About: I have alot of experience caring for dogs and have always loved being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting on most weekdays. I make sure pets get the exercise, playtime, and care they need while keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any special care.
“As usual, Allie is a rockstar and we couldn’t be happier with her level of care for our frenchies and cats! She consistently goes above and beyond as a house/pet sitter. Our fur babies love her and it is evident she loves them too. We are incredibly thankful we found her and will continue to call upon her when we have the opportunity to travel.”
“As always, we love Ana! We were away from our pups for 8 nights and knew Roxie and Robyn were being well taken care of. Ana sent messages and pics daily and kept us up to date. We always appreciate her care and love for our most precious family. Thank you, Ana!!!”
“Ryan is a fantastic dog and house sitter who loved on my dog Brady and gave him great care. He is so calm and responsible that I didn’t have a care in the world while being away for two weeks. I walked into my home just as I had left it and I think an even calmer dog than when I left him in his care. My flight was cancelled and he even stayed another night and brought him to Pet Paradise for a day of play when asked. I highly recommend Ryan as you couldn’t ask for a more helpful and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thanks Ryan for everything!!”
“Alondra was wonderful! She made sure she fully understood my dogs and my needs before she accepted our booking request. She was always on time and was great at reaching out to me with pupdates along the way. We will gladly be a returning client and are happy to have Alondra as part of our dogs care team. She absolutely gave me peace of mind while traveling without my doggo by my side.”
“Andrew was great. My maltipoo, Leonard, took to him right away. Andrew is very kind, responsible and was very good with Leonard. Andrew took him for a walk every day of his sit. He also kept me posted with a daily picture. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”
“Toni did a great job house and dog sitting for us! She sent pics, is very kind, conscientious, and clean! She made sure the dogs were happy in our absence. We could tell they had a good week when we got home. I highly recommend Toni, and we would absolutely use her again.”
“JaNiya took amazing care of my dog Finch! I’m so grateful to her even in short notice she was able to help me out. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and easygoing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Liberty was amazing! She is super sweet and quick to communicate back and forth. She took care of our sweet girl like she was hers! She was also incredibly flexible with our change of travel plans. We would trust her over and over again!”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Lauren was phenomenal!! She took great care of our fur babies and even left the house in better shape than she found it! She sent us regular updates, responded quickly to communication, and our babies seemed very well cared for upon our return. I can't say enough how grateful we were to have her and will absolutely be requesting her care again!”
“Charish was absolutely wonderful! She communicated consistently throughout the stay and took such great care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I also came home to a clean house, which was such an added bonus. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Chas was awesome! One of my dog had a health issue while I was away and she was quick to spot it and even went to the store to get him the required medication. She definitely went above and beyond and I highly recommend booking her.”
“Cortney took amazing care of my pack of 3 dogs and a pig. She updated me throughout the weekend and I came home to happy fur babies and a clean house. I highly recommend Cortney.”
“Stevie stayed in my home with Miley and Parker for four days and took incredible care of both of them. She made sure they received all of their medications, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave them so much love and attention. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs and a house that was just as I left it. Knowing they were so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'll be booking Stevie every chance I get... so get in line! 😊”
“Keelee did an amazing job. I am a little paranoid when it comes to my animals being taken care of and knowing how she took care of them gave me piece of mind. I would definitely use her again.”
“Michelle house sat for a week while we went on a beach vacation and was fantastic. She sent pictures and videos every day of our dachshund Banjo and checked in every night to tell me how his day went. Even our neighbors raved about how attentive she was in the backyard with Banjo always giving him pets and playing fetch. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“This was our first time with Shamon and we will definitely book with her again. Arthur was well taken care of. She sent pictures to us throughout the whole stay. Everything was clean and looked the same as when we left. She was awesome!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dalton
Kyle was an exceptional dog sitter to our 4 pups. He gave us updates on them from the first day we left, and then numerous times a day each day we were gone. He went above and beyond our expectations. He cleaned, did laundry , took out trash and even vacuumed floors. Couldn't ask for anything more. We would highly recommend Kyle to anyone needing his service!
Alondra was wonderful! She made sure she fully understood my dogs and my needs before she accepted our booking request. She was always on time and was great at reaching out to me with pupdates along the way. We will gladly be a returning client and are happy to have Alondra as part of our dogs care team. She absolutely gave me peace of mind while traveling without my doggo by my side.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dalton on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dalton. 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 Dalton 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 Dalton 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 Dalton 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.
