“This is the second time Laura watched our two dogs for us. This time we added my daughter’s six month old puppy to the mix. Laura took excellent care of our pets and home. We received pictures daily and she was very responsive to any questions from my daughter who was worried leaving “her baby” for the first time.”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”

Animals are a huge part of my life and I strive to treat every and anyone’s pets like they’re my own. I am a bus driver now and work MTWTF, off on the weekends. I do split shifts 6-9am and 2-5am but times may vary. I am perfectly okay fitting in your needs where I can.

“Sarah has watched my dog multiple times for both drop in visits and overnight sitting. She has watched my dog for 2 weeks on multiple occasions. We are thrilled to have her as our dog sitter and can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’m just a dog lover who enjoys taking walks a few times a week. I’ve had rescues my entire life, so I have my own personal experience with animals. I currently have a almost 4 year old, shy, rescue that we have been working on confidence building with. I work a full-time job, so I’m looking to fit in boarding on the weekends and holidays. I'm open for long term boarding as well. I live in apartment, but we take our dogs on walks to get their energy out and supplement the lack of a yard where we can. My dogs are spoiled and happy. We do also have a doggy run in our complex that we can use as well. I would be the sole caretaker for your pup.
“Tabitha was absolutely amazing! She was open to meeting before watching my two boys. They loved her right away. I appreciate her communication style and her attention to detail. She went above and beyond. Came home to clean house and she did the laundry even. She’s wonderful and I most definitely hope she’s available when I go out of town again! Thank you for making my trip that much better because I knew my boys were in good hands!”
“Jill was wonderful when we had her stay with our senior lab over Christmas! She gave regular photos, videos and text updates! This was our first time using Rover, and it was so comforting to know our pup was in such good care! Such a different experience from when we have had to board him in the past! We would definitely ask for Jill again! She was a perfect match for our family!❤️”
“Jenny was unbelievably awesome! She came over for a meet and greet before our trip, and both of our cats took to her immediately. She has such a gentle, calm, consent-based approach with cats that made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She stayed at our house while we were away and was extremely communicative and professional throughout the entire stay. She sent us the BEST photos and updates, gave our cats tons of love and attention, and even agreed to feed the squirrels in our yard. 🥹 She also went above and beyond by stripping the beds and tidying up before we came home, which was such a lovely surprise. Jenny is an absolute gem. I am officially calling her a cat sorceress because I don’t know how else to explain how quickly our cats trusted her. 😂 We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a beautifully cared-for home. Thank you, Jenny!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals at our farms and my dad's veterinarian practice. I have always had cats and dogs and sometimes a turtle. I have dog walked for others, off and on, for 20 years. I am currently between positions as a professional educator and am looking to fill my time and make some extra money. I am usually available all days. We have a fenced yard and 2 50 pound rescue mutts and 2 rescue cats. I only walk dogs on fixed leashes and inspect your home and clean up any potential accidents.
About: I've been looking after dogs, primarily small ones, for quite a long time now. Have had to feed and walk and watch over them plenty of times over the years for family members. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite free, which includes all reasonable hours of the day. Currently unable to watch over animals at my place of living. I personally care for my own cat and one of my mother's dogs on the daily, but the house itself isn't fit for me to watch over any additional animals.
About: Grew up taking care of a variety of pets (dogs, cats, and more) for family and friends. Successfully trained each one to read and write ;) Currently working from home with loads of flexibility to schedule time for pups. I love to take dogs on walks, runs, or hikes throughout the day. I try to match the energy of any fury friend. My love and appreciation for animals and pets has really grown through life experiences. Thinking of them first is a fine habit to have. Proper planning and anticipation goes a long way. I got incredibly lucky with my current dog, Dos, who is so friendly and loves new friends to play and hike with.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently have 2 cats with me in Hillsboro, but at my parents house we do have 2 dogs I work M-F 8:30-5ish. I have an hour to an hour and half lunch break. I’m available to stay 24 hours on weekends if needed If your pet needs any special needs please write them out. I will treat your home and pet as if they were my own and will clean up any form of mess that is made.
About: I love dogs. Growing up, I've cared for several family dogs, including a shih-poo named Kirby, a german shepherd/lab/husky mix named Beauty, and two miniature golden doodles named Amber and Rusty. I volunteered weekly as a 'Canine Companion' at the Humane Society for three and a half years, walking, training and cleaning up after dogs, and providing feedback to help them find homes. I had a few hours of formal dog training at the Humane Society. My wife used to work as a vet tech, so she's also a great source of knowledge for animal care that I draw from. I drive from Hillsboro to Portland to drop my wife off at College at 10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; I pick her up at 6pm. I can attend to clients in both locations and Beaverton since I drive this route often. I have a cat in a two bedroom apartment. There's a lot of other dogs and leashless dog parks in the area, which is ideal if your dog is friendly with other animals. I'm used to caring for my friend's cats in his home, bringing in his mail and tending his garden. I bring a calm, quiet presence that keeps the cats relaxed.
“Jennifer is AMAZING! I never want to have anyone else watch my dog. She made our dog feel relaxed and loved in our home. He was fed, walked and loved for a week. Jennifer also went out of her way to keep our home clean and communicate with us whenever needed. I cannot say anything but wonderful things about Jennifer and her stay with our dog at our home.”
About: Pet sitter since 2006 and lifelong fur-parent. I love walking, playing, and learning your companion's personality. Rest easy knowing they are safe, loved, and happy! I'm currently taking online college courses and come January I will be working full-time remotely. I have the flexibility for plenty of walks and play with your four-legged companion. I'm very interested in finding a housesit on the OR coast for the Christmas/New Year holiday, so if you're traveling and need someone, let's talk. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your established routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide nutritious feeding, fresh water, and multiple daily walks filled with play and affection. Additionally, I prioritize home security, maintain open communication with frequent updates or photos, and treat your space with utmost respect so your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dilley
Natalie did an amazing job caring for our two pit bulls, Snoopy and Snowball, while we were traveling. She was on point with everything: feeding, walks, routines, and all the little details that matter to us. Her communication was fantastic. She sent regular updates and photos, so we never had to wonder how the dogs were doing. Being so far from home is a lot easier when you know your pups are in great hands. Snoopy and Snowball were happy and relaxed, and they clearly loved their time with her. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, professional sitter, and we'll definitely book her again!
Amazing as always! Whenever we go out of town, she’s always our first choice. She’s amazing with our dogs, spends tons of time with them, and takes great care of the house too. Our dogs absolutely love her! She makes going out of town and being away from them so much less stressful. Would definitely recommend!
Abigail was so wonderful! First, we had our sitter back out at the very last minute. I put in my request for a 1 week house sitter with only 1 day notice… I was so anxious I wouldn’t be able to find anyone, but Abigail responded within minutes that she was available. I was so relieved after meeting Abigail at my home and showing her all of my fur baby’s favorites. My kitty is only 10 months old so I am being a bit of a helicopter mom! I requested Abigail to take 1 picture every day if possible. She did not disappoint! When we returned, the house looked exactly as we left it. She was kind enough to even check our mail! 10/10 Would Recommend!
Elizabeth did such an awesome job! We were gone for a week and she stayed over at our place with our pup. She followed all the instructions and left our place even better than we left. She cared for our dog like it was her own:) We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dilley is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $27 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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,433 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dilley. 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 Dilley 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 Dilley 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 Dilley 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.
