“Brittany was awesome for us and our two pups (one of whom is a bit slow to warm up to new people). Brittany was able to take care of our dogs exactly how they’re used to and was very communicative with us while we were away with messages and pictures! She even toughed out a big snowfall and made sure our pups were all set throughout it. Brittany treated our home with great respect and left things very neat, clean, and tidy. We will definitely be calling her when we need a sitter next!”
“Maria was so sweet and so flexible when it came to my babies. I have a lot of issues finding someone to watch both of my babies, as some people are nervous because they are pits. Maria treated my two girls as her own. My house was left spotless and she even left the cutest note about her stay with them. I definitely recommend her.”
“John is dependable, shows up on time, every time! He loves our kids as if they were his own, takes great care to communicate any problems, and makes us feel comfortable in our choice to use him as our house/ pet sitter! We highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Elizabeth! She stayed at our home for a week with our dog and took amazing care of everything. Super knowledgeable, communicative, and kept our place very clean. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend!”
“Chloe did a great job watching my dog. He was fine at first but later got a little defensive and uneasy. She handled it really well, figured out how to work with him, and kept him comfortable. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates and check-ins they gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and reliable sitter”
“Kenzie did a great job watching our two pups at our house while we were away! She was very attentive and her communication was great. We came home to very happy dogs! We already have her booked again for a future vacation. Highly recommend!”
“One of the best pet sitting experiences we’ve ever had! He was so accommodating and kept us updated with pictures and videos! Boss made a new friend for sure and we will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Orlando always takes great care of my dog and my house. He is responsive and sends pictures to let Me know how my boy is doing. He goes the extra mile and strips the bed before leaving I definitely recommend him”
“Fate did awesome with my babies, she helped ensure that we were at ease with their care and sent us pictures daily. Our babies were looked at with care and we had no issues! Highly recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter or pet care.”
“Brittany was great with our 3 dogs and very communicative, we received lots of updates and pictures while we were out of town. Within a week’s notice she was able to come meet them and agree to watch them for the weekend. We would book her again & highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Allana did great with my puppy! She was super flexible with what we needed and made sure to be attentive with my puppy both inside the house and when she took him on walks. He was comfortable enough to eat, sleep, and play with her! We came back to a puppy who was out for the rest of the night! It can be really hard to leave your puppy with someone, especially in your own home, (my puppy is only 4 months) but allana did a great job and I’d hire her again.”
“Courtney was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Max, followed all his care instructions, and provided photos and updates regularly. She also left my apartment spotless and was an extremely respectful house guest.”
“Lilian was an amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I highly recommend Lilian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Riley did a wonderful job! Dory loved her & she was so responsive to his needs. Dory is very scared of thunder storms and Riley helped him through it. She also sent pictures to keep us updated.”
About: My background in pet sitting comes from my own dogs which I have had my whole life, and pets of friends and family. I have two years of experience doing in-home visits for dogs, cats, and other animals in my local community. In the last year I have also gained experience dog walking. I have the knowledge and familiarity to take care of animals of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to swing by and take care of your furry friend! I offer in home visits, short overnight stays, and dog walking. Through in home visits, I will provide the loving and caring company your pet needs while you're away. I can ensure reliable, safe, and fun experiences tailored to your dog's needs.

“Andrea was wonderful! She took such good care of my boys! She was always responsive when I messaged and her she sent me cute photos that helped ease my mind about leaving my boys! I recommend her to anyone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pumpkin Center
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!
Fabulous sitter for my four fur babies. She was keenly in tune with their stress levels, provided ample walks, and handled an unexpected encounter with two aggressive dogs with professionalism. She kept calm, de-escalated the incident, assessed all dogs for injuries (luckily, no one was injured), and provided care and comfort to help my two dogs de-stress. I highly recommend Andie to provide care to your fur babies. I will be using her services often.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pumpkin Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pumpkin Center on Rover is $31.08 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 315 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pumpkin Center. 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 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 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.
