“Anita did a wonderful job. Actually my fur baby Bella, choose Anita. She's very pleasant, kind & sweet. Anita stayed overnight in my home, my baby actually slept with Anita, which she's never done with me. She gave me daily updates and photos. I will be using Anita when I go out of town again for sure.”

“Very happy with Stephanie's service! We will definitely ask for her again. My doggo is very tired and happy after a long weekend with her staying with him, and the house looks great! Thank you Stephanie, much appreciated.”

“We contacted Haley about a week before our trip as our regular sitter backed out at the last minute. We have four dogs so we don’t just trust anyone with our fur babies. At the meet and greet we felt very comfortable with Haley from the get go. One of our dogs, who has extreme anxiety, was immediately on her lap with his tail wagging, which he does not normally do. This made us feel very comfortable with Haley watching our dogs. While we were gone, we received many pictures from Haley and she always let us know when she was leaving the house and they would be alone for a period of time. Knowing that they were well taken care of at home we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely hire Haley again to take care of our precious fur babies. We are already getting ready to book her again!”

“A Truly Magical Experience – Above and Beyond in Every Way! Working with Cristina was truly a magical experience! From the very first moment, I felt complete peace of mind knowing that my pets and my home were in the hands of someone so incredibly kind, capable, and compassionate. Cristina provided overnight care and drop-in visits for my pets, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, thoughtful, and professional sitter. She administered medication with ease and precision, making what can be a stressful process seem effortless. Her gentle and reassuring approach made my pets feel safe, loved, and completely at ease—no small feat! Every visit was handled with the utmost care, and she sent me detailed updates and adorable photos that brightened my day and confirmed just how well my furry family was being cared for. What truly sets Cristina apart is her remarkable attention to detail and genuine love for animals. She didn’t just look after my pets—she cared for them like they were her own. I returned home to happy, healthy pets and a house that had clearly been respected and maintained with the same level of attention and love. Cristina’s presence was not only a blessing for my animals but also brought me immense comfort. Her professionalism, warmth, and extraordinary level of care make her an absolute gem. I am beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re lucky enough to get on her schedule—do it. You won’t find better care anywhere!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is truly one of my favorite things. I’ve owned and cared for 10 dogs of all different breeds, personalities, and ages including labs, a husky, a French bulldog, a basset hound, and several rescue mutts. I’ve helped raise puppies, cared for senior pets, and worked with dogs who needed extra patience and understanding. I have also had cats my entire life, including my current 17 year old cat who I’ve grown up with. I understand that every cat is different and I love getting to know them at their own pace. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve volunteered with my local animal shelter for years. Through volunteering I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive and anxious dogs, and have learned how important patience, consistency, and positive interactions are. I am confident handling energetic dogs, nervous pets, and animals who need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in caring and capable hands. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I make sure to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I currently only work Monday-Thursday so my weekends are completely free for your pets! I can spend as much time or as little time as works best for my client with their pets. If you have a clingy pet that needs someone there with them all day I can do that or if you’re animal prefers some alone time and has a schedule to stick to I can also do that. Really whatever will make you and your pet the most comfortable I am happy to do! Since I am house sitting I can adapt to fit what your pet needs! I can follow a schedule if that’s what your pet needs or I am also comfortable with just going at your pets pace.

“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”

“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”

“Maddie is AMAZING! She sent us constant updates of our girls (we have sweet, but problematic girls). She took Griffey to the vet for us when decided she needed an allergy shot and did so well with her! When we came home, we saw she had vacuumed, changed our bedding, and even folded our toilet paper 😭😭😭 we will always be using her for future sitting needs!”


“Tiffany was GREAT! My baby was well cared for and given a little extra attention as he gets nervous with fireworks and loud noises (it was over the 4th weekend). He was happy and healthy when we returned and she kept us updated with pics and notes during the weekend. Tiffany was also super respectful of our home and we will absolutely book with her again!”

“Brooke is AMAZING!!! She is literally like having a family member watch our pups. She is so diligent about sending updates and pics, and just has the most genuine, caring way about her. My wife and I were away for a week and it was so comforting to have someone like Brooke to care for our fur babies and our home. We feel so blessed to have found her through Rover!”

About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”

About: I have taken care and had all kinds of dogs since I was about 7 years old. My family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me for walks, dog sitting, and just coming over to play and feed their dogs! I have a bernie’s mountain dog as well as a great pyrenees boxer! I love all dogs and love taking care of them! I am very used to taking care of big dogs and can give them the attention they need. I have raised many puppies since they were around 4 months old. I can provide vital care to all dogs no matter what is needed. I am currently a college student and have classes in the mid afternoon making me free in the morning as well as night! I have a very open schedule making my school work able to do whenever I am free, leaving me time to work and attend to needs! I have a part time job that allows me to create my own schedule leaving me available to care for pets when needed. I will be able to spend around 2 hours with pets on visits and in my home all the time. I live in a third story apartment building with a balcony and easy assess to open space and parks! There is lots of room to walk dogs outside as well as then have space inside! There is room for bed a crate or anything needed!
About: I have had pets of my own since I was a kid. I have taken care of pets for my friends and family members while they are out of town for the last 20 years. I can give medications and take care of them after they have surgeries. I also don’t mind and can hand dogs with anxieties with fireworks and thunder. I work full time from home and will be able to walk them or take them outside to use the bathroom whenever needed and will be able to attend to their needs or schedules closely since I will be home all day with them. I have a loving 10 year old fur baby who loves other dogs and gets along with cats and other animals. I’d love to bring her along with me when possible to hang out with your fur baby when allowed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dongola
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 396 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dongola. 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 Dongola 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 Dongola 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 Dongola 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.
