“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!”
“Jennifer is such a sweetheart. She communicated frequently, and followed the dogs’ medication instructions perfectly. She sent lots of pictures with her updates and the house was left in perfect shape.”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover. Growing up, I had three dogs that I cared for and loved like family. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy giving them the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’ve also helped watch my neighbor’s dog and loved spending time making sure they were happy and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy for me to provide reliable pet care, especially on weekday afternoons and weekends. I love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away! Every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. My goal is to help your pet feel relaxed and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Jenna was a wonderful sitter for both of the dogs. She provided a loving environment in our home and made the dogs feel very comfortable and well cared for. She provided nightly updates and plenty of pictures and went above and beyond to ensure the comfort of them.”
“Autumn was great! I was in a bad spot with a last minute trip and she was super responsive and communicative. My Aussie boys are super needy, energetic, and clingy; I didn't have any worries while I was gone.”
About: With almost 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine, caring for animals has been a huge part of my life and something I’m truly passionate about. My veterinary background has given me experience recognizing changes in behavior, understanding animal needs, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I make it my priority to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Your pets won’t just be another booking to me — they’ll be treated like family! ❤️ Caring for animals is a part of my everyday life! I work full-time at a veterinary hospital. At home, I have 3 dogs and 5 cats of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to maintain routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. Between my professional experience and caring for my own little crew, I’m very familiar with the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I strive to provide the same patience, compassion, and attentive care that I would want someone to give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! ❤️ My fur-babies are a huge part of my family, and their health, happiness, and wellbeing are always a priority. I make sure they receive daily attention, affection, proper nutrition, exercise, and a consistent routine tailored to their individual needs. I’m comfortable administering medications orally, topically, and by injection when prescribed, and I understand the importance of following instructions carefully and monitoring pets for changes in their behavior or overall well being. I believe in approaching each pet with patience, compassion, and an understanding of their unique personality. I treat every animal in my care with the same love, attentiveness, and respect that I give my own, because I know firsthand that pets are family! ❤️
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they’re away, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading behavior, whether a dog is high-energy, shy, or needs extra care. I’m also CPR certified and have experience working with children, which has taught me to stay calm, responsible, and attentive in situations where safety and trust matter most. I understand how important communication is, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I’m a full-time student and work full-time, but I keep a consistent and organized schedule to make sure I can give pets the attention they need. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, especially in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure while you’re away. I’m also CPR certified and experienced in handling responsibility through my work with children, which means I stay calm, aware, and prepared in situations where safety matters. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet and home are in good hands.
“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!”
“Alexandra was exceptional! She was willing to take on a 14 week old puppy that we have only had for 4 days. She was so great with the baby, and both older dogs. She was diligent with a puppy who is still learning potty training, and manners. The puppy did not have a single accident while Alexandra was here. Would absolutely book again when we have a need.”
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.
“Emma was wonderful. So caring and sweet. My dog was left in great hands. Emma did a 7 day stay in my home. She sent texts and pictures everyday. My dog was very comfortable and relaxed with her. She is a godsend. 10 star review. Thank you Emma”

“Hillary did a great job taking care of Sir Henry! She kept me updated throughout the visit, took him for a walk, played with him, and made sure he had plenty of attention and activity. When we arrived home, Sir Henry was happily napping, which told me he had a fun and busy afternoon. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. Overall, we were very happy with Hillary and would be happy to have her watch Sir Henry again!”
“Erin did an incredible job! We have an elder dog who is vision impaired and she did an amazing job keeping him company while we were out of the country. She administered his medications perfectly and kept him safe from harming himself. When we came home all of the pets were happy and clearly well taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough she is truly one of the best!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past 8 years, and I’m also a cat owner myself. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time but have gaps in my day where I can check on your fur babies and make sure they are thriving in their home. I can pick up on behavior quickly and would love to take care of them in an environment they know and already love. I would love to meet them ahead of time to establish trust.
“Crystal was so kind and so good to my fur babies and my home. She went above and beyond making sure my pups were comfortable and happy. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to ease my nerves and introduce myself and my pups to having a dog sitter!”

Steven did an excellent job looking after my little Yorkie. He kept me updated daily with pictures. I was always reassured so I was able to enjoy my trip without any guilt. I've never had a pet sitter become so attached to my dog. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using him in the future.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pungo is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $67 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 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 , 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.
