“Robert came in for the night to take care of my American bully while I worked. He did amazing with Draco. He made sure to send me update pictures of him and made sure my dog wasn’t alone whatsoever. He took very good care of him I definitely recommend booking him for dog sitting.”
“First time leaving our dog and Megan did a great job staying with him. Was very prompt when we sent her messages and was always there when asked her to come over prior to us leaving. Rocky was well taken care of and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you Megan!!”
About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.
“Cindy was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby felt comfortable while we were away. She was professional, punctual and made us feel 100% at ease while we were away. Highly recommended ❤️”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life. I enjoy the company of furry friends and will take care of your pets like they are my own! I work at an elementary school, during the school year I work M-F 8am-4pm. Ideally I can do drop in visits or overnights for animals that can be left alone for a longer period of time. Summer time can vary. I have used rover since 2023. I just bought and moved into my new house in St Johns, I have a fenced yard and live near the walking trail!
About: I have had plenty of animals of my own including but not limited to- cats, dogs, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, rabbits, chickens and other farm animals. I have house sat for many different types of families. Full farms, medically challenged pets, senior animals, young animals. I love them all dearly! I currently work from home Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and some Saturdays. I cannot do overnights on Mondays and Tuesdays due to my work schedule. I am home almost daily and love to walk my pets and others before work, on my lunch, or after work. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have plenty of leashes and secured leads. We live on a slow dirt road. No pet, even mine, is ever outside unattended or unleashed. I will follow whatever rules are laid out for me regarding your home if I am caring for your animal in their space.
About: I have owned pets my entire life. From a little shitzu to a big pitbull. I have watched friends and family's dogs over the years and now looking to help other people with their fur babies. I was a dental hygienist but due to my twins needing more support I have decided to become a stay at home mom. I figured I needed to find things to help keep me busy when they're in pre school and why not have it spent doing something I enjoy. Whatever your needs are for your Fur babies im all open ears. I want you to have trust with me with your animals. I'm a great communicator and will always respond and will send pictures !
“1st time using Rover and glad we did. Jamie was reliable and a great communicator. She was able to quickly bond with our dog and provide the necessary exercise needed. Since we were traveling and in Charlevoix MI for our son's wedding, Jamie was able to quickly put us at ease by providing great care for our dog.”
About: Hi there! My name is Taniya and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for the past 4 years for families in my neighborhood. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine I absolutely love dogs! I have a sweet pup of my own named Pepper. She’s a 2 year old toy poodle and Yorkie mix with a big personality in a small body! While she stays at home with my mom, I bring all that love and experience with me when I care for other fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work at Michigan State University, but my schedule is flexible, and I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles! If you’re located near MSU’s campus, you’re in luck there are so many beautiful trails and green spaces I can take your dog to for fun, safe, and enriching walks. I’m all about making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some fresh air, or a long walk to burn off energy, I’m here to help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel at ease. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk times to any special care needs. I always make sure pets feel loved, whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and offer plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family!
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, puppies included, since I was 16. My friends and family have relied on me to stay overnight with their pets for multiple days, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, and spend time with them. I LOVE animals, and care for all of them as if they were my own! I am a full time student at the University of Arizona, but I have many gaps in my schedule throughout the week everyday. I am also available all day on the weekends. When I am in other people's homes, I make sure to leave it exactly how I found it, as I would want someone to respect my home in the same way. Ensuring home security is also very important to me, so I make sure to not share addresses and to lock any doors/gates that need to be locked.
About: I grew up around dogs my entire life! My dad used to breed rottweiler puppies! I also have a puppy of my own so i am extremely experienced! I currently work from 7am to about 2pm. But I am available to let them out before work and then once I am out of work my full attention is on your pets! I also have weekends off and when pet sitting I stay home aside from a quick trip to get food or something I do not offer at my home services. I unfortunately have 4 dogs in my home and it is already so chaotic! But I will absolutely take care of your pet in your home and respect your home like my own!
“Austin was very kind and respectful. I asked for him to come prior to meet Princess and he happily did, even with it being sort of a last minute booking. Princess seemed super happy when I got home, he sent me pictures of them out walking and she seemed thrilled. Will be using Austin again! I recommend you do as well.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Duplain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 455 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duplain. 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 Duplain 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 Duplain 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 Duplain 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.
