About: I'm an animal lover, and I have been pet sitting for many years through friends and referrals, as well as through TrustedHousesitters. I've had animals most of my life, but none currently. I've also volunteered at shelters for many years, and I have trained and worked in animal rescue. I also volunteered doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, for which I received an honorary award from the Humane Society. I'm comfortable with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I have specialized experience with dogs, including dog behavior and dog rescue. I will take pride in providing excellent care for your animals, plants and home. I have many excellent reviews on TrustedHousesitters and Airbnb, and I can provide those links for reference. I work remotely on a flexible, part-time schedule, and I can tailor my schedule around my pet sitting commitments. My weekends often include hiking or trail running, and I'm also happy to take your dogs on hikes or runs if you'd like. Let's chat! I'm flexible with arrangements depending on the service I'm providing. - For pet sitting in your home while you're away, I would like a clean and comfortable space for me to settle in while caring for your animals. - For dog walks and/or drop-in visits, I'm very flexible. - Please just reach out to discuss details on these and other possible pet services. - Contact me for special pricing on long pet sits.
“Patti was great! very responsive and professional. She sent me lots of pictures and videos during her stay. Left me house in great condition and my dogs seems well taken care of! I would recommend her to others and would use her again!”
“Emma did an absolute amazing job with my pup! Kept in contact and sent pics. I would highly recommend her! She not only took great care of Bear Bear, but also of my home. Thank you Emma!”
“Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!”
“Sasha was literally incredible. This is the first time I've ever used Rover and I was scared; we've all heard the horror stories about this app, but I am so grateful for Sasha! My dog loves her and I fully trust her with him. If you need a dog sitter, I highly suggest Sasha! 🐾❤️”
“Cheryl was absolutely amazing during the two weeks caring for our pup and home. We received pictures and updates every day, which was a true easing of our hearts, and upon our return, our home was spotless. She even cleaned the sheets on the bed she had been using so our daughter had her own bed after a long trip. Will definitely be looking to have her return!”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I pay attention to what each pet needs, whether it’s a bouncy pup who needs play or a senior dog who deserves patience and a softer pace. I just want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am available full time and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dogs, giving them consistent attention, playtime, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. In my care, they get a safe, comfortable environment, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine.” In client homes, I respect your space and follow your dog’s normal routine, making sure they have fresh water, a comfy place to rest, and, of course, lots of love and supervision
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“Melissa was a great pet sitter! She stayed at our house with JJ (our large German Shepherd mix pup) while we were traveling, and gave him lots of love and attention. She was timely, communicated well, was flexible with our schedule, sent cute pictures and updates each day, and went above and beyond to accommodate a short-notice stay. She left the house clean and neat. We will be glad to book her again if she is available when we are traveling.”
“So happy with Katy. Katy was on time respectful and accommodating. She took good care of our two cats for 6 days and 5 nights. Lots of pictures and play time. She was very patient and let them come to her in their time. The house was clean, bed clothes and towels washed. She even made the bed so when we got home in the evening we didn’t have to do anything but go to bed. After Katy left the shy cat walked around the corner and looked down the stairs for her. Katy left a lasting impression on all. Katy gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our trip. So glad we found her and will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks again Katy.”
“Moriah was amazing! She was so communicative and our fur babies looked like they were having a blast in every pic update 😊 we truly appreciated how she left our place so clean and respected our home and needs for the stay!”
“Samuel was the best dog sitter we have ever had. He was attentive to our dog and took good care of our house. I can not recommend his service enough. Thanks again Samuel. You made our vacation stress free!”
About: I recently lost my faithful German Shepherd of 11 years. She was my ride or die. Now I’m looking to spend some time pet sitting for others and live their bff’s while they are away. I’m an animal lover and treat all animals as my best friend. I promise to provide your pets with the love and attention they are used to. If your dog needs lots of physical activity, I’m a runner and hiker so I promise they won’t be bored. If they just prefer to snuggle, I work from home so they won’t be left alone. I love spending time with so many different pets. I currently work from home so while I’m at your home your pets will be left alone a very minimum amount of time. I’m an early riser so if a morning walk is appropriate we will do that. I take an hour lunch break to pay with your pets or walk them. After work we will either play or walk. I can accommodate any level of exercise required. I love to take pups on car rides if that’s acceptable. If you leave me a list of rules and daily schedules I will follow them. I understand the importance of keeping a dog on a schedule. I will only walk your dog on leash and ensure that they are secured with me anytime we leave your home.
About: I have years of both professional and personal experience caring for animals. l've worked in veterinary clinics and spent 3 years as an Animal Care Technician, where I cared for animals with a wide range of medical needs, personalities, and temperaments. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and recognizing when an animal may need a little extra attention or patience. I've also been a dog owner for over 15 years, and my dogs truly are my children and my entire world. Their happiness, comfort, and well-being always come before my own, and I'll bring that same level of love and attentiveness to your pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else's care. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who needs a slower pace, or has special care needs, l'm happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I'm a self employed full time artist and I work from home. My schedule is completely flexible and I can dedicate lots of time to be attentive and there for all your pets needs. Whether l'm caring for your pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I'll always follow your care instructions closely and adjust my approach to what makes your pet happiest. l'll do my best to keep their normal routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and affection. I'll also respect your home and make sure everything is left just as I found it.
“Becky did such a great job sitting Reggie especially since it was such a last minute urgent need. She sent a lot of updates, photos and videos of Reggie which was super reassuring. I would definitely recommend Becky!”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Ayla and Han did a great job caring for our dog while we were out of town. They sent updates as often as requested and have always been very responsive and professional. They stayed at our house while we were gone and left our house spotless. I would highly recommend!”
About: I decided long ago I'll never live without a dog in my life. I'll treat your dogs as my own while they are in my care. Sadly, my two big dogs passed away this past year and we miss them terribly. I take special care of senior dogs, giving them extra love. I've also been teaching those close to me how to train dogs. There's no reason to gate keep that knowledge. So not only can I train your dogs, but I can also teach you everything I know. We begin our day with cuddles and stretches. I work from home and enjoy a half acre, fenced in back yard in Lakewood. We walk the neighborhood, as well as Crown Hill and Sloans Lake. I have a small home with a huge yard. My little dog lost her two big brothers this past year and we're looking forward to hosting your dog/s to come play and cuddle. She's a typical little dog who barks at you ~~ then cuddles you.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dumont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dumont. 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 Dumont 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 Dumont 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 Dumont 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.

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.
