“Laura was wonderful! My dog loved her and she sent us photos daily showing us where they went etc. her communication is excellent, quick response, and extremely articulate. And bonus my house and plants were in perfect condition upon my return!”
“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!”
“Alicia provided amazing in home care for my 2 dogs. She is very professional, friendly and seems to genuinely love spending time engaging and caring for dogs. She proactively shared daily updates of their adventures and included some incredible photos.”
“Jamie too such good care of our girl, Piper! He provided frequent updates and checked in as needed. I could tell from the pics that Piper enjoyed Jamie’s company. She was very relaxed and pampered. Jamie was a natural with her - taking her on walks and letting her lounge in equal measure. As a 9 years old, she enjoys bursts of energy, but is more likely to sleep on her blanket or to pretend to be a speed bump! I didn’t worry at all while we were away. I would highly recommend Jamie to take care of your fur baby!”
“Emma is very conscientious and thorough when taking care of our pets and home. She is very in tune with the animals needs. Felt very secure having Emma care for our loved ones!”
“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!”
“Tayler was wonderful. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She checked in daily with us and sent pictures to keep us updated. Her temperament and patience worked really well with our dog who is skiddish and wary of new people. We would highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Avalon took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She went above and beyond. She took the dogs for separate walks each day. She provided daily updates and pictures, and followed all of our instructions/requests. Avalon also took care of all the bedding and garbage from the week, which is usually chores we take care of after returning home. It was a great help!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mark did a great job house sitting our cat and dog. Our dog also had a minor back injury that he helped give special care for. Lots of check ins and photo which we appreciated. Will definitely hire him again.”
“Kiana did a wonderful job with our sweet dog! She was super responsible - with an initial meet and greet, check in beforehand and updates throughout her stay. Birdie took to her immediately, and we came home to a clean home and a happy dog!”
“Kaylee was great! My pups have some special needs and are not the.best rained. Kaylee did a fantastic job making them feel safe and happy. I will definitely look to book Kaylee again!”
“Mackenzie is skilled with animals and was able and to build a rapport with my skittish cat quickly. This was a warm up meeting for a longer visit this summer. She has put my mind at ease that he will be well cared for when I am gone.”
“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!”
“Lucinda is a trusted house sitter and did a great job of looking after my 15 year old dog. And kept my home spotless. I already have her booked for a third dog sitting opportunity. Highly recommend Lucinda.”
“Ann was always on time, reliable, and made sure Muffin got his medication and followed his daily routine. This was our first time using Rover and leaving him at home. He’s very attached to us and has some separation anxiety, but Ann made the whole experience easy and comforting. We appreciated the daily updates, had total peace of mind and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Finn loved Natalie! That alone says enough, but Natalie also was great about staying in touch and sending updates and photos. On top of all that, she left my house spotless! Great experience all around!!”

Victoria was quick to reach out ans set up a meet and greet upon initial inquiry. She was on time and addressed our questions well. During her time here, she communicated often with great detail and lots of pictures / video. we understand perfectly how our dog continued to warm to Victoria during her stay. we returned to a happy dog. and a tidy house. Thank you Victoria.
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!
Kaylee was great. It was our first time leaving our dog at home for an extended trip. She gave us updates with pictures, took her on walks, took her to the park, everything was in great shape when we got back. She also took great care of our cat. We would definitely use her services again.
Jamie is an excellent pet and house sitter. He is reliable, a great communicator, and thorough. He follows my instructions with minimal need for reminders or oversight. Out of all of the sitters, I feel most comfortable leaving my best friend and house in his hands. Thank you!
Jackson is the best! I’ve got a senior pup and a lot of anxiety around her health and Jackson was super helpful- reassured me, asked great questions, sent updates, pictures, etc. He also checked in about how much communication I wanted, which was helpful. He’s gentle, kind, and super easy to work with. I felt totally safe leaving my little girl in his care. Thank you, Jackson! Looking forward to working with you again!
Chanel took such excellent care of our dog, Ralph. He seemed a bit depressed to see her go! He loved all the 1:1 attention she gave him, along with all the walks. Chanel sent us the cutest videos and pictures while we were away. I will book Chanel again and again!
Bri was an excellent sitter for our somewhat reactive dog Millie. She handled her with care and assertiveness and kept us updated with photos and messages assuring us we did not need to worry about being away. After Bri’s sitting, Millie has been more calm and less reactive. We are very grateful for Bri’s help and would highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunthorpe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dunthorpe on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,544 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.
