“Melissa was great! This was our second time using her and we will definitely use her again! Definitely recommend her to come into your home and dog sit. She is wonderful with our puppy and Sassy loves her!”
“Kathy is simply the best!!! I can tell from the photos she sent during our trip that our Critters absolutely adored her based on the smiles on their sweet faces and we agree that she is a rare gem! Not only did she take pawfect care of our Pack, our Nest was nicely cared for as well!! I especially appreciate that she is able to spend so much time with the Critters as Critter Sitting is her main gig! Highly recommend! We’ve already booked future dates and are all looking forward to seeing Kathy again! 🐾🐾💚”
“Once again, Carissa has done a fantastic job with our home and pets! Definitely a 5 star sitter! Always so helpful and kind, and our pets just love her! Thank you so much, and we will see you again soon!”
“Kristina was outstanding. We have 3 dogs & 2 cats that she sat for, for over a week. She kept me up to date with pictures and notes every single day. She took out my garbage, brought up the bins, brought in mail,& left a detailed note when we returned about each pet. I think they’re all going to miss her, so I’m definitely hiring her again. It’s a great feeling to know someone is loving on your pet while you’re away, & I had total peace of mind my entire vacation thanks to Kristina.”
About: I have worked with many different dogs including dogs who require medication, dogs with anxiety, dogs who are slow to warm up to people and dogs with energetic personalities. I also work very well with cats and have a lot of experience caring for both indoor and outdoor cats. My family has owned pets ever since I was a kid so I have grown up with animals and am very comfortable around them. As an entrepreneur I have a very open schedule. I am available all times of day on weekdays and frequently have availability for weekends. I have some availability for Holliday’s. I closely follow the owners instructions for how they want their house and pets treated while I’m there. If you do not have a yard to let your pets roam free in I am able to take them on walks as often as needed. I follow feeding instructions and I am extra careful to make sure that dogs with special diets get what is needed and don’t receive what they can’t have.
“Victoria did a great job with our puppy. It was our first time using rover and first time leaving our puppy alone for a few hours. She sent photos and kept us updated throughout the day.”
“This was my first time leaving my cats, and I was so relieved to find Mckenzie. So grateful to her for her awesome cat sitting! She was extremely friendly and eager to bond with my cats to make them as comfortable as possible while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really enjoyed. She also left the house spotless. Thanks again McKenzie, I’m sure we will be contacting you again!”
“All I can say is thank you, Denise! You treated our two pups like your own. We appreciated everything you did to make them feel like we never left for vacation. Our pups were happy you were able to dog sit them. They said you are welcome back anytime lol. Thank you so so so so much!! 😊”
“Kyla was amazing. she took very good care of my dog while I was away. she always updated me with photos daily and is very sweet and kind. Definitely will always use her to house sit when im gone. she is the best! my pup was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed her too!”
“10/10! Bonnie is truly a dog lover and a professional! I completely forgot to take out the trash on trash day as I was in a rush for travel... completely unprompted she noticed it and took it out to the street! She organized my mail, washed the sheets she slept on....all on top of spoiling Thunder with going to the parks, outdoor mall, car rides and treats! I loved all the updates she provided throughout the visit of thunder. Will definitely use Bonnie again!”
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.
About: I love caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats. I’m skilled in giving medications, as I care for my own senior dog. I can maintain special diets, and provide physical activity, as well as mental stimulation to keep pets happy and healthy. What sets me apart is my ability to read each animal’s special needs, as I have many pets of my own. I have much patience and compassion when it comes to pets, whether it’s training a puppy, assisting a senior pet with mobility, or simply offering cuddles and attention. I treat each and every pet as my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m flexible and reliable, so I can accommodate different routines, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or special care needs. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority, not something I squeeze in. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and playtime instructions closely, while giving plenty of attention and affection. I keep the home tidy, clean up after pets (including litter boxes and feeding areas), and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.
“Rebekah was amazing. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our entire trip and left the house in perfect condition, even washing the sheets she used while she stayed. She went above and beyond and we would love to have her again!”
About: I’m just getting started on Rover! I have lots of experience with my own two cats. And I’ve helped with dogs while babysitting kids! I have 7 years of experience in behavioral work with children and lots of those skills can be applied to cats and dogs. It’s official! I’m moving back home to MI! I’ll be available through July 20th with open availability. After that please inquire as I’m not 100% sure when I’ll be in the moving process. Farewell Wisconsin! I have two indoor only cats. They’re both ginger girls so they’re both very social and loving with their dad and I. They love it when we’re home with them to cuddle, get kisses and treats!
“Excellent per usual! Gianna is quite accommodating., including on short order! She is caring of Gracie, our Chihuahua-Jack Russel little girl, and shared pics of her with us during the sitting. Gianna is engaging, prompt and fosters fun interactions. Hire her! She will not disappoint you or your pets.”
“Christina is extremely friendly and professional. Our animals loved her. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter while vacationing. Thank you Christina 🫶”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thomas
First time on Rover and hopefully first of many times with Ava.😊 personable, professional, thoughtful everything we could have asked for and more. We have 3 rescue pets, 2 dogs and a cat. Rescues sometimes need extra TLC and Ava understood that and went above and beyond. All 3 pets were completely comfortable and very well taken care of. We received updates & photos multiple times a day, gave medications, Ava handled anything that needed to be handled and did it all with a smile while exterior renovations were ongoing. Very highly recommend 13/10! Will use again.😊🐕🐈⬛🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thomas on Rover is $38.85 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 1,576 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across 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 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 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 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 Thomas. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
