About: I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets. They depend on me to bathe, brush their hair, check for fleas, feed them, give them treats and take dogs on walks. I’m currently working other flexible jobs, so I have time to care for pets at this time. I have time to visit, have sleep overs at their home, have visits to feed them and walk them. I am able to care for your pets safely and you can trust me because I am very detailed oriented and pay attention to anything that may be dangerous for your pets.
“Elmer was amazing! Our regular sitter wasn’t able to watch our dogs and finding someone new to trust is always a little stressful, but he made the whole process very easy. He was personable, sent daily photos and videos where our dogs looked so happy, and we came back to a clean house. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! Would definitely use him again”
“Bria took care of my 3 dogs at my house for the weekend. They all loved her and had a great time while we were away. Most importantly, they were safe and we knew they were in good hands.”
“I highly recommend Alexi as a pet sitter! My little furry baby, absolutely adores her and feels so comfortable in her presence. He usually only sits on someone's lap for a few seconds, but with Alexi, he stays on her lap for much longer. It's clear that dogs can sense her positive energy and feel at ease with her. Alexi is also very attentive to my concerns about my dog and she followed my instructions closely. I appreciate her passion for fostering dogs, and it's no surprise that my baby gets so excited whenever he sees her. Not only does Alexi have a vibrant personality around people, but she also has a special connection with dogs. I trust her completely with my furry baby and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Gabby was awesome! She was so patient with our dog, who has separation anxiety. She sent plenty of updates while we were gone, and we came home to a happy boy and a clean house! Will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter.”

“Jairo took great care of my girls and my home. He was a great communicator, sent picture updates, took them on lots of fun walks and made sure they were happy and tucked in at night. It was very nice coming home to happy dogs and and a clean home, and made my trip much more enjoyable having peace of mind with regular updates.”
“Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.”

About: Hi, I’m Lina a lifelong dog lover🐾 with 16+ years of hands-on experience in behavior, boarding, and boutique-style care. I’ve created a calm, structured home environment where your dog is treated like family. My space includes a fenced backyard on the water, room to roam, and peaceful nooks for rest and reset. Whether your pup is social or more independent, I tailor each stay to their unique needs, energy, and personality. I’m deeply passionate about what I do. I’ve studied dog behavior and body language for over a decade and understand how to read cues, meet individual needs, and create a safe, low-stress environment. From introverted pups who prefer their space to high-energy dogs who thrive on play,every stay is adjusted with intention. My husband and I maintain an exceptionally clean, safe home. He’s fully hands-on and helps monitor the dogs whenever he’s available, offering added support and love throughout your pup’s visit. We sanitize thoroughly between every stay, use only filtered water, and keep the temperature comfortable year-round. Virtual meet & greets are available upon request (serious inquiries only). I’m happy to show you where your pup will eat, play, sleep and answer any questions to ensure full peace of mind. Please Note: I do not accept dogs with any history of aggression, regardless of size. This is a peaceful, respectful, home-based environment for dogs who thrive in structure, love, and calm. If you’re looking for a sitter who blends professional structure with real heart, I’d love to care for your furry best friend. 🚨 Must-Read: Drop-Off & Pick-Up Timing Policy 🟡 Timeliness is essential to maintaining a peaceful, well-structured environment for every dog in my care. I kindly ask that all drop-offs and pick-ups are made within your scheduled time window. ⏰ Grace Period: A 15–20 minute grace period is allowed. After that, a late fee will be applied. I design each day with intention,and waiting for late pickups takes time away from other dogs’ walks, play, and meals. ✅ If you anticipate being late, please notify me at least 2–3 hours in advance so I can adjust the schedule accordingly. I’m happy to update your booking and send a revised time if needed. 🔁 Please note: repeated late pickups without communication may result in a pause on future bookings. Thank you for respecting the rhythm of the home and helping me maintain a calm, structured flow for all pups. I look forward to caring for your dog with the same presence and love I give every guest. 🐾 Pet Care FAQ Bulletin ❓Do you accept both crated and uncrated dogs? Yes! All dogs are welcome, whether they’re crated or uncrated. Crated dogs will enjoy plenty of love, enrichment, playtime, and one-on-one attention,just like uncrated dogs. The crate simply offers a comfortable, familiar place to rest. It never means your pup will be confined all day. ⸻ ❓Why do some pet parents choose to crate their Dogs? Many dogs actually prefer being crated,it gives them a sense of security, like their own personal den. Some pet parents include crate time as part of their dog’s daily routine, and I’m happy to follow that for consistency and comfort. ⸻ ❓What if my dog doesn’t use a crate? That’s totally fine! I welcome uncrated dogs too, as long as they’re fully potty trained and comfortable being in a home environment. I always aim to mirror your pup’s routine so they feel safe, happy, and relaxed. ❓What’s your overall approach to care? 🟡 My care philosophy is rooted in calm, intentional presence. I create a safe, happy, and loving space where your pup can truly feel at home. Whether your dog prefers quiet cuddles or follows me like a little shadow, I gently adjust my energy and environment to meet their unique needs. My goal? To give your dog peace and comfort while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. This isn’t just dog sitting, it’s premium care tailored to your dog’s emotional well-being. ❓Do you take in more than one dog at a time? 🟡 I do, but with thoughtful intention. Sometimes I care for just one dog, and other times I host a small group, depending on the season and my calendar. What matters most is compatibility. I carefully screen each pup to ensure harmony, comfort, and safety for everyone. I don’t accept dogs with any history of aggression regardless of size, so the environment stays peaceful, happy, and secure. This curated approach is what allows me to offer boutique-style, stress-free care for every dog that stays with me. 🟡 I focus on creating a calm, present, hands-on environment, so I don’t offer hourly or ongoing updates throughout the day. If anything urgent arises, I’ll reach out immediately, no delay. That said, I do send thoughtful check-ins and a generous amount of photos so you always feel connected. ❓ What if I want more detailed updates? 🟡 ask me about the Daily Digest For deeper peace of mind, I offer add-on called the (Daily Digest Report Card) a premium upgrade that includes: • Meals & potty notes • Mood & behavior insights • Daily highlight videos & extra photos • Shared through your dog’s private photo gallery Perfect for pet parents who want to feel closer, even while away.

The average cost of House Sitting in Dewalt is $77 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $107 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 Dewalt 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 Dewalt 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 Dewalt 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.
