“Madeline took great care of my 2 babies! She sent us pictures a few times a day (which I absolutely loved). This was my first time leaving my dogs at home with a sitter while on vacation so I was worried how they would act. She gave me the reassurance and comfort that my babies were in good hands! Madeline gave the dogs all of the love and attention so they wouldn't miss us. Thanks again! Looking forward to our next trip ?”
“Tatum was great with our pups! We met with her beforehand so she could get to know our boys and their routine. She sent us pictures everyday while we were away and kept us updated on everything that was going on! Would absolutely love to have her watch our pups again!”
About: ❗️If your house has any signs of fleas, do not book with me.❗️I have always grown up with pets in my house hold, i have always token care of them when no one else did and gave them the love they deserve. We are with them their entire lives, while they are with us for only a portion. I will be gentle and patient with them until they gained my trust. I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer! I don’t have an outside job, so the only thing taking me away from your furry family is school! I’m always open and i can always get to your fur baby’s when needed! I have 1 doggy of my own and she has fear aggression towards other people and dogs, i’ve learned to work around her personality and to go forward. I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager. From 20 year old chihuahuas, nursing day old kittens, and 80lb king German shepherds.. I’ve volunteered at a few animal shelters. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. My work schedule is 7-4, Monday- Friday and have evenings and weekends free. Over the weekends I am available all day and evening. For week days I can visit your furry baby any time after 4! I have a big fenced in yard and have two loving and playful dogs that enjoy making friends. I have 2 cats that are incredibly friendly but also leave my dogs alone. I have crates available and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for dog walking.
“Keirstan was amazing. She gave us regular updates on our two dogs and cat. And she was super flexible when our plans suddenly changed. It was great knowing our home and pets were in such good hands!”
“Sidney was awesome we needed someone last minute as our original pet sitter backed out and she really helped us out. We could t really tell her an end time and she wasn’t worried about it. Our buy is 16 and takes a little extra care and she really did awesome with him. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly person to watch your pet!!!!!”
“I have never left my dogs with anyone outside of family and friends because I was never comfortable. Who would take care of my kids as good as I do? That’s a big ask. But my work requires me to travel and I put it off until I couldn’t so I had to find someone. After scrolling through so many write ups on Rover I read Teri’s profile and I knew I found the right person. And when I met her in person for a meet and greet I was positive I had the right person. She gave me the peace of mind about leaving home and leaving my dogs in her care. Teri is down to earth, loves animals, and truly is in this business for them. But she also knows how hard it is for some of us Pawrents to leave our kids behind and Teri makes sure we humans feel comfortable too. I would prefer not to recommend her so I can have her for myself but I know all dogs and cats out there deserve the BEST and Teri is simply the best. I already have her booked for my next trip?”
“Sara was wonderful with our little Maltese. I was very worried about leaving her for the first time in a long time with someone other than family, and Sara made me feel much better. I would use Sara again in a second for another trip.”
“Eva was really great with my sweet piranha. she id a little reactive and nervous with new people, but she immediately took to Eva. We had some communication issues in the beginning, but after some chatting, we were able to resolve everything and she was even able to extend her time with piranha at the end of the booking when my flight was canceled so her flexibility is unmatched. I will 100% book with her again!”
“We are grateful for Kimberly’s patience and care she had for Daphne. Daphne is a sweet girl with arthritis and some dementia. Kimberly was the perfect caregiver for her. We knew Daphne was in good hands. Thank you, Kimberly”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Family friends and neighbors would always trust me to feed walk and bathe their dogs whenever they were away. I’m currently working part- time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am typically always free in the mornings and afternoon while some days I am free all day. Schedule can always be discussed. I am open to provide any care your fur baby might need while you are away and cannot provide that care. That may include walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Dickinson is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dickinson
Finn took wonderful care of our two dogs and cat! He made sure to update us daily and sent pictures. His past experience with veterinary services was an added bonus; he offered to trim their nails (both cat and dog), was able to keep an eye out for any problems, and had a familiarity and insight into dog and cat behavior. He noticed our dog's limp right away and was very comfortable giving them their pills. Overall, our animals were very happy and he gave them lots of love and cuddles! We would use him again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend him.
I wound up having to scramble at the last minute to find someone to sit with Kane for 5 days while I was out of town. The person I had contacted previously to sit wound up having something come up at the last minute. Patricia was a godsend and I couldn't have been happier. Kane was well taken care of and happy when I got home. Patricia will always be my go to now in the future if I need a SITTER.
I absolutely loved my experience with Sarah, she was so patient and good with my nutty, picky gremlin puppy! I never worried about my pup, she always updated with pics and notes about how the day went. When her stay was over she left my apartment cleaner than when she got here, I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dickinson on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,610 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dickinson. 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 Dickinson 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 Dickinson 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 Dickinson 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.

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.
