“Ria is such a sweet soul. Felt completely safe with her in our home and taking care of our big baby. He was the same haply dog as when we left and that's really all we can ask of anyone. We will be sure to contact Ria first if we need someone again!”
“This is the third time we’ve booked Connor to look after our 3 cats and our house. Once again, she did an excellent job! The kitties were happy and calm when we returned, and our house was in nice shape. Thanks, Connor!”
“Taylor house sat our 3 year old Golden Doodle and did a wonderful job. Our pup was well looked after and happy and she left the house as she found it. She was in touch over the stay with pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Alina did a great job dog sitting for Hatley over a long weekend. He seemed to really enjoy her company, was well cared for, and Alina left the place in great shape. Thanks, Alina!”
“Nicole stepped in and was able to help us out with a last minute sit for our cat and dog. They loved having her stay with them and were well taken care of. We came home to a spotless home and happy pets! We would definitely use Nicole again!”
“We had such a great experience with Lynsey! She was incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating from start to finish. She took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated with lots of photos and updates throughout the weekend. She is very sweet and has such a love for all animals. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Kelly did an outstanding job watching our dogs and house sitting! She's a natural with pets - my shy ones warmed up to her right away! We appreciated the frequent communication and the plentiful photos and all the little things she did to care for them and our house while we were away!”
“Lauren was so patient and loving with our very anxious doggo, Zeke. She went out of her way to play and engage with Zeke to help him warm up to her. In just a few hours, Zeke was cuddling near her on the couch and letting her give him belly rubs (a big deal in Zeke’s world)! She was extremely communicative, sending lots of updates and photos. We felt so comfortable knowing Zeke was in such caring and capable hands! We look forward to having Lauren stay with Zeke again and hope they will become best buds 😊”
“Our pup is not usually 'open to new relationships' but she quickly warmed up to Claire. The weather posed significant challenges during Claire's stay but she managed everything with aplomb. Great job!”
“Chelsea provided house sitting for our French Bulldog and English Bulldog for 2 weeks while we were overseas. She sent daily updates and pictures. The dogs seemed happy in the pics! There was a problem with our air conditioner which was taken care of the very next day. She handled the situation like a champ. We had to extend our stay for one extra day. Chelsea was very flexible and accommodated our request to add another day. We returned home with our house in order and very excited dogs. We will continue to use her services because she is dependable, flexible and kind.”
“We hired Sophia for a second time and it was excellent! She stayed in regular communication with us and our pups were happy and healthy during her stay. She also kept the house clean and tidy. We’d definitely recommend Sophia - she is a fantastic sitter!”
“Savanna took great care of our dog Herschel! She sent us tons of photos and updates and was very easy to communicate with while we were away. We'd strongly recommend her and would have her watch him again in a second.”
“Meredith has been absolutely incredible as our house and catsitter over a week-long trip. We have a somewhat complicated situation (some of our cats don't get along), and she's navigated that wonderfully. She provided many pictures and detailed summaries to help us understand how they've been doing and has been responsive to suggestions or requests along the way. Meredith really went above and beyond, and I would happily recommend her services and hope to work with her again in the future.”
“Kiera is my absolute favorite! She stays with Bowser all day long gives him snacks, lovins, and best of all: LITERALLY TRAINS HIM! She has been the biggest help to me with everything she’s done. She’s extremely respectful, reliable, and trustworthy. She goes out of her way to take care of things in the house as well that she didn’t even need to do. Definitely hire ma girl Kiera, but not too much cuz I want her haha.”

HIGHEST QUALITY AND MOST REASONABLY PRICED PET SITTER ON ROVER! Abi is the total package. She was excellent, the dogs loved her, she was really communicative, the whole house was taken care of, and she brought total peace of mind, all at a super reasonable nightly rate! Book her!
Sophia was excellent! From the initial contact and meet & greet, through the end of our trip, Sophia delivered a wonderful level of customer service that is so rare these days! Sophia bonded so well with our dog, Roxy, and took excellent care of her and our home. Absolutely amazing!
Lauren was great with Scout, Remi, and Nellie! Her communication was stellar, and we loved getting all the photo updates while we were away. Having complete peace of mind about our dogs made our vacation so much better. We highly recommend her and will definitely rebook!
Cassie was absolutely great! Our dog liked her right from the meet and greet. She was communicative, professional, and caring towards our boy and made us feel very comfortable leaving him to her care. House was clean and organized just as we had left it when we got back. We definitely plan to reach back out to Cassie in the future!
Emi did a great job staying with our fur babies (our cane corso and two cats) for the weekend. She gave updates and photos throughout the two days and kept me updated on anything going on with the pets. She was communicative and so caring for our babies! Safe to say they loved her! Thank you so much Emi!
Korra and I are very lucky to have Tram house sit! Korra had a wonderful time with Tram. I am anxious when it comes to boarding my dog and normally only have trusted family members or friends dog sit but I was very much at ease with Tram’s ability to connect with my dog so quickly. 11/10 would book again 👍🏼

FAQs for House Sitting - Dogwood Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dogwood Acres on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,927 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dogwood Acres. 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 Dogwood Acres 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 Dogwood Acres 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 Dogwood Acres 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 Dogwood Acres. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
