“Mary went above and beyond this past weekend caring and loving our precious dog and family member Rory. She kept us updated, sent pictures of their time together making us feel so secure using this service for the first time. Truly a huge load off our minds during a stressful/important time enabling us to enjoy all the special moments of our daughter getting married.”
“Adrienne took such excellent care of our two pups while we were in Europe for a week. We loved getting fun picture and activity updates along the way. She always makes it feel like the pups are getting a doggie staycation! Cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Raven does an excellent job. Very conscientious. Thinks ahead. She took excellent care of my Sugar and was responsive to my requests for updates & pictures of my baby. Super flexible. I would recommend Raven without a second thought to anyone that needs care for their fur baby.”
“I used Ashleigh for my first time using Rover, and I had THE BEST first experience! Traveling while having pets is tough. I'm such a nervous fur mom. Ashleigh made us feel at ease from the beginning to end! We recieved lots of pictures & videos, my kids & I were SO grateful for those!! We were able to relax on a 7 night trip knowing she was watching our pets in our home. Ashleigh went above and beyond. 100/10 Highly recommend !!!!”
“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I've been around a many types animals since my Youth from Small dogs (Chihuahuas & Shih Tzus) to Large Dogs (German Shepherd & Great Danes) I'm a Female Veteran and Grandmother of my two Grandsons that are currently in Daycare and my schedule is FLEXIBLE and love affection of Dogs that wants lots of Belly Rubs ☺️ I'll abide by the Homeowner wishes and Requirements in their Home from Entering & Leaving the home Secured to the Dogs Potty Breaks and Meal Times too.
“Jacqueline was great with Harper and stayed with her for a week while we were on vacation. She gave me frequent updates and I was comfortable that Harper was well taken care of while we were gone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.
“SO greatful for Stella! She was incredibly communicative and reliable—our dog was so happy with her while we were away. A literal dream come true for my anxious-brain; Stella was the best pet sitter I’ve ever employed. We will be using her exclusively moving forward and highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who truly cares about your animal and will allow you invaluable peace of mind while you’re away.”
“Megan was great! She watched my puppy and house for a weekend and always kept us updated. She was very communicative. My dog seemed to love her and she left the house clean and organized.”
“Leslie was very helpful! she was able to make last minute plans for us with adjustments to our timing too. she provided daily updates and she definitely cared for our cat who had had a very minor surgery right before a family trip. Highly recommend! Thanks!”
“This was my first booking with Rover and if Tonia is an example of the quality and compassionate pet sitters....we will be back! Tonia was prompt, kind, attentive and a life-saver (last minute scheduling request). We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Tonia and Rover! From Tucker's mom & dad.”
About: I have never met an animal I didn't love immediately, am very patient with every pet, and always make sure your fur baby is comfortable. I'm currently pursuing my degree in an online college, so I have plently of time to play, snuggle, walk, and care for your pets during each day and night! I always make sure to abide by your pet's feeding schedules, give plenty of playtime, administer medication if needed, have cuddles, go on walks, clean up any messes, and ensure your pets are comfortable and safe with me at all times.
“Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!”
About: I’ve been around and loving animals my whole life. I have had my dog Copper since I was a puppy and as he has gotten older I have learned how to care for older senior dogs and the responsibility that comes with that. My more recent pup, Buckley, I got a couple years ago. I trained and raised her myself so I also have experience with puppy care as well. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I volunteered at an Animal Shelter as a pet adoption counselor and dog walker, so I have lots of experience with a wide variety of breeds and pet safety. I currently have a 2 year old cat named Cleo that I am the sole caretaker for, and have a lot of experience cat sitting as well. As a first-year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at UC, I spend a lot of time at my desk studying and would love a furry study buddy! My class schedule fluctuates week-to-week between 9 AM and 4 PM, so I am generally unavailable for midday check-ins during the week (unless you live right next to campus). However, my evenings and weekends are completely wide open and dedicated to pet care. I love going for long walks to clear my head after class and am more than willing to house-sit and spend the night. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship when I am off campus! With my background as a dog walker and shelter adoption counselor, I am fully trained in pet safety, reading animal body language, handling worst-case scenarios, and administering medications. Because I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs, I easily adapt to whatever level of care and attention your pet requires, making sure they get at least one good walk a day or a fun weekend trip to a local park or hike. I am also passionate about feline enrichment and love setting up daily toy rotations or interactive puzzles to keep cats mentally stimulated and happy. To ensure your pet stays completely comfortable in their own routine and to keep my own cat happy at home, I exclusively provide care in your home and am more than happy to house-sit and spend the night so your furry family member gets plenty of evening cuddles, consistent companionship, and the best care possible!

“Katie was fantastic! Our fur babies were well taken care of and seemed tired out from their play times with Katie! Thank you so much! We'll be contacting Katie next time we need someone to look after our two trouble makers! 💚”
About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dunlap is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $63 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

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.
