“This is our second time using Zoe and she is great! She does everything we ask and more. She always leaves our house in excellent condition and our pup is very happy upon our return! She sends daily updates with a lot of photos which we love to see while traveling. We will definitely reach out to Zoe for any future needs!”
“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!”
“Logan was outstanding! Our dog got to go on lots of adventures and was very active. Her communication was top notch! She was very respectful to our home as well. We hope to book her for all of our future trips!”
“Corbin is a truly great pet + house sitter, and we feel so lucky to have found him! He took great care of our pup and our home while we were away for a week. He checked-in regularly with photos and updates, and responded promptly whenever we reached out. He is very professional, kind, and overall just seems like a great person. He left our place very clean and tidy, and our pup really seemed to bond with him well as a new best friend. We would gladly recommend Corbin’s services, and look forward to working with him again soon.”
“Lizzie was so amazing! Our younger dog gets really excited and dogs jump on new people (he is in classes for that). She was so sweet and patient with him. Throughout her whole stay with the dogs she sent multiple photos, checked in with us regularly, and was always very attentive with the dogs. Dogs were fed on time (following all the details we left behind), they went on long walks and never had an issue. We would absolutely book her again!”
“This was the first time Natalee stayed with our 2 dogs and one cat. I am always nervous about leaving them! However after meeting Natalee, I felt very comfortable with our pets I her care! She is very capable and responsible. Will definitely book her again. 🌸”
“Emma is kind, responsive, and wonderful with our pups! We have a big girl who is slow to warm up and can be a bit intimidating to new people. Emma met Cora with care and clearly spent the time and energy needed to make her comfortable. Both our pups were clearly well cared for (especially during a night with a big scary thunder storm). She also provided frequent updates and made sure we knew the doggos were in great hands. Thanks, Emma!”
About: Hi pet lovers! I have years of experience walking and housesitting pet, from new puppies to senior dogs. I have cared for deaf and blind pets, and those with other medical complications. I learned so much about training dogs through raising my own puppy, Luma, who is now a retired dog show champion! I am currently working flexible hours from home, so I have plenty of time to play with pets! When I do have meetings during the day, they only last for 1-2 hours at a time, so your pet will never be without attention for long! Your pet's safety and happiness is my priority. I have worked with off-leash and leashed dogs, and am comfortable putting on harnesses or other safety measures for your pet.
“Breanna was absolutely amazing, she communicated and sent update pictures the perfect amount, took care of our little spaz ball, and most importantly spoiled him like we do. I would recommend and will undoubtedly rebook he to take care of our little pup!”
About: Animals make life better! I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 8-years-old, walking neighborhood dogs and checking in on cats. During the pandemic, I volunteered at an animal shelter in Indiana. I ran miles with active dogs, provided enrichment through puzzle feeders, and even created videos about adoptable pets that ended up on the local news (and helped them get adopted!). Most recently, I’ve worked with an animal shelter in Missoula, helping them build up their social media and outreach. I have experience with kittens, puppies, rabbits, chickens, senior pets and dogs that are dog-aggressive or anti-social. I strive to provide the best pet care because they’re our family members and we want them in the best care while we’re away. I’m a strong communicator and always send text updates and photos! I’m a graduate student a the University of Montana. My days are flexible. I can feed/check-in during the morning, evening, or both depending on how much you need me. The animals safety is always top priority. I make sure to give your pet attention if they want it, give them treats, give them fresh water and for cats—scooping their box each visit. I always make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave or close the door. I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their family is away!
“Nichole house sat and watched my 2 larger dogs for me while I was away for the holidays. She did a fantastic job and was very flexible given that she watched my pets over the holidays. She sent me pupdates and pictures during her stay so I always knew my girls were in good hands. When I returned I could tell my dogs were happy and had enjoyed their time with Nichole. I highly recommend Nichole as she is professional, courteous and a true dog lover. I will use her in the future for house sitting my pets.”
“Ashlee taught our dog to shake while we were gone. We can tell our pup was well taken care for and had energy burned. She was responsive, communicative, and the house looked great when we got home.”
About: I have experience caring for various pets, including dogs, cats, and small rodents. As a pet caregiver, I'm dedicated to providing your furry family members with the utmost love and care. With my experience in tending to various pets, you can trust that your beloved animals will receive the attention, comfort, and safety they need while you're away. I have part time work and flexible schedule. So I will always find a time to feed, play, walk and take care of your pets! I provide the best care for pets by maintaining a consistent feeding and exercise routine to keep them healthy and happy. Additionally, I ensure their emotional well-being by offering plenty of love, attention, and a safe, comfortable living environment.
“Alexus was wonderful!! She took care of our 2 labradoodles over the weekend. She sent us photos of our dogs which helped us to know that they were content. Everything in our home was just fine when we returned. We enjoyed meeting and talking with Alexus before her stay and would most certainly have her house sit our dog again. Five Stars with enthusiasm! Jim & Suzanne”
“Phoebe was great to work with taking care of our two dogs for the day. She is great about keeping in touch and sending pics and super friendly with our dogs. Thank you!”
About: I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals, have my own dog, and have cared for friend’s dogs of all ages and breeds for years. I work a regular weekday schedule and have Fridays off, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m also available some weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I take an active and attentive approach to pet care and will make sure your pet(s) get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship during each visit. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine closely, while also keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away!

“Ben is an excellent “dog” person! And when plans go awry he is highly adaptable to not only hiccups in the house-sitting, but also with the pet-sitting arrangements. I have a very smart, 1/2 aussie shepherd-1/2 black lab”

Maisie was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Right before we left, our dog got an upset stomach and Maisie was really great with adapting to some last minute instructions until our pup felt better. She left our home very clean and we’d definitely hire her again!
This is our third time booking with Logan, we're so happy to have found her! Our shy and skittish dog has really bonded with her and we feel so at ease knowing she's in good hands when we travel. Logan is such a kind, caring, and reliable person, and it really shows in how attentive she is to the needs of our dog, and our home! Her communication is excellent and we always look forward to her updates to keep us informed about how our dog is doing. We highly recommend her!!
We had a petsitter drop out a day prior to a trip and Payson stepped in so quickly! He really saved our entire trip so we’re grateful for his timing. He took care of our senior cat and sent a photo everyday. Our house was left in great condition and would highly recommend him!
Liliana was amazing taking care of our dog, Scott! She got to know him and adapted to his personal needs. She updated us daily with lots of adorable pictures. She was even nice enough to stay an extra day when our flight was delayed. I can’t recommend her enough!
Eva was fantastic! She accommodated a last-minute booking to watch Chevron in my home. She took great care of Chevron, making sure she got plenty of attention and exercise. Eva communicated frequently and sent lots of updates via text, photo, and video. She took great care of my space. It's nice to have a reliable sitter and we look forward to working with Eva again in the future!
Magnolia delivered compassionate, loving care for my two dogs during my trip out-of-town for spinal surgery. Updates were professional and detailed. Each dog has a very unique personality and individual needs. Magnolia stayed in my home overnight to assure that disruption to their daily patterns were minimized. Not every sitter would be comfortable with giving an 80 lb, dog lap time in my recliner, but Magnolia embraced the challenge.
Courtney is amazing!!! She is great with dogs of all personalities and handled our big, protective senior doggo with love and care. Our pups quickly became pals with Courtney and we came home to happy, relaxed, well cared-for dogs. She provided lovely daily updates and left our house very tidy. Thank you, Courtney!
Haley was wonderful! She took great care of my pets and home while I was out of town. She was very responsible with the medication and extra care one of my dogs needed. Haley sent photos and updates daily. She tidied up the house before I returned home which I really appreciated. I would definitely hire her again.
Abigail was wonderful! My pet-sitting plans changed at the very last minute, and she seriously saved the day. She was able to house-sit my dog and two cats on short notice and was so accommodating about stopping by beforehand to meet everyone and grab the keys. She sent me a daily update, which made me feel so much better while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my little crew had someone there with them and were being well taken care of. She was also super respectful of my home. I’d absolutely book with Abigail again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orchard Homes is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 294 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 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 Homes. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
