“Jinah is the best! This was the first time I have ever had to leave my pets with anyone that’s not family and I was very nervous especially having a 4 month old puppy. I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about, Jinah took such great care of them! She sent lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. I would rebook with Jinah anytime, highly recommend!”
“Gina was wonderful with our new puppy for a weekend home stay. She was courteous, professional, and provided multiple updates. Very thoughtful and treated our house with respect. We can’t wait to book Gina again!”
“Excellent Experience with Blake. She pet sit my 2 dogs over Thanksgiving and did a wonderful job taking care of the boys and the house. She kept us informed of how they were doing and kept the routine they are used to so there was minimal stress. One of my dogs is older and blind and she did a great job of keeping him feeling safe and happy. We returned to happy dogs and a super clean house. We highly recommend Blake based on this experience. We will absolutely use her again when we need to go out of town without the dogs!”
“Alex went above and beyond on his first overnight with our cat TK. After an initial meeting, he asked questions to be sure he understood our cat and our house. On his visit he sent oodles of photos, our 9-yr-old TK looking completely relaxed and having fun. We returned to a happy, calm and collected cat and our house perfectly taken care of. We've already booked Alex for 2 more chunks of time later this month. Responsive, understanding, conscientious. Oh--and he's so upbeat. So glad to have him in our TK family now.”
“We are so happy that we found Ashley. She was wonderful and took such good care of our two cats, two dogs (one with high anxiety) and chatty cockatiel. We received daily updates with pictures and were able to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. We highly recommend Ashley and we hope she wants to come back again.”
“Jesse did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Roxy and Klaus. He set up a meet & greet time with us well in advance of our trip. He asked detailed questions prior to our trip and communicated very well. Not only did he take care of our doggo's, he was mindful about keeping the house clean and attentive to details. Jesse checked in with us, sent us a few pictures and asked questions when they came up. The dogs were quite happy and our neighbors were too. Jesse even set up a scent hunt in the back yard to keep Roxy and Klaus happy and to tire them out. We highly recommend Jesse to watch over your pets and home. Cheers!”
“Thad was prompt, communicative, and great with my dog. He kept the house in good shape and watered the garden as instructed. He is very personable. I enjoyed meeting him and will call him again.”
About: I have been around pets since a baby, I love all animals and am patient and loving. I recently took care of two litters of puppies in Mexico and have been assisting my local town there with vaccinating and spaying pups I am currently unemployed and would love the chance to take care of a furry friend! I have a car and am happy to take care of and hangout with a new friend I can bring a crate if necessary, I have experience walking pups on leashes and feel comfortable with that. I have been training pups recently and am happy to work with yours!
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Toni did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our pup while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and sent detailed, thoughtful updates that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly felt the whole time that our pup was safe, loved, and in very capable hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless apartment, everything looked amazing. We’re so grateful for her care and attention and would gladly work with her again. Highly recommended!”
“There aren't enough words to express how thankful we are to have found Francesco. He was incredible with our dog Betty. He was very good about updates and really intuitive in his interactions with her. She's really slow to warm to people and was calm with him very quickly. Our home and Betty seem to be in better shape than when we left. We will be sure to recommend him to anyone in need and will be booking with him again in the near future. Thank you again, Paul and Krystal”
“We absolutely loved having Michelle stay with our pups! She showered our dogs with so much love, snuggles, and attention—exactly what we were hoping for. We came home to happy, relaxed pups and the house just as we left it. Communication was great throughout, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Kyline was fantastic for our house and kitty. Super upfront about work schedule. She sent us numerous photos and updates with and without prompting. Left the house clean, and took care of everything we asked. Highly recommend.”
“Gianna was great watching my sometimes energetic German Shepherd! She provided timely, consistent communication and was just all around great to deal with. Would recommend her!”
About: Animals have been a part of our family since before I could remember. As a little girl, my mother worked in the veterinary industry and humane society, so we always had fuzzy friends in and out of our home - and sometimes they became permanent residents of our home. Pets and humans have a unique relationship and I believe it's important to nurture the bond we share with them. I would love to provide a loving experience to your pet and give them the company they need while you are away. I have experience with medication administration and special dietary needs, an for those active dogs who enjoy the company of others, I am happy to take them to the beach or the local dog park. I am a student at the SRJC, and currently have an open schedule. My family has two cats and one dog, which I am very involved in caring for. Making sure their needs are met has always been a normal part of our daily lives. Caring for pets in your home also means making sure that their safety is a priority. I am always careful to make sure that your home is secure in the way that you like. I am cautious of possible environmental hazards for pets young and old, and those who are out and about are always secured on/in a leash, harness, or carrier. I am also able take your pet to the vet if the need ever arises.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Stony Point is $75

Blake is a top tier pet sitter. She went above and beyond to care for our animals and home. When she showed up for the meet n greet taking notes I knew we were in great hands. Upon return animals were so happy and relaxed, the house and garden was cared for beyond asking, she truly is a gem! Thank youuuu!!
We chose Jill to watch our 2 dogs; a 5 1/2 yo Goldendoodle and a 4 yo 7 lb Yorkie. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the loving care she gave our dogs for the 5 days we were out of town for a wedding. Jill really went the extra mile by coming by prior to the sit in order to get oriented to our home and dog’s routines. In addition, she was open to arranging a meeting between our 2 dogs and her very calm Aussiedoodle; our dogs got along great and loved the extra socialization with another pup. Jill allowed us to go on our trip feeling confident our dogs were in good hands and we came home to find 2 very happy dogs. Thank you Jill! We hope you consider sitting for us again.
Georgia was an amazing house sitter. She took very good care of my 3 month old puppy. Including making him meals and giving him medicine. She was very responsive and communicated well and kept me informed of how he was doing over the weekend. She even started load of laundry!
Brooke did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She reached out everyday to let me know that everything was good and the animals were happy. She also left our house really clean as if no one was ever there. I highly recommend her and will be using her again to sit for us!
What an amazing experience for myself but mainly for my pup Emma. I was in need for a house sitter for 4 nights and Bella was amazing. Respectful, communicative and great with my pup. She went above and beyond and was truly a pleasure. I highly recommend her and will definitely be contacting her again! Thank you Bella

FAQs for House Sitting - Stony Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stony Point. 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 Stony Point 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 Stony Point 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 Stony Point 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
