“I can't say enough good things about Sean! He took incredible care of my dog, Griffey, who is a high-energy pup and requires a lot of exercise to stay happy. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that Sean has a true passion for animals. He connected with Griffey instantly, making him feel comfortable and at ease. Throughout my time away, Sean went above and beyond to keep Griffey active and engaged, giving him plenty of walks and playtime. Griffey is a bit of a “velcro dog” and loves being around people, so I was thrilled to hear that Sean was happy to have Griffey by his side, keeping him company throughout his stay. Knowing Griffey was in such loving hands gave me complete peace of mind. Sean sent regular updates and photos, showing Griffey looking like he made a new best friend! I’m grateful to have found such a caring and attentive dog sitter. I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat their pet with the same love and care as their own!”


“Abby did a great job looking out after my two dogs! She left earlier today before I got home. Dogs were taken care of and the house locked up. Not 20 minutes after she left the house, a neighbor of mine called and said they had Buddy. He had escaped the yard somehow! I contacted Abby and asked if she could go back to the house and deal with that situation. She didn’t hesitate! I got back from out of town and found the dogs happy and healthy like nothing ever happened! Thank you Abby for the extra care!!”

About: Hi! I’m Kate, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me- It’s my full-time career, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it. I grew up with dogs and cats and currently share my home with a dog, two cats, and three gargoyle geckos. Over the years I’ve also cared for bearded dragons, snakes, axolotls, spiders, and isopods, so I’m comfortable with both traditional and exotic pets. One of my greatest strengths is working with pets that need a little extra patience. I have experience caring for highly reactive dogs and understand how important it is to move at their pace, read their body language, respect their boundaries, and build trust. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or reactive, my goal is always to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Because pet sitting is my full-time focus, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pets won’t be rushed into a quick visit between other obligations- they’ll receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know every pet is an individual. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some want endless belly rubs, and others are happiest just having a calm companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and personality, whether that means long walks, enrichment games, cuddle time, or simply giving them space when they need it. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. That’s why communication is one of my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pets are doing. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable while your home is treated with the utmost respect. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior cat, a reactive dog, or an exotic pet with specialized needs, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while giving your pets the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! Because pet care is my full-time career, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide variety of booking needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, as well as weekends and most holidays. Whether you need a last-minute drop-in, a consistent daily schedule, or care while you’re away on vacation, I’ll do my best to work around your needs. Since I don’t have another full-time job competing for my attention, your pets receive dedicated, reliable care and aren’t rushed between appointments. I know that life doesn’t always go according to plan, so I’m happy to accommodate schedule changes and last-minute requests whenever my calendar allows. My goal is to make finding dependable pet care as easy and stress-free as possible for you. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to ensure they receive the best possible care. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including highly reactive dogs, and I always use calm, patient handling while respecting each animal’s boundaries. For pets staying in my home, I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and enrichment while supervised. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, leaving it just as I found it. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
“Tierra was amazing. Very kind and exceptional communication. She is very well-versed in animal care and was so good to our pups. She left the house nice and tidy and kept us updated while we were gone. Will absolutely book with her again.”
“I needed someone to watch my two dogs in my home. I hired Winifred based on her reviews which are very good. She came before hand to meet the dogs and get acquainted with their care, and they were very comfortable with her. She is very experienced with animal care and I felt totally comfortable having her care for my dogs. Winifred sent daily updates and pictures which was nice and the dogs loved her extra attention. My house was totally as I left it and the dogs happy when we got home. I highly recommend Winifred to anyone who needs pet sitting services!”

“Betty did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs! She was very communicative and sent awesome photos and seemed to really just love on our pups while we were out of town for the weekend.”


“Jackie is absolutely amazing! She is truly the best. Jackie watched our two small pups for 4 days while we were on vacation and she was so good to our dogs by following their schedule, their needs, extra loves, outside time and overall making sure they were happy while we were gone. She sent pictures and videos every few hours to inform us how they were doing. I will only be booking with Jackie in the future!! :)”

“Rachel is absolutely lovely! My crew had a great day with her. I felt very secure in leaving them with her as a sitter new to us. Thanks for the extra care and fun and games with some trickery! I will absolutely hire Rachel again.”

“Sara was communicative and took great care of the our dogs and house! She gave updates and sent photos and worked with our dogs to make sure they were comfortable. We’d definitely work with her again.”

“I really appreciate all the effort and care put into my animals! Like most pet owners, I fret when I'm away. Monique was communicative and friendly, always responding quickly and happy to send a pic.”

“Andi provided daily updates about my pets. He was attentive and notified me of one acting Ill. He went above and beyond to provide my pets a comfortable environment and assist me in coming home to clean pups!”

“We hired Amber after our regular Rover sitter of 3 years moved. We have 2 medium senior dogs and 1 large 4 YO dog. It can be sometimes a bit much especially as the two are aging and one has meds and sometimes mobility needs requiring meds. Amber is very communicative. Which was lovely. She scheduled a meet and greet; asked plenty of questions—we have a pretty good sense and organization; having used Rover a lot. She was wonderful with our dogs. They proved to be a bit more high maintenance than they had been with our previous sitter; but I would certainly hire Amber again with how she handled everything. She sent photos and videos. She was always prompted in her response.”

“So so happy I found Jocelyn. My cat, Ezra, is basically a dog when it comes to being needy and wanting attention. He’s also incredibly picky with people. Jocelyn went above and beyond in taking care of Ezra, with doing a preliminary meet and greet, rearranging her work schedule, sending picture/video updates, and so much more. I came home to a very happy cat and spotless home (cleaner than I left it!). Your fur baby is in good hands with Jocelyn.”


About: Hello! I'm Taylor! I have cared for dogs ever since my first sibling pair of Great Danes at 6 years old. Ive truly loved animals ever since, caring for dogs, cats, horses, birds, homes, and the odd niece/nephew ever since. My husband and I moved here from the midwest a couple years ago and loved it so much we bought our first home! We brought our tuxedo cat, Goose, and our 15 year -but plays like a much younger man - puggle, Chuck, along for the ride and they cannot wait to make friends with your fur babies! I am also more than happy to be available for pop-ins, walks, home/pet sitting, you name it! I am lucky to be able to work remotely as an independent contractor; this gives me flexibility throughout the day. I am able to provide near constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Your fur baby will never be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt to their usual daily needs such as feeding and walking schedule. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly resident pets: Chuck, our spry 15-year-old puggle who enjoys helping out in the garden, bunny hopping in the yard, hard-core cuddle sessions, and playing with his brother Goose (the cat), who likes dogs but also has plenty of high up hiding space, inaccessible to furry visitors. I ensure a safe, balanced environment by supervising all pet interactions closely. My home offers a structured routine, plenty of open space to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for bedtime or safety.
“Nazeerah and Nick were fantastic sitters! They were super caring with our pets, sent us tons of pictures, and were absolute stars when it came to administering difficult medication. They left our house perfectly in the way we left it too! Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She was able to step in and watch my dogs for me while I was out of town on a last minute work trip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely rebook with her!”
“I can't say enough how much I appreciate and love Ashten & Shelby! They did amazing with my pup as always and even earned some kitty cuddles which is very rare for my cats when they're around strangers. as an employee of Rover, this is the experience i hope for all Rover users”


About: I’m not claiming to be the best pet sitter, but here’s what I do know. I love animals & I love a clean house! A little about me—I'm a 51 year old, mom of 2 twenty year old college students, & a big wellness chaser. I absolutely love animals and have always enjoyed caring for pets as if they were my own. Spending quality time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to, whether that's going for neighborhood walks, playing outside, or simply keeping them company. As an active tennis and pickleball player & runner, I appreciate being outdoors as often as possible. I also understand how important it is to leave a home exactly as I'd want someone to leave mine. I take pride in being clean, organized, and respectful of other people's spaces. My goal is always for homeowners to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a spotless, welcoming home. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medications as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m an active person, and caring for a pet complements my lifestyle perfectly. During the week, I easily schedule morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship around my work schedule (which is flexible), and my tennis and pickleball activities. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible, allowing for extra walks, outdoor adventures, and quality time. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for is always a priority. I understand that leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and any special preferences or routines you’ve established. I also believe a calm, tidy home helps pets feel secure. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I do my own, keeping it clean, locked, and well maintained. I’ll make sure your pet has plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while also watching for any changes in behavior or health. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving excellent care until you return home.
About: I love all animals and all breeds. Since I was young I have been caring for and around numerous types and breeds of animals. I have learned that much like people every dog, cat, lizard, etc has its own personality and needs. Im ready and willing to give your pets the best care and love imaginable while you're away. Im not afraid of difficult animals with harder temperaments. Im patient and want to be your pets new friend. This will be one of the main ways I earn money in parallel with Uber eats. If I take a pet sit job it will be prioritized over UberEats. My days and nights are pretty open. Im a single father of an almost 3 year old little girl. She loves animals too and if your fur baby is ok with kids she would love to play as well. I will follow all stipulations and requests for your pet to help keep their routine and keep them comfy and happy. I have a decent sized property. Some fenced. Most open. We are out in chattaroy so not much of the city by us. If your pets like other dogs/animals we do have 3 dogs that regularly visit the property. They all 3 are extremely friendly and playful. As I said above I will follow all regimens and requests by owner to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tumtum on Rover is $40.51 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 610 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tumtum. 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 Tumtum 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 Tumtum 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 Tumtum 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 Tumtum. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
