About: Growing up my family was a cat family so I worked with cats since middle school always taking care of them as a child. Later in the years I would watch over my neighbors dogs and cats and I have been doing that for a little side in high school when the travel for vacation. So I’m a flight attendant and I fly for about three days a week and the the rest of the week I’m free. I can also make my own schedule so I’m very flexible on days and weekends. For my home it’s a gated community and I’m in house with two roommates and in our community there is a mini dog park. For the Clint house I’m respectful I have done other jobs where I would be in the clients home I used to do swimming lessons in the summer by driving to peoples homes.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a baby. From docile dogs to more energetic breeds, I’ve had them all. I am a lover of all breeds! I’ve learned their moods and all of the signs so I know what to look for in the pups. I also enjoy keeping them busy if that’s what they need, or if they’re a more relaxed breed, I’m very good at taking a chill pill and just spending time with them! I am currently working part time and am looking for something fun to do. I love animals, especially dogs so this is something that fits in with my daily schedule. I live in a safe apartment complex that comes with a fenced-in dog park. I am willing to crate pups if it’s needed!

“First time ever leaving my babies with anyone but family. Dave did a job beyond our expectations. He sent photos and video every day while we were on a 7 day cruise. Our house was left like no one was here. I suggest always interview your sitter as we interviewed 3. Dave will be our permanent rover sitter. Rover should have other sitter’s just like him as a company standard. Five plus STARS!!”

About: I have worked in grooming salons as a bather for over 5 years on and off as well as a handler at a doggy daycare in Boynton Beach. I have dog sat many times for personal friends, and I personally own an 80lbs+ sweet dog myself. Very comfortable walking and playing with big dogs of varying temperaments. I am happy to provide references for my interactions with doggy day care handling, dog sitting references, and general work references. I am currently in between contract work and have open availability to play with your pup as much as desired! Usually my mornings and afternoons will be the most convenient times I am a very cautious and alert dog walker. My own dog gets excited easily and will lurch for food (or non food) on the ground and I am very skilled at keeping him safe while still having fun on his walk. I am a very loving pet sitter and will give your dog plenty of love at home during visits or playtimes.

“We had a wonderful experience with Tayla while she watched our dog Kazak for a week. From the very beginning, she was communicative, kind, and reliable. Tayla checked in regularly, sent updates, and never hesitated to ask thoughtful questions when she needed clarification—something we truly appreciated. It was clear that she was attentive and genuinely cared about Kazak’s well-being. We returned home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a peaceful home. Highly recommend Tayla to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for animals, from my own pets and family pets to working in the pet industry. I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, and bunnies, and I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, quirks, and way of communicating. I really enjoy taking the time to get to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. My experience also includes pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, training, enrichment, and learning about pet nutrition and everyday animal care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household preferences. I’ve also worked with pets who need a little extra patience or understanding, and I believe the best care comes from paying attention to the little things—whether that's recognizing when a shy pet needs space, giving an energetic dog plenty of play and exercise, or simply keeping a nervous animal company. Most importantly, I don't see pet care as simply a job. I genuinely love animals, and I want every pet I care for to feel like they're spending time with someone who truly enjoys being around them. 🐶🐱🐰🐠🦜🐍💕 I’m available Monday–Friday from 5:00 PM–11:45 PM, with open availability on weekends from 10:00 AM–11:45 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can be flexible when possible. 😊 Whether your pet needs an evening visit, a late-night check-in, or weekend care, I’d love to help! 🐶🐱💕 I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their care begins. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and keep their environment clean, secure, and comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings. When caring for pets in my own environment, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised space where their safety and comfort come first. I never assume every pet has the same needs, so I adjust my approach to each individual animal. I also believe communication is a big part of trust. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕

I am very flexible as I am retired and can arrange my schedule to fit your needs. I make sure they are safe at all times. I monitor them for any behavioral changes, ensure there is nothing harmful in their vicinity, and just overall make sure the pet is relaxed and happy. I would never leave a pet in a distressed state.

About: My family recently lost our two beloved dogs at the ages of 14 and 15. While we aren't ready to adopt a new pet just yet, we deeply miss the companionship of animals. To fill that void and share our love for pets, I have decided to offer pet sitting services in our home. Both of our dogs had special needs towards the end of their lives, and we went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. This experience has instilled a deep understanding of animal care and a commitment to providing the highest quality of care to our clients' furry friends. We are extremely loving and attentive individuals who are passionate about providing a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pets while you're away. As I work from home, we can offer flexible scheduling and frequent check-ins to ensure your pets are happy and content throughout the day. My remote work schedule allows for seamless integration of pet sitting into my daily routine. Mornings will begin with a bathroom break or walk as needed. When I start working I can keep your pet in my home office for companionship or leave alone for an afternoon slumber. Throughout the day, I maintain flexibility for quick check-ins, for the pet owner and pet. Evenings are dedicated to dinner, playtime, and snuggles with the pets before their bedtime routines. This schedule prioritizes the needs of the pet while maintaining a productive work environment for me. I can adjust this schedule on request to accommodate the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive adequate exercise, stimulation, and attention throughout the day Pets will be treated as family members in our smoke-free, pet-free home. I will deliver attentive care, including regular feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I will prioritize their comfort and safety, ensuring a loving and stress-free environment.

“I am absolutely thrilled with the outstanding dog sitting service provided by Alix for our three Pomeranians! From the moment we left until our return, Alix demonstrated a level of care, responsibility, and genuine affection that surpassed all expectations. Alix not only ensured our dogs were well-fed and exercised but also took the time to send regular updates and adorable pictures, which kept us at ease throughout our time away. The attention to detail, including securing the dogs in their original cages, speaks volumes about Alix's commitment to their safety and well-being. We returned to happy and healthy pups, a testament to the exceptional care they received. Alix's professionalism, communication, and obvious love for animals make her an absolute gem. We are immensely grateful for her dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Alix, for going above and beyond – you are truly the best.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunes Road

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Dunes Road on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $105 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 3,282 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunes Road. 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 Dunes Road 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 Dunes Road 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 Dunes Road 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 Dunes Road. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
