“Gwen is the best! Our dogs love her. They are so joyful when she is with them. Gwen has dog sat for us twice and both times we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur-babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Gwen. ❤️”
“Genesis was excellent! Great communication, kept us updated, and took great care of our pets. Our home was clean and well-maintained when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Madolyn was a joy to work with from beginning to end. She came to meet our furry family not once but twice to make sure they were comfortable with her. She was quick to respond, easy to talk to and she gave me one less thing to stress out about during the holidays! She left our home just as she found it and our pets were happy and healthy when we arrived home. 10 out of 10!! I will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone I meet. Thank you Madolyn for being such an incredible sitter.”
“This is the second time Toni has watched Zelda and housesat and I couldn't be more pleased! She sent plenty of updates and treated Zelda like her own dog. I know Zelda will be excited for the next time we book Toni!”
“Grateful that Tyeshia and her brother were able to take Wooli last minute. Although I wish we had received photos/updates while we were gone, we picked up our happy and healthy dog at the end of the day, which is all I really care about.”
“Caleb did a wonderful job taking care of our two boxers. He followed our set routine for them and kept us informed and up to date with pictures (so many pictures) and comments. He answered the phone when I needed to speak with him and took care of our home. We can tell our babies missed us but were well cared for. It was a comfort to know they were in such good hands. It made our vacation better.”
“Meaghan was great! Our dogs absolutely loved her and had a great time during our absence. She was timely, communicative, and had no issues with our anxious pups and their many needs. We can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely rebook with her!”
“Sydney was a great sitter. She was informative about Bailey while we were away. She was prompt and as well as she was able to take us last minute especially with how hectic Masters had the local area. Thank you so much and I look forward to booking her again!”
About: I have had dogs since 2013. I had three, I currently have two. One of them had epilepsy, this gave me experience with seizures and administering medicine. I also worked at a doggy day care for 1 year, there I cared for large groups of dogs. We fed them, changed out water 4-5 times a day, picked up after them and played with them. I'm knowledgeable about dog behavior and how to avoid situations that would be harmful. I know to test the pavement heat before a walk on hot days. I'm currently seeking steady employment but am wanting to make this my steady job. I'm available during the week from six am to 5 pm I'm currently unable to pet sit in my home. I'm more than happy to pet sit in the dogs/cats home that makes the pets more comfortable as well since it's not a strange house with strange smells. I'm more than happy to drop in or stay for awhile. I enjoy taking walks and it's always good to have a friend (your pet) with me.
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life. I have had many different breeds throughout my life. Taking care of dogs are my passion and I hope you choose me to help you out. I am currently doing online classes until July 13th so I will be available for drop-ins 3 times a day and walks 3 times a day. After that I can drop in however often is needed, as reasonable. I am not offering boarding services but I am available to take your dogs on trail walks or long walks in general if needed, I may offer house sitting services in the future.
About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime and I especially love dogs! My favorite thing to do in the evening after taking a walk is to cuddle with a sweet puppy, a book (or Stardew Valley) and a hot tea. In my free time I like to paint and crochet, ask me about my headscarves! I currently work part time as a secretary so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet as well as short turn around for your last minute trips. I love to take walks so I can provide any exercise needed. I have cared for shy, nervous and high energy pups. I also have experience with giving dogs medication and caring for elderly dogs. I am comfortable with multiple dog homes and I'm very flexible to your pups particular needs.
“Heather took such great care of our anxious Otis ! This was his first time without any family but the pictures and videos she sent put us at ease . He had a great time with her. We will most certainly book her again.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have five dogs of my own, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also cared for dogs for private families and understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m in college from 8:00 AM to about 12:30 PM, so I’m available before and after classes for pet care. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood dog walker! With years of experience under my belt, I'm all about giving your pup the adventure they deserve. Rain or shine, I'll make sure they have a tail-wagging good time while you're away. Let's make fetch happen! I’m currently a Stay at home parent to my 6yo and 2yo. Left the full time work scene to be more present in my family’s day to day life. I’m available during weekday and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a silly furry boy to keep yours company. But also willing to adjust to preferences if you want your pet to stay separate! I am able to crate if needed, large crate and medium crate for medium and small dogs. Also door (“baby”) gates if crating is not preferred.
“Victoria did an amazing job communicating with us about our dogs. She was attentive to the instructions we left for their training along with maintaining one of the dogs medicine routines. Would highly recommend!”
“I have used Rover before in Alaska and was less than pleased with the amount of time spent with my two mini schnauzers, Nahla spend most of her time taking care of my girls during my short trip (three days). The dogs were walked everyday and they liked her a lot. It was her first time and she cooked food for them they way I do; but she did more than the Vet assistant or student I hired in Alaska and the house was still clean. Thanks Nahla”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of “family members” over the years. From young to older, rowdy to anxious, bitty ones to large lap lovers. I’m familiar with administering medications, addressing litter boxes, special eating needs and am well versed in sleeping arrangements. I treat every member with love and care as I would my own. I currently work from home where I am able to travel and be present during the day and evening. I can do walks during my lunch hour to ensure they’re not stuck inside all day or whatever their needs are. Though it is a wfh I have a schedule, but I always make it work for the pets needs. I will do everything necessary to keep the fur babies safe and secure. I’m able to place them in crates or rooms if necessary or continue with crate training or house training if they’re in the middle of learning.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thomson on Rover is $27.75 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 252 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thomson. 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 Thomson 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 Thomson 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 Thomson 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
