“We’ve got 2 quirky dogs—one very anxious and one pretty reactive—and Natalie did great with both. She stayed at our house, kept everything in great order, and sent us lots of updates and responded to feedback. We really felt like we had a teammate. The dogs were really happy”
“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!”
“Ann is amazing!! We had to leave for a last minute trip and she was so helpful and accommodating, even offering to come by the day before to meet our dogs and get the run down. She was a great communicator and our dogs were very well cared for. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”
“Our doggo was well cared for. We were able to see the care put in by Lucinda and grateful for the service she provided while away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was so well looked after. Thank you Lucinda!”
“Tabitha was kind, caring, and loving of our pets! She was very attentive to their personalities and sent us lots of photos, which we always appreciate when away from home. Would 100% recommend Tabitha to anyone!”
“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!”
“Our first time with Celeste and we were very happy with her care of our fur kids. She took care of our two old pups - one who loves everyone and one who is less than thrilled with humans in general. The grumpy guy even liked her. And our three-legged cat was happy too. We got photos and videos daily, and everyone seemed happy and content. We will definitely have Celeste over again.”
“Sydney did a fantastic job watching our two fur babes and our place! Communication was A+!! Our house looked as if we had never left. The fur babes took to her instantly! We would highly recommend Sydney for all your pet sitting needs! We will 100% be back!”
“Sparkle house sat for our 2 1/2 year old dog & 12 year old cat, for a weekend. Sparkle was excellent in letting us know when they had arrived & when they had left the house. They were very diligent & patient getting to know our dog. And he clearly adores Sparkle. Our standoffish cat also warmed to Sparkle. Excellent care to our fur babies. Plenty of photos. Sparkle was very tidy & I very much appreciate their effort. They have strong communication skills. And the neighbors were delighted to meet them. We are hoping for many more visits.”
“Kyle is great. He followed through on our scheduling coordination. He sent lots of pictures while he was with our animals. Very kind and considerate. I’ll be using him again and soon too!!”
“Shaolin was fantastic! I could tell my pup was in good hands, she got comfortable with Shaolin right away. She did a great job at providing pictures while staying at my home. The updates were wonderful and much appreciated. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Our three cats were happy and the garden and house were well cared for. Danielle was easy to communicate with. I would definitely call on her again when I have the need for a house sitter.”
“We had a wonderful day out with visiting family, knowing that our dog was safe under Grace's care at our home. Grace is very friendly, reliable and willing to do all that we expected to serve our dog in our absence. We would certainly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs for over 5 years now, including those reaching the end of their life span and with specialized health needs. I’m currently a full time student, but have full availability Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and will be open after 1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I can easily crate and walk dogs as needed, and play to fulfill any health/social needs! I’m also good with keeping distance if that required.
“Renee pet/house sat for me for 8 days during the holiday season… and I’m so grateful for her! She took great care of my 2 dogs and my home. I will hire her again. Leave good, clear instructions and she can be a wonderful resource for you too!”
“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”
“It was our first time using Rover and Cerrina immediately made us feel at ease. Our dog was nervous and stubborn at first - but Cerrina communicated well with us and sent pictures as updates. Thanks again, Cerrina!”
“Jeanne was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our dog and cat for two nights and took such great care of everything. She checked in daily, sent thoughtful updates and photos, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she went above and beyond by leaving us homemade pickles and marinara sauce. Such a kind and unexpected touch! Our home, dog and cat were clearly cared for with so much love. We would 100% book Jeanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats, turtles, and birds growing up, and now goats, chickens, and a cat of my own. My sister, an animal behaviorist, taught me to communicate with animals through trust rather than dominance-based methods. I treat every pet like family, so you can relax knowing yours is loved, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away." As a freelance video editor, I work from home full-time, which means I'm around throughout the day to check in, play, and give walks, not just squeezed in before or after work. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust for feeding times, potty breaks, or any specific routine your pet needs. I work from home, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, I'm just a room away most of the day. I treat every home and pet with the same care and attention I'd want for my own, keeping to their normal routine and environment as closely as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dunthorpe
I cannot say enough great things about Selena! She was a wonderful sitter with the perfect amount of communication and worked well with me to help problem solve some anxiety my dog was experiencing. She also left my house in wonderful shape and took great care of the place!
Celeste did an amazing job helping my anxious dog (and her anxious dog mom) feel comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I could tell from her pictures that Dora was happy and relaxed. She did a great job sending updates and photos. It was such a relief to know that my dog was in caring and competent hands.
We're pleased to have found Briana! She is pleasant, communicative and reliable. She sent us an update and photo on each day of our trip. She quickly figured out each of our two dogs' unique personalities, and enjoys them. We hope to ask her back again.
Darcy was SO amazing with my rambunctious young cat. She kept her entertained and sent me many cute and hilarious photos which made me feel at ease while out of town. She communicated regularly and asked great questions when she had them. She left my house cleaner than when I left. Highly recommend Darcy! She’s phenomenal!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
