“Hannah was an absolute rockstar cat sitter this past week. I’ve never had an overnight sitter and was unsure what to expect. Plus, my cat Christine can be a bit of a brat. Hannah was cool, calm, and collected when the brat decided she wanted to spend two days outside. Hannah made sure to give me updates each day and eventually Christine decided she was done with the heat and outside adventures. It was so nice to return home and not have to worry about the house or the cat. Hannah was also very patient with the fact that my house was being painted and there were painters outside almost every day. Thank you so much Hannah! You are amazing!”
“Riley is awesome!! She took such good care of my two pups while we were traveling for the holidays. She sent lots of updates with pictures. They got lots of cuddles and attention. I appreciated that Riley treated them like her own. Will definitely be using Riley in the future and would recommend to my friends in the area!!”
About: I have been an animal lover through and through all my life! I have done remote pet sitting for 2 years, and am great with dogs, cats, birds, and others! I am certified in small animal management as well as equine management, and have taken numerous courses and volunteered at shelters. I am currently a student at SHSU, home for the summer and taking online classes. Because they are online, I am able to work around them and fit any time of day for check-ins, walks, and more! From early mornings to late afternoons, I am here to service you. I have experience with many different temperaments of pets, and focus on creating trust between me and your furry friend. I am very quick to pick up on switches in mood, and understand stress signals when it comes to taking care of them. I have always been passionate for animals, and prioritize comfortability and safety 100% of the time.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I had both cats and dogs my entire like and I’m comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or more frequent attention. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or training routines to help pets feel comfortable while their parent is away. I am currently a student at Sam Houston State University, studying Kinesiology (Pre-PT), so my schedule can be a little hectic. My availability is not always completely accurate, but if you get in contact with me we can work something out! I am super laid back and love to just spend time laying around, but I can also get up and moving if your pet is high energy.
“Veloria is awesome! So my dogs are like my children and I was comfortable working with her the whole time. She was very responsive and always kept me posted when I was away. She will be my go to from now on when I'm out of town.”
“Aiden was a great help watching Mickie when I went on vacation. My flight home got delayed 2 days due to weather and he was able to extend his stay and take care of her until I got back.”
About: Growing up in La Cañada Flintridge, my love for animals has been an integral part of my life since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated towards me, making it clear that caring for animals comes naturally to me. I believe dogs are truly a gift from above, sent to bring joy and laughter into our lives. Huntington Dog Beach is my happy place, where I can connect with these wonderful creatures and witness the pure happiness they bring. As a dedicated medical professional with over 25 years of experience in La Cañada Flintridge, I understand the importance of compassion and care. My my schedule is open. I dream of one day having a dog ranch where all furry friends are welcome, providing love and safety for those in need. With a genuine connection to animals that rivals human relationships, I'm excited to share my love and care with your beloved pets. Currently my schedule is open for pet care. I am able to care for pets during the day but I also can do overnights as well. I believe it’s most beneficial for your beloved pets to remain in their environment of their homes so that they can feel safe and secure.
“Absolutely wonderful!! We booked Samantha for the first time for a 3 week stay at our home to look after our lab Marley. Samantha was so great! She gave us daily updates, photos and videos. She is really easy to communicate with and an absolute gem of a person. She has such a sweet personality and my dog absolutely loved her❤️🐶 Samantha made the whole process easy! In addition to looking after our sweet dog, our home was just as we left it. Tidy and clean. I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone as well!!!”

I’m a huge animal lover with tons of experience caring for pets of all kinds. From playful pups to cuddly kitties (and even those adorable little critters), I’m here to make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. I love giving them lots of attention, playtime, and, of course, tons of belly rubs and snuggles :) Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for pets with all sorts of personalities & I treat every pet like they’re my own, as anyone should!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dodge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dodge. 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 Dodge 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 Dodge 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 Dodge 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.
