“Alyssa came over to meet our animals and also met our kids. She immediately clicked with everyone. Our son loved her as much as our dog did haha. She spent a lot of time with our dog nova and also gave our cat all the cuddles. Our dog has some history of anxiety and can be very hesitant with new people but she was very welcoming to Alyssa. We appreciate the time she spent with our animals while we were away. Will definitely book again!”
“We are so thankful we found Caylene! Our dogs love her & had the best time with her while we were away. It’s always comforting to have someone you can trust to care for your fur babies when you’re not home. The dogs can’t wait for their next visit!”
“Amber was very reliable and extremely kind and sweet to the animals. I enjoyed getting updates and pictures daily! I came home to very happy pets, so I know they were in good hands. Thank you Amber!”
“I was super nervous about using this service as it was our first time using. Halee was great, she house sat and was at our house when she said she was going to be. Our dog and cats were well taken care of. My cats aren’t usually fond of strangers and they even liked her. She kept in communication with me while gone and my house was the same as when I left it. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I love take walks, so walking you pet(s) would not be an issue. I also love interacting and be being there for them as well. I find that being there and understanding their queues and their needs is a very big thing. I would be able to look after your pet(s) after 8a.m and before 2p.m. This would be during the week day and sometimes the weekends as well. This varies by what eat pet(s) would need, but I know for my dogs wiping them after they walk is a big thing. I would also abide to any rules or regulations they would need and also treat them as my own as well.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was around 12 years old. Working in a school setting has also strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to handle different personalities, skills I bring into caring for every pet. I work for CASD, so my schedule is very consistent during the school year, with availability after 3:45 PM on weekdays and open weekends. During the summer, I have full availability, which means I can provide more flexible scheduling, extended stays, and extra attention for your pets throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always supervise interactions and can separate pets if needed. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of your pet’s routine, and I’ll follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress-free.
About: I have had animals all of my life, dogs, cats, birds, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and have taken care of goats, chickens, and more! I fostered around 20 dogs total for two years and a few years ago I started a business for myself in my neighborhood where I charged daily for watching peoples pets of all kind and within those years I have watched and cared for about 30 different animals :) I am unemployed right now and am looking to fill my time the best way, with animals! I do participate in theatre, such as acting and volunteering, so when I'm involved in a show my hours will differ, but i'm super flexible! I am not able to provide at home services at the moment since I live in a place that does not allow pets right onlw, but I have had two dogs of my own at my moms house as well as 3 cats. One of those being my own cat who I had to leave with her when I moved. I plan on one day saving enough money and moving out so we can live together again! I would care for your pet in your home exactly as I would treat mine, with restrictions or more based off of your preferences! At my moms house, the pets are allowed on furniture, have a routine for going outside and being fed, and are free roam in the house when away. However if they are crate trained, need exercise/play, or extra/less care, I will do just as you have instructed
About: I have worked at doggy daycare for over 5 years. I am able to give your fur child the time and attention that they crave or just to be there for them. I'm also available for other animals too. If you have need for sitting or care for them too. Just message me for more details I have two dogs one is a blood hound mix she is 7 years old and black lab who is 8 years old. They both get along well with other dogs and are really friendly. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to be able to come to your place or have your pet come and stay with me. I can either come to your home and care for your pet at your place or at my home. I have a large gated deck and a nice side yard. The dog park is just a block away which gives the dogs a nice place to run around and hang out with other dogs.
“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”
About: While I may not have formal experience, I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and truly understanding what it takes to keep them happy healthy, and comfortable. I am attentive to their needs, from feeding and walking to playtime. I also know to be patient and gentle whether I’m helping a playful puppy burn off energy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and loved. I’m currently home from college and have a very open flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, care, and love they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m available throughout the day and can easily adapt to your pets routine. I have spent years caring for my own dogs and truly love being around animals. At home, I walk them twice a day, make sure their bowls are clean, and always give them fresh food and water. I also brush them and wipe them down when it is raining to help keep them clean and comfortable. I do my best to keep a routine that makes them feel safe and happy. I’ll bring the same level of love and attention to your pets treating them like my own with lots of patience, playtime, and care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember and absolutely love it! Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their pups. I treat every dog like my own! I am currently an enrolled college student, but I have tons of free time to take care of your babies! A lot of my work is done online and will take up any opportunity. I also am enlisted in the Air Force National Guard and the first weekend of every month I will be occupied with drill! My dog, a german short-haired pointer named “Finn”, is always taken care of to the fullest! Fulfilling meals and lots of play time, and of course just time for cuddling and chilling out.
“Jenna was absolutely fabulous when watching our baby, Bella, for a weekend! First of all she’s so incredibly sweet and we knew Bella would be in loving hands. Jenna focused on doing all the things Bella loved: playing fetch in the yard, going to the dog park, long walks, and cuddles in bed! Despite rainy weather, Jenna still took the time to do all these things with her. At the end of day Jenna sent many pictures of Bella’s day and sent a sweet recap! It felt so good from miles away knowing Bella was having the time of her life (most likely not even missing mom & dad!) She even worked on commands with her, which is much appreciated!!! Jenna also left our home like she was never even there! Clean and bed sheets stripped for easy washing :) Thank you Jenna!!! If you want someone to love your dog like their own - book Jenna!”
“Isabel was OUTSTANDING as my overnight sitter. My two pups absolutely adore her and she went above and beyond in taking care of them while I was away on vacation. I would highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter, she is simply the BEST!”

About: I love dogs, cats, lizards, and everything in between! I’ve grown up with them my whole life and have taken care of them as well. I currently have 2 dogs myself, a lab and a poodle. I’ve done paid pet sitting a few times for family friends and neighbors, staying overnight at their homes and caring for their animals while they’re away.😊 I work part-time at a jewelry store, as well as substituting occasionally at a preschool during the day. I’m always available for overnight. Unfortunately my dogs would not like another dog or cat in my home, but I’m happy to go to yours! I’m comfortable with you having cameras to check on your fur babies and I can check in during the day, play with them, and sleepover with them 😊

“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Thomas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Thomas on Rover is $29.96 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 285 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Thomas. 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 Saint Thomas 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 Saint Thomas 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 Saint Thomas 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Thomas. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
