“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Veronica took such great care of Henry! She was prompt, communicative and sent lots of photos. I arrived home to a healthy and happy pup! Will definitely be asking her to come sit again!”
“Lucinda took good care of our Wheaten Terrier for several days while we were gone. She sent little updates and photos throughout the time which was comforting and appreciated. We would definitely enlist her service again.”
“Jamie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. He took excellent of my senior, arthritic, anxious pit bull and 4 ducks. He asked thorough, conscientious questions about their care which showed me how much he really cares. My dog Annie has difficulty walking long distances and Jamie was incredibly patient and kind with her. He also left our house extremely clean. Thank you, Jamie!”
“Tayler is a gem! She took great care of both our kitty and our house! Returned home to a well adjusted pet and a super clean house. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
“This is the second time that Mackenzie has sat for us, and she was wonderful as always! She was very on top of updates, and went out of her way to help and communicate with us when one of our dogs had a medical issue while we were away. I’m super grateful that we were able to find Mackenzie and hope to have her sit for us many more times in the future!”
“She was wonderful. This was the first time I was away from my rescue, who took it very hard. Ann knew just what to do and handled the situation, Miss Amanda Mae and me with care. I am very greatful”
“Alicia was an awesome house sitter! I'd recommend her for anyone. We were gone for a week and Alicia gave us every update we needed and went above and beyond our expectations. We had total piece of mind with Alicia watching our pup for the week. 5-stars, no doubt!”
“Avalon did an A+ job - our dogs loved her. She walked them and played fetch in yard with them. Also, she left the house neater than she found it. She is a true dog lover and we highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Laura was our first dog sitter we’ve used through Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. She kept us updated with lots of pics and left our home perfectly ready for our return. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Mark did a fabulous job with my dog who can be difficult. Stella seemed very happy in all the pictures I received. She went on adventures & yet she was bathed when I got home. The house was very well cared for. I will certainly use Mark again.”
“Kelly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pets (dog & cat) while I was away! This was my first time booking with Kelly and from initial request emails, to setting up a meet and greet and throughout the entire stay she was very communicative. I never had to ask for updates as she'd make sure to send them daily with pictures which I always really appreciate. 10/10 recommend booking with Kelly and I'll definitely be booking in the future.”
“Leaving a fearful, reactive Blue Heeler is incredibly stressful- Sydney handled everything flawlessly while house-sitting; during my absence, there happened to be tree trimming which required parking spots to be vacated, chimney inspections, and exterior repairs during hot weather (of course it just HAD to occur during the ONE period I wouldn't be home). She handled everything flawlessly including understanding my dog's triggers, respecting their boundaries during nervous moments, and took the time to build trust safely. Sydney sent fantastic updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who truly "gets" herding breeds and reactivity while being patient and gentle. I am so grateful and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Parrish took great care of our pets and sent lots of picture updates of their time together! We appreciated her quick responses and attention to care details. Highly recommend!”
“Matt was an excellent pet sitter. He was extremely easy to work with and took great care of our house and pets while we were away. He was always quick to respond, and I feel he went above and beyond to ensure we came home to a well-kept home and pets.”
“Chanel was a great cat and house sitter. She sent me pictures of my cat each day and kept me updated on how she was doing. She left my condo the same way she found it. She was great with communication before, during and after the pet sit. I would recommend Chanel for your pet sitting/house sitting needs.”
“Michael was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos daily, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Michael watch Hazel again.”
“Char and Ben were fantastic pet sitters for my two Danes. It was obvious from the meet and greet that they had experience and were very comfortable around X-lg dogs! The communication and photos were top notch. My dogs are quirky and Char and Ben were able to work with them on their picky eating and fear of the floor register. The Danes were very content when I came home so I knew they had gotten their needs met while I was gone. Bodhi is now moping around as he misses his new buddies. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.”
“Sparkle does a fantastic job caring for my high needs geriatric boxer pitbull. They are trustworthy, very diligent about medical needs, and easy to communicate with.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dunthorpe
Our cats took an immediate liking to Chanel on the initial visit before the House Sitting appointment. Chanel provided daily notes and photos and we were able to always feel confident that Mork and Mindy were getting the care and attention they needed while were away on our camping trip. Upon our return home it is was very obvious that the two cats had made a strong attachment to Chanel and they missed here when she went home. We would definitely rebook with Chanel for future House and Pet Sitting.
Ida was an amazing sitter for Smokey and Ernie over the 4th of July weekend! She sent daily photo and text updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even stayed with Smokey during the fireworks to help keep him calm, and I really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave him. When I got home, both of my boys were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Ida again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
Jackson was so great with nervous lil chihuahua over July 4th weekend! He gave great check ins and also notified us the second our dog was behaving out of the normal and we were able to figure it out together quickly. Our pup and our home were in great hands with Jackson. Thank you!!
Marianna was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies and house. She was super communicative and kind. She went above and beyond to keep the house clean and my babies happy with cuddles and walks. She updated us often and kept our minds at ease as we were traveling.
Carl was amazing with my 2 dogs. He watched my dogs for 11 days and took such good care of them. He kept in contact and was responsive when I would message him. He was overly considerate of my house and taking care of my dogs. I would highly recommend him and would definitely rebook him
This was our first time using Rover, and we had a wonderful experience. Janice was incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunthorpe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dunthorpe on Rover is $40.83 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 4,553 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunthorpe. 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 Dunthorpe 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 Dunthorpe 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 Dunthorpe 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.
