“Laura stayed with our 5 year old sheepadoodle, Skyler, who we brought with us on a wedding vacation in the mountains. Since the home was unfamiliar to our pup, we didn’t want her staying by herself while we attended wedding events. Laura was very responsive, on time, and took great care of our girl and the home while we were away. We are so thankful we got to bring Sky on our trip and still got to attend wedding events.”
“Anna was amazing with our cat and home. We are so thankful for her care and communication. Her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed was a lifesaver.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different kinds of animals. Since that time, I’ve rescued a few cats and dogs with mental and physical issues. I’ve learned that each animal has their own personality and needs and am happy to provide what they need. I have a flexible schedule. I am able to give your pet the time they need. Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, or some cuddles. I am able to follow instructions. I understand how important it is to keep your pet on a routine, especially when you are not home.
“It was wonderful to have Kyle take care of Stormie, we knew when we got home & Stormie was so happy that Kyle had done a great job. Kyle is great at communicating and following care instructions for Stormie. He is also a very compassionate care giver and it shows when he meets your pet. When Kyle would leave for an errand he would let us know and always checked in during the day to let us know that everything was fine. Stormie and I would definitely hire Kyle again”
“Carissa was a lovely dog/house sitter who stayed in communication our entire trip! She was wonderful with our two large dogs and left our house very clean. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with high energy Aussies since I was a kid. From the moment I moved to a pet friendly home and schedule I started on the Aussie pack I have now. I have trained two dogs from puppies and rescued two from unfortunate situations. Therefore, I understand and can assist in potty and leash training, socialization, or a good old fashioned game of fetch. I’ve always loved working with dogs and seeing the joy they get from just being with you. In college I often volunteered with animal shelters to assist in socializing dogs. While I was active duty military I relied on my dog sitter to ensure my pups were getting all of their energy out and getting all the love with my unpredictable schedule. Therefore, I know how important it is to have someone who you can trust with your pups. I will strive to treat your fur babies just like my own because they’re our family! I recently retired from active duty military and am taking some much needed down time with my 4 dogs. I am available Monday-Saturday and would love to fit your fur babies into the routine! I have a large fenced backyard, I believe in positive reinforcement, and have 4 excited friendly pups who would love to share their space and toys with any new friends that want to play!
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and have always loved loving on them. I'm a mom of two pups and I pet sit for friends and family regularly so I have plenty of references to go around! I have a very flexible schedule so you can trust that I will be able to make taking care of your pet the highest priority every single time! Taking care of your pet is a privilege. I know just how precious they are to us and treat them all as if they were my own. With love, and patience!
“Chloe was so great. She put our mind at ease while we were gone for the weekend. She followed our instructions perfectly and our house was exactly as we left it. Our dog was well taken care of. We will be booking her again in the future.”
“I am so grateful for Aubrey’s attentive care to our dogs and our house during our trip. She is a professional who goes above and beyond expectations, and the dogs absolutely love her. We wish we had met her sooner, and I am certain the dogs feel the same way! Many thanks to her for giving us complete peace of mind during our trip!”
“Kerstin had a nice overnight stay with Sadie. The house was immaculate when I returned home, and Sadie was a happy girl. I know she had lots of attention and snuggles! I would definitely use Kerstin again.”
“All I know is that our female Lab, Hazelnut, seemed a bit mopey after we got home. We think she just missed Anna. Makes sense. Anna took the same kind of care for our two Labs that we would have taken ourselves. She went out of the way to take them to their regular parks for off leash walks and playtime. Bodie had all his required meds - on time (3X/day). And Anna's communication was spot on. We were clear across the country, but felt very comfortable that our dogs were well taken care of. If Anna is avail;able when we need a sitter, we'll book her again, for sure.”
“We had a few mishaps such as my dog and whatnot. HOWEVER Amaya did take care of them and play with them. She kept my home very neat it’s almost as if no one was here! She did follow all instructions and communicated with me when she felt as if something was off with my dog. Would book with amaya again.”
About: I've taken care of multiple rescue bunnies since I was 15 and gained experience looking after pregnant rabbits and newborn litters. In addition to rabbits, I also have a golden retriever named Bluey, who I've had fun training and taking care of since she was a puppy. I am also a college student majoring in Animal & Veterinary Sciences and am currently working at a veterinary clinic! Pet care fits into my daily routine and weekly routine because I already take care of my bunnies daily. Additionally, I aspire to become a veterinarian, therefore I hope to interact with and care for animals on a daily basis. I care for pets in my client's homes in a variety of ways. This can include feeding them, taking care of litter and waste disposal, grooming them, or just playing and spending time with your furry companions! My grooming services can range from bathing to brushing their fur and nail trimming. My purpose is to ensure that your furry loved ones are comfortable in their home and still feels loved and happy while you are away!
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of dogs/cats for about 3 years now. I have kitty’s of my own so I know how important it is to get trustworthy, quality, and loving care when in need. I can assure to provide all that and keeping your home tidy as well:) I currently work full time but my weekdays I am off by 5pm and Tuesdays and Sundays I am free. Thursdays I’m usually off by 3-5 unless working a double as well as Fridays and Saturdays depending on scheduling I may work until 10pm. In a clients home, I will always do light housekeeping and more if requested. I keep my spaces neat and tidy. I will keep pets on schedule the best I can with work and provide play time always.
“Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!”
“Kara was wonderful! She was willing to come sit with our baby Archer when we asked her last minute and on a holiday. We appreciate her kindness and the quality of care that she gave Archer.”
About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.
About: I’ve always loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a few of my own growing up and I have also volunteered at an animal shelter years ago and I really enjoyed being taking care of all the animals! Even though I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, I would love to take care of yours! I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling. I’m able to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the week for your fur babies. I care for pets in their home where they feel most comfortable, sticking to their routine, giving lots of attention, and treating both pets and the home with respect!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pumpkintown is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $80 per night.

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 Pumpkintown 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 Pumpkintown 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 Pumpkintown 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.
