“Emily was great with our dog Beau! I am always nervous having a new sitter stay with him since he’s a senior pup with some special quirks/routine/meds but Emily did a great job and even spoiled him with several walks. The regular photos and updates helped ease my anxiety and he was so happy and calm when we returned.”
“Betsy was fantastic with our 2 dogs and cat. She provided regular updates (with some humor as we have a goofy golden retriever) and photos. The dogs absolutely loved her. Thanks again Betsy for caring for our pets!”
“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
About: I will walk your doggy all summer long! I am reliable and trustworthy! I will always take good care of your babies, keep them happy and hydrated :) Available in the mornings all summer, in the afternoons until the end of the school year. Available on weekends as needed. Drop ins or walks. I have a dog and two cats. I prefer not to do dog sitting in my home because the cats don’t care for dogs.
“After meeting Brenda at our Meet & Greet, I had peace of mind that our four dogs (14-80 pounds) were going to be well cared for during our vacation, as well as our aquarium and pond fish. Brenda has a confident and calm demeanor that animals can sense, as well as a true love and passion for animals. She even took on additional duties of walking the dogs, putting out and bringing in bird feeders daily, mail and garbage duties, and maintaining the house perfectly. Brenda communicates promptly while you're away with any questions or concerns. We were so lucky to find a sitter that could handle a demanding multi-pet home with different needs and personalities with care, ease, and confidence. Brenda Deal”

I always ensure your pets are feeling their best, their yard/home is secure and that nose boops are given. Feeding/medication schedules are always followed. Pictures are sent! Cuddles are a must if they allow! :)
“Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.”
About: I’ve been petsitting on and off for the last 8 years for dogs of all ages and sizes. Most recently I volunteered at a humane society where I worked with all types of dogs. Here, I socialized the animals, bathed them, and walked them. I love making pets feel special as best I can! I work Monday-Friday from 8-4:30. I would be able to come over before and/or after, and show them lots of love, especially in the afternoon/evening! My weekends are normally relaxed so I can be available when you need! I care for pets in a clients home by fitting myself into the animals' environment. I do my best to keep everything the same so the pet(s) will feel like nothing changed! I bring lots of love, fun, and belly rubs with me!
“Ginger is a truly experienced house and pet sitter. We were so happy to have her at our home with our two cats while we had our little getaway. She is a wonderful communicator…from making arrangements, throughout the sit and wrapping it up when departing. We will hope for another time to meet up again. C & L agree.”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
“Denisse was wonderful with our dog Bogie! Everything was in perfect order when we got home and there were no issues whatsoever while we were away. She really is a pro! Will definitely try to work with her again! Thank you so much!”
“Susan did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby! She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with great communication throughout. I came home to a happy girl and an immaculate house. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter and I definitely plan on using her again.”
“Mallory is the BEST! She took great care of our two dogs and our home. She kept us informed of how things were going and sent adorable pictures while we were gone.”
“We are repeat, bookers and love Amanda‘s care for our big girl and our home. She is absolutely respectful and wonderful to our dog and it’s flexible as you can be. We are grateful for her.”
About: I have had pets and cared for pets my entire life. Currently I have a pig, 2 dogs, 2 cats , a rabbit, and a gecko! We are animal people! I have fostered heart worm positive dogs, have had dogs with special needs, and cared for multiple friends animals. I have experience with farm animals as well. I am a teacher but will be off for the summer starting June 2nd. I am available all day ; I have a 6 year old and 10 year old son that may be with sometime. They both love animals dearly; my 10 year old has a deep connection with all animals I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run. I have 2 medium sized very friendly dogs, 2 indoor/outdoor cats, and a pig that is outside. My dogs sleep either in my bed or on their beds in my home. They loved to hang outside when it is nice out. They love to just chill on our porch. They are fed twice daily . I am a special education teacher so currently have open availability. Once I go back to work mid August I will have early morning and late afternoon/evening on week days and weekends. My dogs, cats and pig are all fed twice daily.

When I have clients dogs in my home I treat them as I would my own dogs. Lots of love , pets, and play time. When I do in home visits I make sure the animal gets as much attention as possible during my visits so that they don’t miss their family.
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!
“First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!”

Olivia was excellent. She took care of my three dogs and they seem to really love her. She gave them all a good walk in my neighborhood which has very steep hills . She was responsive, sent pictures of my pups. She came on Christmas Eve last minute.Definitely will use her again.
Wow! Kayla was responsive, clear, thoughtful, considerate, adaptable, smart, practical, great listener and had great energy. We didn't have a good experience with our first sitter from Rover and we're reluctant to try it again. Kayla not only renewed our faith in Rover but in humanity as a whole. I just can't say enough great things about Kayla. And what a great sense of humor.
Leo is a fantastic dogsitter. He is a warm and grounded person who clearly loves dogs! We left for an extended vacation of over two weeks and needed an exceptional caregiver. We felt lucky to find Leo. He clearly connected with our 6 month old Kangal who is a wonderful dog - full of energy and very independent minded who needs someone loving and caring like Leo. Leo is attentive to detail, very responsive and professional in all his interactions. He left the house immaculate. We look forward to working with him again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dellwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dellwood on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,050 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dellwood. 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 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 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.
