“Michaela took care of our dogs for the day so we could to spend time with family - she was here right on time, communicative, left the place spotless, sent us updates of the pups throughout the day and took great care of them. When we got back they both seemed like they had a great, playful day. So nice to be able to spend the day away not worrying about them since they were in good hands 😊”
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our girl while we were out of town for the weekend. She had great communication and sent pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her!”
“McKenna was wonderful! Not only did she take great care of my two dogs and two cats while we were gone for two weeks, but she also helped coordinate with my landlord while we were gone to get something fixed at the house. Highly recommend!”
“Amy was wonderful! Rue was well taken care of and loved spending time with Amy. Amy was great at checking in and sending photos of Rue. She also took wonderful care of our home. Would absolutely ask Amy to watch Rue in the future.”
“Danielle was great with watching Mila at my home! Very commutative and prompt with responding. The litter box and house was left clean. I look forward to rebooking in the future :)”
“Janelle was just awesome. Frequent and consistent updates and our doggos were so well cared for. One of our pups is super old and had an injury and Janelle was great with her. House was left so neat and tidy. Highly recommend!”
“My puppies (Great Danes) absolutely fell in love with Felicity and she was in regular communication about them. I felt very safe and secure knowing my babies were in amazing hands!”
“Erin was great! We had her looking after our cat for a long weekend and she was super communicative and left the house in better condition than when we left. At one point she mistakenly thought she broke something and told us right away and offered to pay for it, and that level of personal responsibility alone will have us booking her again. Our cat is also a really anxious type and it's obvious when he hasn't been well cared for as he'll stop cleaning himself, and we returned to a very happy and fluffy kitty. We will 100% have her back in the future.”
About: I have experience staying overnight in clients’ homes to care for their pets, including senior and sick dogs who need extra love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy! I’m also happy to host pets in my own home, which is cozy and has a nice backyard for play and fresh air. I’m friendly, reliable, and treat every pet like my own💕💕🐶🐱 I currently am a senior in highschool who's unemployed so that means I have a lot of time! I'm almost always available and there when needed. I have a big fenced yard and do not have any other pets, so no need to worry about conflict with other animals! I treat every home and pet with care and respect and will make sure I keep you updated by sending you update pictures!
“We had a great experience working with Brenna. She responds to requests and messages quickly, sends updates with photos, and most importantly was wonderful with our two energetic and goofy pups. Her love of animals was apparent from the start, and I knew it was going to work out great when I saw how comfortable our furbabies were during the first meeting, as they zoomed and romped around to show off for her! We came home to a tidy house and two happy pups! We look forward to working with Brenna again for our future house/dogsitting needs.”
“We are thankful to be safely back to our home and dog after a short trip away so soon after being gone the better part of a week for our daughter's wedding. April did not disappoint! We returned to a happy dog and a tidy home! We were worried about delays at the airports and April was willing to come to the rescue if it was needed. Thank you, April!”
“Mariah and Dani stayed at our house for a long stay and did an amazing job. We got pictures daily of our girls which we loved! They gave our special needs dog medication everyday which can be difficult, and everything seemed to go off without a hitch. Our house was so spotless and left nicer than when we went on vacation. They were kind enough to clean the sheets and towels which they didn’t need to do but we so appreciate it! We highly recommend these two as they really made us feel at ease being away from home. We would absolutely love to book them again!”
“Gabby did an awesome job with our two boxers. We came home to very happy puppies who had a great time with her. She did a great job taking care of them. We were even a half hour late and she stayed to help us out. We are going on a huge trip soon and and are very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care.”
About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and keep their dogs company while they're away. I also have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own by providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while following your pet's routine and any special instructions you provide. I work full-time during the weekdays (7:00 AM–3:30 PM), but I'm available for pet care in the evenings, on weekends, and on many holidays. I make time every day to care for animals and will ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'll always communicate with you throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“Georgia did a great job with our dog. We were thrilled that she was able to work from home and kept our dog to her schedule. We also loved that she sent us pictures during her stay!”
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dupont
Kathaleen was so great to our fur babies while we were away. We have a pretty high maintenance puppy who takes a while to warm up to strangers. She was kind and patient with her and we definitely appreciate that. Our other old man dog and two kitties looked like they had a great weekend - Kathaleen was very communicative and sent lots of photo updates while we were gone 😁 We will 100% book Kathaleen again!
Sydney was WONDERFUL! She treated my babies like her own. I can see how much she truly cares about animals and she was absolutely a surrogate mom to my babies while I was gone. I will always book her for my future sitting needs! She is remarkable. I can’t say enough good things about her!
Courtney was fantastic with our dog and two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was very communicative and sent daily photos. She took great care of our pets and even understood how to handle one of our more spicy cats! Will absolutely have her over again in the future to watch our pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dupont on Rover is $37.45 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 8,926 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dupont. 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 Dupont 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 Dupont 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 Dupont 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.
