“Zoe is the best and I highly recommend her! She’s easy going and was flexible to meet our time frame needs for leaving and return! She seemed very comfortable with dealing with our Remington who suffers from a bit of separation anxiety, typical of many Bernedoodles. She stayed at our home and made our Remi feel comfortable and loved! I hope I will be able to have her back for future his needs!”
“Rebecca worked very hard to keep our dogs comfortable and safe. She did a fantastic job, even with our very shy dog. she kept us updated throughout, We would definitely use her services again,”
“Alexis did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies. She made sure to keep them active, give lots of updates and make sure they felt spoiled and loved! Will definitely be using her in the future for all of our sitter needs!”
About: We have always had pets in the house, so taking care of them like they are family comes naturally. I currently have a dog, so understand the needs that come with ownership and will respect you and your animals the same way. I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, spiders, rabbits, fish, and reptiles, so whatever your friend, I can help. I have reasonable rates and stay in your home so the animals don't have to get accustomed to a new environment, lessening the stress on them. I have cared for elder dogs and puppies alike so will clean up after them as required. If all you need is a walker, I can help, too. I have to walk my dog a good distance to keep her calm (2+ miles), so I have sturdy shoes and am prepared to use them. I hope I can be of assistance to you! I do currently have a full time job and I may have errands to run or meet someone for dinner, but the majority of my time can be spent taking care of and just being with your pets, if that is required. I do prefer to stay in the house if you are a drive to cut down on the back and forth. But I normally bring my own food and clean as I go. My goal is to leave the place so you never knew I was there, except that your pet is well taken care of. I like to meet with the animals first to make sure we are compatible. After that, I am there to keep your routines in tact. If your dog needs walked or fed at specific times, I'm on it. If you cat requires 10 minutes of chin scratches before bed, I got you. If you need me to grab a delivery that happens while I'm there, absolutely. I want you to feel 100% confident your pet and house will be cared for. If I'm just walking for you and you have been working on a skill from your dog, let me know. I've put both my dogs through training and understand the importance of consistency.
“Mariah was amazing! She came to our house and watched our 2 dogs for 4 days and did a fantastic job! I got daily updates as well as pictures letting me know how the dogs were doing the whole time. She played outside with them and spent quality time with them! I knew they were in good hands while I was away. She listened to all of the directions and left our house very clean! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future bookings! If you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, book with Mariah!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tonie. She stayed with Walter for four days and when I got home, I couldn’t even tell I’d been gone. Walter was calm and happy and everything was absolutely perfect. Tony let me know that they were doing OK every day and I was so grateful to have her watching over Walter in my absence.”
“We had peace of mind leaving our four furry children (2 dogs, 2 cats) with Tracy. As we were new to Rover, Tracy walked us through the booking process and answered all of our questions. He kept us informed throughout his stay sending pictures and messages letting us know that all was well. We are very pleased with our experience.”
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
“Christie was fantastic! Biscuit does not like for us to leave her but she was actually good when we got home. Many times she has barked at us because she is mad that we were gone. She was glad to see us but not upset. Christie was very responsive by text and offered to send pictures while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Ariana is amazing! She came out to meet Gemma and go over instructions twice before we went out of town. Ariana sent pictures and kept us updated while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving Gemma in her care! We will definitely book Ariana again!”
“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”
“We are so thankful to have found Bree. She provided constant updates and was always willing to check in more if we wanted. We will 100% be using her for our extended vacations.”
“Sam was wonderful! She cleaned up after herself, communicated with us really well, and most importantly, loved and cared for our pup like we do. She was incredibly thoughtful and intuitive about his care, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands with her. We would absolutely have her back!”
About: I have been caring for pets of all ages, for 15 years. I have loved living with dogs and cats in the past. I currently do not have a pet so I’m excited to give yours all my attention! I work full time, from 8-5. I am free in the afternoons and weekends to either stop in or stay with them if needed. I will be diligent in following directions to try to keep them on their regular schedule as much as possible. I want to keep you and them happy and stress free!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Mill
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, we knew our pets were in great hands. They were loved, well-cared-for, and clearly spoiled with attention while we were away. We got updates, peace of mind, and came home to happy, relaxed pets — which says everything! Reliable, kind, and truly wonderful with animals. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to treat their pets like family. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry crew!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunn Mill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunn Mill. 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 Dunn Mill 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 Dunn Mill 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 Dunn Mill 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 Dunn Mill. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
