About: I have worked with animals at a boarding facility and then transferred to two veterinary hospital as a technician assistant and training tech. I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.
“Jessika was great! She communicated a lot, sent pictures, looked after my home and treated my family just like they were her own! She was also attentive and super helpful, asking if there was anything she could help with around the house awhile I was away. If I could give her 10 stars I would ☺️”
“Katie connected really well with our skittish little pup Gigi when she took care of her and Presley overnight on short notice. Katie is personable, trustworthy, and all around down to earth and the kind of person you can trust to take care of your home and fur babies. Thanks Katie! We look forward to seeing you again in the future.”
“Shannon was an amazing houseguest and pet sitter for my dogs and cats overnight. She took great care of them and was extremely proactive and responsive with updates while she was here. She even came a little earlier than requested! I’ll definitely be booking Shannon again the next time I need someone to stay or drop in for a visit.”
About: I am an animal lover and would love to help take care of your furry, feathered, and scaled friends! I have 3 cats and since I was born, I have always had at least one cat and fish. I also love dogs and have experience with farm animals, too. I can help with feedings, waste clean-up, walking, play time, brushing, and whatever else you may need. I am also happy to take photos, send you text updates, or do a phone call/video chat with you during the service so I can keep you informed with any updates and to put your mind at ease (I know how stressful it can be when you've just met your pet sitter and you're away on vacation, missing your babies- I've been there!). Please feel free reach out with any questions or if you'd like to schedule a phone or in-person interview. I currently work part-time as a tour guide and do the occasional side gig in the pet care/housekeeping field. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I can make early morning and late afternoon and evening visits. Certain days I am available any time of day, as I am only working part-time and not every day. I always respect the client's house rules and put pet safety first. I can assist with feedings, walking dogs/letting them out in the yard, waste clean-up, brushing, and playtime/keeping pets' company.
About: For over five years, I've been running my dog walking/sitting business, primarily through word of mouth thanks to the trust and satisfaction of my clients. Until recently, I considered this business more of a side gig, stemming from my joy of being around animals. Now, I'm ready to transition into a full-time business, fully committing to providing the best care for your furry family members. I have a flexible schedule that enables me to easily adjust and adapt my services as needed, ensuring that I can meet the individual requirements of both owner and their pets I am fully pet insured, which provides me with the coverage needed while caring for your furry friends. Additionally, I am CPR certified by Dognostic, ensuring that I am prepared to handle any emergencies that may arise. I take pride in providing a loving and secure environment for pets in my care.
About: I work remotely from my cozy home in Northfield most days a week, and I love furry company! I have a large back yard and live in a calm neighbourhood with lots of treelined streets to walk your pups through. I can also petsit your babies in your own home since my work is remote. I've been taking care of animals for friends for years and just realized I could be doing this more often through Rover! I work remotely and it's very flexible work. I love to take breaks and go out for walks frequently, and if your animal fits on my lap they'll most likely be there most of the time! If they have anxious tendencies I have lots of experience with helping them calm down and feel secure with me. I love to snuggle and will give your animals lots of cuddles and love! I have a big yard where your pup can run on the line. I make sure to feed your animals on time and take them out for frequent walks in my neighbourhood, parks nearby, or at the dog beach!
About: I’ve had a love for dogs since I was little, one of my first books that I read as a child was about dogs, and have cared for 4 dogs in the last 11 years. I had a Jack Russell terrier, Yorkshire terrier & toy poodle, who have passed in their old age. I currently have an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who is 2. My dogs, as well as other dogs, are well behaved around me and love being in my presence. I am available any day of the week, so availability is never an issue. I love caring for dogs & playing with dogs as it brings me and the dogs happiness. You will love that I care for the dogs’ health, safety, and happiness.
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs and different animals for as far back as I can remember as a little girl. I’ve always had a deep and intense love for furry friends. I’m currently available at all times for the time being because I am not employed as of right now. Last minutes are not an issue ! I don’t have a fence in my yard for the time being. I had an invisible one but my dog unfortunately passed away and we got it removed after. I currently don’t have any animals

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dennis
Julia was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Julia stayed overnight, sent frequent updates and photos, and made the entire experience completely stress-free for us. We came home to a very happy dog and could tell she had been in great hands. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. We would happily book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 300 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
