“Sharon went above and beyond caring for my fur babies!! Extremely attentive to both of their special needs and was Johnny on the spot answering questions and providing pictures, as well as keeping my updated during the day of how things were going. She's a rockstar and would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“I truly cannot say enough about how great Jessica was! She made sure I was updated thoroughly throughout the weekend! She definitely went above and beyond! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alma is absolutely the best! I have a LOT of anxiety leaving my pets especially my puppy. I never had a moments worry with Alma. Her communication was excellent. The peace of mind she gave me was priceless. I definitely recommend her.”
“Kylee was so incredible!!! She watched 4 dogs for a whole week and took such good care of them. She was super responsive and gave me updates! It also was super rainy the last few days and with 4 dogs and our yard is super muddy/ floors not good with mud and dog fur, we fully expected to walk into a filthy house but to our surprise the house was spotless. She went above and beyond to make the house look amazing even in the rain! We really appreciate it and will be absolutely be using her again in the future for any needs we have!”
“Good communication and very attentive. Asked questions about my pet to get information that hadn't even occurred to me to provide, but was good to share. I will be sure to check his schedule the next time I have to go out of town!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a kid! I have experience with a wide range of pets from a small lizard to a big Great Dane. I worked with all types of animals and know that they are all unique and lovable! I have experience in all kinds of pet care from in home stays to stop in feedings and walks to providing special care like giving medications. I am currently in a part time position so I have a very open schedule for frequent check ins, early mornings and multiple walks! I am also able to do longer overnight stays due to my wide availability. Since I have a lot of experience with different pets I’ll create an open and loving environment for your pet by meeting them where they are and allowing them to grow trust by respecting their space and providing them with the care and attention they are accustomed to!
About: Experienced with dogs and cats, and a lifelong pet owner. I’ve provided both pet and house sitting and understand how important trust is when leaving your pets. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every home and pet with respect. I’m currently working toward becoming a real estate agent, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I prioritize being reliable, communicative, and consistent. As a lifelong pet owner with four cats, I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I follow all care instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Abbie was an amazing sitter! She was very attentive to our dogs, kept us updated, and was always present when we needed her. She took the dogs for walks and gave them plenty of care and attention. We really enjoyed having her as our sitter and would definitely have her back again! 🐾💕”
About: Not just have I grown up around animals of all kinds but I have taken care of several friends and families pets to ensure their well being while the owners were away. I currently am not limited to hours to come to care of your furry babies! I’m willing to work around most people’s needs within almost any hours!. I prefer to be able to go to your house to provide any care you’re seeing fit. Such as visiting your pet/animals keeping them active with play time, keep them outside as much as possible for exercise/potty time. I can make sure they are fed/watered. Just providing that time they need to get through the time you’re away.
“Great experience! She took excellent care of my dog and was very attentive. I really appreciated the regular updates and pictures while I was away. It made me feel confident that my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, I'm excited to welcome your fur buddy into our home. We will love them as our very own and keep them happy while your away. I've owned dogs since I was in elementary and have provided care for my family and friends. I work a flexible, hybrid schedule which makes it convenient to be available care for our fur guest. I'm off every weekend and will have a laid back daily routine for them. Walks, playtime, outside play and of course snuggles. I will accommodate each and every pups needs. I have a very safe home. Our back yard is fenced in with tons of running and exploring space. I will NOT keep aggressive dogs. If you know your dog is aggressive and doesn't get along with other dogs, please do not choose me. I have to ensure the safety for all of my babies. (Pups) As an extra precaution I ask for an updated picture of your dog's shots record. This provides transparency for all parties. I want to make sure that all if my babies are safe and healthy at all times.
“Morganne did an incredible job with our pets and home. Great communication and updates, pets were well taken care of and our house was clean and neat. Extremely thoughtful. I highly recommend.”
“Kylee was a delightful young woman, easy to communicate with and very responsive to Mya. She was excellent at keeping in touch with me both before and during her stay at my house. Mya was exhausted the next day which is a definite sign that Kylee had been very attentive to more than her basic needs, but gave her activity via petting, scratching and walking. I was 100 percent pleased with Kylee and will request her again when the next opportunity presents itself.”
About: I’ve been around plenty of small animals and animals are my world!! I’m a pet care tech for dogs at a daycare/boarding facility. I recently graduated from undergrad and work at an animal daycare/boarding facility. I work roughly 4 days a week or sometimes three it depends. My mission is to make sure your fur baby feels safe and protected while in my care. I would treat your baby as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old, 70 pound Rottweiler/lab rescue! I have 9 more animals and love being around them! Taking care of other people’s animals definitely helps me to keep from taking in anymore of my own! I recently moved out to st. Helena and am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to provide care! I have 10 animals, 5 of which are fur babies so I take care of them and have plenty of time to check on other animals! In your home I will be sure to make sure their bowls are cleaned and they are provided fresh water. I will be sure to clean up any mess they have made while under my care. I will play with them and make them feel loved!
“Tammy was an amazing pet sitter. She was super attentive and responsive. She left my house spotless and even washed the sheets for me. She did periodic check ins and sent photos of the pups.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 208 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dale. 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 Dale 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 Dale 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 Dale 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.
