“5 star pet sitter! It was clear from the get go Zoe takes it seriously. Absolutely will book again. Updates with pictures were thorough, thoughtful, and consistent. I felt like my kitty was safe and in good hands. Thank you!”
“Logan was amazing with our senior dog plus four cats. She fulfilled everyone's individual needs with care and confidence, allowing our family to enjoy an off-grid vacation without worries. Great communication from first contact and throughout our time away. Left our home clean and tidy. I will 100% rebook and provide any recommendations for Logan as an excellent pet and house sitter!”
“Amber was a fabulous dog/house sitter. She took great care of our little chihuahua while we were gone for the weekend. She was responsive and sent me some photos and updates so I knew he was being well cared for! I would definitely book her again for future house sitting needs!”
“Quinn was an amazing sitter for our kitty Murphy! From the very beginning, they were quick to respond, incredibly receptive, and made us feel completely at ease. It was clear that Quinn truly cares for animals—they were respectful of our home and kept everything clean. When we returned, Murphy was so happy and relaxed, which made us feel confident that they were in great hands the whole time. We really appreciated Quinn’s trustworthiness and the peace of mind they gave us while we were away. We can’t wait to have them back next time we travel!”
“Traci did a fantastic job house sitting for us and had great communication. She provided daily photos and was very accommodating for our dog. Would definitely recommend!”

“Shaelyn is attentive, patient, dependable and she provides updates and photos. I know my boy is in great hands when I'm gone and she had the magic touch when it came to gaining his trust.”
“Georgina is a fantastic dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua. He warmed up quickly to Georgina and she sent me lots of photos and updates, which I appreciated! I could tell he was well taken care of while we were gone! She also kept the house clean and went above and beyond and washed the sheets at the end of her stay. I will definitely book Georgina again in the future!!”
“Corbin was awesome! Incredibly communicative and on top of things. He was so good about asking questions and checking in, and making sure Maisie was well taken care of. Maisie had a great time with him.”
“April was fantastic! Our cat was so happy to have her stay at our house. Her communication was great and I loved the photo updates. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. It was clear she spent som real time with our kitty and we are so grateful!”
“Delaney was so wonderful with our dogs! We had never left them for a full week, so I was nervous about this. She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates. I could tell our dogs were comfortable and happy through the pictures and videos she would send. She stayed in our apartment and also left it spotless. I would highly recommend booking Delaney next time you need a dog sitter!!!”
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Chloe was awesome with my temperamental cat who is older and not the easiest to get along with. She was extremely flexible and communicative from the first time I messaged her and even went out of her way to return my extra key before the stay when I realized I briefly needed it back. Left my place very clean and my cat relaxed and comfortable during a heat wave. I would recommend her if you also have a cat who needs a lot of patience and personal space.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and all since I was young. There has always been a dog or cat in my home and I understand the importance these little critters have in our lives! I am ready to accommodate to whatever you and your pet may need! As a college student, my schedule may be busy but is also extremely adjustable! From house sitting with your pet to drop in visits, your pet will receive the care they deserve and the kind that will put your mind at peace! I believe in my three E's of caretaking. Eat: Whatever the situation or meal plan, animals should be taken care of on time and properly! If your pet has any accommodations such as medication, specific eating times or dietary restrictions let me know and I will ensure they are happy and full! Engage: Whether its nap time or running around, your pet deserves an engaged environment where they feel happy and looked after! This means whatever kind of attention your pet prefers, I also prefer! Easy: This process should be easy for not just your pet, but also you. If there is anything I can do for either you or your pet, please let me know!

Corbin stayed at my place to watch my cat during a 10 day vacation out of state. I was hesitant to have someone stay at my place, but my cat much prefers to stay in her own environment. She is indoor/outdoor and can be a bit annoying with her preferred schedule of going in and out. Corbin kept my plants and cat happy for the duration of my trip, sent many updates and photos to keep my mind at ease, and handed the house back to me in better shape than he found it. We will 100% be using Corbin’s services again on our next trip.
Above and beyond, is nothing compared to the care my pet received. I got pictures and updates daily. Traveling is an extremely stressful thing for me. Putting trust in someone to watch over my loved one isn't easy. I had a few complications along the way, and Brianna help keep those stresses to a minimum. As long as she's still in the biz, she will be watching my little lady every time. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Brianna.
Ryan is amazing! She has watched our boys, Carter and Toby, multiple times now, and we always know they are in the best hands. We recently left them overnight while we were at Silverwood, and once again she took such great care of them. She is dependable, communicative, and genuinely cares about our dogs. We always come home to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We are already looking forward to our next booking with Ryan in August. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter!
Chloe was awesome with my temperamental cat who is older and not the easiest to get along with. She was extremely flexible and communicative from the first time I messaged her and even went out of her way to return my extra key before the stay when I realized I briefly needed it back. Left my place very clean and my cat relaxed and comfortable during a heat wave. I would recommend her if you also have a cat who needs a lot of patience and personal space.
Rachel is an absolute lifesaver! My dogs are in the best hands, and I receive consistent updates and photos when she’s watching them. Leaving my furry friends behind is always the toughest part of traveling, but I can’t stress enough how at ease I feel knowing Rachel is taking care of them. I highly recommend her services!
Nicole was great with our pups! She sent lots of photos and updates. Our senior Pittie has some separation issues but once we met Nicole and saw her with our dogs we knew it was a perfect fit - we returned home after an overnight stay to find both dogs calm and happy. We would definitely book with Nicole again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Orchard Homes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orchard Homes on Rover is $46.55 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 292 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orchard Homes. 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 Homes 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 Homes 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 Homes 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orchard Homes. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
