“Jessica exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! We loved having her watch our pups. As an experienced dog owner herself, she provided exceptional care for our dogs. Throughout her stay, she kept us well-informed with regular updates on how our dogs were doing each day. We loved that! She took them on neighborhood walks, treated them to snacks, and played with them with their favorite toys. She fulfilled every request we made but consistently went above and beyond our expectations. She earned our highest rating, and we would recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable pet sitter or dog walker.”
“Jessica and Michael are so wonderful! I felt at peace when we were away knowing she would take great care of our dog. She took thorough notes when we walked her through the routine and provided updates as we wanted them. You can tell she really loves animals and cares about them while you’re away. Definitely will be using them again!”
“Jason was super patient with our rescue dog who was pretty freaked out by our being gone. Persistence paid off and they became buddies. We appreciate knowing he was in good hands.”
“Maycee took great care of Jupiter. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Maycee. That told me how good she is with dogs. She sent me the cutest pictures of him while we were gone. I will definitely be using Maycee again.”
“Keonia went above and beyond for me during my last trip. Even when my flight home was delayed, she offered to go back to my house until I got home. Will definately use her again.”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“I recently had Loren take care of my dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. I received regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. My dog seemed to have a great time and was well taken care of. I highly recommend Loren for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Hannah stayed with our dogs while we went on a trip and took amazing care of our dogs & home. She sent loads of pictures which I super appreciated. Also very impressed she can walk all three of my dogs together.”
“Thomas provided excellent care for our Bella while we were away which gave us such peace of mind. He’s caring, communicative, timely and so much more. We would recommend him 100% every time!”
“So happy I found Carrie! She is so reliable and great at sending updates and pictures. Also Javi loves and trusts her. We have already booked her for our next few times away. It’s so nice to not have to worry about Javi while we are away.”
“Ion was prompt and attentive to detail. He stayed with our Lou and made sure he received lots of attention and his walks. He is polite and friendly and left our house clean. We were very happy with the care Ion gave Louie and will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone.”
“Elisabeth was an awesome sitter for Murphy. He loved all the extra attention he received. Elisabeth was easy to work with and followed all the instructions for the house and Murphy’s care. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”
“Stephany was great!! I will be using her for all of my needs for diesel in the future. She communicated even through my anxiety & made sure I knew she was there with my baby & even sent pictures!!”
“Angie was fantastic! We have two small dogs (8lbs and 14lbs) She sent us regular updates and photos, was very responsible and responsive. She loved our dogs like they were hers. She made the effort to walk both dogs which they really love. She was only away from the house once a day and only for a maximum of about 2or 3 hours, which is very important to us. During her stay, the smaller and older dog had digestive issues and needed to go outside several times during the night. Angie willingly administered some medication that we had on hand which thankfully resolved the issue. She spent extra time snuggling with the little one and did not leave her that day, which was very special. Even through loss of sleep during those nights her attitude was always positive and upbeat. Her only concern was for our little dog and reassuring us our little girl would be fine. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“We had Emily watch our 3 huskies at our house, and that’s not always an easy task. But she did a great job- they were well cared for and they had a great time. Will definitely reach out again in the future!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ponderosa East
The service Kate provided went so far above and beyond expectations, offering the kind of complete peace of mind that truly allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Our pets received exceptional, attentive care, backed by consistent updates and proactive oversight that kept us is at ease. Beyond outstanding pet care, our home was maintained to an immaculate standard. Returning to a flawlessly kept home made our transition back more seamless and stress-free. To our delight, Kate left thoughtful, unexpected touches of hospitality prepared for our arrival that exceeded anything we could have anticipated. This level of dedication is truly rare, and the quality of care Kate provided was incredible.
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 7,160 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.
