“Chane was great with my dogs as always they were happy to see him. He took really good care of the house in really good care of the dogs. I am always grateful when I have him watch my dogs highly recommend him.”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She really loves dogs and is very knowledgable about many breeds. My fur babies we very calm and happy when I came home, it was like I was never gone. I actually think they like Elizabeth better than me!”
“Jacob was absolutely wonderful with my boys! He did a long overnight stay and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time. He paid close attention to all of the important details and took such great care of my dogs. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and honestly, the house barely looked like anyone had even been there! Jacob was so respectful of my home and did an amazing job cleaning up after himself (I’ve had a lot of sitters not clean up before leaving). He’s such a nice guy, clearly great with dogs, and someone I felt completely comfortable trusting with my boys and my home. I will absolutely use Jacob time and time again, and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, and caring dog sitter. He was fantastic!”
“Madison is the BEST ! She is reliable and friendly and kind and quickly won Palmer's heart and even got my scaredy cat to come out and play. You should definitely ask her to sit for you - just not the days when I need her :-)”
About: I’m an animal lover with 7 years of experience working with animals, and I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable care for every pet. I’m Pet CPR and First Aid certified and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, and personalities, including high-energy pets and those who need a little extra patience. Whether you need pet sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, or someone to keep your pets company, I’ll treat your furry family like my own! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My schedule through out the week is very open to take care and provide love to all of your fur baby’s! Whenever you need i’m available. I have a lot of experience with different types of harnesses, leashes, and collars. I have many years of experience with animal body language, different breeds and ages. If your dog needs to be crated that won’t be an issue.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide a personalized and loving experience that ensures your furry family feels safe and cherished while you’re away. I take the time to get to know your pet’s unique needs and routines, offering customized care that includes feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. With regular updates, photos, and videos, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether it’s extra cuddles, engaging play, or attention to special instructions, I treat every pet as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less than love and trust. As a college student studying legal studies online, my schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to pet sitting. With no strict class hours, I’m available almost all the time to care for your pets, whether it’s during the day or overnight. I absolutely love dogs and have a big German Shepherd of my own, so I understand the care and attention they need. I’m happy to offer personalized care that fits your pet’s routine, ensuring they get the love, attention, and exercise they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routine and providing a safe, comfortable environment. For overnight pet sitting, I stay with your pet, offering companionship, regular potty breaks, and plenty of affection to ensure they feel secure. During walks, I make sure your pet gets the exercise they need while keeping them safe and engaged. I also provide potty breaks throughout the day, ensuring your pet’s comfort and well-being. I’m committed to offering personalized care, so your pet feels loved and attended to, just like they would at home.
About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pumpkin Center
Maria is absolutely amazing!!! ❤️ She took such incredible care of my anxious pup while she was sick, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She made sure she got all her medications, kept me updated with pictures about every hour, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. This was the first trip I’ve taken where my dog didn’t experience anxiety, which says so much about how comfortable and loved Maria made her feel! 🐾 I will absolutely be booking with Maria again instead of boarding. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, attentive, and treats your dog like their own, Maria is the BEST! I can’t recommend her enough! ❤️
She was sooo amazing with my dogs. I was little worried to leave them with a sitter since I had previously had a bad experience with one. But she eased all my worries and was so patient and loving towards my dogs!! She communicated everything and also took very good care of my home! I will 100% be booking with her again ❤️
Hailey is so wonderful! She kept me updated with messages and pictures the whole time, and I could tell my dogs really love and trust her. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter, and she blew me away! So happy to have found someone I can trust my cherished fur babies with.
I can’t speak highly enough on how wonderful Payton is! She took such great care of our baby girl. She communicated the entire time, gave constant updates and lots of pics! I could see how comfortable, safe and loved our dog was. She is an amazing care giver and would definitely use her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pumpkin Center is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $64 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Pumpkin Center 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 Pumpkin Center 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 Pumpkin Center 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
