“Sarah and Jim came to our rescue when our previously booked sitter cancelled shortly before our scheduled trip. We are so grateful for their flexibility and the care that they gave to our two senior girls. We returned home to very happy and relaxed puppers! We highly recommend their services!!”
“Ana was a fantastic dog sitter for us! She had great communication before the stay, had a really thorough meet and greet to make sure everyone was comfortable, and took great care of everyone while we were away. I was especially impressed with how she got our timid Great Dane to warm up to her so quickly. When we returned from our trip our house was clean and it looked like she wasn't even there. Would absolutely recommend Ana for pet and house sitting.”
“Jaclyn was great! She got along with our dogs like she knew them from day one of them joining our family. She went above and beyond to take care of them thank you so much to Rover and especially Jaclyn.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, including two of my own. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years, and I always treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! I’m also comfortable following feeding and walking routines and administering oral medications. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care.

I live in a pet-friendly community and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and daily walks. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family! 🐾
About: I've taken care of every kind of animal. Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters. I've also administered medication of many kinds and I am certified in Domestic cat + dog first Aid and CPR. All animals deserve love and care no matter how big or small! I am currently working part-time during the weekdays and on weekends in the late evening. My weekend available will change to be fully available after October. Either way, your pets are my first priority! Not all of my animals get along- I have an intricate schedule of alternating my cats and dog to make sure there are no fights or stressing factors. But there is always playtime for all the animals!
About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was born. I live on a farm and have been taking care of different animals as long as I can remember. I understand each pet has a different personality and I look forward to learning everything about them and accommodating in any way they may need. I work part time on the weekends but am free throughout the week to give your pet lots of love and the care they need. I have a fairly large yard and love going for walks. I also have a wonderful dog who is extremely friendly and slightly shy/awkward. Whatever enrichment your animal needs, I will do everything in my power to provide.

I live in a larger apartment in Cambridge near a park! As for larger dogs, I am happy to come your way so they don't need to leave the comfort of their space and have a yard to run around!
“Carol was absolutely amazing! She took care of our Nala girl for the fourth weekend! Not only did she help with fireworks she also made sure she was okay during one of the largest summer storms this year! We 100% recommend her and are so lucky we found her!”
“Shannon always goes above and beyond with our pups. She keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, and really goes the extra mile to make sure they are well taken care of.

About: As a furmama of 14 years to my sweet chocolate lab and now caring for my 3 year old German Short-haired Pointer I know how important they are to us. I have trained both of my pups to walk without pulling and at a heel. Would love to meet your furbaby and help get them some exercise while you are busy. I'm available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays anytime. I work full-time so during the week my flexibility is worked around my work schedule which fluctuates. Message me to check availability. I do have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old GSP that loves to play. I have had dogs my whole life and love to play and spend time with them as long as they are friendly.
“Alyssa was fantastic! I have a house full of different pets, and she did a fantastic job managing all of their unique scheduling and dietary needs. She kept us informed of how things were going, and the house looks like she wasn't even here ( with the exception that she cleaned the litter boxes and took out the trash even though we didn't ask her to do so). Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: my sister and i have been watching dogs for many years now and have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes ranging from Pugs to Belgian Malinois. We do have experience and are comfortable around dogs with disabilities such as blind or deaf. neither one of us currently work full time and 3 people live in our home so it’s pretty unlikely your pet will be left alone long if at all. rest assured there are zero other unconfined animals roaming around our house! we do not have a fenced in yard but your pet will be taken on as many walks as needed.

I am a student but all my classes are online this semester and so I am more than happy and available to watch pooches and kitties! (: I follow any and all instructions given to me by the owner in regard to dieting and safety restrictions etc. It’s important to keep pets and property safe.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon
Phoebe is an absolute pro! She is kind, considerate, and detail oriented. She clearly has a gift with animals. She stayed at my house with my two needy dogs while my husband and I were in Philly getting married. Weddings are stressful, but I TRULY didn’t stress about my pups at all, and that is the greatest wedding gift anyone could have given us! She left our house in better condition than we left it, and my dogs went outside to look for her when we came home! I really can’t thank you enough, Phoebe! :) I will absolutely book again!!
Cora is awesome! She was very responsive to our request for house sitting overnight while we were away. She was so wonderful with our dogs who are older. She gave them care and love and sent very thorough updates and pictures. I would recommend Cora for any pet sitting or overnight visits. Thank you Cora! The pups would love to see you again!
She was fantastic with my old small dog. My dog actually picked her which made me very relaxed and able to leave my dog with Camber. She communicated with me about my dog the exact amount to ease my nerves as my dog tends to be a Velcro dog I would highly recommend Camber she
Sarah was so great with our 2 dogs! We have Australian Shepherds who are picky with who they like and they took to her right away! She was willing to stay in our home and dog sit our furbabies while we left for a weekend getaway. And she was available on such short notice!! We felt so comfortable with all the communication and updates she sent, including pictures while we were gone. She has a lovely personality and super easy to get along with. She left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely be using Sarah again for help out our family. Thank you so much Sarah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vernon is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $91 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vernon. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
