About: At my house your fur baby(s) will be treated like they are my own! I work at a doggie daycare right near my house, they will get lots of potty breaks and plenty of time to run around and play with my dog or if you prefer they can have one on one. I have a split level with 3 bedrooms so I am very capable of separating dogs from people and other dogs and I’ve worked in daycares where we had to shuffle dogs around due to their preference and needs. My yard is in the process of being fenced (as of August 2020) so I bring dogs to the dog park down the road from my house! For house sitting I am more limited on my schedule as I have my son most of the time except every other weekend. I can do drop ins anytime from 6am-9am and 3pm-9pm. I will make your pup or kitty feel right at home while you are enjoying your trip! I provide daily check ins, with either a FaceTime call to see your little buddy or photo/video sent in text messages! Your pet will also go home with a report card on how well he or she was for me! I have 5 years of experience working at dog boarding/daycare facilities, I started for vet tech at Globe, I own an Aussie border collie mix of my own, I've grown up with dogs, I have worked at pet's mart for 2 years with animal care. I also worked at a dog shelter and I've trained dogs as well. I've house sat for many people's dogs too! I want to continue my passion I Also have a certification in dog training from animal behavior college and have successfully trained dogs since. I have years of experience in dog sitting and cat sitting I even have been in charge of watching over a whole horse ranch which includes breeding Aussies. I love it and want to continue my experience. ****** I do allow dogs on the couch IF the owner okays it. I will do my best to accommodate the dogs stay so they have a positive experience and get a little pampered while you’re away******
“Madelyn home sat our two puppies while we were in Europe for 2 weeks. She communicated well and ensured our dogs and home were kept safe. I would highly recommend her and will be booking with her in the future. Thanks Madelyn!”
“Hope did a great job watching my dog Charlie. She was communicative and gave him a lot of love and special attention. She picked up the booking with only a couple days notice (life saver) and even made time in her day to make sure to give him a walk - even walking him on the day that we got home.”
“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”
“Tanya was great! Penny, my golden doodle adored her. We got frequent updates and updates and pictures of Penny. My house was spotless when I got home. We will definitely ask Tanya to watch our Penny again!! Thank you Tanya!❤️”
“Jessie took GREAT care of our two energetic pups while we were away. We knew they were safe and loved. She also left our home neat and organized: a total pleasure to return to when we got back. Her communication is excellent! Thank you, Jessie!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about four years and worked in a veterinary hospital for three years. I have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even farm animals. With my veterinary experience, I understand animal behavior and basic medical needs, allowing me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time as a waitress, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, consistent care for pets. When I have advance notice, I can adjust my work schedule to accommodate pet sitting needs. For overnight stays, I prioritize spending most of my time in the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I like to follow routines, maintain a clean and secure environment, and provide plenty of attention and supervision. With my past experience, I’m attentive to behavior changes and health needs to ensure safe, reliable care.
About: I love animals! I have 3 of my own! I work from home and I can stop by play with your animals and let them out to go potty! I love cats, dogs, and lizards. I can house sit for a few hours but I am unable to provide overnight care due to having my own animals. I can however recommend someone else who has overnight care experience who watched my animals just ask! I work from home so I am able to take my computer with me wherever I go as long as there is internet! Only able to stay for a few hours 2-4 hours for a check in During summer months walks will be under 30minutes and rate of $25 due to buyness of season and it being too hot, i will not walk your dog in hot weather for more than 15minutes and if its 90degrees and will be adjusted for times of morning hours to later in evening due to weather- I can take pictures, I let my dogs sleep on my furniture they have beds of their own, I feed my dogs twice a day.
“Brooke is a so amazing with our gentle giant and always leaves the house better than she found it. We trust and appreciate her staying in our home anytime and loving on our pup so well. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond to take care of our home and dog while we are away. We definitely recommend Brooke and will 100% hire her again!”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
About: Have a family of 3 dogs and 2 cats and my family and I love our messy and hyper fur kids, no matter the situation we do research to avoid getting our fur kids sick and keep them feeling loved and relaxed :) I graduated from college this past summer and am working part time jobs so I have time to take care of friendly pets of any kinds and more than happy to house sit as well for any vacations! We have a fenced yard and we have a crate to put them in when they are doing naughty behaviors like digging through the trash or grabbing things (like food on the table) when they aren’t supposed to. I take them on walks and give them toys to play with as they love tug of war and enrichment toys to keep them busy while we are otherwise we cuddle and watch tv on the couch in my free time.
About: I've never had a dog before but I've always been drawn to them and plan to have one of my own in the future. I have dog sitted for some of my friends in the past and it allowed me to gain experience on caring for a pet without having one I work full time but I am available during the weekdays and weekends as needed. I can also stay overnight depending on the day! As long as it is communicated beforehand :) I don't currently have any pets but when I did, I was creative and quick witted to come up with safe, reliable ways to restrict my pet from going into a place they are not supposed to. For example, when I had a cat I used a very tall room divider to prevent my cat from going where he wasn't supposed to.
“LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE, Maliah! She's welcome back anytime! Mace absolutely LOVED her and so incredibly happy to have been blessed with this result being a 1st time Rover user! :). THANK YOU!”
About: Hello! I’m a dog lover and behavior-focused pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to spend their time being themselves, feeling comfortable, and having fun! 🐶 3+ years of professional experience working with dogs in daycare & boarding settings 🏡 Experienced with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. 🐾 I have dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog is an individual and should be treated like family 🧠 Currently studying dog behavior and training and always learning more 👀 Strong understanding of canine body language and behavior, including recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, excitement, and relaxation 💕 I let your dog lead the way — whether they want to play, sniff, explore, cuddle, relax, or simply have some quiet time 🌿 I believe dogs should have choices whenever safely possible rather than being pushed into activities they aren’t comfortable with 🚫 Fear, pain, and intimidation have no place in my care. I use gentle, positive, and respectful handling with every pet My goal is simple: your dog gets to have a staycation that feels like it was made just for them. 🐾 I’m an online student and a freelancer, so I make my own schedule and I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friend! No need to worry about any schedule restrictions. Safety & well-being always come first — I closely monitor your dog, make sure their physical and emotional needs are met, and give them choices while keeping their safety a priority. I follow any and all instructions to a T and will always keep a close eye on your fur baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 375 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dalbo. 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 Dalbo 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 Dalbo 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 Dalbo 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.

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.
