About: Hello! I’ve been around pets my entire life. Anywhere from small breeds to large breeds. I owned a German Shepherd for 7+ and also cared for kittens right from the time they arrived. I currently manage a restaurant since returning to the workforce after being a SAHM for years. My schedule is very flexible, and my time still is dedicated to caring for others as well as taking care of my family, work family, and animals! I can ensure when visiting your home that everything will be as you left it, and your animal very well taken care of and loved on. Sometimes I do have my kids with me who have been around animals from a small age. I always confirm that is okay with you and your animals needs before I allow them to join me. I find it’s best to teach them young so they understand animals and how to care for them responsibly and respectfully.
“Jamison was wonderful with our two dogs. She made sure to come over before hand and meet them, see the house and let us walk her through their routine. She went above and beyond taking care of them on our wedding weekend which was a complete gift knowing how crazy the rest of the weekend is.”
“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! 😊”
About: I have plenty of experience with handling and caring for animals as I have 3 dogs, 8 cats, 4 turtles, 4 frogs, and 2 lizards. I grew up with animals and have volunteered at animal shelters and worked at an animal care hospital as a kennel tech. I'd love to open my care to other people's pets as it's something I'm pretty comfortable and trained in doing. I've had pets my entire life and have a pretty strong passion about animals and can care for any range of breeds or size without issue. I'm very flexible with scheduling and timing as I have a lot of free time and can do pretty much any timing required even most last minutes if needed. Im open to all the services for pet care on here and really do make it my priority for who's pet I'm caring for. I do have a baby that i need to take with me most places but i can babywear him or figure out something that works if comforable! I recently left my full time job job to have more time for my hobbies and side jobs that i much prefer. I can be home all day if need be, and when boarding I do keep my pets separate in the lower portion of the house unless I'm supervising so all pets feel secure and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and a deck that leads out from the living room. I ask that requests be for non destructive dogs as i did board two unbehaved dogs last year that tore into furniture, so please no requests if the pet has a history of being destructive! I let your pet warm up to my home first and make sure to follow the specific care needed per each pet according to the owner's directions.
“Destiny was so amazing!!! She waited longer than the booking so Cassidy wouldn’t be alone at home until I could get there. Would highly recommend her to watch your loved pets anytime!!”
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
About: I Love dogs with all my heart. I have taken care of dogs since I was 10yo. I can walk your pet, play and do what he needs. I’m currently part time working, so I have a lot of available time, when I can help you. I’m also available for weekends any time I live in a pet friendly apartment building ( 2 bedroom). Around the building I have a big area with grass for walk and play.
“Chas was an incredible sitter for our antisocial, grumpy older dog. She immediately put us at ease with her calm, confident manner and clearly knew how to effectively interact with and handle dogs. She did bring her dog along, which worried me at first, but he was extremely well trained and after watching her introduce them, I felt confident that she knew how to handle them both. She left the house perfectly clean, followed our instructions, and sent updates on our dog throughout her stay. Overall, we feel very lucky to have found someone we trust with our picky dog and will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“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!!”
About: Ive taken care of animals since I was 11. Ive had animals that range from hamsters to horses and alpacas. I have experience medicating, bathing and general care. I have worked with horses in a professional capacity. I am currently between chapters in my life. I'll have plenty of time to pop in and help out! Cant wait to meet all the lovely darlings! Understanding animal behavior is a huge part of my care. Different species, individual animals, all have various needs and methods of communication. I do my best to follow all instructions from you, while also respecting each critter's individual communications in the moment.
“This was my first time ever using a dog sitter for my three babies. She was absolutely pleasant, and loved my animals. Took very good care of them for the duration while I was away. I do believe that my fur babies loved her too. You can always tell from their reaction when they were introduced to her and when I returned home. I would definitely recommend Sonya and will definitely use her again when needed .”
“Kristen did an excellent job with taking care of our two dogs and home! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous but our dogs absolutely loved her and she was incredibly considerate. She was even patient and helpful when our AC unit had issues while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a nice neat home with a kind note and treats!! I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve been watching my friends and my friends families animals for a few years now while they vacation or anything comes up. I’ve done the walking, the repetitive throws back and forth, and the quick check in during a storm just to make sure they haven’t chewed the house to pieces. I’m naturally an early bird so checking in earlier then my normal 6-3ish work schedule isn’t an issue and anytime after I’m usually free I have a fenced in run area for free running if they’d like. My porch is screened in so they can have the outside time without getting out.
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are out of town. I’m currently working part-time from 4am-8am and I have plenty of free time to give your pet the love that they deserve when you are at work or on vacation. From my house to your house your pet will be loved and taken care of. I love hikes or just seating at home and petting your loved one.
“Luisa was amazing with our girls. She took them on so many outings and genuinely enjoyed her time with them. She truly loves animals and I am so thankful she loved mine while I was gone! My husband and I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much, Luisa!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 166 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dennis. 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 Dennis 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 Dennis 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 Dennis 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
