“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.”
“Alexis was wonderful! She kept my pups on their schedule, sent me updates and pictures, and my pups really enjoyed her. It's such a relief to find someone I can rely on when I have to travel ?”
“We booked Kaylen for house sitting with our two cats and two dogs for a few days while we were out of town and I can’t say enough great things about her! The animals instantly warmed to her and we loved receiving the photo updates each day. She walked the dogs each morning and even gave them a little grooming while we were gone! Truly an overall 10/10 experience and we are so thankful she was available to stay with our pets!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with Willie! She took great care of him, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so thankful for her help and are already looking forward to having her watch Willie again. Highly recommend!”
“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 is our second time with Andressa, andl it will definitely not be the last! She is Wonderful!! Thank you again Andressa for taking such good care of Mr. Peanut!”
“We’ve never left our dogs with anyone but Dani and Justin made us feel so comfortable! They are great at communicating, providing updates, and even had the house spotless when we returned! I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Magee was EXTRAORDINARY. Having her day sit our fur babies was the most comforting choice I could have ever made. Our pets absolutely adored her and felt safe with her around ❤️. Her communication skills were top notch which gave me an additional layer comfort while away. Please consider booking Magee for any future pet sitting needs! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“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.”
“Honor was wonderful with Klooney while I was away for several hours. She updated me with photos and kept me informed of how things were going. I will definitely reach out to Honor next time I need help taking care of Klooney.”
“Kelley was awesome! She went far and beyond taking special care of our girls. She treated our home as her own. She sent us lots of pictures so we could see the girls while we were away. We will be contacting her for care in the future.”
“Sarah took great care of our 12 year old dog Phoebe. She sent pictures, and kept in touch through out her complete stay with her. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Phoebe was in good hands. We will definitely use Sarah again.”
“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.”
“Yvette took excellent care of Bailey. He is 15 and not feeling his best; yet, she was there for him all the time she watched him while we were at a son’s wedding. Anyone who is looking for the best care for your pet, you can’t go wrong with Yvette.”
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs belonging to my family, friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and even multiple dogs at the same time. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I always take a calm, patient, and gentle approach to help them feel safe and loved. My goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I also believe pets need a healthy balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and comfortable experience. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. As a recent college graduate who still works on campus, caring for my cat is already part of my daily routine. Every day I make sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also spend time making sure she’s happy, comfortable, and getting the care she needs. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, it’s easy for me to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to other pets as if they were my own. It would be good to know if there is anything that scares your pets, certain sounds, movements, etc. It would also be nice to know of any commands/training tactics that I should be using while caring for your pet.
“Hannah was great with our two dogs, Harley and Prince! She was there when she said she’d be, did everything we asked, and even went above and beyond to trim one of our dog’s nails without her asking… thank you Hannah!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,473 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in DISH. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
