“Karah is amazing, I highly recommend them! My dog was recently diagnosed with a spine issue and this is the first time I've left him with a sitter while he was having a flare up. Karah made me feel so comfortable, took excellent care of him, and was super communicative. Karah has such a calming, confident energy and it made my dog immediately at ease :)”
“Carley was amazing! She took such good care of our pups and made sure to tire them out while we were gone. One of our dogs is reactive to other dogs and Carley handled her perfectly. We felt so relieved that our pups were in such good hands. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Daylin was amazing with my Jack Russel 🐶, Jack. She sat him for 2 weeks while I was away on vacation and she provided daily updates and made sure he was always well fed and happy. I highly recommend, she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Sandy was amazing! We booked Sandy for house sitting. She made sure our dog and home were well taken care of and followed all the instructions for our dog's care. Sandy is very communicative and sent regular updates, photos and videos while we were away. We will definitely book her again.”
“We are the obsessed dog owners with a senior dog - Soren - who’s really been struggling this year. Sarah is the only sitter we trust and she’s been flexible and supportive - plus gentle and thoughtful with Soren. We have meds, a strict schedule, and she’s diligent and dependable. She’s helped us have a bit more of a life again and we went on vacation - she handled him for a week and was communicative the whole time!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
“Gabriana was so sweet and thoughtful with our anxious pup! She was punctual and very communicative. Looking forward to having her take care of our pup again.”
“Cory watched my boys at my home for over a week. She was so good to them and kept me updated all week. She also took very good care of my home. I highly recommend her for any and all services!”
About: Greetings! My name is Brian. I’m from Los Angeles, CA. I believe what sets me aside from other sitters and walkers. Is the engaging experience to learn each and unique different breed of dogs. Having said that I want to be able to provide a wonderful experience not only for the owner but along with there furry friend that there in good hands. At the end of it all I hope getting into the Rover team give the life opportunity to help establish a career in caring for all shape and sizes creatures in the world. Couldn’t have found a more better way to create and engage with our furry friends to let others know that we can help one another in anyways possible. Thanks!
“Taylor did an amazing job watching my dog Bugsy. She was on time, followed instructions, kept me updated on how my dog was doing and was instantly a best friend and safe person for my anxious dog. I can’t wait to have Taylor watch Bugsy again :)”
About: I know leaving your fur baby with someone can be nerve wracking - I’m here to be a fun, safe experience for your fur babies so you can feel confident and relaxed. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and they’ve lived long happy lives 💕 I love both cats and dogs, and currently have a 3-yo Heeler boy. I am a freelance creative with a flexible schedule, so providing care for your pets is a rewarding experience that fits into my flexible routine! I offer drop-ins, overnight sitting in your home, so your pet can feel comfortable and with as little disruption as possible to their regular environment and routine. I also offer walks.
“Jacqueline was amazing while she house sat our two elderly dogs. Best of all, not only did she take care of our pups, but she kept our place clean. Constant updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, giving me firsthand experience with their unique personalities, needs, and proper care. More recently, I was a member on another pet sitting website when I was a student at a university in Paris,France, where I had experience taking care of dogs and cats in my own apartment for a few different families for a period of time. The best part about watching pets is the pleasure I get from being able to give them love while their owners were away. I am open to pet sitting weekdays and weekends. I work during the week with days off in between. Early mornings and late nights are no problem. I’ll closely follow a pets routine, providing fresh water, food as instructed, exercise/playtime, medication if needed, a safe environment, and of course lots of love and affection.
About: Hi, growing up I had a lot of pets. Currently I have 5 pets. I’ve always enjoyed the companionship of dogs. Everyday I care for my dog with simple love and care, walking, feeding, cleaning. Hi I am currently in college but I am free in the afternoon most weekdays. I like to keep thursdays for myself so I most likely won’t do them. I can watch pets either inside or outside the house. My pets go outside to the front yard and inside the house. I live in a safe neighborhood where other dog owners enjoy walking their dogs as well.
About: I'm new to Rover, but very much not new to pets! I've volunteered with my local Humane Society, as well as worked for an overnight kennel service. In both of those situations, I was largely placed with dogs - giving them playtime, food, treats, and oral medication - although we also served cats. While kennels are an option, it's better to keep a pet in their own home whenever possible. Which is where I come in! I'm currently WFH so my schedule is flexible at the moment. [WALKS] I'm able to give walks in my service area from roughly 9am to 6pm. I can comfortably take up to 3 small dogs at a time, or two medium sized dogs. I'm open to walking large breeds (Labrador sized or bigger) if they are solo. If you have mixed sizes, please reach out and we'll talk about it. [HOME SITS] If your pet needs medication or walks either very early or very late, I recommend booking an overnight. I'm the farthest thing from a party animal and will guaranteed be indoors with your pet from 8pm to 7am. During the day, I will most likely be working (home office space a huge plus!) or stepping out for a few hours to run personal errands. If I have late night plans for any reason, I will clear it with you ahead of time. Will provide at least one update per day during my visit, including photos. We can also go over emergency plans and vet contact info during the meet-up.

Sandy is an exceptional and caring dogsitter. She cares deeply for the animals she cares for, is extremely thoughtful about your home and truly is a kind and gentle soul.

A million thanks, Sandy!!! the peace that you give our minds is invaluable.
Cory is the best! Our pup absolutely fell in love with her while we were away. She kept the house tidy and organized and made sure to ensure bono was always happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and will be seeing her again next time we leave town.
Anel was amazing and took great care of my dog on my wedding day! She was super sweet and made sure I had peace of mind and wasn’t worried about my dog on my big day. I would recommend Anel to anyone that wants a loving person watching after their pet. Thank you a million Anel!!
We were a bit nervous about leaving our baby with someone new, especially while staying in our home, but Deanna was absolutely perfect!

We will definitely book Deanna again without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vernon is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 14,743 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vernon. 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
