About: I own a hamster, so I empathize with every furry best friend. I understand what it takes to take care of your little ones, and I’m attentive and detail oriented. I have babysat from children to fish. I don’t mind I have a lot of free time, so feel free to request me at any time if I am not occupied with prior responsibilities. I currently own a hamster that I tend for by cleaning its poop and removing the stained bedding pieces. I also clean her wheel and replace her water when needed to provide a clean environment for her. For your notes, I will follow whatever instructions if needed, to care and tend to your loved animal.

About: I’m a very loving individual and you will see that. I steered into the Medical Field for a little but my heart is in animals and giving them the attention they need. I have worked at Rover Oaks as a Doggie Daycare attendant. From being bitten to having snuggling moments, I wouldn’t change my thought or reconsider any animal that I’ve taken care of. I have had animals my whole life. No dog/cat is too much for me. I love each one! I give baths and clip nails. As well as I can give medications if needed. I will be going to school to become a Vet Tech Assistant next year. I am CPR certified. I would be honored to take care and give love to your animals. I’m ready to meet your furry friends!

“Tuongvi and her partner took care of my two Yorkies in my home for the second time and I would continue to recommend her! After taking care of my pups for a few days the first time, she helped me for two weeks this time. Like before, she was communicative, responsive, punctual, and she sent me pictures and updates at least a couple times daily without me having to ask. She was also accommodating to my few ad hoc requests. She respected the instructions I shared and asked questions where clarity was needed. My home was left in good shape. It is appreciated that I was able to be away feeling reassured and having peace of mind that my pups and home were going to be OK. Thanks Tuongvi!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: With 16 years of experience with pets, I can read their body language and know how to interact well with them. Neighbors trust me to take care of their pets during their holidays. Your pet can explore every corner of my home; I will not restrict them to separate spaces or lock them in backyard (I saw my neighbor pet sitter always do in that way). Your furry friend will feel relaxed and comfortable as if they are in their own home. Also, I own a well-mannered, self-trained small service dog on-site. I offer puppy training sessions and specialized care for senior pet. A complimentary dog bath is included for any boarding stay of 10days or longer. I work remotely from home, meaning i can supervise and care for your pets around the clock, seven days a week. Dogs get two daily walks — one in the morning and one in the evening. I also have a private backyard where they can relieve themselves and play freely four additional times throughout the day. My property features a secure fenced backyard, plus i have a sweet, friendly service dog. I’m passionate about pets, and strive to give your beloved pup a cozy, home-away-from-home experience.

“Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.”

About: I grew up on a ranch here in Texas with many different dog breeds of all ages. I have plenty of experience and I’m comfortable with any breed! I’m stay at home mother with 2 little girls who are 3 and 1. We love pets but don't have any of our own. We go outside for walks through the day frequently and enjoy giving pets plenty of attention. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to care for pets. I live in an apartment complex with a fenced dog area, so dogs can safely get outside, play, and get some exercise. I’d make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and lots of love while they’re in my care.

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 8, growing up with a husky and a poodle who were truly part of our family. I'm patient and even-tempered, and I rarely get frustrated, especially with pets. Today my wife and I share our home with our own 2-year-old dog, so caring for a dog is part of our daily life. I'm comfortable with high-energy breeds as well as gentler, calmer dogs. Caring for dogs is already built into our routine because we have our own 2-year-old pup. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for boarding and daytime. Your dog will get regular walks, meals on their usual schedule, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We live in a first floor apartment with a securely fenced yard, so dogs can play outside safely and there are no stairs to worry about. The neighborhood is quiet and has several small parks within walking distance. My wife and I are both at home with your dog, and we always follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and house rules. Our 2-year-old Westie is a happy, social pup who gets along wonderfully with every dog he meets, they will definitely have a good time!

About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

FAQs for House Sitting - Orchard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,614 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orchard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Orchard walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Orchard maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Orchard choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orchard. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
