About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I've been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, with a special love for large breed dogs and caring for orphaned or vulnerable animals. I currently have a Rottweiler and two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with safe, loving, and reliable care. My professional experience began as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic, where I worked for over a year caring for dogs and cats, monitoring their health and behavior, administering medications as directed, and maintaining a clean, low-stress environment. I later had the opportunity to train as a professional dog groomer, and I quickly fell in love with the craft. I've now been grooming for over two years and currently work part-time as a groomer in a veterinary clinic. Working in a veterinary setting has given me experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, shy, or requires extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have hands-on experience caring for a variety of exotic and outdoor animals. Over the years, I've personally owned and cared for fish, birds, mice, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs. If your family includes exotic pets, backyard animals, or small livestock, I'd be happy to discuss their specific care needs to see if I'm a good fit. I also have experience caring for orphaned neonatal animals, including tube feeding and providing around-the-clock supportive care when needed. If you're currently fostering orphaned babies or have special care requirements, feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can help. My goal is always to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I'd be happy to care for your pets whenever you need an extra helping hand! whether you're heading out of town, working long hours, or just need someone to check in on your furry (or feathered!) family members, I'm here to help. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I'll provide the same love, attention, and dependable care that I'd want for my own animals. my goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I strive to provide care that goes above and beyond simply meeting their basic needs. whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I'll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. because I work in the animal field, I'm familiar with recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health that could indicate something isn't right. while I'm not a veterinarian, I know what warning signs to watch for and will contact you immediately if I notice anything concerning. if an emergency arises, I'll remain calm, follow your instructions, and seek veterinary care if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and close attention to their individual needs. my goal is for you to feel completely confident that your beloved companion is in caring, capable hands while you're away.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have been caring for animals my entire life. My family dog, Misty, is 14 years old, and I've cared for her since she was a puppy. Over the years, I trained her, took her on daily walks, fed her, and cared for her through every stage of her life. Caring for Misty for the past 14 years has given me firsthand experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. As Misty has gotten older, she was diagnosed with AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia), which has required careful medication management, close monitoring, and a specialized diet. Through this experience, I've become comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention.I truly understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, love, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same level of care and affection that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands while you're away. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I have a one-hour lunch break that allows me to return home for drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and quality time with your pet. From Friday through Sunday, I have a much more flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care based on your pet's individual needs. Whether it's walks, playtime and mental stimulation, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and well cared for. I am also available for boarding Friday through Sunday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I tailor my care to each pet's routine and individual needs. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. If needed, I can also administer medications and provide updates with photos so you have peace of mind. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I'll follow your instructions closely, provide companionship, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. For boarding, your pet will stay in a safe, clean, and loving home where they'll receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and supervised care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're in good hands.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years through pet sitting as well as caring for my own dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds. I understand how important routines, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of attention are when their owner is away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m also active and enjoy walks and playtime, so higher-energy dogs are always welcome! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have two dogs of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and can accommodate different routines depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also comfortable with crates when needed and can keep pets separated when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I have a fenced back yard as well

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special soft spot for cats. I grew up caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’ve continued to help care for family dogs as an adult. I’m comfortable with small breeds, large breeds, and everything in between. I wasn’t allowed to have cats growing up, so I fed strays whenever I could. As soon as I lived on my own, I adopted two cats who became my whole world. They’re the reason I understand feline behavior, body language, and the slow, gentle process of building trust with shy or sensitive cats. I’m also an occasional travel nanny, and one of my ongoing responsibilities is caring for a client’s three cats. Handling feeding routines, litter maintenance, administering medication when needed, and giving them plenty of affection and playtime. I’ve also fostered cats, including a mama with a litter of four and another litter of three kittens. Bottle-feeding, socializing, monitoring health, supporting new moms, and keeping young kittens safe taught me how to read feline needs on a deeper level. Those experiences gave me a calm, confident approach with cats who are timid, young, or need a little extra reassurance. Beyond cats and dogs, I’ve cared for bearded dragons and other small pets, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple types of animals at once. My focus is always on gentle communication, patience, and keeping your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Your pets will be cared for with the same love and attentiveness I would give my own. Whether you need drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure your animals feel secure, happy, and well-loved. I’d love to meet your fur (or scaly!) family. I’m currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am also available to care for your pets on weekends. I have a very small yard, but plenty of space in my home for your pets to roam and spread out if needed. I can accommodate for any pet needs.

About: With a Yorkie and Pomeranian in my family, I have been well equipped to take care of any pup! I love these furry guys and understand how important it is to have quality time away with quality care equipped for our little guys. I am currently a student at the University of Houston and am incorporating pet care into my schedule. I truly make time to make sure my clients pets are cared for. My Mondays-Friday afternoons are relatively free but please reach out and I can be flexible! In my own home, we have a free space for our dogs but keep any dangerous food or objects out of site as they have very sensitive stomachs. Remaining attentive with my little guys is very important as they get into trouble when they are not in sight. I am receptive & understanding to any requests needed for any home or service.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dinsmore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 169 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dinsmore. 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 Dinsmore 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 Dinsmore 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Dinsmore 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.
