“Zandra did an amazing job- our three cats were so well taken care of, we got lots of great updates and our house was spotless on return. We couldn’t ask for more- 10 stars! Thank you Zandra!!!!”
“10/10 would recommend! High level of communication, honest and trust worthy. I will be hiring Jedan again for any of my overnights and drop ins schedule permitting :).”
“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”
About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up, my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house; so throughout my life I have gained experience caring for puppies all the way up to seniors. I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. Helping people care for pets on Wag seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
“Evan is a ROCKSTAR! ⭐️ 100/10 stars! Dobby usually barks when meeting new people, but he took to Evan immediately—which says a lot! Evan was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and attentive, and he did an amazing job taking care of Dobby and communicating with us throughout the entire stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing Dobby was in such great hands. We will ABSOLUTELY ask for Evan as our first choice every time in the future. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
About: Hi!✨ I’m a lifelong animal lover who has always had pets as a big part of my household. While I haven’t worked professionally with animals, I’ve spent years caring for many different types of pets, especially dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m looking to fill my time between my photography and turn something I genuinely love into meaningful work. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care when you need! Will also provide cute photos if requested! 😊💕 (Dogs over 100 pounds may not be the best fit as I am similar in size!🥲) My schedule is very flexible! I’m a real estate photographer, so my hours tend to vary. I can usually make any day of the week/time work! 🌞 I’m happiest caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine! I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while you’re away💖

About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have owned a variety of breeds. I have been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors who have all had a variety of breeds. I have experience with providing medication to dogs and separation anxiety/anxiety in general. I will love them as much as you do as I spoil them with love and affection. I work from home during the day, Monday through Friday, allowing for care of the pet(s) during the day. I have 2 breaks and a lunch during the day and am flexible to take the dog(s) out to go potty when needed. I can adjust my schedule to meet the normal environment in your house. I also can meet with the dog(s) ahead of time to ensure that they will feel comfortable with me when I start dog sitting as well as you the owner.
“Olivia was a great sitter for Gordon. She was willing to meet beforehand to go over things. And asked questions as needed. Going by the pictures and updates she provided, Gordon took to her and he was content while she was here. I will definitely use her pet/house sitting services again.”
“We had a great experience with Emina and Jackson. They did so good with all our dogs with their varying personalities. Also they were very accommodating when we requested an extra day. Overall great experience and would use them again.”
“Yianna was extremely professional and wonderful to my dog. She was very loving to my pup, who requires multiple medications. She was great with check- ins and very responsive to questions. She was respectful of our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would use her in the future.”

About: I have raised many dogs over my lifetime. My most recent dog to have passed was a pit bull and I love all breeds of dogs big and small. I am very experienced in providing consistent behavior support to dogs and am open to learning your styles and preferences so that your time away is beneficial for you and your fur child. I recently had a baby and just reactivated my profile here. I will need to bring the baby with me however she isn’t mobile yet and will likely not have much interaction with your pet.

You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me
“Kayla was amazing, this was our first time using the app and it was such an amazing experience. She stayed with Rosco while I had to go into the office. She played with him, fed him, and took him outside. She was also sending updates throughout the day and pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future to help us with our boy Rosco.”

Kari was amazing! We were extremely nervous to leave our 4 dogs for a week. Kari came over twice to meet the dogs prior to our trip. During our trip she kept us up to date the entire time which put a lot of stress at ease and we knew they were in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone! We will be using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dauphin on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 618 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dauphin. 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 Dauphin 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 Dauphin 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 Dauphin 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.
