“This was our second time booking Jenna! It’s safe to say we have found our dog sitter for all our future needs! She is great with the dogs, sends updates and pictures, and always flexible to our last minute needs!”
“Kaitlyn was an absolute gem and made our weekend away completely stress-free! From the very first update, it was clear she truly cared about our dog and gave him the best possible time. She sent the sweetest, most detailed reports with adorable photos throughout the day. She went above and beyond, keeping him on a great routine and picking up after him so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s obvious Kaitlyn is caring and responsible, and we felt like he was in the very best hands the entire time. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙”
“Darrius did an amazing job watching our house and our dogs for a week while we were out of the country. He was very reliable and trustworthy. He sent us checkins and pictures daily. Our dogs were happy and clean when we came home. He even dealt with our pool and brought our packages inside. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Sherine did an excellent job as always! In spite of the busy holiday season, she took extra good care of our elderly kitties and took our new kittens and their antics in stride. She went above and beyond taking care of the house, and we are so appreciative! Good communication helped our expectations! Will definitely book with Sherine again!”
“Jasmine took great care of our 3 pets over a holiday weekend and we will definitely book again! She shared plenty of pictures and updates that provided peace of mind while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”
“5 Stars for Nelson! Nelson is hands down the best pet sitter out there! I recently had the absolute pleasure of trusting Nelson to care for my pets while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, he showed deep concern and thoughtful attention—not just to tasks, but to the emotional and physical well-being of my pets. He kept me consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, took initiative by changing the cat litter without being asked, and played wholeheartedly with the dogs. He even took Missy on multiple walks—completely unprompted—simply because he cared. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. What really blew me away is how Missy, who doesn’t warm up easily to people (especially men), loved Nelson. That’s practically a miracle in itself—and speaks volumes about his gentle energy, patience, and kindness. Nelson gave me genuine peace of mind. His heart, intuition, and respect for my pets’ personalities make him incomparable. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and truly gets animals, Nelson is the one. Missy already misses him—and honestly, so do I!”
“Jenny is the best house sitter we ever had. She took extraordinary care of our two dogs and one cat, sending plenty of pictures and videos so we could see how happy they all were. She also left the house in immaculate condition. We will definitely use her again. She's amazing!!”
“Mayra was amazing with our doggies from the start. She took such good care of them and kept us updated with pictures so we could see how they were doing. We will definitely have her take care of our babies again!!!!”
“Tuongvi and her Boyfriend were available at the last minute for an out of state trip after another sitter fell through. Despite the stress that caused, I am so relieved it happened. I will absolutely be scheduling future overnights with them. My Boxer-Pit mix has separation anxiety and is dog/animal reactive. I have only left her overnight one other time so needless to say I was nervous about a long weekend away from her. Tuongvi was responsive and communicative from the minute I reached out about booking. She came over prior to the trip so I could show them my space and familiarize them and my dog. During my trip, I received regular pictures and updates. It was abundantly clear my dog was well cared for and loved.”
“Geneva was assumed with Pepper and beans. Being very tentative with them when it came to feeding and being let out. Also spending some social time with them. Ill def recommend and hire again for future vacations.!!!”
“Jennifer did a great job with our poodles. She was attentive and kind, kept our house looking and smelling fresh. She fed, groomed and cared for them according to our directions. We really couldn't ask for a better sitter! Thanks!”
“Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!”
“Tony is an amazing pet sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He took care of my 2 pups and had me at a complete peace of mind while on vacation. He was extremely caring for them, very communicative, gave me daily updates with photos, and he kept my place so clean! 5/5 pet service.”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! Before our appointment, she took the time to meet Mona, get familiar with our area, and understand all of her needs. On the day of the appointment, she was punctual, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciate it. Most importantly, Mona was so happy to spend time with her! I highly recommend Sydney and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Sydney!!!”
“The dogs liked him. He was very attentive. Kept us posted on everything that was going on with daily pictures with updates. Will definitely use him again.”
“Karina did a wonderful job taking care of our cats again, they were happy, well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Pets were alive and happy when we came home from our 8 day trip. Jillian took the time every week for about two months to visit with our pets to make them as comfortable as possible. She also did a great job taking care of the house. We will definitely use her in the future if needed.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thompsons on Rover is $29.43 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 3,290 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thompsons. 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 Thompsons 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 Thompsons 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 Thompsons 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 Thompsons. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
