“Rachel watched our anxious senior dog in our home for the long weekend. We hadn’t left him with a stranger before and she worked her magic because he looked as relaxed as if we were there. Lots of communication and she was very observant about what he was and wasn’t up for. Hope she’s available next time we travel! Made our trip so relaxing as we weren’t worried about him.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and reliable pet lover with experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have two dogs, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. Over the years, I’ve cared for many pets through drop-in visits, dog walks, senior pet care and overnights. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, medication reminders, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. One of my favorite parts of pet care is seeing the excitement on a dog’s face when I walk through the door. Building trust and creating a positive experience for every pet is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members soon! 🤍 I currently am working part time at my job, but I old love to spend my mornings/afternoons taking care of your pets! My availability is flexible and can also accept weekend bookings I currently have a small fenced yard where my dogs are able to go out during the day and soak up the sun! They love being outdoors so we can play. I am willing to accommodate any type of service your pets need!

About: I've always had a huge love for dogs, and with years of hands-on experience, I've had the opportunity to care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I spent four years at Pet Supplies Plus as a dog bather, where I learned firsthand the patience and dedication that go into caring for dogs. I've also worked with dogs who prefer their personal space, dogs who may be shy or hesitant around other dogs, and senior dogs or dogs with mobility issues who need a little extra help, including getting up and down stairs. As a Clinical Mental Health Counseling master's student, I bring a unique level of patience, attentiveness, and understanding to the care I provide. I believe every dog deserves to have their individual needs and personality respected, whether that means endless cuddles and playtime or giving them the space and comfort they need. I'm happy to meet each dog where they're at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also love sending plenty of pictures and updates so you never have to worry while you're away! I make it a priority to create a dedicated schedule for you and your pets that works around their individual needs, including meals, walks, playtime, and overnight care. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week. As a graduate student, I do have some classes and internship commitments, but I am able to plan around those to ensure your pets receive plenty of attention and care. I have the most flexibility on weekends and love to spend the entire day with your pets. I am also available for overnights and will have even more flexibility during school breaks, including winter break. I will even put together a written schedule outlining feeding times, walks, playtime, and when I will be with your pets, so you know exactly what their routine will look like while they are in my care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while keeping their routine as consistent as possible! I always prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you and your pet, learn their routine, and understand your preferences. I want your pet to feel comfortable and familiar with me before you leave. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with mobility challenges or health conditions, and accidents or unexpected messes are never a problem! I pay close attention to changes in behavior or signs that something may be wrong so I can recognize when a pet might need additional or emergency care. During longer stays and overnights, I love having a new study buddy and making sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I prioritize their health and safety, including being mindful of their surroundings and other animals during walks. I also send plenty of pictures and updates so you always know how your pet is doing! I make sure to leave your home neat and tidy, clean up after your pet, and vacuum when needed so you can come home to a happy pet and a tidy space!

About: I've taken care of various types of pets like birds, cats, and dogs. My experience mainly comes from family and friend requests; however, I am very passionate about taking care of pets and do my best to make sure they are happy! I have a rescue dog who I have trained to not chew on shoes, do some tricks, be gentle when grabbing treats, and to wait when getting food. I'm currently enrolled in an in-person summer class which means that on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I am only available after 1pm. I also work part-time over the weekends so my schedule varies. Despite this my schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to move around work hours to make sure your pets are well taken care of! :) While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I will make sure your pets are well cared for in the comfort of your home. Whether that includes indoor and outdoor playtime, walks, feeding, or extra attention and affection, I will make sure your pets receive the care they need. I love animals of all kinds and will treat your pets with patience, kindness, and responsibility. I will also keep your home clean and tidy while ensuring all instructions and routines are followed carefully.

About: What sets me apart is that pet care is already a huge part of my daily life. I have an Australian Cattle Dog named Ember, so I’m very used to active routines, playtime, walks, and giving lots of love and attention every day. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient with potty training and routines for younger dogs, and comfortable giving medication and gentle care to older pets. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I truly love making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine with my dog. I’m a full-time online student and work part-time nights 3 days a week but I still have plenty of daytime flexibility to give pets consistent care, attention, and love. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible, with lots of love, attention, and patience. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, and always have fresh water and a clean, comfortable space. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs whether that’s extra exercise, calm reassurance, or gentle care and I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.

About: If you’re looking for a dependable, loving sitter who will treat your dog like family, you’ve come to the right place. I have years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, enjoying daily walks, keeping up with playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe pet care is about more than meeting basic needs, it’s about building trust and creating a positive experience for both you and your dog. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and favorite things, so they feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we meet. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. I’m the sitter who gets down on the floor to play, remembers your dog’s little quirks after just one visit, and sends plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets! I am currently employed in the Howell area with my schedule varying but flexible. My work day starts in the afternoon/late afternoon into the evening. I can stay at a client’s home as I have experience with this. Most people I dog sit give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their furry friend as well as staying safe.I have experience staying at clients’ homes, so I can do this. Most dog sitters I know give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their pets and staying safe in the home.

Catherine was a blessing when we needed a sitter to stay with our Bella while we attended a family funeral. She was thorough in making sure she understood our care instructions, she was loving in her handling of our pup, and careful and respectful of our home. We have a laundry list of things that go into her meals and she carefully read through and made sure she knew where everything was and how it was administered. I am always a little worried when we leave the pup, but I felt sure that Bella would be in good hands after walking thru things with Catherine. She kept us informed with daily diary entries of the day's events and a stream of pictures of Bella's walks and couch sessions. We would not hesitate to use Catherine again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Point Pleasant

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Point Pleasant is $82 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $153 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 November 2026, there are 1,504 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Point Pleasant. 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 Pleasant 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 Pleasant 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 Pleasant 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Point Pleasant. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
