“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!”
“Madeline was so wonderful! We had tons of pics of the fur babies, she was so communicative throughout the booking, and even helped water the plants! We can’t wait to book Madeline again!”
“Look no further because Cara is the best! She is caring, mature and calm and has a keen sense with animals. She took care of our 3 dogs and home for 5 days and we came back to our home exactly as we had left it. I am so glad we found her and already have her booked a few more times. It’s a relief knowing our home and dogs are being well taken care of while we’re away. Really can’t say enough good things about her except give her a try —- ya won’t regret it.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Alanna care for our teenage cat, and we couldn't be more pleased. She was incredibly kind, communicative, and loving, truly appreciating our pet for how unique he is. Her generosity and patience, especially with our sometimes difficult kitten who tends to bite, were outstanding. Alanna handled him like a champ and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and descriptive messages. Not only did she provide excellent care for our pet, but she also went above and beyond with her thoughtful gestures. The house was spotless when we returned from her overnight stays, and she even washed the sheets for us and left us some yummy green onions in the fridge! We are so grateful for her exceptional care and will definitely be contacting her first for any future pet sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our pups and it’s always a pleasure to come home and find dogs that are relaxed and happy. She is meticulous about communicating with us and leaves our house as clean (or cleaner!) than when we left. What I love the most about her is how unflappable she is. She is obviously comfortable with dogs and I would trust her to handle any emergencies with her low-key clear-headed grace.”
“Emily was the BEST! We have an older dog and a puppy who is still adjusting to our home, learning good behavior, and working on potty training, so we knew he could be a lot for a sitter. Emily did an amazing job taking care of both of our dogs! She kept us updated throughout each day and sent us lots of videos. Before she left, she washed all the sheets & towels, made the bed, and did the dishes! I could not have asked for a better sitter to watch our boys. I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you again, Emily!”
“We have booked Alexis to house sit for our dog, Burton, more than once, and we definitely plan on booking her again in the future! Took great care of our pup and house!”

About: Hi there! I’m Sidney! A lifelong animal lover with more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. My own little family includes 1 dog and 3 cats, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and special-needs cats, and I’m experienced in providing patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s comfort level and routine. Whether your pet needs a slower-paced walk, extra encouragement, medication support, or mobility accommodations, I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone else’s pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pay close attention to leash safety, body language, routines, and individual needs. I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in capable hands. Walks are one of my favorite parts of pet care! Whether your pup enjoys a relaxed neighborhood stroll, a sniff-filled adventure, or a more active outing, I’ll make sure they get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve at a pace that’s right for them. I’d love to get to know you and your pets and create a care routine that keeps them happy, healthy, and comfortable! I currently work part-time, and I'm usually home around 3-4 pm for all of your dogs' evening needs. I work downtown, which allows me to walk to your home as soon as I'm off work. I love going on hot girl walks with my own pup and would enjoy meeting and becoming BFFs with your dogs so we can go on all the hot girl walks together! I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or lots of cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Safety and trust are extremely important to me, and I always treat both pets and homes with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Arden was great taking care of our dogs and cat. She stayed in the nighttime to ensure that our dogs were ok and not in need of emergency potty situations that can sometimes occur. She walked the dogs, sent pics and they were all happy and fine when we got home. House was great and everything went smoothly! Using her again the end of the month!”
“Elaina took excellent care of our senior dog and cat while we were out of town. Our pets have a lot of special care needs, so they can be quite a handful, but Elaina made sure everyone was well looked after. She took great care of our home as well. Thanks Elaina!!”
“Erin did a wonderful job watching our boy Cooper. She was communicative, sending pics and texting here and there, so I always felt in the loop. She has a great personality that I’m sure my dog loved. I would recommend her as a great pet sitter!”
“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.”
“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.”

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.
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!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 610 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.
