“Mariah was great to have, we had her watching our dog for 2 weeks, she was great at communicating with us and we never had to worry about our dog. We knew he was in great hands!”
“Kayla was amazing with our two senior pups! Our normal sitter cancelled last-minute for a two week trip, and she helped my anxiety so so much. Daily walks, check-ins with pictures, and lots of love kept our dogs happy and healthy while we were away I would not hesitate to use Kayla's services again!”
“Dani was fantastic! Communicative before and during her stay, provided updates about how our pup was doing (he's a puppy and this was our first time away from him), and sent photos. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Claire was super communicative and we could tell she gave our dogs the proper care but also love we want for them with a sitter. She respected our space impeccably, leaving it even better than she found it.”
“Saliha did an amazing job taking care of our cats. She is detail oriented, communicative, and flexible. I can tell that she really loves animals and treats the pets she watches as her own. She sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated. She followed all the instructions we gave her and did even more. I was nervous to leave our cats, as we had just moved, but she helped our cats feel comfortable immediately. Saliha also helped take out moving boxes which was so kind and unexpected!! I would definitely recommend Saliha to other pet owners, especially if you have a shy cat who is picky about who they like!”
About: I’m a self‑employed professional with plenty of time, energy, and love to give your pets. Throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of other animals, and I truly miss having warm, affectionate companions around — even part‑time. I’m extremely responsible, flexible with scheduling, and committed to providing attentive, loving care for both your pets and your home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just cozy cuddle sessions, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe and adored while you’re away. I drive a mid‑size SUV, so transportation for both small and larger dogs is never an issue. I’d love to support you and your beloved pets however I can. Thank you for considering me! I am self-employed and make my own schedule. I have no children and plenty of free time and I adore all animals. Horses, birds etc... I am extremely responsible and happy to care for your pets in your home. I also have horse care experience if needed. I love animals.
“Jenna was awesome and took great care of my pup and the house. She checked in, sent pics, and responded quickly if I had a question. I highly recommend Jenna and will be in touch with her again for our next trip.”
“Janelle took great care of our dogs and our house. She sent twice daily updates and lots of photos. She is the perfect combination of professional and sweet. She went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time using Makia as a sitter and we will absolutely be using her as a regular sitter moving forward. She is communicative, thoughtful and even went above and beyond by transitioning our dog to a new Rx diet while we were gone. I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Aro was absolutely fantastic with our babies while we were gone on vacation. They sent us updates all the time and were very good about following our instructions. They even transported our pups to daycare after the stay was over which was very much appreciated. I would recommend Aro to anyone in need of pet care and we will definitely be using them in the future.”
“Adriana watched our dog Maverick over our wedding weekend. She took the time to come meet Maverick and us before watching him. She sent us updates and pictures all weekend long. We were able to relax and enjoy our weekend knowing our dog was in good hands. We will certainly reach out to Adriana in the future for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving fresh water, playtime, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that every animal has their own comfort level and routine. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m flexible with my schedule and will work with you to make sure your pet receives consistent, dependable care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I communicate clearly with pet parents and make sure I arrive on time and provide the care your pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs, and I always follow their care instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated during visits and treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own.
“Brenna was once again wonderful with Koshka and Quito! She was great to communicate with and sent us pictures every day. We came back from our trip to happy, healthy kitties! We highly recommend her.”
“Bryson did an awesome job with our two dogs. One is an older, sweet labradoodle but the other is a young, strong, stubborn giant schnauzer. He took care of them both perfectly - they miss him already! Bryson was also very communicative with me and helped me manage an unexpected scenario at my house while I was out of town. I was very grateful. Already asked him to come back again!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. This includes daily feeding, cleaning food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, letting pets outside, walking dogs, and providing regular playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, including giving pills and syringe medication, and I always follow care instructions carefully. I’m especially patient with nervous or shy dogs and take a calm, slow approach that allows them to feel safe and in control. I also have experience managing multiple dogs at once and have completed drop-in pet sitting visits, making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and given attention while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and finish at 3 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons for dog walks or drop-in visits. I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and house rules, to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I take a calm, patient approach with every pet. Especially those who are nervous or shy, so they feel secure and in control. I never rush interactions and always respect your pet’s boundaries. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your home is left just as you left it. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dacono
Daniela did an excellent job watching our dog Rascal, our home, and my garden while we were gone for a week. She even took care of the sheets she stayed in and put our trash out on trash day! She took excellent care of our fur baby and was highly communicative. I will sing her praises from the rooftops!

The average cost of House Sitting in Dacono is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $50 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.

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 Dacono 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 Dacono 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Dacono 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.
