“Hannah has taken such great care of our dog and two cats each time we have been away. She never shied away from our high anxiety dog and ornery cats so I have all the faith she can handle just about anything! Will absolutely continue booking with her.”
“We are super fortunate to have found Anne to care of our 2 dogs at our home for a week. She is very sweet, punctual, reliable and a great communicator- she sent us lots of picture updates which we loved. I could tell my dogs were having a ton of fun with her and felt at ease throughout our vacation. It was great to see our pups happy as can be while doing their silly routine with Anne. She truly treated them as her own. She also went above and beyond and got our mail and washed the guest bedroom bedding. Our house was kept up as tidy as we left it. I highly recommend her to love on your pets! Thanks so much Anne!”
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.
“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!”
“Sarah was very accommodating and took great care of the dogs while we were away. She communicated throughout her visit and sent us some pics! Very grateful for a good experience with Sarah!”

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!!
“Madisyn did an awesome job taking care of my pets. She sent me pictures of my pets when I was on vacation, was very attentive to their needs and went above and beyond more than once. I highly recommend booking with her.”
About: I have had a dog since I was born and I've never been without at least one in my life. I currently have 3 dogs and they are part of my family... we include them in our lives and love to play, walk and talk with them! They have gotten older over the years so 2 of them need special care. Two are blind and have diabetes but we give them shots and it keeps them healthy. I am happy to give your four-legged family member any extra care needed! I comfortable with any breed of dog at any age since I've been around pretty much everything... Chihuahuas, Cockapoo, Schnauzers, English Mastiff...I love them all! I can be available for walks and to check in on your fur-baby while you're away! If your pet needs a ride I am also willing to provide transportation home, or to the spa! Update: Beloved Oliver and Lola are now in puppy heaven. My time is devoted to puppies in need now! Winston recently was laid to rest after 9 years as a devoted companion.
About: Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and taking care of them. Growing up, my family adored Great Danes, so I’ve had plenty of experience with big breeds. By the time I was ten, I was already looking after the family dogs, my own fish tank, and even a leopard gecko! My dream of having a mini zoo at home didn’t fade, and once I moved out, I could finally indulge in my love for cats. Now, we’ve got two Danes, four cats, and a whole flock of chickens. My friends and family know they can count on me to make sure their pets are happy and healthy, so they can rest easy and enjoy their time away. You can too, especially with the detailed notes and photos of your pet that I’ll send you during my visits. I’m not a dog trainer (yet!), but I do know how important it is to be consistent with training. With clear communication, I can make sure the hard work you’ve put into your training stays on track, even when you’re not around! I’m currently working remotely and part-time while undergoing medical treatment. I’m available to give your pets my full attention most of the day. My routine treatment and recovery periods are blocked off, so they won’t interfere with my ability to care for them. I exclusively care for pets within their homes because I can’t accommodate any more pets in my own. I offer either drop-in visits or full house sitting, so you can choose the level of care that best suits your needs. I respect that every pet parent has their preferences, so the more specific you can be with instructions, the better!
About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I think I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).
“Chi was AMAZING and definitely the best pet sitter we have ever had. She sent tons of pictures and updates, and our pets loved her (including a notoriously shy cat). As an added bonus, the house was even cleaner than we left it. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“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!!!!!”
“We 100% trust Alyssa to take care of our dog and know he’s in great hands when she’s with him. We always get plenty of pictures and updates on Winston when he’s with her. We love Alyssa, and so does our dog!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life! I’ve had a dog for 7 years and I watch other peoples dogs for them all the time! 25+ different dogs on Rover as well! I work at Texas A&M University at Galveston and I’m free in the early mornings and evenings! I am also available for the weekends as well! I take care of my dog Riley by going outside and throwing his toys in the backyard and daily walks! I will take care of your dog how you want! I watch my parents dogs all the time and they often need oral medications, ointments, and special diets. I hope to make your pet as comfortable and anxiety free while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dickinson
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 $52.72 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,613 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dickinson. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
