“Quinn is fantastic! Our dogs can be pretty crazy and Quinn was so gracious and great with them. We are already planning to book again. Highly recommend!!”
“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!!”
“Lynda went above and beyond. She took wonderful care of my pets and my home. I got updates with THE cutest pictures, and they were smiling in every single one! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter to watch my critters!”
“Lily was amazing! We booked last minute with her and she thoroughly surpassed our expectations. She was comfortable supporting our reactive dog and very accommodating to both our dogs and cat’s needs. She made sure they were comfortable, eating enough, getting exercise and play time. She sent many photos and kept me updated throughout. She eased my anxiety leaving our pups for the first extended period of time, we felt so reassured knowing she was loving and caring for our boys like her own! She was also very thoughtful in her questions and care for our home. We will book with her again!”
“Payson was able to watch my dog on very short notice and still came to do a meet and greet prior to his stay. He sent me a photo of her, and was fast with his communication! Thanks again!”
“Haley was a great sitter for our two high energy, 'free-range' dogs. They got all the hikes and cuddles they needed. She stayed at our house over the period we were away and left the place looking great.”
“Louise watched my dog a while back when Kora had several injuries that required activity restrictions, and Louise did an awesome job sticking to them, sending me updates, and just hanging out and spending time with Kora.”
“Our first time using Rover, and what a relief to have someone like Morgan watching our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog and our home. It’s nice to be able to travel and not worry!”
“Cyrus took great care of our pets. They were very relaxed when we got home and you can tell they had a stress-free week. He left our apartment very clean and was responsive when we messaged. Thanks so much Cyrus, hope to book with you again!”
“Cora was wonderful and Gus was well taken care of all weekend. She made sure to send frequent updates on how he was doing, got his favorite game of fetch in (even with crappy weather), and went out of her way to drop him off at home periodically for some breaks since we lived conveniently close by. This was a last minute request and we were so grateful he was in good hands.”
“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!”
About: I care about your animals needs! I can house sit and stay over night, take them out for hikes or walks, make sure they are getting all the love and food they need! I have experience through shadowing at the Animal Clinic and helping out at nearby Animal Shelters. I’ve also had temporary dogs at my home and personally owned 4 dogs, 3 big and 1 small dog. I have a cat currently and have owned fish, hermit crabs, and fancy rats as well, so even rodents aren’t an issue with me! I work a part-time job, I’m always around town, and I go to the West Campus for school. I am able to get around by Vehicle. I have availability, it just needs to work around carpentry classes and my FedEx job. I usually take care of pets with the provided materials at their own home. I won’t be able to have pets into my own home. I will definitely bring extra toys and brushes if need be!
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“Matt is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve had! He watched my pups for a week at my house and could not have been more communicative, attentive, flexible, and easy to deal with. He is extremely punctual, sent me tons of photos, and catered to my pups particular needs. He left my house super clean and left my pups happy and well cared for. He is extremely nice and a total delight to work with! Couldn’t recommend him more highly!”
“Eliza is our new favorite sitter! She did an excellent job caring for my reactive/anxious pup, was very communicative, and left the house even better than when she arrived. Would highly recommend Eliza to other pet parents!”
About: I love taking care of pets! I have spent my past 2 summers taking care of various animals for family and friends. I also taught my own dog to shake and roll over! I am a student at University of Montana, and I am able to care for your pet in between classes, every morning, afternoon and evening. I also am able to transport myself whenever I need to! Typically, I have always stayed at the homeowners home with the pet so the pet is able to be in a comfterable enviorment that they are familiar with!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orchard Homes
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!
This is our second booking with Logan and once again we've been delighted with her care, reliability, and thoughtfulness in looking after our pup and our home! Our normally shy and skittish dog seems very comfortable with Logan very quickly, and we feel so at ease when we're away knowing that she's getting all the love and cuddles we would normally give her when we're home. Logan is a great communicator and sends regular updates as well, which we so appreciate! And our house is always left spotless when we come back. Always such a wonderful experience with Logan - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Orchard Homes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orchard Homes is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 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 October 2026, there are 303 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 , 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.
