“Lacey and her family watched my home and two dogs for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They took great care of our house and left it super clean, sent pictures of my fur babies every day, and were very quick and easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend, will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“We had a great experience with Sonja while she watched over our 5 pets for the weekend. She communicates very well, is friendly, great with the animals, and their needs. We will definitely ask for her help again. Highly recommended. Nate & Kendra”
“Iris is great. She sent a few pictures of my doggie girls while we were away and cleaned up after them after they chewed up sticks that they brought in through the doggie door. (They do this daily!)”
About: I've had a couple of years of walking and sitting dogs. Not that much but that's why I'm on Rover. To gain more experience with animals that I love. My schedule is very flexible. I do believe in Sunday being the day of rest, so I won't be doing any jobs on Sundays. Tell me about your schedule so that I can help you! My landlord will not allow dogs or cats inside their home, but I'll write down your instructions and you'll feel safe and confident in my work after I leave. If I need to improve on anything for your expectations, I'll happily change for you.
About: Hello! i’m Faith i’m a Dog Bather. I have been for about two years now. I have also been house sitting for about the same amount of time. However, i was raised on horse and have previously house sat and watched horses as well. I do work as a bather during the week and i’m in college so i’m totally available on weekends and nights/evenings during the week days. I personally like to try to build and calm and trusting environment for each dog i interact with. I do also try to make sure that i’m setting clear boundaries and rules with every dog to start off.
About: Besides the usual watching friends and families pets, I have had experience raising and caring for a kitten right from birth. I am very enthusiastic and catering towards all pet needs I currently work part time, leaving lots of time to spend taking care of your furry friends!

Both their safety and general wellbeing are put first and I aim to keep them as happy as you do!
“Evelynn is amazing with both dogs and cats, and is careful to make sure pets are comfortable and happy while I am away. She has a sweet way with more sensitive dogs. Helps them feel secure and safe. My dogs were rescued from overcrowded shelters, so need someone who understands dogs who have been through hard things. Evelynn is amazing with them.”
“Kaitlin took great care of our dog while we were out enjoying the St Anthony Sand Dunes. She was very attentive to his needs and made sure he was comfortable and safe while we were gone. I will definitely reach out to have her take care of him if we are in the area again.”
“Zoe was amazing with our two German shepherds and took such great care of them and our two cats for the week we were gone! I did not have to worry about a thing the whole time. She let us know regularly how things were going and sent us the cutest pictures of our animals! Our house was so clean when we got home and the animals were so content. We will definitely be using her regularly when we have to go out of town for any length of time!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orvin
Isabel is amazing. She took care of our high maintenance doggy duo for nearly three weeks. She managed our pushy Frencie like a champ and wasn’t deterred by his amped greetings. She sent us daily photos and updates and took care of not only the feeding, watering and potty breaks, but all the extras (eye medicines, nose butter, messes, etc). She is an absolute gem and I hope we can make her a regular sitter. I am just so grateful for everything she managed during our absence, and for being willing to take on such a long stay. I look forward to having her back, and I HIGHLY recommend her services!

The average cost of House Sitting in Orvin is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $69 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Orvin 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 Orvin 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 Orvin 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.
