“Lisa was really awesome with my Great Dane. She came early so my girl wouldn't be alone and it made me feel so much better and allowed me to enjoy my time away from my girl. I highly recommend Lisa for all your pet needs. She stepped in for me last minute after another sitter canceled on me a day before my trip. Lisa is a very sweet lady.”

“Samantha is a pro and so sweet! Our three animals love her, and we look forward to having her back in just two weeks. Such excellent communication, fun pictures, and incredibly kind and honest. Many thanks and TOP recommendation!”

“What can I say? Anastasiia won my cat, Julie's heart over. Julie does not like people, traveling or being alone so you can imagine the predicament. During our first meeting, Anastasiia walked in and Julie investigated, and let her be petted, immediately. I knew at that point. During my trip, Anastasiia sent updates and pictures of Julie playing and basking outside. I didn't have to worry about what was happening at home. If you are looking for a pet whisperer, Anastasiia is your sitter.”

“Paige did an excellent job dog/house sitting! She was very communicative, made sure we had updates, and even offered to swing by one last time when our flight was arriving later than we expected. Will definitely be booking her again for all of our trips away. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I’ve dog sat for multiple families over the last several years for all kinds of dogs. I love to play with the dogs and will make sure they’re well taken care of while you’re away. I'm currently on school break so very flexible schedule! I can do multiple drop ins throughout the day, check my current availability for more info. I only do drop-in visits at the moment and will be very respectful of you and your cats space. I will cuddle or play with your cats if they are social!
About: I took care of my boys for just over 14 years, twin Shih Tzu’s, they were the loves of my life. They taught me more patience and much more research especially when they became seniors and required medications. After their passing I’ve been honored to take care of others fur babies, 3 goldens + 1 king cavelier and another’s cat. I loved every minute of spending time, walking, playing and even just sitting with them for company. I’m currently working part time and am flexible to help out with your fur babies whether you need someone to stop by for a few hours or need someone to watch them overnight. I will, with your instructions, care for your pet(s) just as you would. Currently I am unable to care for them in my own home.

“Renee was an amazing find! So helpful and flexible with my last minute travel plans. Was amazing with my special doggies, made them comfortable enough in her home for them to settle right in (which is not typical 1st day behavior for them). Thanks so much! 🤗💝🎉🐶🦮”

“Raechel is incredible! She is reliable and trustworthy. She took great care of our two dogs for a week. They loved her! We came back to clean house too. We are very happy with her services and highly recommend her.”


About: I have cared for many a dog and cat for family and friends. As well as I am a pet owner myself. I will love your baby and play with your baby as if it were my own. Pet sitting and house sitting will be my job. So I will be dedicated to whatever schedule is needed for my client. I will be available on weekdays and weekends. I also can provide pet pick up and drop off to vet visits or groomers for a fee I would rather keep your pet in your home. If I need to I am certainly willing to bring to my house. I do not have a fenced yard, but can walk your pet for exercise. I do own two cats, so if your baby does not tolerate them, then it would for sure need to be your home I stay in with them.
“Thomas was amazing! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute right before the holiday. Thomas saved the day & watched our two dogs. Our older dog can be a challenge and he was so sweet & patient with her. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals, specifically dogs and cats, have always been a key part of my life. I have a black lab of my own named Indy and she is my pride and joy. There are also several other dogs and cats within my inner circle that I absolutely adore. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your baby, and I would treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable and comfortable following even the most elaborate routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, recovery restrictions, or lots of extra cuddles. I also have several close friends and family members who work in veterinary medicine, including my cousin who is currently in her third year of veterinary school and is always just a phone call away. My schedule is extremely flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs rather than expecting their routine to fit around mine. Pets in my home will be treated just like my own—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of cuddles! The dogs in my home are very friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and at home as possible while they’re with me. Pets are welcome on the furniture and beds in my home, especially if that’s what they’re used to at home. If your pet is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated at certain times, I also have a kennel available and am happy to follow their normal routine.
“Katie H. sent only relevant messages, arrived on time and was gracious above and beyond expectations. I first booked two dogs, Mandy and Clarice. At the last minute she agreed to my adding a third dog, Winnie. Clarice was old, was diabetic and was not friendly due to her condition. Mandy was a normal, active 3-year old and Winnie was a 5-month old puppy. Katie sent us a couple of photos, and all three dogs were perfectly calm when we arrived after our event. This was my first experience with Rover.com, and I am truly impressed thanks to Katie.”

About: I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends and friends-of-friends around the area, with most of my clients finding me through word of mouth. Apparently, the dogs have been giving me five stars, so I figured it was time to officially join Rover! 🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically start work around 9–10 AM and have the ability to work remotely for a couple of hours during the day, but I do need to be physically at work from 3–7 PM. This gives me flexibility for morning and midday walks, drop-ins, and plenty of time for pet care outside of those hours. I’m happy to care for pets wherever they’re most comfortable! Whether that’s walks and adventures outside, playtime at home, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
About: I feel a strong connection to animals. & really enjoy spending time with them & caring for them. Seeing a pet happy, makes me happy also. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule & would like the opportunity to help some clients on a regular basis if they have the need for a routine. I do believe in keeping pets safe. I don’t allow any pet I am caring for to walk off leash, unless we are in a safe fenced area.
About: 🌿 Hello! My name is Ashley 🌿 I have always been surrounded by animal companions growing up, and still feel a need and calling to put my best care into an animal's well-being. Your pet is a sophisticated, emotional creature with specific needs, and I guarantee that you can trust me with those needs. My #1 goal is to provide a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for your dog or cat. As a life-time dog owner and animal rights advocate, you can count on me to be present and attentive when caring for your pet. Whether they are young and energetic, or elderly and tranquil, there is no such thing as an animal who is "too needy." I can't wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱 I am currently working on running my own business, so I have full availability for any pet care needs. I am hoping to build more clientele here as well. I will not be caring for any pets within my own home, but I am more than happy and available to provide services in your home!
About: I have extensive experience in pet care, specializing in dog sitting and dog walking. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My dog-sitting experience includes feeding, administering medications if needed, and providing a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. As a dog walker, I prioritize exercise and mental stimulation, tailoring walks to each dog’s energy level and needs. I am attentive to their behavior, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. My passion for animals and responsible approach make me a reliable and caring pet caregiver. Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine by scheduling dog walking and sitting around my other responsibilities. I can set aside specific time slots each day for dog walks, ensuring that each pet gets the exercise and attention they need. For dog sitting, I can plan my schedule in advance to accommodate overnight stays or extended care, making sure I provide a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs. By balancing my commitments and being organized, I can efficiently manage pet care while still having time for personal tasks. Prioritizing consistency and flexibility allows me to provide reliable and loving care for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep the pet’s routine consistent. I provide companionship, regular walks, feeding, and any special care required, such as administering medication or grooming. I also ensure the home stays clean and secure, giving pet owners peace of mind while they are away. Whether in my home or theirs, my priority is to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 279 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thornburg. 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 Thornburg 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 Thornburg 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 Thornburg 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.
