About: Hi there! My name is Kathleen, and I am a lifelong animal lover! 🐾 I’ve owned and cared for dogs my whole life, including 3 lovable Beagles, a spirited Siberian Husky, a sweet Maltese, and an adorable Dachshund mix. I've also rescued a few cats along the way. I’ve been dog sitting for years, helping out friends and family with their beloved pets, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love and care as if they were my own. In addition to pet sitting, I volunteer at Big Dog Rescue and with the Audubon Turtle Rescue 🐢, so I have experience with animals of all kinds. I live in a cozy condo with a backyard, perfect for a bit of outdoor play and fresh air. Your pet will be in safe hands, and I can’t wait to meet them! I’m available for dog sitting and would love to care for your pet! Whether you need someone for daily visits, overnight stays, or just a weekend away, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule. Feel free to reach out to discuss your specific needs and we can make sure your furry friend is well taken care of! Your pet's health and happiness are my top priority! I ensure a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for all the pets I care for. My home is kept tidy, with regular cleaning routines in place to make sure your furry friend has a hygienic space to relax and play. You can rest assured they’ll be well looked after in a loving, clean environment.

About: I've always adored animals ever since I was little. Growing up I was surrounded by not only cats and dogs but I also had a bird and chinchilla. From a young age, I was taught the correct ways to care for animals; now I have two dogs of my own. I have experience with watching multiple animals at the same time while providing different care for each animal individually based on what they need. I understand firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable and safe when trusting someone with your animals and I promise that I will provide the best care. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I am currently a student and work part-time, I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I can provide dependable, attentive care. I am committed to being upfront about my availability and only accepting bookings that allow me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. If my schedule aligns with your needs and it’s a good fit for both of us, I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s well-being and tailor my care to their individual needs, personality, and energy level to ensure they are happy and comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved family member. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Joely. I have loved pets before I can even remember. So I decided to become a pet sitter/walker! I am a caring pet lover with experience with dog sitting and dog walking. With over four year of experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and deserve individual attention. Whether this means providing a lot of exercise and playtime with pets who are energetic, or giving extra attention and patience to senior pets. I treat every pet I meet as if they were my own, and give them all the love they deserve! At home I have two dogs of my own-one small energetic 3 year old and one large senior dog-which has given me hands on experience with caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. From energetic playtime with my small dog to a slower routine with my larger dog. I offer: 30 Minute Dog Walks: include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or nearby trail to give your dog the exercise and fresh air they need during the day! 30 Minute Drop In’s: Include potty breaks, feeding, playtime to keep your pet comfortable while you are away. House Sitting: Sitting services include staying overnight with your pet so they have company and comfort in their own home. Daytime care for potty breaks, meals, and playtime. Currently I am home for the summer from college and I am taking 1 online summer class. So I have a lot of free time as I don’t have any other responsibilities or jobs. I usually spend an hour per day doing school work so I have plenty of time for pet care. I go to my clients home. I make sure I am following the clients schedule and making sure to keep the pet entertained and comfortable.

About: I’m extremely conscientious and caring. I value people’s routines because I also value my own routines. I know how important it is to feel your animal is well taken care of and loved while you’re away. To me it would be an honor to provide that reassurance. I have a flexible schedule. I worked as a medical assistant for over 8 years, primarily caring for geriatric patients. That experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following routines and individualized care plans. I bring that same level of compassion and adaptability to every pet because no two animals are the same. My home is always clean. Water bowls are refreshed daily, meals are served according to each pet’s normal schedule and portion sizes, and litter boxes are kept clean. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I appreciate a written list of your pet’s routine and any house rules so I can provide consistent care and make everything run smoothly.

Kathleen was the most wonderful pet sitter ever! Not only did my 2 dogs and cat love her but so did we! She stayed at my house for 2 weeks while we were in Spain and cooked for them and even watered our plants and took care of our house. My babies were so well taken care of and loved! ❤️ I definitely will be using her every time! I recommend you do too!

Well, our pups have a new Auntie! I can only say that Auntie Evelyn went above and beyond. Not only is she very professional, she is very warm and caring. Evelyn will take extra care and spoil your furbabies. She watched Maggie & Milo in our home, and when we returned back from vacay, our home was cleaner than before we left. I highly recommend Evelyn for all your pet sitting needs. Can't wait to go away again. Thank you and see you soon! Fred & Lisa & Maggie & Milo

About: I grew up surrounded by pets, learning to love and care for them as a heartfelt way of giving back the unconditional love they always give Being self-employed gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to pet care every day. I can easily adjust my schedule, making sure pets receive consistent walks, play, and companionship and loving attention whenever your pets need it When I care for pets in your home, I carefully follow your instructions so their routine stays the same and they always feel secure. In my own home, pets have lots of space to move freely and a safely enclosed patio where they can enjoy fresh air without any risk of escaping. Most importantly, they are always with me never crated so they get love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was very young, always had a knack for it, I feel I’m at my happiest caring for an animal. I feed, play/entertain, walk, and can even bathe them. Nothings too tough for me. I used to have to take care of my old dog, it was hard because she had arthritis so she couldn’t even get up at times to go to the bathroom so I would carry her and even spoon feed her other times(she was a lab). She was an amazing pet and I miss her every day. I can also take care of multiple pets at a time, wether it be a cat and a dog or just dogs or just cats. I am currently working part time at a restaurant as a server while also finishing my bachelors at FAU as a graphic designer. I am available to work almost everyday if my schedule doesn’t allow it I will let you know but I tend to work more during the daytime.

About: 🐶 Hi, I’m Denise — Your Pet’s New Favorite Human Animals aren’t just something I care for — they’re part of my world. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, chickens, and even rescue bunnies, and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level. I take my time, let them set the pace, and give them affection, patience, and presence. 💻 I Work From Home — Your Pets Get Full Attention Because I work remotely, I’m home with your pets most of the day. That means: Consistent company and supervision No long stretches alone Plenty of walks, playtime, or lap time Your pet becomes my “co-worker,” and I couldn’t ask for better company. I maintain a flexible schedule for multiple breaks throughout the day and evening. I love long walks, throwing the ball or just cuddles while watching TV. I truly love animals and would treat your precious one as if they were my own.

This is my fourth time hiring Yanela for overnight stays to watch Rosco (dog) and Bongo (bird) while I'm away on business. There's a reason I keep going back, and there's not enough space to even describe how amazing she is. She's a true animal lover and treats every pet as her own. I just wanted a set of eyes on my pets, but she takes Rosco everywhere! She takes him for walks, goes to parks, watches movies, and takes naps with him in the hammock. Rosco is treated like a spoiled rock star! She constantly sends pics or videos, so you'll always know your pets are in good hands and doing great. She also sends pics when she arrives, when they're fed, and when they're put to bed. I have a housekeeper, so I told Yanela to leave the bed unmade, but she makes it up beautifully and leaves everything spotless. You won't even know she was there. She is perfect beyond belief, and if you hire her one time, you'll understand. If there's anything negative to say, I think Rosco is starting to like her more than me! He's always so thrilled to see his "Aunt Yanela," and that means I can leave with total confidence that everything will be handled with great care. Rosco says "woof," which I think is Chihuahua for "thank you so much for a super fun weekend and taking great care of me!" He's looking forward to seeing her again in April. So, if you just need a sitter, you can probably find many good ones on Rover.com But if you need someone who shines brighter than all, who's super responsible, and who will treat your pets with the utmost care, attention, and love, Yanela is your five-star choice!

Anaelle is a beautiful (inside and out), nurturing, patient, and hard working caregiver. She is super generous with her time and talents. She charmed our grow quirky dogs — including a special needs elderly dog with dementia and organ failure plus her high-energy, noisy young dog friend. Our home was cleaner than when I left and our dogs were happy with no stress upon return. For a Thanksgiving weekend with no worries and regular updates, Anaelle’s care was one more thing to be grateful for. Obviously, we will be using her services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunes Road

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Dunes Road on Rover is $73.82 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 3,297 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.

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 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 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.

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.
