“Christina did such a great job sitting for us in December! We have 2 senior dogs and 2 cats. Our dogs are both on various medications and have pretty specific care instructions. She was very attentive to detail and very communicative - which we really appreciate! Would definitely recommend her!”
“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”
“Mary was absolutely amazing! I’m pretty sure when we came home from vacation my dog was sad that she wasn’t coming back. She was attentive, loving, responsive and truly the best person for our pup when we couldn’t be there. We hope to use her again. Thank you Mary!!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our dog Reggie! It was the first time we left him and she was amazing about sending pics and updates! I couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she took of our puppy”
“Tara was amazing!! She was patient and kind with our anxious pup and won her over very quickly (an impressive feat!) And she was wonderful with our 2 month old puppy, making sure he napped when he needed and got to the bathroom. She is also generally a warm and caring person who loves taking care of pets. I will absolutely use her again!!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! I had a Golden Retriever for five and a half years who took daily medication, so I’m comfortable following specific routines and medication instructions. I’ve also fostered two dogs through rescue organizations, both of whom were successfully adopted. I’ve cared for four dogs through TrustedHousesitters and received 5-star reviews, and I’m the trusted dog sitter for family and friends. These experiences have given me the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work remotely full-time with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and your schedule. I live on my own with no other pets, so your pup will have my full attention! While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, there are plenty of grassy areas and sidewalks throughout my dog-friendly neighborhood that are perfect for walks and exploring. There are also plenty of friendly neighborhood dogs for pups who enjoy socializing, while everyone is respectful of dogs who prefer to have their own space. I’m happy to follow your pup’s comfort level and routine!
“We felt at ease with leaving Zahira with our anxious boy. She got here early to meet him and to know about the house. She was professional and provided great care for Zorro. Extremely happy and Zorro loved her. Thank you so much.”
“Rhonda is great with our dog Finn, he can be energetic and Rhonda handled it great. She communicated well- sent pics and gave updates throughout the stay! I’d highly recommend to anyone who wants to know their dog is being given all the attention and care!”
About: I have both an endless amount of patience for slower moving furry friends, as well as boundless energy for pets that need a little extra zoom to tire out! I have pet sat everything from rambunctious puppies and senior cats and dogs, to crested geckos and rabbits, so no animal is off the table! I have always loved and respected animals and I cannot wait to treat your pet like family! While I am on the job hunt, I have lots of free time throughout the day to walk your dog, hangout with your cat, and feed your pets! Depending on the service I'm booked for, I will arrive to your home ready for anything! I have shoes with great traction so I'm ready for an afternoon hike with your dogs, and I'm an avid reader so I'd be more than happy to hang on your couch with your cat for some snuggles! I have gone through some minor trainings at animal shelters for introducing myself to animals as well as training on what behaviors to recognize in dogs while out for walks to ensure a safe and fun time by all, so you can rest assured I will not put your pet into an uncomfortable situation while they are in my care. I am happy to follow all rules and guidelines you set for your home (I am usually a no-shoes inside kind of person so that rule will be followed regardless unless otherwise advised). And no need to worry about any additional "weird" requests on how your pet likes something done; I used to have a dog who wanted his dinner to be "cooked" on the stove or else he wouldn't touch it so nothing is too weird/silly for me to play along with. Overall I want your pet to have a pleasant and fulfilling time while spent with me and for you to have peace of mind while they are in my care.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover offering calm, attentive care in a comfortable, dog-friendly home. I live in a private residence with a fully fenced yard and host one dog at a time. I will accommodate 2 dogs from the same household. I’m a responsible, professional pet sitter with years of experience caring for dogs. To maintain a peaceful and safe environment, I’m best suited for calm, trained dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs, so everyone can enjoy a relaxed and happy stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule. My schedule can be modified to accommodate my clients needs. I love walking dogs for daily exercise I have a fenced yard so your dog will be safe going outside. I am trustworthy and dependable. I value privacy, and I always respect other peoples space. I live in a smoke free environment, clean and free from harmful elements.
“We recently went on a trip to the Bahamas and were lucky enough to find Dominique on Rover to care for our 9 year old bulldog, Rocky. From the moment we met her, we knew he was in great hands. During our time away, Rocky wasn’t feeling 100%, and Dominique handled the situation with incredible care, patience, and love. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and treated him like one of her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was there. We can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible sitter. Thank you, Dominique!”
“Was very nervous to leave my dog with someone he barely knew, as he is very slow to warm up to strangers. From the first meet and greet Aileen took diligent notes and was respectful of the space Henry needed to feel comfortable. She stayed with him for 2 nights while we were away & kept us updated the whole time with copious updates and photos (and a few videos too). She was also considerate of our home and left it secure, clean, and cared for— just like the dog. Whether it’s a walk or an overnight stay, will absolutely rebook with Aileen. 10/10 recommend”
“Carismeldi was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog, Izzy, during our 8-day trip. She stayed in our home, sent us photos and updates every single day, and took such thoughtful and attentive care of Izzy. When Izzy had a bout of an upset stomach, Carismeldi kept us informed and followed all of our instructions to a T, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible when our flight was delayed and happily gave Izzy one last walk later than originally planned. It was clear throughout her stay that Izzy was in very capable, caring hands. I would highly recommend Carismeldi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. We would absolutely have her watch Izzy again!”
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have a dog at home, but due to her reactivity I am unable to foster or adopt other animals. I love playing and being around all types of animals. I’ve housesat for my family and friends since I was about 13. I would love to help out and take care of your furry friends while you’re away! I am currently working Monday-Friday 9-5 during the week. So my availability would be Friday to Sunday, so if you need a weekend getaway I’m your girl! My home is unavailable for petsitting due to my dogs reactivity, so caring for your animal in your home would be mostly just following your rules! It’s important to learn your dogs usual schedule to help them feel more comfortable while you are away!
“Jillian went above and beyond for our dogs during her housesitting visit. She sends tons of photos, spends lots of time with the dogs during overnights, and goes out of her way to make sure they have plenty of treats. We all adore Jillian!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon
Lex was wonderful and Molly loved her. Lex would run around the backyard with Molly as she searched for sticks to chew. She updated us and sent pictures daily. We feel as if she’s part of our family now. I can’t give her enough stars for love and care she gave Molly.
Josh was wonderful. I have a large great dane, who is very well behaved, but a 175 lb. animal is alot to encounter. Josh was truly masterful in meeting and connecting with Gordon. He was timely, diligent, and quickly formed a comfortable rapport with Gordon as well as following through on feeding taking care of the house. I truly couldn't be happier.
We’re so lucky we found Veronique - great communication and really helped us out with a pretty last minute request. We felt confident leaving our dog with her after the meet and greet. He seemed very comfortable and happy with her and she left us with the cutest photo and report card.
Highly recommend Greg. He was thorough and professional during the meet and greet, leaving us feeling comfortable having him at our home. Our dog Bucky can be anxious around new people and situations, but immediately took a liking to him. It seemed llike they had a great time!
Tara was amazing!! She was patient and kind with our anxious pup and won her over very quickly (an impressive feat!) And she was wonderful with our 2 month old puppy, making sure he napped when he needed and got to the bathroom. She is also generally a warm and caring person who loves taking care of pets. I will absolutely use her again!!
Emily came through once again for Mr. Max! I felt so bad because I had just gotten him a new brand/flavor of chews and they just did not mix well with Max's belly, so Emily had to deal with a puppy with bubble guts! But Emily took it in stride, even made some white rice for him and by the next day he was back to his high energy, zoomie running, constant tug of war self. Thank you Emily for making this puppy mom feel at ease!
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our three pups, including two seniors with some special needs, and we felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home. She was incredibly thorough, asked lots of great questions, and made sure she understood all of their little routines and quirks. We really enjoyed having her and came home to three very happy, well-cared-for dogs. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house sitter!
I had a 2 week trip planned before deciding to adopt my foster dog. I was nervous to leave her as she was newer to my home. Christina did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of her! Walks, treats, play time and frequent updates with photos. I would highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting needs. She's the best and my dog Lucy loves her!
I can't say enough on how wonderful Dawn was with our dog Pebbles. She provided stability and cared about our dog as we do. She was very easy-going and provided us with daily updates. Pebbles was just rescued six months ago and suffers from separation anxiety. I saw no evidence of distress in Pebbles while we were gone or when we returned home. She was very happy and I am so pleased. Dawn will certainly be our go to when we travel.♥️🐾♥️🐾
Kiara did a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat last weekend, keeping them on a good feeding and walking schedule, hanging out with them, and providing medicine to my cat. She was responsive in a very timely manner, keeping me posted on how things were going throughout the weekend, with texts ad photos. My house was in perfect shape when I got home and my dog and cat were happy -- the best evidence that they had been well cared for and completely at ease with their sitter. Thanks, Kiara!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vernon is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $87 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 November 2026, there are 5,252 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 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
