“Absolutely the best Rover experience ever. Savannah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She communicated very well, was consistent with her updates and pictures and was so kind and courteous. My dogs looked very happy in the pictures she sent and she went above and beyond for them. I'd absolutely, 💯%, recommend her to anyone, unless it's when I need her, then you can't lol.”
“Brandon was very efficient with communication as well as providing updates and photos while hanging with my dude for the first time this week. I was nervous but he made it seem less. Would recommend and continue to book time for my guy to hang with Brandon.”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“Jennifer was amazing! Super communicative & so kind. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups with her as soon as we met her. Huck & Wyatt enjoyed their time with her so much that I don't think they even noticed we were gone ha! We enjoyed our time away even more knowing they were being so well cared for by her, thanks Jennifer!”
“We had such a great experience with Sienna! She stayed at our home while we were away and took incredible care of our two pups. It was clear from the start that she treated them just like we would, which gave us real peace of mind while traveling. She kept us consistently updated, which we really appreciated, and was especially attentive to the needs of our older dog. Finding someone reliable and capable of handling that level of care hasn’t been easy, so this meant a lot to us. On top of everything, we came home to a spotless house. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful house / pet sitter!”
“Sheila is an excellent pet sitter. We felt that our pups/kitty were safe and well taken care of while we made a last minute overnight trip. They are a handful / Sheila handled them beautifully!”
About: Hi! My name is Alexa and I live in Lebanon with my Fiancé and 3 babies, Medusa, Beau, & Zeus. I have been devoted to animal care taking since a very young age. I grew up with mainly American Bullies, Pitbulls, & Frenchies so I have a deep understanding of their every need. But, I love all dogs as if they are my own! I can assure you that your pet will be in good hands with not only one, but two people in the house who work from home! They will be fed on a schedule just like my babies are, out to potty and for walks, play time with any toy they would like or they can even try the enrichment toys, bath time if they need one, and last but not least they can lay in their doggy bed or on my bed/couch! My fiancé and I currently work from home to be able to fit your pets schedule! With a commitment to you & your furry baby, my schedule is designed to fit their every need. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day treats, or even late night cuddles, I will accommodate their every need. You can be rest assured that your baby is in good hands in with pictures throughout the day and always being able to reach me whether that be a phone call or text message to my phone, I am always available to your every need! In my home, your dogs safety and trust mean the world to my fiancé and I. We have created a secure environment for you baby to feel like they are right at home. I am always available to both you & your pet at your every need. With staying in my home, they will always have a stress free environment to receive the love and attention they deserve.
“Julie kept us well informed about how Cooper was doing. He had nice long walks and play time in the yard with Julie. These are things we are unable to do with him so he loved it. Definitely would use Julie again.”
“Great sitter! Kristi was able to watch Camila overnight on short notice and gave me all the information I need during the stay to feel at ease about being away. Camila was happy and well taken care of. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free Kristi made everything!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Riley stayed in our home for 3 nights and took such wonderful care of our dogs. When we returned, our home was spotless and our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip—she sent us plenty of photos each day, which gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and in great hands. We’ll absolutely reach out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin did a great job! She gave lots of updates and sent plenty of pictures so I never had to worry about my pets while I was gone! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Grace is fantastic. I have 3 furbabies that can be a handful and she was willing to stay with them for a week. She was very communicative and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girls with her. I came home to very happy puppies and my house was very well take care of. 10/10 recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Abby was awesome, we highly recommend her! My partner and I were out of town for a wedding and we needed a sitter last minute. Our two cats are on meds and she had no issues with administering such. I appreciate the regular photo updates, it was great to see our animals enjoying their vacation away from us :). She took great care of our home and we look forward to rebooking!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life and have had over 12 years of daily hands on experience caring for my own dog. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, potty breaks, and drop in care. I currently work with children, so I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable handling different personalities and needs. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I am only available after 7:00 PM. I am a student, an intern, and I work part time. Therefore my availability changes a lot throughout the year. I greet the pets by petting them as soon as I enter the clients home. I will then let them out and will wait until they are by the door to let them in. I also actively supervise the animals and don’t let them leave my sight while being on the clients property. I make sure they are inside the clients home and their cages if one is required before leaving the clients property.
About: Hi! I’m Rebecca, a reliable, caring, fun, and patient pet lover who has been caring for dogs and cats since 2022. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and providing safe, loving care while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting based on my schedule. I understand that every pet feels most comfortable in their own home. I will follow your instructions, maintain their routine, and provide safe, loving, and dependable care while you’re away.
“Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,148 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dodds. 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 Dodds 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 Dodds 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 Dodds 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.

- 94% 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.
