About: I am currently going to school to becoming a veterinary technician, I have cared for dogs for more than 3 years. If anything happens, even if thats a good thing like catching a ball, I will be sending you pictures of your pup and staying uo with the communication!! I also believe it is important when I am there for the pups/animals to get adequate play time, so if that means they need to run for 30 minutes then I will stay and run with them! I am currently attending school to become a veterinary technician, so sometimes during the week days its hard for me to swing by during the day for a few hours but If I can I will swing in for 30 minutes and play with the pups!! I also have a part time job at my church which is every sunday morning until 12:30pm and every Wednesday night until 8pm In your home if you require me to crate them when I leave I will. I am very good with listening to how their owners treat the pups/animals when someone is not home. I prioritize keeping their routine as normal as I can. So if that means during the day they watch a TV show, then I will leave the TV on for them and let them watch their show. If that means 5 walks throughout the day, then I will do that as well. Its all about making the pet feel comfortable, nothing else.
“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!”
“Wow! So happy we had these guys come and watch our four cats! They are amazing! Definitely a dream team! They are so organized and conscientious and the care of your pets. We had a lot of pictures and were able to relax and enjoy our time away so we didn’t have to worry about our home or pets. It’s so nice to have sitters that treat your pets like you treat your pets. We are definitely having them house sit and pet sit from now on. Thank you so much guys!”
“Ashlee took great care of our older dogs, she adjusted to their routine well (including giving medications) and kept me updated daily. I’d recommend her for your fur babies too!”
“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.”
“Rebecca is awesome!! We have three large dogs and they were well taken care of with lots of play time while we were away for a few days. Rebecca is communicative and sends lots of pictures with details 💕 Excellent level of care. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Kiera was amazing! We had a mixup with our booking and she happily made it right for us, which we greatly appreciated! She took such great care of our pups and continually sent us videos and pictures! She’s the absolute best!”
“Bryce was amazing with our babies!! She kept me very well updated and our house was spotless when we got home. Our babies were well loved and we will definitely use her services again”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, which includes dogs, cats, and bigger animas. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding and check-ins, always making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work full-time during the day, but I’m able to spend my mornings, evenings, and nights giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I’m available 7 days a week and can commit to longer stays, making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m open to taking dogs on care rides and to dog parks for extra fun and exercise, if that’s something you’d like. Also once I have my own home—hopefully this summer—I’ll be happy to offer a comfortable space where pets can stay with me if they’re comfortable in a new environment. I do have a very friendly, playful dog as well who loves meeting new friends, so your pup can enjoy some social time if they’re comfortable with that.
“Maddie was fantastic!! Took the time to meet our animals in advance, which was great for our nervous pup. Communicated very well and provided numerous updates throughout her stay. House was perfectly clean and animals very happy and healthy when we returned home. Highly recommend Maddie!”
“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.”
“Ana was fantastic! We needed a dog sitter at the last minute, and she was able to come by for a quick meet-and-greet on short notice. While we were away, she sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Blyth made my trip out of town a dream come true for my dog and me! The meet and greet was great and allowed time to check out the property and get a feel for my dog’s behaviors and needs, and Blyth was super respectful of my home and Dulce’s schedule. She also has great experience and great energy with dogs. Blyth sent great photos and updates as well, which really was excellent for peace of mind while I was in an out of cell coverage. Would love to work with Blyth again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Lauryn provided for Bulka and Stalin while I was away. She truly went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and even doing thoughtful little things I didn’t expect. She followed every single detail I left, and it was clear the dogs loved her from the start. It was such a great experience and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommended!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Elisabeth was great with our two boys. She took them on walks each day and hung out with them in the backyard. One of our boys got pretty sick while she was watching them and she made sure he was okay and picked up a bit after his accidents. Not an ideal situation but she handled it well. Thank you, Elisabeth!”
“Ciara watched our small 2 yr old golden doodles for a few days and nights. She is sweet, caring, bubbly, patient, and you can see that she loves dogs. They absolutely loved her which made us feel secure that our two pups were in good hands while we were out of the state for a family funeral. We left her plenty of puppy instructions and seemed she followed them. She sent photos of our fur babies during our time away. She definitely took great care of them. We would definitely use her again for puppy sitting.”

I booked Hayvin for an overnight boarding at my home, and she took wonderful care of my two cats and two dogs. She was incredibly sweet, communicated very well throughout the stay, and kept me updated regularly, which gave me great peace of mind. My dogs absolutely loved her! I would definitely recommend Hayvin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ponderosa Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ponderosa Park on Rover is $46.4 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 5,435 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ponderosa Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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.

- 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.
