About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life!! 🤍🐾 I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician, so I’m around dogs and cats every day and have hands on experience with all personalities, from energetic puppies to shy or senior pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and always take time to learn what makes each one feel safe, happy, and cared for 🐶🐱 I truly adjust my care to fit them! Whether it’s walks, drop ins, or in home care, I’ll treat your furbabies like family and make sure you feel at ease while you’re away 🤍 I’m also fully insured & bonded for added peace of mind 🐶🐾🦴🤍 I currently work full time at the vet, so with enough notice I do my best to be flexible and available whenever you need 🐾 I’m always happy to work together to find a time that fits both of our schedules and works best for you and your pet. My goal is to make things as easy and stress free as possible for both you and your baby 🤍 I currently offer boarding exclusively in the client’s home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I do everything I can to ensure your sweet fur babies are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away 🤍🐾 I also love capturing cute moments, so you can expect plenty of photos and updates to help give you peace of mind and show you how happy your pet is while in my care 📸✨ If needed, I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following any specific care instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free.
“Sally was absolutely wonderful to work with! She came to meet us and our 4legged baby before our scheduled trip. She asked all types of questions about routines and likes, etc. and kept notes, which really helped ease my anxiety knowing she cared about making the experience and routine as smooth as possible for our spoiled baby. She sent us updates and photos while we were away. Our girl warmed right up to her. We are already planning to schedule with her again for our next trip. Thank you Sally!!”
“They did the job taken care of my dog. I left my house spotless and my dogs were happy. I will definitely use them again. They are five star in my book. A really nice home and star linens and towels.”
“Jasmyne was extremely attentive to my pets during her stay! She followed my written wishes and instructions well and left my home in the same condition she found it. My dogs loved her presence while we were away from home and anytime she needed to leave the house she communicated well which I personally enjoyed! I loved not having to worry about my pets while I was in the hospital. Jasmyne also did a complimentary meet and greet before I needed her to stay so my pets would know her and her scent. Overall I’d recommend her to anyone. I can’t wait to use her in the future.”
“Alicia was wondering. Came to visit prior to watching our fur baby Emerson and this past weekend was the first time we have ever left him. He will be 5 July 13th. She frequently sent pictures to show how comfortable he was and keep us updated on their day! Emerson appeared to be extremely comfortable and happy! He didn’t even bark “YELL” at us when we got home like he does when we have to go to run errands. We have another vacation planed in July for a whole week and we feel extremely comfortable her house sitting again. Kudos to Alisha!”
“We love Katrina!!! I was really nervous about using rover and getting a sitter because my senior dogs had recently been through a lot of transitions and didn't really have a schedule and routine set in yet. Katrina went above and beyond. She met with us beforehand to help my dogs feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My pups always looked happy and were having fun, or being comfortable. She knew we were all still adjusting and gave me advice and helpful tips based on her years of experience to help me give them the best care. She left the sweetest memorables for us too. I'm pretty sure when I walked in, my pups were disappointed that it wasn't Miss Katrina. They gave me quick kisses and then went looking for her lol. Katrina made the whole experience so much more than I was ever expecting, and made me feel comfortable about going away more and for longer stays. We will definitely use her services again. Her availability schedule will be the first thing I check when I get ready for another trip.”
“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”
“Kacey was absolutely wonderful! She was timely with her response and very accomodsting in a last minute booking. She sent pics, videos, and went above and beyond without me even asking. I was worried to try this app for the first time bc my Lily means the world to me. But Kacey gave me the best first experience and I would recommend anyone to use her. I will definitely use her again!”
“Savannah was fantastic house sitting not 1 but all 3 of my puppers! I have three big pups, over 300 lbs of dog, and she was great with all of them, taking care of my old guy's needs, and sending me pictures of the relaxed doggos. Couldn't recommend any higher!”
About: Dog sitting is a hobby of mine, I have done this for roughly 8 years for friends & family, excited to extent my services to new clients. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, even with my full-time job from 7 to 4. In the mornings before work, I make sure to feed my pet, refresh their water, and take them out for a walk or bathroom break. After work, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s a longer walk, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’ve built pet care into my daily habits so their needs are always met reliably. In my home, I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a medium-sized dog door that allows pets to go outside for bathroom breaks or fresh air as needed, which helps them stay comfortable and active throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get enough exercise, and feel safe in their environment. I pay attention to details like cleaning up after them, refreshing water, and keeping their living space tidy and secure.

About: I'm great with dogs I have 4 of my own and love them very much. I offer sitting and walking I have more experience with large dogs but I can also care for small dogs. My schedule is open but I prefer to receive jobs either 1 day earlier or same day after 3:00 pm. I've had 10 years of experience taking care of dogs both large and small so rest assured your sweet dogs will be in good hands My schedule is open for any jobs available. Any time you need me to sit for your dog I'm available with little exceptions to that. I can walk, feed, and care for your dogs to my best ability I have my own leash if your dog doesn't already have one.
About: I have worked professionally with animals for years. I have experience in caring for animals with sensitive cases such as medical issues, high anxiety, previous abuse and more. I always provide a safe and loving environment for any pet in my care. I have many breaks throughout my day to visit and love on fur babies! I have a lot of experience with animals personally and professionally. I am trained in animal behavior and health. I am always sure to be very vigilant when it comes to watching anyone’s pets because I understand the risks of leaving an animal alone. I am able to quickly learn whether a pet is acting out of the ordinary and can check things such as their temperature and digestion habits to see if anything is out of normal range. I have also worked with several pets that experience high anxiety and have calm ways to manage those situations in a way that doesn't increase their stress level.
“Justyce did a great job with our pets. They seemed tired out when we got home. Even with a small scheduling mistake they were willing to work with us to take care of all of our animals.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and more beyond the years. I am reliable and follow directions well. I can handle anything that comes my way. I currently work full time 8-5 so I have time on the weekends to watch your pet or after 5 PM. If you need me to check in your pets like I do mine I can do that as well. I will walk your dog when needed, pet them and give them lots of love. I will take your dog to a dog park and make sure they have a ton of fun.
About: I love dogs, and I get along well with people everyone tends to like me. I grew up around dogs, and at home we had three Golden Retrievers. My family has even sold dogs at times, so I’m comfortable handling and caring for all kinds of dogs. I’m usually available from 2:00 PM until nighttime. We can discuss and arrange something based on your specific needs! I hope I can meet both your needs and your dog’s needs. I will be taking care of your dog in the comfort of your home, providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I love all dogs and cats and would love to help you in any way I can! Thanks I work full time but am available on weekends to care for your animals. If I’m needed during the week I’m available after 5:30pm. Thanks I currently share my home with two amazing pups who keep life entertaining, active, and full of tail wags. Through the years, I've cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from energetic adventurers who never slow down to champion couch potatoes who believe naps are an Olympic sport.
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I have a special place in my heart for special needs animals and rescue's. I work from home so I am here all day with my dog Hope. The more the merrier!

“We just can't say enough great things about Morgan!! Our girls love Morgan and even though they are happy when we get back home, they whine after she leaves because they miss her too!! I feel like Morgan really cares and treats our babies as if they were her own. 😊”

FAQs for House Sitting - Dosterville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dosterville on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dosterville. 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 Dosterville 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 Dosterville 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 Dosterville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
