“Cori and Jamie did a great job pet/house sitting for us. This has been the longest we’ve been away from our cats where a family member hasn’t been watching them. After we met them we felt much more better about our trip. It made traveling with a toddler a lot easier knowing that the cats and house were in good hands! We will definitely consider booking with Cori and Jamie again for future trips!”
“Margaret was awesome - our boy Cargo does not like being left alone and she was so accommodating with that as an overnight sitter. She also sent frequent updates. When we came back, Cargo acted as if we had only left for a few hours rather than an entire night!”
“Julie was amazing! She watched our dog and 2 cats over Labor Day weekend. She stayed at our house overnight for 2 nights and treated our pets like they were her own. She kept us updated on feeding them, walking the dog, and anything else that came up. She responded promptly anytime I messaged her. I would definitely book with Iulie again! She was fantastic!!”
“Diana stayed with our two large dogs for a week. She was absolutely wonderful . I think they really enjoyed being with her. She sent great photos and a video so we could see how happy they were. I would highly recommend Diana for any dog sitting or care-giving, She loves animals and is very kind to them, One of our dogs is a picky eater and she go her to eat. The other is somewhat a reactive dog, but she and our dog Charlotte bonded instantly. If you want a professional, compassionate dog sitter in your home, please consider DIana. She is 6 stars out of 5!”
“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”
“Nicholas was a great sitter! He followed our complicated instructions to a T and made sure to give the dogs lots of exercise. He shared plenty of updates as well so we were never worried about the health and happiness of our pups.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home that’s my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.
“Chris was a great dog sitter! He was accommodating to a last minute change, a meet and greet before hand, and respectful of my home! He was punctual and caring for my little Fry Guy. I did not have any worries about my pup while Chris was watching him. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Kaylah is very responsive and dependable. She did a great job with my very nervous rescue dog, putting my dog right at ease. We’re looking forward to having her back!”
“Autumn was great! I came home and the house looked like nobody had even been there. The dogs were relaxed and happy. Autumn was communicative and honest. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I grew up in Georgia surrounded by animals — we had a dog and four cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and cat sitting. I’m happy to provide loving, attentive care and make sure each pet’s individual needs are met.

“Jennifer takes good care of our dog while we're gone. More than that, she's on top of any issues with the house, mail, or even houseplants. We have zero worries when she's there. You won't regret choosing Jennifer!”
“Pam was amazing staying in our home with our Cece (Cavalier King Charles) overnight this weekend. We rarely leave Cece as she goes everywhere with us. Pam came for a meet and greet the week prior to our date, showed up a little early and that gave us time to go over anything either of us needed to, texted us pictures of Cece, and left the house tidy and locked up. Cece clearly loved Pam upon meeting her and was very excited when she returned the following week. Pam is a confident, professional, warm person and we will hopefully be able to have her back the next time we need Cece taken care of.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life (cats and dogs). Currently, my family has 2 dogs and 3 cats. Living away from home for college is difficult without my pets, so I would love to tend to yours as I am missing mine! I’m working part-time while taking classes but always have time for a furry friend (the care goes both ways in my opinion! It’s a win-win). I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have always cared for them. I ensure a mess free environment and love giving the pets lots of love!
“Macie is so flexible and helpful! We booked with her last minute due to a change in plans and we’re glad we did - we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Cargo was clearly very comfortable with her :)”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, and I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs. One of my own dogs is very anxious, so I’m comfortable handling dogs that need extra patience and reassurance. I regularly walk, feed, bathe, and play with pets, and I can also give medication and help with basic training. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me with their pets, and I truly enjoy making every dog feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I have a very flexible routine, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I’m available every weekend from Friday through Sunday for boarding or extended visits. During the week, I’m free every morning from 8 AM to 12 PM, Monday through Thursday. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m also available after 4:30 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m free after 7:30 PM, with additional availability from 3–5 PM. No matter the day, I make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, exercise, and care. I care for pets in my clients’ homes, which helps dogs feel more comfortable by staying in a familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s routines and house rules to keep pets safe and calm, and I make sure the home stays clean and respectful while I’m there. Because I’m experienced, reliable, and attentive, I’m able to quickly learn each pet’s needs and keep them happy, safe, and relaxed in their own space.
“This was the first time using a sitter. Mikayla was up to the challenge and did a fantastic job! She went above and beyond our expectations. Mikayla was also a great communicator. We got frequent updates on the progress of her stay with our Corgi. The house was just as we left it. No issues at all. It’s such a relief knowing your pet and home is in great hands...highly recommend Mikayla!!”

Abaolute rock stars caring for our pretty high need animal family. We have 4 special needs cats and one high energy dog and they did a fantastic job and kept us really updated so we had zero worries while we were away. Super thorough with all the care instructions we left and took great care of our house as well. Really really thankful!!
Selena is the best! Absolutely amazing. My dog is afraid of everyone. He never even barked at her! She sent me pictures throughout the day. My dog was having a great time. I can not say enough about how great she made my dogs time with her and was wonderful to work with. Next time I need a dog sitter, she will be my first and only choice!!
Margaret was awesome - our boy Cargo does not like being left alone and she was so accommodating with that as an overnight sitter. She also sent frequent updates. When we came back, Cargo acted as if we had only left for a few hours rather than an entire night!
Brielle was amazing with our pup! We had a last minute request because our other sitter had to cancel and she was able to accommodate. She gave us updates all the time and was very responsive. We would absolutely use her as a sitter again. Thank you, Brielle!!

The average cost of House Sitting in DeWitt is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night.

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 DeWitt 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 DeWitt 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 DeWitt 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.
