“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.”
“Alyssa was very attentive. She did 3 overnights. She kept in touch and sent a few pics. She kept the house very tidy as well. Beachnut loved her time with Alyssa. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kierstynn was nothing but amazing to our animals. She stayed in our home and everything was smooth from start to finish. She kept us updated throughout her stay and treated our home with respect. She gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was there caring for our animals and our home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I grew up with a house full of animals, both dogs and cats and still can’t get enough! I even run my dogs Instagram account and make her custom Christmas cards to send to her furry friends each year. I take animal care very seriously and treat other peoples pets as if they are my own (and mine are spoiled). I am currently dog mom to Douglas my nine year old Great Pyrenees! I have experience with blind and deaf dogs that require special care as well as dogs that need special attention for medications and the like. I have also shadowed therapy dog trainers for a period of time as part of a research project for school! love exercise and playing and can keep up with any breed or energy level I have a high patience level so i'm especially good with senior dogs or dogs with special needs/anxiety issues that require more help with their day to day activities. Please note I am unavailable for drop ins/walks after 7pm at this time. I am available most days morning, noon, and night. I’ve watched dogs over Christmas vacations both in my home or doing multiple drop ins at their home! I am very safety oriented I would never put someone’s pet in a position I wouldn’t want my pet in. Walks are always in designated areas appropriate for animals and we avoid busy roads and potential risks such as unleaded dogs which may pose a danger.
“Meghan was an absolute gem! She was able to work on the fly, completely last minute, as our regular dog sitter cancelled last minute. She was so easy to communicate with, and she took incredible care of our 2 dogs. I really appreciated the updates and I had complete peace of mind on our weekend trip that our dogs were in good hands. I absolutely saved her information for next time!”
“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”
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.

“Laura was an absolute delight to work with! My dog instantly loved her and even whined a little bit after she left our house at the end of our meet and greet, which she rarely does with anyone except my husband and I. I'm a very anxious person in general, and most of that anxiety is centered around my dog's well-being; Laura was able to make some of that anxiety go away and that means the world to me. My dog had a wonderful, chill night with Laura caring for her at my house! She was extremely attentive to notes that I left regarding my dog's unique feeding routine and as-needed medication. Laura also somehow found a way to get my dog to pose for photos (my dog almost never sits still enough to let me take pictures of her 😂) and sent us many pictures of her throughout our time away from home! I would recommend Laura to anyone, especially those with dogs who have food/medication/health concerns! We will definitely be booking with her again if anything comes up! 😊”
About: I have been pet sitting family and friends dogs since I was little. I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years. My passion is animals! I currently work part time and have free availability for the most part! I’m willing to drop in and let your pets out our play with them, even walk them if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and have 2 cats currently, I would keep them separated if there was any issues. There are two rooms in my house so space is not an issue.
About: I love caring for dogs and cats and creating fun enrichment treats for them. I have gained experience with different animal behaviors. Since I previously worked at Petsmart, I am very knowledgeable in pet products such as foods, toys, etc. If I get the chance to take care of your fur baby or babies, I will treat them as if they are my own :) I am available all days of the week at any time due to working at home and also being a college student. I have 2 dogs of my own and we do many fun things together on a daily basis such as walking on natural trails, going to the beach, food enrichment ideas, and more. I also have 2 cats and currently 2 foster kitties. I am open to taking care of your fur babies 7 days a week (even on holidays). I also have base access. I am all about anything for pets! I will make sure everything stays clean including all surfaces, bowls, crates, etc. If you have a set schedule for your pet(s), I will ensure to follow it. I will always send you pictures and/or videos of your fur baby every day and update you with what we do throughout the day.

Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience with pets of all kinds, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! For in home care: I work Monday-Friday 9am-4pm. I will be more than happy to stay with your pets at home as long as they will be okay for that time period. In my home all of my animals are inside animals.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pumpkin Center is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $66 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pumpkin Center. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
