I highly recommend Tricia M. It was a great experience for us over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Dogs were well cared for and relaxed when we got home. I appreciate the updates and pictures of the pups. This was a much better option than boarding, worked out so well!

Victoria spent Friday thru Sunday housesitting and pet sitting Hazel. She did a good job - great communication and I appreciated all the photo updates. We’ve already rebooked her for another upcoming vacation.

Super easy and relaxed house-sitter experience. Christy was responsive, present, and an engaged house-sitter. House was pleasantly clean when we arrived and most importantly animals seemed happy and healthy.

About: Hi! I’m Kiara, and I have over 4 years of experience walking and caring for pets of all kinds. I’m passionate about providing reliable, attentive care and making sure each animal’s routine, exercise, and comfort needs are met. I prioritize safety, follow any instructions from owners closely, and create a calm, comfortable environment so pets feel secure while you’re away. I am currently working full time 8am-5pm in Elkhart on weekdays, but I am happy to provide care whenever is possible especially overnight and on weekends! I prioritize safety and trust in every interaction. My home (or the space where I care for pets) is secure and free of hazards, and I always supervise pets closely. I follow any routines or instructions owners provide, including feeding, exercise, and behavior guidelines. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

Rebecca was amazing! My dogs liked her the minute she came in the door! It was so reassuring to know Rebecca was caring for our babies while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home. We definitely recommend her for drop in visits or - as in our case - full time care in our home. We like to travel, and will definitely be calling Rebecca for our next trips!! Thank you very much, Rebecca! P.S. Avalon and Sierra miss you! ??

About: Hi! My name is Sammi, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up, dogs were always part of my family, and I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs. One of our family dogs had three litters of puppies, so I gained a lot of experience caring for newborn puppies and helping them grow. Over the years, several of our dogs have also joined our family as puppies, so I’m very familiar with puppy behaviors, potty training routines, and their needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats as well. We currently have two cats, with opposite personalities so I understand the difference care and attention different cats need. Because I’ve spent so much time around animals, I’m comfortable recognizing their body language and routines. I can usually tell when a dog needs to go outside, wants to play, needs quiet time, or just wants company. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or just someone to care for them, I will treat them with the same attention and care that I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and animals I am currently a server. My schedule varies but is also very flexible so I can change it at any time to fit you and your animals needs! I have a fenced in yard, home of 3 huskies and 2 cats. All of my animals are very friendly and welcoming to new faces!

Casey did the most fabulous and wonderful job dog-walking and house-sitting with my 'pack' of three mongrels!! Thank you, Casey! She was communicative, friendly, and kept the house immaculate while I was away. My three dogs are a lot to handle, truly, and required many walks per day, which she handled like a pro. Plus, Casey had great ideas for my dogs' overall wellbeing after spending so much time with them. She's a natural dog 'mom' for sure! My babies very calm and happy when I returned home. Casey made my work trip abroad 1000x easier. I will definitely be booking her services the next time I need help!

Angie was absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and cat for the 4 days I was gone. She stayed in my home and left everything even better than when she arrived! Angie asked if I wanted pics and info and then did a great job keeping me updated with pictures. One of my dogs has a seizure disorder and Angie had no problem giving him his medicine on schedule 2 times a day. I HIGHLY recommend having her watch your pets in any way you need. She loves animals and is really exceptional with them!

About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.

About: I’ve taken care of my two Labs ever since I was 6 years old, (i’m 21 now) and have been dog sitting and cat sitting the past four summers!! Also I have worked in a vet clinic the past four years as well. I have the special skill of administering medication! I’m currently working part time at the vet clinic in the afternoons and it’s only 2-4 days a week usually. I can dog walk or pet sit in my free time during the day and on weekends. Possibly for a week or so. I unfortunately cannot watch them in my own home due to not having a good yard for them because it has a pool and not much area to run around. And also my dads allergies. I would have to watch them in your home.

We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking such good care of Sophie. We left her for the 1st time in 6 years, and Alyssa took wonderful care of her and kept us at ease every day with updates and pictures. Sophie isn't easy, and she is like our child, so trust me when I say that you can trust Alyssa with your fur baby. We will not hesitate to call Alyssa when we go anywhere again, and now we have the peace of mind to make future plans!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunlap

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Dunlap on Rover is $42.8 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 260 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunlap. 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 Dunlap 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 Dunlap 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 Dunlap 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dunlap. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
