“Olivia is great! I’m definitely an anxious doggo mom but Olivia made me and our pup feel at ease! She takes such great care and has excellent communication and responsiveness. 100% recommend!”
“Christine is excellent with our dogs! They warmed to her pretty quickly and were in great shape when we got home from our trip. She sent photos every day and was responsive.”
“We could not have asked for a better and more responsive person to watch our dog than Bethany! She kept us fully updated the entire weekend we were gone and sent us so so so many amazing photos. This was our first time leaving our senior dog in a very long time, and we were really anxious about being away from him, but the minute she got to our house I felt at ease and knew he was in the best possible hands. She loved our old guy as much as we do! I would book Bethany over and over and over again if I could!”
“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”
“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”
“Kimberly was fantastic! We loved receiving her updates and her previous Vet Tech experience made us feel like our kitties were truly in good hands. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Alex did a fabulous job with our very picky kitty! Very responsive and incredibly helpful with our many requests! Thank you so much for everything Alex and we can’t wait to have you take care of Zelda again!”
“I can’t recommend Alex enough. She is a wonderful sitter. I had an emergency where my flight was bumped to the next day - Alex was there for our cat and dog. I’ve rebooked her several times and will continue to do so. She takes care of our home, is very communicative and our pets love her.”
“Christiane took wonderful care of our elder furbabies with all of their specific needs! My body, mind & soul appreciate having someone so responsible caring for our home & loves. It makes travel easier, thank you!!!”
“We had such a great experience with Stella! She was communicative, attentive, and took wonderful care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her!”
“Nicholas was a great dog sitter. He sent daily texts and pics of our boys. He walked our high energy GSPs multiple times a day and kept them busy. The dogs immediately liked him and even slept in bed with him. He answered texts promptly, communicated well and left our house clean. I would definitely recommend Nicholas to care for your pup.”
About: I have cared for an owned dog since I was 10 years old. Absolutely love them and have learned to read them and understand them and what they need. I work full time, but I am a teacher. So I leave early, but would be able to stop by before work and then after work spend a considerable amount of time with them. I am a teacher and I know that consistency is key. So I would want to do what you do on a normal basis so they don’t stress.
“Marlena was absolutely awesome. She spent a lot of time with our 2 dogs (including daily walks and fetching balls in the yard). The daily photos showed us that the dogs enjoyed interacting with her and were very comfortable with her. She followed our instructions to the letter and left our home cleaner than when she arrived. We are definitely going to book her again.”
“Jacqueline has been awesome to my girl! And she has been great at communicating with, sending tons of updates and pictures! I cant recommend her enough!”
About: Hi there! I’m Haider, and animals have been a huge part of my life since I was just a kid. I’ve had and cared for pets (dogs, cats, birds) around me since I was about eight years old, and they’ve always brought so much joy into my life. While I don’t currently have my own pet due to my busy work life, I’m super excited to open up my home to care for yours. At the moment, I’m focusing on welcoming cats into my cozy space and making sure they feel completely comfortable and loved. I will love to take your dog on walks and in the future, I might open the doors to dogs as well. I’m all about giving your pets that personal touch, treating them like part of my home, and making sure they have a little vacation of their own. Can’t wait to meet your wonderful pets and give them a great stay! My work is hybrid, so I work from office only 3 days a week. I am open to host your cat(s) and or small bird(s) throughout the week (baed on my availability) On weekends and weekday evenings I will love to take dogs on a walks or do short puppy training sessions as well. When it comes to caring for pets, safety, trust, and creating the right environment are my top priorities. Whether it's in my home or a pet owner's, I've got it all covered. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly haven where furry friends can feel right at home. Plus, I'm well-versed in their needs, and will make sure they get the right food, exercise, and attention.
“Jailen took the best care of our sweet girl and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. She was communicative, kept me in the loop with a little scare, and kept the house tidy. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had a dog in the family since I was 11. Grew up with a lab/Great Dane. Adopted a bearded dragon at 19 and have had him since. Live with a 3 year old cat. Weekly Cincinnati animal shelter volunteer, letting your dogs walk me I have more time in the weekends and evenings due to work. On call 24/7 so availabilities may shuffle around. I usually care for my pets in the evening and very early morning consisting of feedings, bathings, and cleaning. I’m easily accessible and adaptable. My accessibility makes me easy to contact and my adaptability allows me to navigate many different situations. I have reliable transportation.

Nicholas was a great dog sitter. He sent daily texts and pics of our boys. He walked our high energy GSPs multiple times a day and kept them busy. The dogs immediately liked him and even slept in bed with him. He answered texts promptly, communicated well and left our house clean. I would definitely recommend Nicholas to care for your pup.
We have used Carrie several times now. She is an excellent dog sitter for our 2 fur babies. She made sure they were given their medication, played with, and were well fed. She goes above and beyond, sends lots of pictures, and even cleaned up before she left. We definitely recommend Carrie. 5 Stars!!
Laura did an amazing job watching my pups. She was very responsive with any questions or concerns leading up to and during the stay. She was considerate with my home and even helped water my plants and change the bed sheets before she left. Laura followed all my instructions well, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sincere and caring pet sitter.
Matthew was great! He helped me with short notice, which was greatly appreciated! The pups warmed up to him quickly and were more comfortable because they got to stay home. He had great communication and kept me updated with pics, which I love. I will definitely use Matthew again in the future!
This was the 2nd time Christine has taken care of our pets and home. Everything was in place, dogs and cats happy and looking good. Christine is an excellent communicator and very prompt. We already have her booked for a 3rd time and once we finalize our plans, we will book her for a 4th time.
Sara House Sat while my husband and I were out of town for the weekend and I would happily reach out to her again in the future! She took excellent care of our dog Lily and our cat Sam. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and left our home in great condition. Sara is reliable, trustworthy, and provides the best love/care for animals. Thank you!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

FAQs for House Sitting - Dry Run
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dry Run is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dry Run. 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 Dry Run 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 Dry Run 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 Dry Run 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dry Run. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
