About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule, but I’m available for pet care before or after work and have more flexibility on my days off. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, or simply keeping them company. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions you provide. I’ll respect your home and your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

With over 8 years of experience in kennel care and working closely with shelter dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and individual needs.

Your dog’s happiness, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority! I am available from 8am-1pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturdays. I have open availability on Thursday and Fridays. Currently taking drop ins on a part time basis. Caring for pet’s in your home I will follow directions carefully on how you prefer your pet to be taken care of as well as your home.
“Charisma was very attentive to our sweet girls and took such great care of them while we were away. She provided updates throughout the stay and we knew our girls were in great hands which helped us truly relax during our vacation.”
About: I have worked with dogs and cats for over 8 years! I love getting to know new pets, and taking it at their pace until they're comfortable with me. I have extensive experience in canine enrichment, and helping with basic manners (sitting at doorway, leash control, "focus".) I also am Pet First Aid certified! I can't wait to meet your fur-end! I'm currently working full time at a dog daycare/lodging facility. I can normally be free after 7pm any day of the week, and sporadic days off normally during the week. I am very passionate, gentle, and patient! I'm more than glad to accommodate your pet in any way necessary to ensure their happiness and comfort.

“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
About: I've taken care of three huskies for the past 5 years and volunteer at my local humane society caring for pets in need of a new home. Through out the years I have grown an admiration for all kinds of dogs. Just moved to Texas and being away from my huskies have left a void in my heart which led me to try this app to meet and connect with other dogs. I hope that I can meet your expectations while caring for your loved one. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels happy and that they are enjoying their time as you enjoy yours away. I appreciate you reading this and considering me for your fur baby! Hope to hear from you soon! Friday evenings and weekends are my best days to pet sit as well as holidays. If you are looking to book me outside of these days please send me a message and will let you know if this is possible. I truly believe that a pets environment should be comfortable and make them feel safe. I will abide all of your rules and specifications and ensure that safety and trust are top priority when caring for your fur baby.
“Drew took outstanding care of our five crazy pups. It is no easy task to look after all of our dogs at once, and Drew did great! We came home to five happy puppies. We will absolutely use Drew again whenever the need arises.”
“Korbin went above and beyond during my 7 day trip. When my flight got cancelled he even stayed one more night! He is wonderful with my dogs and was very respectful of my house! Hire him- you won’t regret it!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have four rescue pups of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I regularly dog-sit for friends and family, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m very organized and flexible. I’m willing to work to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout the day and week. I’m available on weekdays, and I’m also available for overnight stays. I’m fully available on weekends and happy to adjust when possible to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve house-sat countless times and always treat pets and homes with care and respect. I’m responsible, well-mannered, and attentive to routines and instructions. I frequently volunteer at an animal shelter, which has helped me become comfortable working with all types of pets, temperaments, and energy levels. Pets are also welcome to stay at my home—my dogs are very friendly, and I can safely crate pets if needed or allow them to relax comfortably in my home, based on owner preference.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunlay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 987 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunlay. 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 Dunlay 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 Dunlay 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 Dunlay 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 Dunlay. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
