“Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!”
“Yocelyn obviously loves dogs, and my very anxious pocket bully fell in love with her immediately. Yocelyn has a relaxed feel to her, which was good for my dog, and she was also careful to give Farah her numerous supplements. She left the house as she found it and was responsive about letting us know how Farah was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan was great with my 2 pups! He followed my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well taken care of. I received daily updates and photos, which was great while I was out of the country. He brought in all my packages, bins and ensured I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend!”
“I hesitate to leave a good review as I want Hieu and Anna to myself! My pups love them! Which isn't easy for one of my very reactive pups! I love getting the daily fotos and HI-LARIOUS updates! They tell a story, not merely update! This time, the Aunties stayed with my pups in my home for 9 days over the Christmas holiday! They left my home as they found it - clean and tidy! I have used them several times and will continue to use them! I just can't say enough about how great they are - responsible, respectful, FUN!”
“I booked Michaela for the weekend to housesit and stay with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs, so I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. She did great with Michaela! Additionally, my flight back got canceled, and Michaela stayed overnight again and then my second flight got very delayed and Michaela was very nice to extend her stay and stay with my dog a little longer. Ensure she had gone potty and been fed before I got home since I was getting home very late. Additionally, the house was very organized and clean. I will definitely be booking Michaela again!!”
“Xavier was fantastic. He communicated well, confirming details, asking questions and giving updates throughout his stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for. Would hire again in a heartbeat.”
“Deborah has taken care if my two Springers a few times. She takes wonderful care if them, and sends me updates and pictures frequently during the stay. I always come home to very happy dogs!”
“Jaslyn is so sweet and she took care of my 2 dogs very well. I’m very careful of who I let into my home and I can tell you Jaslyn is very trustworthy. My dogs were fed, cleaned, and received a lot of love. I will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Jaslyn!”
“Odette kept our pups safe and happy during a heatwave and was so respectful of our house while we were away. She was easy to reach throughout the week. She went above and beyond to take care of the pups and house.”
“Veronica is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My six month old puppy Zeke loved her and had such a great time with her and her dog JoJo. She kept me up-to-date on how things were going and sent pictures every day. She stayed at my house and when I returned, it was like I never left… She had cleaned everything up!! She is fantastic! Highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pomonkey
Trinity was a great sitter for my Nala. Her communication was awesome and she sent pictures and updates. Nala was on medication so I was relieved to know that Trinity had no problems issuing her medication. I will be using Trinity again for my fur baby and she’s excited to spend time with Trinity again. I have also told my friend who has a dog about her as well. Nala and I thank you Trinity for an awesome experience!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pomonkey
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 8,861 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pomonkey. 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 Pomonkey 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 Pomonkey 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 Pomonkey 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.
