“Christina is an amazing pet/house sitter. I had to leave town for a few days, so she stayed in our home to care for our American Akita and two cats. My Akita can be picky about who she will allow in the house but immediately love Christina. I received daily photos of the cats snuggled up on her and dog walks. She also left the house as she found it, which is much appreciated. All went amazingly well and we definitely will be asking Christina to help again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah 🐾 I’ve had pets my whole life and have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 10, so taking care of animals has always been something I genuinely love. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I treat every pet like they’re my own and love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and quirks. Whether your pet wants to go on a long walk, play nonstop, or just curl up for some cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, caring, and always want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry friends! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work as a barista, my schedule varies but I typically work 4 days a week from 5 AM–12 PM, which means I have plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and routine to make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want them to feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other care they’re used to. I’ll give them plenty of attention, love, and cuddles while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or shy. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
About: Hi! My name is Hannah and I’m looking to get back into dog sitting/walking on the weekends. I grew up with dogs my entire life and have always loved animals. I have dog sat for neighbors and friends for years. I currently have a 7 year old Pyrenees/lab mix and he lives the best dog life. I’m strictly a weekend doggie caretaker as I work full time during the week. If you need a dog sitter while away for the weekend, I can help! I’m very patient and attentive to the dogs I will take care of. They will be in great care at my apartment and there’s plenty of (unfenced) property I live in but happy to bring them outside with a leash too. I am happy to watch your dog in your home as well!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm, my family always had multiple dogs and often cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. After college, I regularly pet sat and looked after my parents’ farm while they traveled, sometimes for trips lasting up to a month. This meant caring for multiple animals, sticking to feeding schedules, and making sure everything ran smoothly while they were away. I also helped raise and train my girlfriend’s dog from puppyhood, giving me experience with basic obedience, leash manners, socialization, and establishing a consistent routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I work Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for early morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care, with full availability Friday through Sunday. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I’ll take the time to follow your instructions closely, maintain their normal routine, and provide plenty of attention and care. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always used properly, and treat both your pets and your home with the same respect I would my own. You can count on regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Maizy didn't even care that we were gone! Thank you Chelsea! You were great with communication & our dog was well cared for! Highly recommend Chelsea as an elderly dog sitter (or any age dog)!!!”
About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.
“Highly recommend Stuart! He took great care of our dog while we were away for a long trip- lots of hiking, playing, and interacting with her. Great at sending updates our way during the stay. Our dog is sometimes shy with new people and she warmed up right away with Stuart.”
About: I've always grown up with dogs and have been a dog lover my whole life. I have been house sitting and animal sitting for about 10 years now. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they're still happy while their parents are away! This is a win-win situation for both of us because your dog will be well taken care of, and I get to play with it! All fun aside, I do make sure to pay close attention and take care of each dog's individual needs. Everybody's unique so that will always be taken into account. Let me know what you need and I will make sure to help! I'm also a big fan of exercise so if you've got a dog that loves to run, lets run! I have a very open schedule, most of the time I only work at night and rarely for more than 6 hours. I can usually adjust my schedule as needed. Depending on the dog, I always take extra steps to guarantee that they stay safe. Whether that means taking extra note to make sure all doors to rooms are closed, foods are high out of reach, etc.
About: Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I have life-long experience caring for pets. I am great with detail when it comes to pet care and I love keeping pets happy and active while their parents are away! I am available every afternoon after around 5pm, and I am available all day Fridays-Sundays. I work Mondays-Thursdays, although this varies and I am usually available for walks and check-ins every day after 5pm. I am usually available all day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for dog sitting, walking, and boarding. My house has a fenced in yard in the front. I also live right next to a lovely greenway to take the dogs out for longer walks. I also have a bed and bowls for food and water.
About: I love pets and I am happy to care for them while thier owners are away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friends behind when you have to leave town. I provide excellent care and comfort for your pets. I cared for my family dog, Maggie, for 10 years. She was a high energy blue heeler with Cushing's disease and big anxious heart. I also adore cats. I adopted a one-eyed senior cat with a bad hip, Sebastian, in 2020, and he lived out the rest of his days being loved and cared for by me. Now I have two younger cats, Ruthie and Atlas. I work from home. This is why house sitting works best for me. I can care for you pets constantly throughout the day as they need. I am very careful to keep pets safe around cars and other dogs. I understand how scary it can be to let someone else care for your pet and I will be dedicated to keeping them happy and safe.
“Hope is great! She took great care of our 4year old poodle and 2 year old lab mix who is a rescue. Both pups and the house were well cared for. Hope really goes out of her way to make the pups comfortable.”
About: Hi! I've had many pets growing up and am a fur mama to my beautiful and friendly black lab Arlo. Arlo absolutely loves other dogs, and I am hoping to find some new friends for him to play with since he is an only child, while also helping out their human moms and dads. We are looking forward to future play dates! I work from home so I can be flexible with your schedule and your pets needs. Please let me know if your pet needs anything special! Customized to what your dogs needs are. I walk Arlo multiple times a day and try to get off leash time in safe areas as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 262 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dotsero. 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 Dotsero 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 Dotsero 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 Dotsero 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.
