“Nicole was great! This was my first time using a dog sitting app and I was nervous. Nicole was on time and kept me updated throughout her stay. I will definitely use her again. 5 ?s.”
“Rachel was amazing. She was very accommodating and communicative. She treated our pets like her very own and she is definitely a dog lover. We will definitely hire her again. Thank you Rachel!!”
“Brittney took care of our frenchie for a whole week. It was our first time leaving our rescue alone so our worries were high initially but her communication was great and our dog took to her well. She followed our dog guide, sent plenty of pictures and ensured vinci was comfortable while we were away. We came back to our house even cleaner than we left it alongside a kind note. Would highly recommend Brittney!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better Rover than Adriana. She took her duties seriously taking great care of our dog Delilah while staying at our house. Very professional and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Paige did a great job with the house and 3 dogs for a week long assignment. I especially appreciated that she took out the trash and started the dishwasher before she left! I would recommend Paige to anyone needing someone to housesit with their dogs. Thanks Paige!”
“We are a repeat customer for Ginger. Ginger has a love of animals and especially our 80 pound Doodle, Lupin! We can always count on her taking excellent care of Lupin and our home when we are away. Everything is always perfect when we get back home. Looking forward to our next trip in which we will again be using Ginger! Thank YOU!”
“She did an amazing job. We have a elderly dog that’s on medicine and she did an amazing job loving and caring for him. She also did a great job taking care of the two other dogs and cat we have! I would hire her again!”
About: I have taken care of every breed of dog. Have worked in the industry for over 3 years and will have my dog cpr and first aid certification. I will be able full time to take care of your lovely dogs. I have experience in the doggy daycare industry for three years now. I will be able to come to your house where your dog feels like home and take care and love them and make sure they are ok.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals from dogs and cats to iguanas and everything in between! I got my first dog at 14 years old. Her name was pumpkin, she was a mutt. I taught her how to sit, roll over, shake, and much more. She was very well trained. I could let her walk with me with no lease she would stay by my side. I had her for almost 15 years. I currently have an Australian cattle dog/English coon hound mix, her name is Phoebe, she is 3 years old and has energy of a puppy! I am currently unemployed, so I will have plenty of time for walks or boarding or even house sitting. I'm looking to help families in anyway I can and enjoy the fun and loving animals. I have a 1.5 year old Australian cattle dog mix named phoebe. She is full of love and lots of energy! We play Frisbee all the time! I will show your animals the same love and attention I show my very own!
“Thank you! My cats and dog are always so well taken care of as well as my house!🩷 constantly updating me with pictures. I feel so comfortable leaving when Alexandra is with my animals! I would recommend her to any of my family and friends :)”
“Rebekah was wonderful with our senior dog and took such great care of him while we were gone. She sent us regular updates and photos as well. We are so grateful she was here and it gave us peace of mind to know our dog was in good hands.”
About: My name is Taylor and I am new to the Saint Charles area! I live with my 2 year old cat Sushi who is the cuddliest cat to ever cuddle. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, so I know that your furry friend is an important member of the family. I have over 10 years of experience feeding, watering, and providing exercise and walks to dogs, as well as caring for and providing enrichment to cats. My keen eye for detail ensures that I follow any and all instructions when it comes to your pet’s care and when visiting your home. I know pet parents love getting updates on their fur babies when they’re away (same), so I make sure to send plenty of pictures and detailed updates whenever providing a service. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! 😊 I work in a hybrid environment, so I’m available throughout the day on Monday and Friday, and in the evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I am available for services on weekends as well, and will update my calendar if I am ever unavailable. I am very responsible and will follow any specific instructions you have thoroughly. Protecting your pet and your home are my number one priority when pet sitting.
About: I have worked with dogs for quite a while now, started off as a boarding attendant at kennelwood, then managed some group play at dogtopia. I do now work full time at a spa.

This is a part-time thing for me. I work full time at a veterinary clinic! This is more of a monthly thing for me. I care for pets in clients home, same with drop-in’s and walks. I stay in contact with clients via text/call. I always provide pictures during the stay.

We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.

FAQs for House Sitting - Orchard Farm
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,567 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orchard Farm. 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 Farm 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 Farm 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 Farm 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
