“What started as a work trip turned into a SKZOO animal party featuring my three girls: Heidi, Nel, and Gwyen. Heidi was my biggest concern leaving — she’s a 13-year-old senior dog undergoing cancer treatment with a strict medication schedule. Cameryn handled it without a hitch. Gwyen is an asthmatic cat who absolutely refuses her medicine — she’s a fighter in every sense. Nel is a young, highly energetic “chaos gremlin,” also known as a German Shorthaired Pointer. Cameryn successfully kept all three happy, healthy, and entertained: a senior dog with complex medical needs, a cat who turns medication time into a battle, and a full-speed chaos gremlin — and they were probably better behaved than the actual SKZOO. I’m so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to any pet parent, K-pop girlie or not. 🐥🐺🐰🐨🐷🦊🐶🦜”
“Anthea is a cat whisper. My kitten took to her immediately and my anxiety ridden kitty stayed mellow and calm during the whole stay. She is dedicated to her charges and communicates in detail and quickly. Will leave my two fur babies with her anytime.”
“Shaelyn has great communication and made sure we had photos and updates everyday. She loved on our babies and we really appreciated her willingness to listen to us and the needs, keeping their routine as normal as possible. It’s hard to leave them, especially with a puppy, and she kept them happy and safe! She’s now a part of our pack!”
“Lyla did a great job: she was willing to come meet the pups beforehand, showed up on time to house/dog sit, sent photos and updates, and left the house and dogs clean and happy. We hope to use Lyla for future dog care needs and highly recommend her to others.”
“Went above and beyond for both myself and my brothers (the pets). She accommodated us greatly to the extreme weather that happened in Portland, making us unable to fly back home on time. She kept us updated with photos and texts letting us know how the day went. My pets, especially Beckham, has fallen in love with her! I trust her entirely to take care of my home and pets with the greatest of care and consideration.”
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”
“I highly recommend Tiffany for any pet sitting you require. She is an outstanding human being and my animals took to her immediately, even my very skittish cat who seemingly hates everyone. I was very impressed by her caring and easy going personality and by her professionalism. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my home and my beloved companions. I had a truly great experience.”
“Pat recently watched our dog Clio for use while we went out of town for two weeks to get married and go on a honeymoon. Pat is the only sitter we've used where we can leave town for a longer period of time and Clio is totally unstressed when we return. We will absolutely be using Pat for all future stays whenever she's available, and you definitely should too!”
“Jayne was incredible! She was so good with our boy and our home. She kept me updated the entire time and kept me completely at ease. She went above and beyond in every aspect, I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”
“Caitlin was an absolutely phenomenal dogsitter! She took the time to really understand what Delly's needs would be, and went absolutely out of her way to keep her engaged and entertained for the entire stay. She is a phenomenal communicator and takes her job very seriously. We are looking forward to having her back to watch Delly in the future!”
“Kaitlyn put my mind at ease while I was out for the day! I will definitely hire her again. I especially love that she sent me update pictures of the pups! We’ll see you next time, Kaitlyn! 🐶🐾🖤”
“Michaela was excellent with our puppy. Super communicative, with tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Bogey loved his walks while she was with him. We can’t wait to ask her to sit for us again.”
“Alex is the best! We needed help with our three cats with very little scheduling notice, and Alex stepped up to help. He took notes while I went over their routine, and I could tell he took caring for them very seriously. He even agreed to bringing in our mail and watering some plants. One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections twice daily, and she was also on an oral antibiotic. Alex updated us regularly about how the cats were doing, whether or not the diabetic cat was eating, and how feedings and medication administrations went. It really eased our anxieties with leaving our three cats with individual needs in the hands of someone so capable and trustworthy. Alex's professionalism and dedication to providing quality care for our cats and the house while we were gone allowed us to focus on what we needed to at that time. We will undoubtedly request his services for future cat care needs while we are away.”
“We have been privileged to have Paul sit for our rescue chihuahua, Charlie, multiple times. He and his wife Jan take excellent care of our boy and our home. Indescribable piece of mind knowing Charlie is in his own home, with his favorite pal, Paul. Highly recommend!”
“Francisca did an amazing job with our dogs. Great communication the entire time she was at our house. We returned to a clean tidy house and she even assisted with a couple of household tasks like bribing our trash cans back up to the house! Our dogs were super”
“Annabelle was fantastic! Super good with Marshall and sent photos and updates on the regular while I traveled to Vegas for a weekend! Very kind and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
“This was Roree’s first time caring for our little ten pound yorkie-poo Willow. She followed all of our instructions perfectly. The house was just as we left it. But most importantly, Willow was very content and happy in Roree’s company. Roree sent pictures to us every day we were gone, which we loved!! Roree even came to meet Willow several weeks before we hired her to let Willow get acquainted with her. We will definitely use Roree in the future. She is dependable reliable and trustworthy.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orchards
She has house sit for us twice now and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust with 5 fur babies. We have two Great Danes and 3 cats with very particular personalities, and we were nervous about finding someone who would be comfortable about handling and caring for them. Skyler has done that with flying colors and we have always come home to 5 happy pets. We have another trip booked with her already and with all the stress that goes along with traveling, we have a little less knowing that our animals will be well taken care of.
Kaitlyn dogsat for us, while we were out of town and did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs while away. She sent us pictures every day, was great at communicating/updating us on how they were all doing and gave them lots of love! Would definitely recommend as a dog sitter, and will be reaching out again in the future!
Chelsea is a great caretaker for our dog. She helped us while we were away to be with family and followed all the special instructions we have for our older dog. She even asked about our plants, she is a really sweet person and will be really sweet to your pets as well!
Janesia was an excellent pet and house sitter! She was our first experience using Rover after our pet sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Janesia had great communication, was friendly and the dogs loved her. She kept in contact while we were out of town and left the house tidy when we returned. We absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter and she will be our go-to for the future.
Cameryn was wonderful with our Wendy dog. Wendy became anxious after our other dog died. Cameryn was able to calm her. She has a special way with dogs. Cameryn spent the nights here and sent us updates. We will be using Cameryn again next month for our vacation! Thank you Cameryn😘💗
Danielle is awesome and we will definitely book with her again! She took care of our dog and house sat for a long weekend and we had a 10/10 experience with her! Communication was great, she sent us lots of updates and asked questions when needed. We could tell that Doug got lots of love from her 💕 The house was so clean when we returned, it was like she was never there, ha! And she kept my garden watered so I had a nice harvest to come home to. Thanks so much Danielle! Absolutely recommend her for your pet and house sitting needs.
Annie got our nervous boy to cuddle with her! She did such a wonderful job watching both our dog and our cat while we were out of state. Gave us peace of mind that our babies were safe with her for the week. Can’t recommend her enough, gave us updates and pictures throughout the week as well!
Shane was great. He sent me photos and videos while I was away. Gave my eldest dog her antibiotics. The dogs seemed a little too happy that I was gone. It was also the week of both his and wife’s birthdays, so I appreciated the sacrifices he made for them/us. He took the trashcan up my driveway for collection and brought in the mail too. Also, the house was very clean when I got back. All very much appreciated by me.
Lyla was great with our big fur baby and home for a week, while we were on a family vacation. She was very quick to respond any time we checked in, while also proactively sending updates and pictures. Lyla left our home very clean and undisturbed. I highly recommend Lyla to others!
Having Michaela was the best dog/house sitter experience. She was perfect with our three big dogs who can be a handful at times. She is very attentive to each dogs needs, quirks, and behaviours. She sent photos and updates each day to put us at ease. Walked/played with them multiple times a day. She even left a sweet card with their paw prints and pictures of them. So thoughtful and left the house cleaner than when we left. 10/10 recommend.
Caitlin stayed for an extended weekend with our 4 month old kitten and was absolutely amazing! I was nervous about leaving our boy for the first time and Caitlin made the whole process so comfortable and reassuring-she met him before we left, and provided a ton of detail about what to expect. It’s very clear that Caitlin is passionate about animals and is incredibly knowledgeable, she went out of her way to provide really helpful new food and litter recommendations and was willing to test things out for us under her care. She was very responsive and respectful of our requests and care for our home as well. 10/10, would absolutely recommend and rebook with Caitlin any time!

FAQs for House Sitting - Orchards
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orchards on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,470 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orchards. 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 Orchards 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 Orchards 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 Orchards 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.

- 95% 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.
