“Hailey did an amazing job watching my dogs for a few hours while I was at a concert. She was responsible, kind, and attentive, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys being around animals. I would absolutely trust Hailey with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for their pets while they were away. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to routines, safety, and each pet’s individual needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if it were my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and again after 6:00 p.m. I’m also fully available on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in their own home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, maintain routines, ensure doors and gates are secure, and keep pets in a calm and safe environment. I treat every home and pet with responsibility, care, and attention.
“Michael did a fantastic job taking care of my pets! He was reliable, punctual, and communicated really well throughout the entire booking. He made sure my dog was fed, took him on walks, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that he kept me informed as my cats slowly warmed up to him. It was clear he was patient with them and paid attention to each of my pets’ personalities and needs. Overall, I had a great experience and felt like my animals were in good hands. I would absolutely book with Michael again and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“Did a great job taking care of Luna (dog) and KB (rabbit) over the thanksgiving holidays. He was able to take Luna on a walk and get her out of the house which was perfect for her. Would re-book again in a heart beat for my next travel needs.”
About: Hi!👋🏼 I'm Jenna! Animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Rescue animals will always have a special place in my heart, but at the end of the day, I truly love all animals and treat every pet like family! When I moved away to college, I was alone for only 2 months, and realized I couldn't imagine life without a furry companion and that’s where Carrot came into my life and made me a FurMom! During college, I also fostered dogs and cats, helping them prepare for their forever homes. My older sister previously worked at both an Animal Hospital and PetSmart, and she's taught me so much about pet care, behavior, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I know every pet is unique, and I'll care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give Carrot. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with the same love and care I give my own. ** IMPORTANT * I will ask for your document verification of ALL UP TO DATE VACCINES and they MUST be on a flea, tick, and heart-worm preventive ** Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed). I also respect your home and your pet's unique preferences, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Per usual Brittany did an outstanding job taking care of our Gracie Ann. We are so happy to have found her on Rover. We highly recommend Brittany and are looking forward to her next visit taking care of our baby girl. Thanks so much Brittany and see you soon.”
About: I’ve had experience watching dogs for my entire life. I know how to give medicine, including injections, to dogs and cats. I am also certified in first aid and have completed a “Stop the Bleed” course. I’m available most days with a few days notice. I am able to come over and walk your dogs or just spend time with your pets. I can easily come to you and do whatever is needed. Walks, feedings, etc. I am very attentive and love to play with your pets.
“Devi was incredible! She took the best care of our senior pug who also has some medical issues. She stayed overnight with him and we came back to a happy, healthy pup. We are so thankful to have met her and will certainly be reaching out for all our dog sitting needs moving forward. ❤️”
“Jupiter decided to give our sitter Amanda a bit of a scare, but she handled it all right and took good care of our old man. I think Jupiter enjoyed making a new cuddle buddy. 😊”
“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”
“This is the second time Alexandra has sat for us. As usual our babies were happy and well taken care of! Alexandra is great with dogs of all ages. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah has been wonderful with our two dogs, one of which was recently ill and recovering from surgery. It’s been great having someone we can trust with them while we’re away! She always sends lots of pictures and communicates well :)”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of out 10+ Great Dane, Emma, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t ask for a better experience! Highly recommend”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Alyssia! She stayed overnight in our home for a week while we were on vacation in the OBX and took fantastic care of our three cats. She sent daily updates with funny photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind (and some good laughs). Alyssia also took excellent care of our home—bringing in the mail and packages, taking out the trash, and cleaning up after herself. Everything was spotless when we returned. Most importantly, our cats were calm, happy, and well-fed. In the past, they’ve seemed stressed or even lost weight while we were away, but not this time. They warmed up to her quickly! We’ve already rebooked her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you, Alyssia!”
About: I have always loved animals in general, but I still haven’t found the words to describe my love for dogs of all kinds. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets, from puppies to seniors, since I was a teen. I have experience caring for multiple animals while house sitting for a family friend with 7 dogs, 6 beagles and a chocolate lab! Although I am biased towards dogs, I do enjoy the company of cats and have experience caring for the cats of neighbors and friends. I currently work 2nd shift, so my mornings and early afternoons are free for midday walks and check ins! Most days I start at 3pm and get off between 9pm and 11pm. I will follow any specific instructions for the care of your furry friend! I’d love to work with you to make sure both you and your pet have a wonderful experience!
About: A little bit about my experience: I currently have four dogs: two German Shepherds, each about six years old, and two beagle mixes, each about ten years old. Additionally, we have four cats, ranging in age from thirteen years old to one year and four months old. I am working full time Monday - Friday 7:15am - 4:15pm. I am free to walk, check-in, or stay with your fur baby any time after 4:15pm on the weekdays or anytime on the weekends! If you have any questions about my availability please reach out! I will only do walks, check-ins, and house sitting if it is at the owner’s residence. This helps the pet not have to go through so much change in a small amount of time.

Erika was fantastic! First time hiring her. She was great with our pup. She was super responsive and made us feel really comfortable being away! She made pup feel comfortable too. She treated our house with respect and was very professional. Highly recommend!
Leila took such wonderful care of both my dog Matteo and my cat Diesel while I was away. Matteo immediately loved her, and she made sure he got plenty of attention and exercise. What really impressed me, though, was how she connected with Diesel. He’s extremely shy and almost never comes out when new people are around—but somehow Leila won him over! By the end of the visit, he was not only comfortable but eating right out of her hand. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing both of my pets were happy, safe, and cared for like family. Leila sent thoughtful updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pungo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pungo on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,100 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pungo. 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 Pungo 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 Pungo 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 Pungo 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% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
