“We felt totally comfortable leaving our precious Charlie (and our home) in Kaitlin's hands for several days and nights. She seemed to genuinely enjoy the time with our pup, and she was very quick to respond regarding a couple of requests while we were gone--that was greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend her to others looking for a Rover to dog-sit and house-sit.”
“Marya was by far the best river we’ve ever had. We’ve had a few in the past that weren’t great, so we were hesitant to use the service again, but we will absolutely use her again! We came home to a completely clean house, very happy dogs, sheets clean, and more. She is THE BEST option!!”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. Neighbors and other family members have hired me to watch their dogs, take their dogs out, feed their dogs, and wash their dogs. I have three dogs myself, one who is older, so I am comfortable watching any type of dog of any breed! I am currently working part time, and I can take off any day needed if requested at least two weeks in advance. I am off every Tuesday all day, and if needed, I can take off multiple days at a time to care for your dog! I am an active person, and I thoroughly enjoy taking dogs for walks multiple times a day. I will play with your dog until they cannot play anymore!

I am able to accommodate any time needs you might need. I am very well versed in keeping your fury family safe while in my care.

About: 🐾 Growing up in Mississippi, animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and currently have 5 fur babies of my own. I was raised around German Shepherds and have extensive experience with large, intelligent breeds that require consistency, patience, and confidence. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to my love for animals, I’m currently a nursing student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to providing quality care. I understand how important it is to follow routines, monitor, and communicate clearly with pet parents. I know leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like one of my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m used to staying organized and managing responsibilities, which helps me ensure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Since pet care is already a regular part of my life, adding your furry family member to my routine feels natural and enjoyable. Safety is always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any special needs before care begins. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and closely supervise pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. As a nursing student, I’m detail-oriented and comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of my families and my own dog for 5 years now. I mostly deal with larger breed dogs but I’m also open to smaller breeds as well. I often take care of my sisters 3 dogs while she’s out of town as well as my own dog that I care for full time! I’m fairly flexible when it comes to caring for your fur babies. Just let me know what time and I’ll see what I can work out for you! I’m also open to overnights on the weekends if needed! I have a large years with a line I can attach to the collar so your pup can freely roam while still staying in the yard and away from the street. I have a dog that can keep yours some company as well as a few cats that aren’t too afraid of dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Always taking strays home and even learning to administer medication and sometimes even ivs. I’ve also helped deliver puppies. I’m currently doing gig work but I have a super flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own so I make sure to fit my schedule around him. I have a golden retriever at home currently who is small for his age but healthy. He loves to play and will get along with anyone because he thinks everyone is his friend
“Jonaten and Elaine did an incredible job on taking care of my critters when I unexpectedly ended up in the hospital instead of going on vacation. In addition to walking my dog and dealing with the meds for the cats, they were very helpful when I got home and went the extra mile in so many ways. They are great pet sitters, and I highly recommend them!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Tupelo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tupelo on Rover is $16.65 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Tupelo 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 Tupelo 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 Tupelo 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
