“Cari is great with my boyz - they settled in easily with her and she gave really nice updates while we were away. Very mature, responsive and responsible- the kind of person you want watching your fur- babies🥰”
About: I've owned and been around dogs my entire life, so I'm comfortable with all sorts of personalities! I really enjoy volunteering at the humane society and helping out dogs in need. I'm quick at responding and will send you texts and photos throughout the day to help ease your mind! My schedule is pretty open at the moment! I'm free weekdays mid-day as well as night, and occasionally weekends, but I am flexible with timing to fit your needs. I'm very organized, respectful of your home, and strictly follow every instruction. I make sure to follow the routine so your pet is comfortable and relaxed while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of a wide array of dogs, ranging in size and age. I also have experience working with dogs with disabilities and senior pups I coach youth students how to play a variety of sports for a couple different school districts. I provide dog services on a daily basis whether it walks or just playing with them. I do my best to get down the pups routine so they feel at home, even when their family is away. I’m respectful of boundaries toward both the family and the dog
“Communicative, helpful, and goes above and beyond. Even with my chaos and last minute requests, Lisa was kind and communicative. Not to mention my dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home!”
“Karen was amazing with our puppies! She was incredibly responsive, professional and thoughtful. She asked great questions making sure she knew how to take care of the animals and the house while we were gone. She offered to help out in so many ways and sent many pictures and updates while we were gone. We will 100% use her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Lorraine did a great job taking care of our pup and house. She was very communicative, and our dog seemed like he had a great time! Our house was also as clean as we left it, if not cleaner. We’re grateful for Lori for caring for our dog. Thank you!”
“Best dog sitting I have ever experienced. Great daily updates. My dog is on medications for seizures and it appears all went well. House was well kept - videos show my dog enjoyed the company. Alicja simply is the best and made my vacation stress free knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“My pups love Natasha. She asked detailed questions to make sure she and my pups were prepared to spend the day together. My pups have big personalities and can be a little tricky but I knew they were in great hands. Book Natasha! You won't regret it and your furry friend will thank you.”

“Emily was courteous, professional, and timely. She left our house clean and tidy, even did some laundry we never asked her to do, and took great care of our dog and two cats for a last minute booking. She even worked on teaching our dog a new trick, and kept good communication the entire stay. I would highly recommend her for your next trip!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dellwood
Téa makes us feel so much better about leaving our pups behind while we are away. She is very thoughtful about sending us updates and is super responsive with her communication. I can tell she really prioritizes our dogs’ needs by the level of care she gives and the amount she goes above and beyond for them!
Joel is amazing! We are grateful that we connected with him. Joel is an excellent communicator, while away we had daily updates with pictures. Upon return, our dogs were happy and I could tell they had been very well cared for. And, our home was probably left better than we left it! Evidence of a kind and conscientious soul. Thank you, Joel! You are the best!
Kaitlin did another fantastic job caring for our two French Bulldogs. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. She was dependable, communicative, and gave them plenty of attention. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Courtney was absolutely awesome with Bubba. We got pictures every day. She took him for many walks and we could tell he was well loved while we were out of town. She left the house clean and picked up. We will definitely be hiring Courtney again!! She is the best!

The average cost of House Sitting in Dellwood is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $54 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Dellwood 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 Dellwood 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 Dellwood 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.
