About: Hi I’m Josie and animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I currently work in the boarding department at a veterinary clinic, where I care for dogs and cats by feeding, administering medications when needed, monitoring their health and behavior, cleaning kennels, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable during their stay. I’m also attending school to become a veterinary technician, which is expanding my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and proper care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I currently work in the boarding department at a veterinary clinic and am attending school to become a veterinary technician. My schedule allows me to provide reliable pet care before or after work, on weekends, and during many weekdays. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Because I work in a veterinary clinic, I have experience recognizing changes in behavior and caring for pets with different needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines you provide. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet like one of my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I volunteer at a dog shelter that deals with all ages and comfortably around new people. This allows me to pick up on dogs needs and adjust accordingly. I am currently working full time 4 days a week. This allows me a more flexible schedule to help take care of dogs through the week and weekends. I have experience with dogs that bolt when doors are opened outside and know how to block them properly. When helping with potting breaks they can be play breaks to get rid of excess energy. I have experienced teaching dogs to walk on a leash with and without a harness.
“Amber is amazing, she came over and our dogs took to her immediately. Our oldest puppy can be a little challenging due to her being skittish, but Amber’s personality and energy helped ease her nervousness. Very reliable, and was able to help us out on short notice. I HIGHLY recommend!”
“Barbara was an amazing Rover. She was very communicative, accommodating. and demonstrated a true caring for our puppy. We grew to trust her implicitly with his well-being as well as taking care of our home. Our dog Duncan was a little spicy. He is a 10 month old puppy who definitely kept her on her toes, kept her up at night, but she never lost her positive attitude and ability to see him for the adorable rambunctious little guy he is. We cannot recommend Barb enough for your needs, and we will have no hesitation to use her in the future.”
“Brandi is absolutely a treasure, we are so grateful to have her as our puppy caretaker while we are away. Our puppies absolutely love her! Our Bailey is very shy and a bit skittish, but Brandi has won her over with her kind and sweet demeanor. We always know our pups are in great hands when Brandi is here with them. 🐾🩷”
“Tara is absolutely awesome! From our first introduction to caring for Farley, she was fantastic! Communication with us made us feel so reassured that our dog was so well cared for while we were gone! Thank you so so much!! Farley loved her too!”
“Susana was amazing! Our three pets can sometimes be a little shy, but they warmed up to her very quickly. She kept in touch with us sending lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She even vacuumed. The house was very clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care our three small dogs received from Abigail! They were clearly loved and well looked after — happy and relaxed when we returned. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs can be a handful, but they were calm and content thanks to the patient, attentive care. Absolutely a **5-star experience** — we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Adrianne was a great pet sitter. She confirmed quickly and set up a meet and greet. My Cavapoo gave her hugs and kisses as soon as she arrived. He likes longer walks and she was awesome to explore nearby trails and parks with him. Adrianne is personable and professional.”
“We have two elderly dogs that need kindness and someone to lay around with them. Vonnie was perfect! She was able to be with them. We will definitely book with her again..”
“Kayla did a great job watching my Bella and staying at my place. Returned this evening and everything was tidy and clean. Bella was very happy! I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs! Thanks again Kayla!!!!!”
“Dominique completed his second house sit for my two pups (6 nights) and we continue to endorse him as a qualified / reliable sitter! Communication again proved to be consistent. Water bowls were full and my house was just how I left it. My large dogs are prone to acting out if they do not get enough attention (especially over long periods). It was great coming home and not seeing any indication of unsatisfied pups. Fully recommend!”
About: My name is Alexis, I have always been the person to ask if i can pet your dog! I love all animals and would love to meet as many lovely pets as I can! I am available during the weekdays anytime and available on most weekends. I was a lead kennel attendant at a doggie dorms, I was the animal care manager for my agriculture classes in High School and have been dog sitting for family and family friends for a years. I have never been without a dog in my household. Right now I live with 1 pup of my own, she is a 6 year old old yellow lab! I have always had bigger dogs in my home and prefer to work with bigger dogs or puppies, but am not opposed to working with small dogs. I am good with dogs who may have a "special" case. For example I home sit for a 4 dog home which includes a Rottweiler, Black Lab, Miniature Pinscher, and Pug mix. The two big dogs can't be in the same room together but that doesn't mean they both don't deserve love. I also volunteered with Lucky Mutts Rescue and help to do the "puppy pickups" where we drove to Oklahoma to rescue dogs and bring them to Wisconsin! I've worked with animals since I was 11 an would love to meet as many dogs as possible! I am free any time during the week currently, I am home 24/7 and free on most weekends for all the play time with the pups! I do not have a fenced in yard but I live on a large plot of land, that is tucked behind a lot of trees, I have a lot of space for running and playing.
“Jordan was fantastic! She did a great job housesitting and taking care of our dog and other animals while we were away. Our dog is very anxious when separated from us, and hasn't done well boarding in the past. This was our first experience with a sitter in home, and Jordan made the process super easy! Winston loved her, Jordan kept us up to date with regular communication...I can't say enough good things! We'll definitely re-book with her in the future! Thanks Jordan!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. when I was a kid I would bring home abandoned kittens and feed them with a dropper. I’ve had a total of 5 dogs throughout my life that were great and loyal fur babies. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were mine. I will work with your routine and what needs to be done for them. Im here to make sure that a beat isn’t missed while you’re gone. I will work around their schedule to make sure everything is done for them correctly. As I mentioned earlier I will work around your animals schedule to make sure they are taken care of. I want them to feel safe and for you to have piece of mind.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vernon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vernon on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,423 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 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 Vernon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
