“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“We are glad that Shaelyn could sit our two dogs for us. She was very thorough in her preparation and conscientious about staying in our home. Shaelyn left our home clean and our dogs happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“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!”
“Rosie was wonderful! She arrived right on time and my dogs loved her immediately. She was extremely accommodating of last minute change. She was kind, professional and clearly has experience with pet care.”
“My very timid dog had an enjoyable evening with her first time with Maisie. Maisie has a calm and pleasant way that made my dog comfortable in her presence. I hope Maisie will be available to spend more time with my dog in the future.”
“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!!!”
“I couldn't recommend Haley highly enough. It's hard to find people you trust and can rely on - and with Haley you get both. (Plus daily photos and great communication.) She's one of the only people we will have watch our dogs. We appreciate you!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Chloe took great care of my cat! When I returned home from out of town, my girl seemed totally happy. I get anxious being apart from my cat, but Chloe communicated well and made me feel completely at ease being away from her.”
“I appreciated that Hallie traveled from Big Sky to Bozeman everyday to take care of my pets and home. My pets were happy and healthy when we returned. My house was left neat and clean. Hallie is a reliable sitter.”
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, I have even helped rescue a few dogs! I have experience in dog and house sitting. I am working part time currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am trying to get 10k steps everyday so being able to walk dogs will make it 100x more enjoyable. I make sure dogs are comfortable with my presence and are able to relax as if they were with their owners still. I make sure to follow instructions that are provided for the best experience possible.
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!
“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Orchard Homes is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orchard Homes
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.
Haley was an absolutely wonderful dog and house sitter! She was courteous, friendly, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. She took such great care of our young puppy, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos at exactly the cadence we had discussed. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear our pup was in great hands. I would 100% trust Haley to watch our puppy again and sincerely hope she’ll stay with her in the future. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
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!
Chloe and Chevron are practically besties at this point! Chloe spoiled Chevy over the holiday, taking her for a pup cup at Big Dipper, adventures on local trails, and managing her disregulation during fireworks. Chloe is incredibly respectful of our space and I highly recommend!

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.
