“Alexis was amazing. She was able to take excellent care of all 4 of our very particular cats. She was accommodating and very sweet to our little ones while we were away. Would highly recommend and would definitely book her again if the need comes.”
“Theresa was an excellent house/dog sitter who works remotely and thus was at our home much of the time. Communication was excellent. We will definitely hire her again.”
“We had 100% trust in Ren and she did not disappoint. She took great care of Phoebe - the pictures she shared show just how comfortable she was and put us at ease while we were in Mexico getting married. We would easily recommend Ren and use her again without question.”
“Carrie was so thoughtful and caring with our dogs! She understood their personalities and was patient, kind, and loving with them. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter to leave our babies with. We'll definitely be looking for Carrie for our future sitting needs.”
“Kari took great care of my two pups while staying at my house, giving me peace of mind while away. She sent daily photo updates and made sure they got plenty of playtime out in the yard. Kari was reliable, respectful, and attentive. My dogs absolutely loved her, and she handled everything seamlessly. I will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Callie had our pups over Fourth of July weekend, which is a stressful time for them with all the fireworks and they did really well! We appreciate her care and attention to them. She’s good about informing us when something comes up as well so there’s no surprises.”
About: I have been in love with animals since I was little. I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, a sheep, dogs and cats. I've had 9 rescue dogs throughout my life, as well as 8 niece and nephew pups and countless friends' dogs I've cared for and loved. I have also volunteered at shelters and wildlife rescues, and I've even camel sat! I have experience working with and caring for different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments and have partnered with trainers to help dogs with work through anxiety, over-stimulation, and reactivity issues. I have also cared for special needs dogs and senior dogs who need meds, diapers, traction devices, slings, and extra attention. Once I get to know a pup, I am very attuned to their behavior/mood/signs and am able to help them feel cared for and safe. I'm currently working part time, so my availability is very wide open. I'm free for walks and play time during the day or overnight stays with your pup in your home if you have a work trip or vacation. Is your dog an escape artist? I've had one of those, so I can bring a heavy wooden gate to block off doors or other areas of the house as needed. Other than that, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own dogs, and considering that my friends have said they would like to be reincarnated as one of my dogs....
“Honor took excellent care of my babies! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and active animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, including leash walking, sit, and down, and I believe consistency and positive interactions help dogs feel confident and happy. Whether your pup loves long walks, a good run, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I treat every dog like they’re my own, prioritize clear communication with pet parents, and will always make sure you receive updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, enjoy being active, and love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I care for pets in their own homes or on walks by maintaining their normal routine and providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I respect each owner’s home, follow all care instructions closely, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Ann K. was amazing with my senior pets. I knew as soon as I returned that they had been given attention and were cared for lovingly. They were relaxed and happy to see me. It was also clear that my home was kept clean. Ann has excellent communication skills and asked all the right questions about caring for my pets and my home. I just hope she is available the next time I go out of town.”
“This was my first experience with an in-house dog sitter, and I was initially skeptical about having someone stay at my home for an extended period. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Kathleen's excellent service. She kept me updated on the status of my dogs, and they adored her. Additionally, she maintained the house in great condition. I will definitely hire her again when my husband and I go on a long trip. I highly recommend Kathleen for in-home dog sitting.”
“My first time using Rover and I'm very happy. Sarah was great! She kept me informed about how Max was doing and sent pictures and videos. So happy he was able to stay home and not stress about car rides or being in place he's not familiar with. He was totally at ease when I arrived home. Great experience and I've already booked again. Thank you Sarah!”
About: I have always had a passion for all types of animals all of my life. I have owned many in my lifetime from small to big and of course a cat lover too! In my younger years I owned and operated a pet sitting service for 10 years, which I enjoyed tremendously! I then expanded to owning and operating natural pet food stores for 16 years. Recently I have sold my business and moved to Texas being with family and now looking forward to be of service to you and your pets! I am new to Rover but my knowledge and experience in pet care is vast and wide. I have worked with many holistic vets through the years and happy to share my knowledge if you are looking for that. I am also experienced in administering medications and insulin for dogs and cats. I am also well versed in puppies, kittens and senior pet care. If your pet requires great exercise I walk 8 miles a day and love walking and know how to get their wiggles out so you can rest assured a happy dog when you come back home! I strive in clear communication while you are away on the care & safety of your pets and home while you are away. I look forward to the opportunity to caring for your pets when you can't be there. I have a very open schedule and I am available any day of the week and times that work with the schedule of you & your pets. Safety is the number one. I will go over details with you prior to make sure your pets and home are in safe keeping, so I know where your dog or cat is typically located/kept in or out of the home and all doors and fences are always secure. It is a detail that I am very particular about!

“Nidia was wonderful while watching my dog Gus for an extended weekend. She was able to come by before hand to meet Gus and myself so we could have introductions and to ensure it was a good fit. While away, she sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. When I got home it was also clear she cleaned up a bit and was a great guest!”

FAQs for House Sitting - DISH
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,393 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across DISH. 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 DISH 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 DISH 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 DISH 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.
