Callae was prompt and polite. She took very good care of my Shayla and was respectful of our space. I would love to use her again when we are in her area.

Zoë was fantastic, and cant say enough great things. We really felt like Zoë cared about our dogs, which we cant say about other sitters we have used in the past. Throughout the stay she provided lots of updates, and to top it off came home to an immaculate house and Zoë even washed the towels and sheets she used. Thank you again Zoë for your outstanding care and look forward to next time

Erin was absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was able to get both of my kitties to come out of their shells a little more, took great care of them, our plants and our home. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone, and would be honored to have her back for future trips!

Karen was amazing. We cannot say enough good things about her, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She watched our two very different dogs while we were away for my father's memorial — our French Bulldog with separation anxiety and our parents' Saint Bernard, who is very sensitive. Karen handled both of them with so much patience, love, and care, and sent us regular updates that gave us complete peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands allowed us to be fully present when we needed to be most. We came home to two happy, relaxed, well-loved pups — and that says it all. Karen is professional, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals and a great person. We will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pets like family. 🐾

About: We are a husband-wife team that both work from home and love dogs and cats. We walk our dog(s) daily for a 3 to 4 mile walk, and shorter routes can be done for dogs that can't go long distance. Happy to house sit your fur baby/babies or just provide breaks for your pup or feed the cat. Our motto is... A tired dog is a good dog! We have flexible schedules. We are comfortable with giving meds if needed. Good with large breeds and light training during walks. Happy to reinforce whatever training / skills you are working on. We sometimes foster dogs, so schedule can be unpredictable at times. We both work from home currently, so have the ability to do drop-in visits morning, afternoon or evening. Soon-to-be retired for one of us, so that will increase availability quite a bit. We are not currently offering boarding in our home due to having a dog-selective large breed at this time. Happy to pet-sit in your home, usually just one of us.

I would highly recommend Mariela and will use her services again in the future without hesitation. Wonderful job, everyone was happy. Thank you.

We had to unexpectedly extend our trip and she was able to accommodate the extension. We are very grateful to know our pup is in good hands.. .

I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!

This was a huge step for me to trust someone with not only my guys but my home. Jenn understood my concerns and made a special trip down for a meet and greet. She sent multiple updates during the day and her pictures showed how relaxed Brady was with her. She left the house spotless, and I had a very happy dog when I got home. I definitely recommend her, and I look forward to her sitting again when needed.

I was sent pictures of my 3 fur babies all day with constant updates and communication. I will without a doubt be calling on Venessa again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.

I can't say enough good things about Beth! We were in a bind when we found out our pup may need surgery for a torn ligament just a day before our week long trip, and Beth stepped in to help us with such grace and professionalism. She took the time to understand our dog's special needs and ensured he was comfortable and cared for while we were away. Beth provided regular updates, sending us photos and messages that put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares for animals and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. We can't thank her enough for her kindness and expertise. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!

About: Hi there! I'm new to Rover, but have been housesitting regularly since December 2024. I've had the opportunity to pet sit in Australia and throughout New Zealand with dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I have also looked after fish and chickens. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies and kittens to older animals with health issues, including pets with arthritis, heart issues, IBD, and asmtha. I'm very diligent about managing any medication or supplements required. In the past, I've had two dogs as my own pets. One was a miniature schnauzer and the other was a mixed breed rescue. Throughout the years, I've pet sat for friends and family as well. I always love getting to know new animals and enjoy taking care of a home and any plants you may have. :) I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to stay in with your pets and make sure they are cared for and happy. *Currently, I am fully booked for housesitting until the beginning of January. If you are interested in booking for your 2027 travel, feel free to send me a message to schedule a meet and greet. I do also offer dog walking or drop-in visits for other clients from about noon to 2 pm, so this would be a time that I may be away from the house. To ensure a good fit, I offer a 30 minute Meet & Greet prior to booking. All bookings include frequent updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am happy to have your fur babies as my close companions or give them more space if they prefer. My goal is make sure they are safe and comfortable while their family is away.

About: My care strategy is built entirely around continuity. I don't believe in disrupting a dog's established habits. If your pup is used to an early morning walk, strict crating boundaries, or a highly specific feeding and medication schedule, I replicate that routine exactly. I provide structured, attentive care. Ensuring high-energy dogs get the physical outlet they need, while older or more anxious dogs get a calm, reassuring presence. When your dog is with me, their comfort, safety, and daily rhythm are my top priorities." Currently, I work a night shift from 10 PM to 6 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. I am fully available for early morning walks and drop-in visits between 6 AM and noon, as well as quick evening check-ins from 8 PM to 10 PM. On Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday...my schedule is completely open for open-ended daytime care, extended drop-ins, and flexible walking routines." When providing care, I focus on strict adherence to your established household environment protocols, including exact feeding rules, crating preferences, and secure entries to prevent any escape attempts. I maintain transparent communication by sending detailed photo updates and text check-ins after every visit. Whether your dog needs cautious, slow pacing on a walk or structured, calm boundaries inside the home, I ensure a completely secure and reliable environment where they feel safe.

Janelle was fantastic! She stayed with our 11 year old dog in our home for a week, and we couldn't be more pleased. She took great care of our beloved dog and home (the house was cleaner than when we left). She enthusiastically followed my many instructions, keeping our dog's routines in tact while we were away, with lots of walks, snuggles, treats and pictures provided. She even took our dog on errands with her so she wouldn't be left home alone. I will use Janelle anytime we need a sitter and highly recommend her. I was also very impressed with her attention to detail, affection and consideration for my pup's welfare. Thank you Janelle!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dodson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 3,401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dodson. 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 Dodson 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 Dodson 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 Dodson 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 Dodson. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
