About: I have a special spot for all animals. For however long it is that I get to watch them, they become an extension of my family. I will do all the things you do, and perhaps then some! Meet me and find out if I’d be a good fit :) I work full time, remote 4/5 days. If you are looking for someone trustworthy to watch your house while you’re away and provide quality time, consistent feedings/medications and outside time, my lifestyle will suit your petsitting needs! I like to leave a place better than I found it, and I prioritize tidying up after I leave so you can return to a clean home.
“Jackson was so attentive and took great pride in caring for Rocky. Also, our flight from London was cancelled and the day after this booking expired, he stayed the extra night and gave me such peace of mind I wasn’t scrambling t find a different person, family/friends to help. Can’t thank you enough for your great care. Also was very responsible while staying in our home.”
“Jordyn is wonderful! My dog loved her immediately and I could tell he was happy being left with her. She was great at communicating with me and sending me photos so I knew he was doing well while I was gone. She is very kind, trustworthy and flexible. She left my house very clean. I would gladly book her to watch my pup again!”
“I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would absolutely recommend them. They were incredibly attentive and made sure my dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks and lots of time outside. It was clear they genuinely cared about keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. Communication was also excellent—they were very responsive and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I never had to wonder how things were going because they consistently checked in and were quick to reply whenever I reached out.”
About: Leaving your pet in someone else’s care can feel stressful, and I understand how important it is to know they are safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you are away. I will treat your pet like one of my own and provide clear communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can feel confident and connected throughout their time with me! After years of caring for pets, I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, personality, routine, and comfort level. I take the time to get to know each pet, learn what makes them feel safe, and provide personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and at home. I have been loving and caring for dogs my entire life and have gained extensive hands-on experience through rescue and foster work. I currently foster for a rescue that specializes in senior dogs and small breeds, but I am also comfortable caring for larger dogs, including German Shepherds, Goldendoodles, and Labs. Additionally, I have experience working with shy dogs, energetic younger pups, senior pets, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I am also comfortable administering medication, providing slow and safe introductions, following detailed feeding and care routines, and taking calm, attentive leash walks. Whether your pet needs extra patience, plenty of playtime, quiet companionship, or a little reassurance, I will make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. You can expect dependable care, honest communication, thoughtful updates, and plenty of photos throughout my time with your pup! I’m currently spending the summer in Colorado for an internship that only requires me to be on-site about once or twice a week. I also work remotely for an animal rescue, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home most of the day. Because of that flexibility, your pet will receive plenty of attention throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I can provide frequent potty breaks, shorter or longer walks depending on your pet’s needs, playtime, enrichment activities, feeding, medication, and lots of cuddles and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, gentle walks, or relaxing on the couch, I have the time to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages and sized, including puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs. I believe in slow introductions, positive reinforcement, and maintaining each pet's normal routine to reduce stress. I'll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I also have experience administering medications and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may require attention.

“Brianna and Sam were awesome! They provided detailed updates and lots of pictures. They gave Atlas lots of attention, walks, and play time. Atlas seemed healthy and happy when we arrived home, and the house was clean. We will definitely book them again!”

“Alexandrea did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Finn, while we were away for the weekend! He was happy and relaxed when we returned, and our house looked great. We’ll definitely reach out to her again next time we need someone to watch Finn!!”
“Robyn was awesome, took wonderful care of Cammie and Cammie really enjoyed staying with her. She went way above and beyond while staying in my home.

Amaya was awesome, she bonded quickly with Miley, was very responsible and communicative, just the right amount of pictures and feedback. She took good care of the house while I was gone and was respectful. I will definitely have Amaya care for Miley again. Thank you.
Kate was absolutely amazing. We were on vacation for one week.She listened to our cares and concerns and kept them on their normal schedule. Took them for walks, made them feel at home with cuddles on the couch. We are very thankful for Kate and highly recommend her for extended stay sittings.
Chalee once again took excellent care of my pups. She went above and beyond, and my pups were very happy to hang out with her again. She played with them and took them for walks, and they love her! I highly recommend Chalee, especially if you need pet sitting at your house, she is respectful in my home and leaves it better than when I left.
Katelyn did a great job with our home and our two pups while we were away for the weekend. She made sure they were happy and comfortable. Our dogs are quite particular and very good judges of character so we could tell Katelyn was going to be great with them upon meeting and she did not disappoint. She kept us updated with pics and videos and how they were doing so we always felt like they were in good hands. We are excited to start booking Katelyn for more house sitting/dog sitting in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ponderosa East
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ponderosa East on Rover is $66.6 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 7,166 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ponderosa East. 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 Ponderosa East 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 Ponderosa East 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 Ponderosa East 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.

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.
