About: As a pet owner for 20+ years (15+ years pet sitting for friends, family and word of mouth), I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. I can assure that I will provide the highest degree of professionalism and genuine care for your pet(s). With the experience of a variety of pets and breeds, I follow their own unique characteristics that deserve undivided attention. After recently losing my last dog I can’t get myself to get another one just yet so I am always looking forward to meeting and interacting with new pets! I am an energetic young adult who loves walking and hiking with a flexible schedule. Whether it is only for a moment or a few weeks I will always make sure that your pet feels comfortable and loved with a full healthy belly :) Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services! Thank you, Hannah I work remote with flexible hours that don’t take up a lot of my day. I maintain an active and adventurous lifestyle that fits with your pup getting the proper exercise and needing to let the zoomies out of the energetic ones. I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure in their own home or while away. I prioritize their routines, well-being, and happiness while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their pets are in reliable, responsible, and caring hands.

“Kurstin was amazing ! She kept me up to date on my pets daily and sent pictures. This was my first experience having someone watch over my reactive dog who can be a menace on the leash and she handled her perfectly! Has experience watching small pets and reptiles as well!”
About: I’ve been caring for and watching cat’s and dogs for just about my whole life! I used to run a small company called Pet Sitters in my neighborhood growing up! I have a verity of experiences from dogs of all sizes, energy and needs! I have also cared for dogs who need extra help getting around and extra care around the house! I work full-time; however, I work remotely giving me the flexibility to care for your pet! I typically work 7:30-4PM and am usually available on most weekends. I have an open area for pets to enjoy; however, I know that not all dogs are trained for this so I am happy to walk them in the neighborhood! Pets inside will enjoy an open home that they are free to enjoy as they would like. If at a client’s home, depending on the dog’s normal routine and client’s requests I will ensure your pet has a safe, enjoyable time while you are away. This will include: play time, walks, pets and whatever else the pet enjoys!

About: My name is Keri and I have been around animals since I was a baby. I live in a two bedroom house with my husband. Every animal has their own unique character and I know they are like family. So, I will give them love and care as if I were taking care of your child because I know how much they mean to you. All types of animals are welcome in my home. I care for people and animals, so I will be there if you want someone as your regular walker or sitter. I believe in honesty and kindness, there's enough chaos in this world. Why add to it? My schedule is wide open most days. If there is anything that I am not able to do, I will let you know. I am currently starting 2024 fall classes. I make sure doors are closed and they are always outside with a leash. They will get plenty of attention and treats from me !
“Emily is dependable and skilled in taking care of pets. This was our first visit, yet it felt like we had known each other for longer. She communicated well with me and so I was confident I could enjoy my time away. Emily is mature and pleasant and I would definitely have her back again.”
“This is the second time Abbey has watched our dog Rubi, and Rubi loved her just as much the second time! We have great peace of mind travelling knowing that Abbey is taking wonderful care of our pet as well as our home (and many plants) while we are away.”
About: I have a ton of experience with animals in the past. My family used to own a bulldog business, where I helped take care of their dogs, and give them unconditional love. Now I have 3 dogs of my own. Dogs are absolutely my favorite animal, I am a great pet-sitter because I love all animals, and we always become the best of friends. I just graduated from Kent State University with my BA in American Sign Language. I am deaf, and I know ASL, fluent English, and I have great communication skills with all types of people. Please feel free to ask if you would like to know anything else about me! Juggling my studies, family, and my Papillons is quite the routine, but it’s all part of the day’s work. Morning cuddles and care for my dogs amidst the family hustle set a positive vibe for the day. It’s a busy life, but caring for my dogs blends seamlessly into it, filled with love and joy. They’re more than pets; they’re family. Caring for pets involves understanding their specific needs and routines, whether it’s in my home or a client's. This means regular feeding, exercise, and affection, plus any special care required for their health or breed, like my Papillons. It’s all about ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-adjusted.

FAQs for House Sitting - Thompson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 360 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thompson. 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 Thompson 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 Thompson 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 Thompson 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.
