“Emily was amazing house sitting for us! She’s so patient with our crazy dogs and left the house in great condition! She was great at providing updates everyday and so easy to get ahold of. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Anna is exceptional. Anna is very easy to talk to and extremely professional in the way she handled anything that arose. She had such a long stay with our animals while we were away and was on top of communication, daily routines, etc. I cannot stress how much we appreciate and how good it feels to have someone we trust with our pets while we're away. She also did a great job with random tasks that needed to be taken care of around the house such as taking trash out, medicating fish tanks, etc. I'd recommend her over and over again to anybody who needs somebody to stay with their pets!”
“Evelina was the best! I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else to watch our pups. She has great communication and gives the dogs love that they deserve!! HIGHLY recommend!! She treats your pets just like they’re her own. 🤍”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, as well as other animals like horses, poultry, cows, goats, sheep, etc. I look forward to getting to know your pet and helping you to make life a little easier. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so can make most schedules work, and nearly all schedules work with at least a little notice. I have a sweet medium sized dog named Missy who gets along with most dogs and loves to play, but cannot have cats in my home with her. We have a small, but well fenced in (6 foot wooden) back yard and dog door for easy in and out. There is a park just a couple of blocks away, and the neighborhood is great for dog walks.
About: I'm an animal lover, and I have been pet sitting for many years through friends and referrals, as well as through TrustedHousesitters. I've had animals most of my life, but none currently. I've also volunteered at shelters for many years, and I have trained and worked in animal rescue. I also volunteered doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, for which I received an honorary award from the Humane Society. I'm comfortable with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I have specialized experience with dogs, including dog behavior and dog rescue. I will take pride in providing excellent care for your animals, plants and home. I have many excellent reviews on TrustedHousesitters and Airbnb, and I can provide those links for reference. I work remotely on a flexible, part-time schedule, and I can tailor my schedule around my pet sitting commitments. My weekends often include hiking or trail running, and I'm also happy to take your dogs on hikes or runs if you'd like. Let's chat! I'm flexible with arrangements depending on the service I'm providing. - For pet sitting in your home while you're away, I would like a clean and comfortable space for me to settle in while caring for your animals. - For dog walks and/or drop-in visits, I'm very flexible. - Please just reach out to discuss details on these and other possible pet services. - Contact me for special pricing on long pet sits.
About: I'm a tidy introvert and dual citizen that loves to spend time with all kinds of animals. I have experience with pet sitting and dog walking and am happiest when hanging out with pets. I work remotely and I'm a homebody that will always be around for playtime. I love animals and the peace and calm that comes with pet sitting. I work remotely and I find myself with gaps of time that I very much enjoy spending my time with animals. I typically have open availability for pets sits and they are my favorite way to spend time with animals. I have pattern recognition and attention to detail. I have been pet sitting for awhile and am accustomed to adapting to many types of situations. I enjoy the presence and calm that comes with sitting and learning about the different personalities that come with taking care of animals.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hunter! From the very beginning he was professional, friendly, and responsive. He offered to come by beforehand so we could meet and feel comfortable, something we really appreciated. He is truly one of the nicest people we’ve met, and he took exceptional care of our two dogs during our 10-day trip. Hunter went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy, well-cared for pups and a peaceful house. I can honestly say I’ve never felt so stress-free leaving our dogs and home in someone else’s care. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can fully trust. We will absolutely be booking Hunter anytime we go out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!”
“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.”
“Maja was great again with my two boys! Leaves everything tidy and happy pets! Really appreciate her communication throughout the process and the care taken overall. 10/10.”
“Rin was great! Our cat was very comfortable and well taken care of. Rin was very communicative with me and I definitely recommend their services including house sitting. We felt secure in knowing our cat and home was in good hands”

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and small animals! I can pet sit in your home or host your pets at mine, depending on what works best for you! A little about me: 🐶I have a 7-year-old Doberman mix (my service dog), a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix, and a 4-year-old snake of my own! 🩺 l've been in the veterinary field since 2021, so I have lots of hands-on experience and knowledge, including advanced care when needed. 📸 I love sending pictures and videos so you can see how your babies are doing while you're away! I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs and make sure everyone is a good fit! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. Pet care is my current priority, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals I’m caring for. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning visits, midday check-ins, evening care, or overnight stays. I want to make sure your pets receive consistent attention and care while you’re away. With 6 years of experience in veterinary medicine and a lifetime of caring for animals, I understand how important safety, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s pets. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are always in a safe, comfortable environment. I’m experienced with recognizing changes in behavior, monitoring for potential health concerns, administering medications, and following specific medical or dietary instructions. I take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs, personality, and boundaries. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind.
“If you find a sitter on Rover who TRULY cares for and loves your animals… KEEP SUPPORTING THEM. Ryder is just amazing with our anxious dog and very attention-demanding cats. We are super grateful to have found him.”
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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dacono is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $62 per night.

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.
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 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 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.

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.
