“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Having Gabriella watch my dogs was a wonderful experience! She was very communicative, great with the dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her! Would definitely recommend using her services!”
About: I have two years experience caring for dogs and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m currently a college student, so I have classes during the week, but I have a flexible schedule outside of class. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and pet care before or after school, i’m more flexible on weekends! I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I have experience with dogs and understand the importance of keeping their normal routine.
“Andrea watched our lab and two cats while we were gone for a couple of nights. They were in amazing hands! Knowing our boys were being so well cared for meant we could actually relax on our trip. She’s an amazing communicator and sends the best pictures. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andrea!”
“SO greatful for Stella! She was incredibly communicative and reliable—our dog was so happy with her while we were away. A literal dream come true for my anxious-brain; Stella was the best pet sitter I’ve ever employed. We will be using her exclusively moving forward and highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who truly cares about your animal and will allow you invaluable peace of mind while you’re away.”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, whether they’re my own, pets I’ve cared for at shelters, or pets I’ve sat for through friends and family. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of available time to provide your pets with loving, attentive, and personalized care! I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate special instructions and make sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Mackenzie was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our pups with her. She had great communication and was very caring to them while we were gone. One of our dogs had an anxious episode and Mackenzie was very calm and attentive to him making sure he was comfortable. She provided several photo and video updates so we knew how they were the whole time we were gone. They were in great hands so we will definitely book Mackenzie again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Jana provided as our pet and house sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and beloved pets were in such capable hands. Jana went above and beyond to ensure our animals were not only well-fed and cared for but also showered with love and attention. We returned to happy, healthy pets who clearly enjoyed their time with her. Not only did Jana excel in pet care, but she also kept our home spotless. Walking through the door after our trip, we were greeted by an immaculately clean house, making our return even more pleasant. Her attention to detail, responsibility, and kindness truly made her stand out. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and diligent to look after your pets and home, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Jana and will absolutely be reaching out again for future stays. Five-star service all around!”
“Nikka did an amazing job caring for our two dogs for the week. She stayed in constant contact, sending pictures every day. We never doubted that our dogs weren’t in the best of care. Highly recommend! Thank you Nikka!”
About: I have experience working with large groups of dogs with Allies Walkabout. I live with three cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon. I’m also currently working at Petsmart as a bather in the grooming salon, so I’m interacting with a bunch of different dogs all the time! I’m full time and work most days 730am-4pm, while I’m normally off Thursday’s and Monday’s. For pet sitting I fill up food and water while letting them use the bathroom in the early morning and head straight back after work to check in! I’m committed to creating a safe, calm and trusting environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel secure and happy while in my care. I also have plenty of experience leash walking and crating if needed!
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own routine, quirks, and personality, and I treat each one that way. Whether your dog needs regular walks and playtime, your cat prefers a quiet companion and a consistent feeding schedule, or your pets just want company while you're away, I'll keep their day as close to normal as possible. I follow the routines you set, from feeding times to potty breaks to bedtime. I haven't administered medication before, but I'm comfortable learning and happy to follow your instructions step by step. I'll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and safe. I'd love a meet and greet so your pets and I can get to know each other before you head out. I’m reliable and detail-oriented, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home. I can follow specific care instructions, administer basic medications if needed, and keep your home tidy while you’re gone. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I am available for pet care before and after work as well as on weekends. I can provide morning and evening care including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have more flexible availability and can spend additional time with your pets. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine and receive consistent attention and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and environment. I carefully follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special requests. Safety is very important to me. I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment stays clean and safe. I respect each client’s home and keep everything tidy while they’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable.

I will constantly keep an eye on your fur baby and make sure their needs, happiness and safety are well exercised during the time they spend with me.
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dent is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $69 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Dent 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 Dent 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 Dent 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dent. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
