“Lauren was the best! My dogs and kitty were so much more relaxed being at home while we vacationed. Much better than boarding them. Lauren sent me pics and updates so I could relax and not worry about my babies. I highly recommend Lauren .”
“Joseph was a wonderful sitter for our puppy! He learned about and followed her routines, spent lots of quality time with her to build a relationship, and even worked with her on training. We’ll definitely book with him again!”
“Everything was great! my terrier can be a brat and really only likes me, she took the time with Ellie and they are now friends. My other dog is a rescue right off the streets and has trust issues and high anxiety she listen to Junebugs cues and gave her meds when she felt Junebug needed them . My older cat loves her ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Meaghan was awesome! Very professional, asks lots of questions when she came for the meet and greet. She did exactly as I asked including walks and feeding and playing with our pups as well as our kitty. She sent pics and communicated well throughout the stay. We would absolutely hire her again!”
“Austyn was a perfect fit for us. She took care of everything we needed done (including meds for one of our dogs) and most important, gave so much attention and cuddles to our fur babies while we were gone. Will most definitely be using her again when we travel. Thanks Austyn”
About: I grew up in 4-H and FFA raising and showing all sorts of livestock. Dogs always being a major part of it. I have had the pleasure of taking care of dogs from puppy stages to an acient 16 yr old pug and understand the different responsibilities that come at each stage. I love all animals and will do my absolute best to build the necessary bond with each and every pet I come across. I currently own a border collie who is amazing! I work full time M-F 8am to 4pm with necessary breaks to take my dog out. I work from home most of the week. I am also very flexible, let me know what you need and I am sure we can figure something out. I have a large unfenced yard. I take my dog out at least once a day for no less than an hour. I have parks near, a great neighborhood to walk and a couple nice trails near me. I find it imprtant to switch things up so the dogs do not get bored. I have one dog, a border collie and chickens fenced in my backyard. If your dog is not chicken friendly let me know and maybe we can find a way to make it work. I currently work from home 4-5 days a week and am home most weekends. I am available to let dogs out as often as they need during the day. I have a fenced backyard that is full of dog toys and a possible agility course. My dog and I take an hour walk daily but can adjust to your dogs needs.
About: I recently lost my senior dog at 15 years old. I’m looking to provide that same love, patient, routined care to others pets. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to focus on the care your pet needs. I have experience in specialized diets, medications, and mobility support. I also love to walk and would be happy to take your pet for sniffaris. My current full time job is remote work, allowing me plenty of flexibility, particularly if your pet stays in my home. If need be I can also work from others homes, if pets prefer to stay in their home. I live on the second floor of a quiet fourplex, my apartment is accessed via 14 steps on the outside of my building. I care for pets by bringing them on neighborhood walks, and live across the street from a park.
“I was very happy and relieved to have Lou stay with my cat at my house for five nights. Lou has a thoughtful sunny personality that I immediately felt comfortable with. Will definitely be planning to have this lovely person part of my vacation sitting needs in the future!”
About: I have house sat since I could drive. I adore dogs, and all animals for that matter. I have trained both my dogs and miss them dearly since being at college. If you’d like someone to baby your dog, i’m your gal!! I currently don’t work and I can spend almost all day at your house with your baby. I have school from 8am- 11am weekdays but am free after that! I also am big on walking and recently got into running. I don’t have a place to keep a dog at my house but I am always down to stay and take care of any size dog at your house. I also am an avid walker
About: I offer extensive, lifelong experience in animal care, developed while growing up on a working farm. This background instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and a strong foundation in proper animal care. My hands-on experience spans a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I’m a college student but on break for the summer so I have a lot of time to work. Animals have been apart of my everyday routine for years so, I’m used to the responsibility pets take. Pets just like anyone else need a safe environment. Since I grew up in a pet friendly house I’ve been more aware of the hazards that can occur.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, behaviors, and energy levels my whole life—chihuahuas and shepherds, labs and hounds, aggressive and friendly, excessively dependent and independent. I grew up with four large rescue dogs with their own individual needs, problems, and behaviors, and my experience with them and the little jobs I’ve had have made me an extremely versatile pet caregiver! Whatever you or your pet need, I will do my absolute best to supply. I’m still in high school, but I have plenty of time before and after school all week! As well, I have plenty of free periods throughout the school day to come and go as needed. The family dogs have always been my responsibility, and likely will until I’m moved out of my parent’s house. Pet care is always part of my routine and I would love to be able to have your pets part of it too! **Dog walking is included with check-ins and house-sitting if requested! I will not charge extra if you need your pup(s) (or cats!) walked on top of other care needs.** As I said, I’m versatile in pet care and willing to do whatever is usual for your dog’s routine. However, as a standard: 1. Usually when I walk dogs, I let them lead—I’ll still maintain control, just let them go the direction they prefer, as long as it’s safe! I’m careful to avoid other dogs and people. I love taking dogs on wilderness trails and jogs especially! 2. For overnight stays, I encourage pets to sleep at least in the same room as me, so I can keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. 3. For housesitting, I always make sure to stay tidy and put things up where pets can’t reach them. 4. I do not yell at or hit dogs. When correcting behavior, I stick to positive reinforcement! 5. If a dog is anxious, upset, or injured, I make sure to maintain a calm and quiet environment and treat them as needed. 6. Whatever your rules are, I’ll follow! I want to make sure your pet(s) feel secure and safe during my time caring for them. 7. Any housesitting I do, I try to spend minimal time away from pets. They’ll be given constant attention!
“We cannot recommend Angelika highly enough! She took all of our stress out of leaving our dog for the week. My dog can sometimes be picky about the people he likes, and with Angelika he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well taken care of. She checked in frequently, was commutative, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog’s routine was maintained, and we came home to a house that was spotless. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Ashley has done a great job for us in caring for our Bassett Hound in our home and we highly recommend her services! Our last trip was a week long and Henry was loved and walked just as we wanted and expected. Thank you Ashley for taking such good care of King Henry!”
“Diana took care of our quirky catahoula dog like he was her own! He had so much fun with her and was just as we left him on return. She also took great care of our house. She sent lovely fun pictures of them playing and hanging out! We appreciated the updates and the prompt communication. Pets (and humans!) would be lucky to have her care for them while away. Highly recommend!”
“So happy with Harley! She was wonderful with our dogs and communicated very well. She left our house in tip top shape and exceeded all of our expectations. We will definitely book her again and again!”
About: I guarantee to treat every animal with the same love and care as my own. And beyond that, the same love and care as my children. I am self employed and can make time for any animal any day through my open schedule. I make my own schedule day by day. I have a fenced yard with one small very sweet loving dog. She has gotten along well with any animal she has encountered. I trained her myself.

FAQs for House Sitting - Thorp
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thorp. 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 Thorp 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 Thorp 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 Thorp 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 Thorp. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
