“Suzanne was a loving, caring and joyful person who took great care of our dog while housesitting. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone in need, and we will certainly be a repeat customer of hers. Thank you, Suzanne!”
“I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter”
“Dani is wonderful. She took care of our girls and the house, despite some unexpected home renovations starting the same day we left town. Good communication and check ins.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I’ve trained and walked my dog from when he was a puppy to now. He’s a little older now, but I still try to walk him and take him in adventures with me I have a lot of free time and can care for your animal if your planning your next trip, vacation or just need a little alone time My dog is very friendly and my cat can be standoffish but quickly adapts. My house is far from the town and wonderful little place for your animals to stay.
“Katy was fantastic! She was so communicative and was the best caretaker of our dog Josie. She took our directions very considerately and keep us informed daily over the week she watched our dog. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have prior experience in taking care of all different types of animals for many years. I have had puppies, kittens, rabbits, hamsters, smaller lizards, small and large animals, along with elderly dogs and cats. I also have experience in sick animals and giving medicine to them along with special diets. I would watch friends and families animals as I grew up and have learned over the years animals are my passion. I am currently enrolled in a veterinarian technician program to further my education in animal care. I am available at any point to watch your precious babies. I currently have open availability for whatever need may arise or for anything you may need I would care for your babies as I would for mine with all the love and attention they could possibly want. They would either be in a fenced in yard or on a leash for outside time and monitored while they are inside with plenty of snuggles and attention.
“We had the pleasure of having Heather take care of our sweet golden at the last minute on a holiday weekend while attending a family funeral. I was a nervous wreck to leave my girl with someone strange but Heather took the leash and handled everything professionally. Her communication (pics included) put me at ease. She was great - went above and beyond - and if I lived in that beautiful area I would hire her often and feel right at ease.”

About: I have took care of cats for 10 years and dogs 18 years will love taking care of them do you have any questions don't hesitate to ask I'm currently doing this part time I work a full-time Monday through Friday from 5:00am to 1:30 p.m. God bless you all. Happy to help. I would definitely make sure your cats or dogs are safe and take care of. I'll for all in any kind of services be glad to take care .
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the healing touch that I bring to all animals that I care for. I am a Reiki Master (energy healing) with many years of experience with shelter and sanctuary animals. I will take the time to learn and connect to each beautiful animal to learn what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I believe pet parents deserve peace of mind while they're away, so I focus on dependable care, clear communication, and making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently on summer break from college. When I am not doing healing sessions on people, I have a lot of time on my hands and would love the opportunity to take care of your fur-babies. I can care for your fur-babies in your home. I am also an active person and would love to walk your dog on their favorite trail. My care will be tailored to your fur-babies individual needs. I also have experience with farm animals. I love chickens! They each have their own personality, and I have even broken up a rooster fight. I love to care for all animals.
“Summer watched Katie for me on short notice and did a wonderful job! Went above and beyond to make sure my girl was cared for. I’ll reach out to her next time I need a sitter!”
About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!
“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dobson on Rover is $38.85 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 183 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dobson. 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 Dobson 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 Dobson 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 Dobson 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
