About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and reptiles since I can remember. All my life. I currently have 8 dogs of my own, 3 cats and a tortoise. I’ve bottle fed newborn kittens to elderly dogs who can no longer walk. I make my own dog food, dog treats and do basic training as well! I have open daily availability! My kids are in school during the day, and I work a few nights on the weekends, but can be available at any time. I would care for your pet at your home and come as often as needed. I can take them for walks, clean cat boxes, give them play time.
“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!”
“Took great care of my animals and home. Lots of updates throughout the day. Made my vacation stress-free and I returned home to framed photos of my pets. Appreciated the extra effort! Great sitter.”
“Dawn covered my time away at the last minute and over a holiday weekend. She then did me a favor by changing and washing my sheets for the bed she slept in. I would definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
“The best!! Took such great care of my dog, Gus! Gus usually doesn’t eat while we’re away, and this time he was eating all weekend. I could tell Gus got lots of love and good care while we were away 😊”
“Jennifer was amazing! She sent pics of Luna to let us know how she was doing throughout our trip. She even text me to make sure we got home okay after she had already left for the day. Will definitely be using her again in the future. ?”
“Patti is the best! This was her second time taking care of our boxers and we could not be more happy with the attention and love she provides to them. Extremely reliable and we would have her stay with them over and over again.”
“Katie was wonderful with our dog, Kalani, while we traveled to Buffalo. She was highly responsive and scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand, which gave us complete peace of mind. We returned to a clean and neat home, exactly how we left it. We highly recommend Katie 100% and will definitely be rebooking with her soon!”
About: I recently lost my puppy of 14 years, who was my world, so I decided to sign up to love on other dogs. I have volunteered at numerous shelters; taken training classes and first aid courses. I work from home part time, and am used to having a pup in-tow. I am almost always home and available, or outside carrying a leash. I am flexible and able to house sit and drop in. 5 min drive off I70 Exit 205 silverthorne. I know I just signed up, but am experienced and have plenty of time and space for your dog! You'll see 😁 I work from home, a few hrs per day. So that gives me a lot of flexibility and time for your pet. I am also available to house sit and do drop ins. I will provide a safe and caring home for your pup by offering daily exercise and playtime (and love), ensuring fresh food and water are always available, maintaining a clean and secure living environment, and seeking any veterinary care. I will also make sure your pet is comfortable and well loved, with plenty of attention and affection! 😊 I can send daily photos on request.
About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember! I grew up with family dogs of all sizes and had the joy of caring for my beloved German Shepherd, Buttercup, for many years. She crossed the rainbow bridge, but she definitely left me with a lifelong love of having a four-legged friend around. These days, friends often call on me to dog-sit, take their pups for walks, or get them out for a good run. I’m an avid trail runner, so if your dog is a running buddy, I’d love some company on the trails! If your pup prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy taking a leisurely neighborhood walk, sniffing all the important smells, and enjoying some fresh air together. 🐾 One of the biggest perks I offer is that I work remotely as a therapist providing tele-mental health services. As long as I have reliable Wi-Fi, I can work from wherever your dog is most comfortable. So while I’m working during the day, your pup gets the benefit of having someone around rather than being left alone for hours. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a senior who prefers cozy companionship and gentle walks, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to follow their lead. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely as a therapist providing tele-mental health services. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide care, companionship, walks, playtime, meals, and attention throughout the day while still maintaining my work commitments. I’m also an avid trail runner, so I enjoy getting outside with active dogs, while happily adjusting to a slower pace for pets who prefer leisurely walks and plenty of relaxation. I’m comfortable staying in a pet’s home and working around their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their people are away. I primarily provide care in the pet’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs or preferences. I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise and adventure, whether that means a trail run, a neighborhood walk, or simply some backyard time. For cats, I’m equally happy to provide playtime, attention, cuddles, or respectful space when they prefer to be left alone. I’ll keep food and water fresh, litter boxes clean, and your pet’s environment tidy. Because I work remotely, I can spend significant time in your home while continuing my regular work schedule. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love while you’re away.
“We had a last minute 5-day trip pop up, and fortunately Jamie responded quickly and scheduled a meeting. Sophie can be a little grumpy around new people, so we asked Jamie to bring her dog Copper which was the answer. Copper brought out the puppy in Sophie! Jamie shared videos of the two playing. The house was immaculate on our return and Sophie was friskier than usual. We might need to borrow Copper! Thank you for a great weekend. We will call Jamie for our next trip.”
“Morgan is just amazing. Communicating was great back and forth, even when our flight plans had to change. She took excellent care of our doggies and our house. She was here with the dogs for the vast majority of the day, which was important to me. She is my go-to sitter going forward.”
“AnnaLiese was great!!! We have never left our dog with a stranger before. Our dog loved her and she spent the day hiking with him and relaxing at her house while we went to a concert. I would definitely recommend AnnaLiese.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Dumont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 6,510 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.
<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 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 , 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.
