“Could not have asked for anything more. So attentive and communicative. Above and beyond in every possible way. Thanks for all the pictures and updates. Thanks for the daily walks. Thanks for the love you gave to Toby and Freya. Left my house clean and tidy. Highly recommend!!!”
“Rissa was great with our pup Charlie. He is normally shy but warmed up quickly to her! She has excellent communication skills and so the updates were spot on. It really made us comfortable while we were away knowing Charlie was being well cared for by Rissa with snuggles, nice walks, and playtime. 😊 We would definitely have her again and recommend her care.”
“Hi Anthony, even in your own health emergency, you still managed to care for Sansa. Bailey was an excellent emergency fill in. I hope you are on the mend soon. Again, your ability to work to ensure Sansa was well cared for means the world to us. We look forward to working with you again.”
About: I have been a pet sitter for years who specializes in dog care and training. I have a zoology degree from NCSU and 1.5 yrs experience as a kennel technician. During the school year I am a teacher so I am looking for income over the summer working remotely. Looking to supplement another part-time job. Currently I live in a townhouse with my dog 6 year old dog Mickey and 1 year old cat Guinness. Mickey is a 6yr old lab Dalmatian mix who is well trained and loves to play with other pups. I typically love setting up dog play dates and walks. Guinness is a spunky 1 year old black cat. Social, but does his own thing.
“Kristine communicated well and sent frequent updates. I could tell she cared for my pup like it was her own and made me feel at ease while I was traveling and away from my dog.”
“Chelsea took care of Charlie for a week, she sent multiple pics every day, took him outside for play and cuddled with him at night. House was clean and neat just as we left it. Our first booking with Rover and Chelsea but definitely not our last!”
“Keara was responsive when I reached out. I do wish we had gotten more updates on our critters, but they were fed, watered, and let out on a regular schedule during her stay.”
“Awesome job! ???This was the longest I've ever been gone from my pup. He was loved and well taken care of. Lots of plays and snuggles. I came home to a happy dog, lots of pics while I was gone to keep me updated. Highly recommend Mike for your pet sitting and dog walking!”
“Thanks to Meaghan, I was completely comfortable leaving my cat and my house in her care while away. She's a very calming presence and quickly made friends with my cat, as well as giving her medicine and watering my plants. She had a family emergency that meant leaving for the weekend but let me know promptly so I could make other arrangements while she was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Kristina took impeccable care of my cat. She sent me multiple pics and video of him daily and it eased my worries about leaving him. Highly recommend Kristina!”
“This was our first time using Brooke a she will be our #1 choice for future petsitting needs. She was an exceptional cat and dog sitter! Brooke was attentive, a great communicator (sending pictures and updates daily), and made sure everything went smoothly. We felt at ease knowing our fur babies were in such good hands while we were gone. She went above and beyond, and it truly showed. I would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you!!”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”
“I am so thankful that I found JR to take care of my precious pup! I’ve always been able to leave her with family or friends and neighbors when away from home so this was the first time having someone else take care of her. And I couldn’t have found anyone better than JR. She bonded quickly with my dog and they had a great time together. Always updated me with great photos and updates and took great care of the house as well. I just hope she’s available next vacation!”
“Matt took great care of my two large dogs! He came to meet them prior to taking the booking so that we were both comfortable. He stayed at our house for a week and we had zero issues! He gave daily updates with pics of our dogs, which was very reassuring, and asked questions to be sure of our preferences. Upon return, our house was just as we left it and the dogs were safe and happy. I have recommended Matt’s services to a friend and will absolutely book him in the future!”
“Daniel did a great job with our two boys. We have one who requires a lot of work because he is anxious, and the worst he did was eat a couple of paper napkins, which is a minor miracle. We really appreciated Daniel's dedication to them, and we would definitely hire him again.”
“This was my first time leaving my pets with a sitter. Kate came over twice beforehand to help put my mind at ease. She took good care of my three fur babies and house while I was away. She sent pictures throughout the stay and always responded when I messaged her. I would use Kate again in the future.”
About: I had 3 family dogs growing up who were my best friends, there wasn’t a day that went by that we didn’t spend time together. When they became seniors, I gave them my full care and attention up until they passed. Caregiving still feels like it’s a part of me, and I just love the happiness and joy that dogs or any pets bring into this world! Having gone from full time care to having so much more time is a big shift for me, so I would greatly enjoy to continue to share the love and care I still have with your pets as well! I work part time and find myself having a lot of free time and I would love to be there with your pet! I will make sure to schedule feeding times or drop ins around my work hours, and on my off days I’m more than willing to spend lots of time with your pet! When caring for your pet I will make sure they feel comfortable and safe by following their usual routines, giving lots of love, and making sure their environment is clean and secure. I want to make your fur baby feel happy and well-cared for while you are away!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and reptiles for the past three years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I have hands-on experience walking dogs, feeding them, providing companionship, and caring for them while their owners were away. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I would treat your pets with the same love and care that I would my own. I’m currently enrolled in a hybrid college program, with in-person classes only two days a week and the rest of my coursework completed online at my own pace. This gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care requests. I’ll always treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duncan
Elizabeth took great care of Toffee and Athena. There was an emergency with Toffee and Elizabeth quickly took action, getting in touch with our emergency contact, and getting Toffee the medical care he needed. No one wants their furry loved ones to need help, but you can trust that Elizabeth will handle any emergency situation if one arises.
Met Kaylee before the dog sitting. For her to meet the dogs. Kaylee was very good with meeting the dogs and understanding expectations. Kaylee is responsible. This young lady has good life experience. At first met with the dogs they settled right in with her. I’ll use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Duncan on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,996 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duncan. 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 Duncan 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 Duncan 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 Duncan 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.

- 97% 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.
