“Alanna was amazing!! She took fantastic care of Roadie, sent lots of photos and updates, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She also took great consideration of my home, and left everything in perfect condition. She was extremely considerate on all levels and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet/home sitter!”
“I will not trust anyone else with my babies. Sara I'd absolutely amazing. She really cares and does an amazing job. She sends pictures and takes care of my fur babies like her own.”
“Sara was literally the most incredible sitter we’ve had yet. She not only loved our boys endlessly, she sent daily photos and cleaned up after the dogs after a weeks stay. She is highly communicative!”
“We are happy to provide a magnificent recommendation for Alexis who recently provided in-home pet and house sitting services for me over an eight-day period. Throughout the engagement, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. My dog was exceptionally well cared for receiving consistent exercise, proper feeding, and attentive companionship. It was evident upon my return that my pet was comfortable, healthy, and had been treated with genuine care. In addition, she maintained my home in excellent condition. The property was clean, orderly, and well-managed, reflecting a clear respect for my space and expectations. Communication was consistent and reassuring, with regular updates that provided confidence and peace of mind during my time away. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to engage Alexis again for future services and offer my full recommendation to others seeking a dependable and trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
“Kaitlyn & Michael are amazing! They sent us pictures everyday of our pup & two kitties! Our big meat head of a dog LOVED Michael. They stayed at our house for a week & everything was spotless when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking & would highly recommend them! Thank you guys!!”
“Michelle was a great dog/house sitter while we were away. She kept me up to date and sent photos of our little fur child so we knew she was doing well. Highly recommended!”
“Caleb was terrific. My pets (dog and cat) warmed up to him immediately. He helped out at short notice, was eager to do his best for my pets, asked the right questions and during the meet and greet made a great effort to get familiar with the animals, so they'd be more comfortable. I would highly recommend him if you need a pet sitter. And he is just a lovely person too-even made me a welcome home dessert!”
“She was simply amazing. She went above and beyond, not just for caring for our sweet Watson but for being in our home too. She took exceptional care of everything! We had to leave our pup for the longest stretch to date, and he couldn’t have been in better hands. We got daily photo updates and Watson got someone who genuinely loved and cared for him! He has not stopped playing with the new toys she so generously gifted him. I know he misses her so much!”

“Clarissa is the absolute best pet sitter! She loved on my babies and catered to them the entire time. I got lots of pictures. She made sure to stick to their schedule as close as possible. I couldn’t have asked for better care. She’s an absolute sweetheart and I am so grateful for her!”
“Emily is the best! She always ensures our pets are well taken care of and loved! She took our dog on extra long walks and when we came back the house was probably cleaner than when we left it. Highly highly recommend.”

“Erin was amazing! She did such a a great job taking care of Sammie. We would recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet. She was incredibly communicative, took lots of pictures and it was clear Sammie really liked her. Thank you!!!”
“Adrianne was wonderful! Our three Chihuahuas loved her! Took interest in the instructions we left. She went above and beyond, watering our plants, putting the garbage out for pickup and keeping the house in good order. Would definitely have her dog/housesit again.”
“Payton watched our dog and three cats in our home for a week, and she did a wonderful job! All four animals seemed very comfortable with her right away, including our large puppy and skittish cat who requires daily medication. Payton was reliable and responsible, and we look forward to having her house sit again in the future.”
“Melissa was such a blessing! She took the best care of our sweet Lucy. I knew Lucy was comfortable and in great hands because she ate her food everyday and usually she skips days because she’s anxious when we’re gone. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates and photos, too.”

Payton watched our dog and three cats in our home for a week, and she did a wonderful job! All four animals seemed very comfortable with her right away, including our large puppy and skittish cat who requires daily medication. Payton was reliable and responsible, and we look forward to having her house sit again in the future.
We had a wonderful experience with Olivia! She was incredibly friendly, flexible, and made the entire process so easy. It was clear Dash was well cared for and loved while we were away. She took him on plenty of walks, kept him active and happy, and sent us lots of great pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Catalina was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our pets while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about each of our animals. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and that means everything. I wouldn't hesitate to book Catalina again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Catalina!
I have used Alexis a few times now for my dog boo and she does a great job every time and making sure the house is clean when I come home she sends me updates and let me know how he is doing! He is a puppy so it is really hard sometimes to deal with his puppy way, but I’m grateful for her patience
Kiersten took care of our 10 week old puppy whom we were hesitant to leave for a beach day. She responded quickly to a last minute booking and took excellent care of our puppy as well as our Suite and immediately put us at ease. Highly recommend and will be booking again in the future for our next Savannah visit.
It was SO nice of Blanca to come out to our house weeks before our booking so that she could meet Guster (and us!) and get the lay of the land. We are SO appreciative of her communication during her stay. We are SO happy to have found Blanca and will plan to have her stay with Gus from now on, if she is available.
Katie was wonderful!! She was on time to sit with my dog Emma at our location and she sent us updates and photos throughout each session. Emma my dog, was a little nervous on this trip but she instantly took to Katie. When we returned each day from our excursions, Emma was happy and relaxed. 😊 I will definitely book Katie again, next time I’m in Savannah!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thunderbolt on Rover is $55.5 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 628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thunderbolt. 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 Thunderbolt 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 Thunderbolt 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 Thunderbolt 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 Thunderbolt. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
