Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our 2 senior dogs. One is a finicky eater, and Joanne worked patiently with her to get her to eat. She gave detailed updates and lots of photos. It was hard to trust a stranger to watch our dogs in our home, but meeting Joanne, I could tell they would be in really good hands. We have told all of our neighbors about Joanne, and will definitely use her services in the future. Even if we have to plan our trip around her availability :) Do yourself and your fur babies a favor, book with Joanne!

Jessica was fantastic. This was the first time we had someone sit in our house for our dog Clyde. He gets anxious when he is not with our family. When we returned from our trip he was still his happy self. No stress or anxiety. Jessica took great care of Clyde and our home! We will definitely use Jessica again.

Tess is the best! One of our dogs is quite anxious. I could tell from the pictures that he was super comfortable with Tess. We received pictures and updates daily and knew they were in wonderful hands. To top everything, Tess was a super home sitter as well. Tess is genuine, reliable, considerate and a sweet and caring person. Six stars out of five!!

About: Hi! I'm Laurie, and I'd love to care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. Whether you're away for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar environment, and if needed, in my home. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine. I believe every dog and cat deserves plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and gentle care. I take the time to get to know your pet so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. You can count on me to: Follow your pet's routine and feeding schedule carefully. Provide plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Keep water bowls full, administer simple medications if needed, and clean up after your pet. Send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. Treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a big decision. My goal is to earn that trust through reliability, kindness, and open communication from our first meeting through every visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I'd be honored to provide the loving care they deserve while you're away! I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule permits. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any house rules you have for your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible, since familiar surroundings help them feel safe and relaxed. I'll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of affection, and the attention they need. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure and tidy while you're away. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they'll receive plenty of individual attention, supervision, and love. I'm currently in the process of building a secure fenced yard so dogs will soon have a safe, enclosed space to run, play, and explore under my supervision. Until the fence is complete, all outdoor time will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were part of my own family. I also keep pet owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

I was very pleased with the service Jazmin provided. She left my home exactly how she found it and was very responsive to my texts! I especially enjoyed the pictures of Delilah that Jazmin sent to me without me even asking for them. I would not hesitate to have Jazmin sit for Delilah again and will certainly reach out to her when I travel again!

Devon was great with our dogs - they are both large and athletic and he was able to provide them the exercise and snuggles they needed. I was reassured by the daily pictures and updates and could see for myself how comfortable my dogs were with Devon. He's such a nice guy with a calm energy. He took great care of the house and left everything as neat as a pin when he left. Would definitely recommend and we will be using Devon again for other trips.

About: I've always helped take care of the animals in the household since I was little. My family used to breed our dogs so I have experience with raising puppies from birth to when they leave for their forever homes. I have looked after other family members pets as well. I am a college student so I can work around my class schedule to spend as much time needed with you beloved pets and make sure they are taken care of! Making sure your pets are comfortable and that their daily routines stay continued is very important. Trusting me with your lovely pets is a great accomplishment for me and very exciting.

Thank you Jennifer for watching our pup, Rob. He was happy, healthy and (pleasantly) tired when we got home. We appreciate you taking good care of him. We will reach out again in the future!

My husband and I were away on our honeymoon for two weeks, and our original dog walker unexpectedly got sick. We had to scramble to find someone reliable to stay at our home and care for our dog, Quincy. We’re so grateful for Jennifer and her family for stepping in! She was incredibly dependable, kept Quincy’s routine consistent, and showed him so much love — as if he were her own. I really appreciated how flexible she and her family were with our last-minute request. Highly recommend booking her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Point of Rocks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Point of Rocks 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 3,434 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Point of Rocks. 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 Point of Rocks 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 Point of Rocks 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 Point of Rocks 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 Point of Rocks. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
