“Lex took great care of our older dog and loved on him the whole time! She also takes such awesome care of our house. She makes it easy to leave for long periods of time without having to worry about home.”
“These guys are amazing! Our dogs love them and two of them are human-picky: our Pomeranian and our Heeler rescue puppy. Taylor and Luke are just both very kind, gentle people who my dogs knew they could just trust. Also it’s great getting a team when you hire these guys as I just always knew my dogs were in good hands. 5+ stars!!!”
“Erika was so amazing. Because we are paranoid parents of a rescue pitty, finding someone to take care of our baby for two weeks was a very scary thing to do. Erika reassured us that all would be well while we were gone, and sure enough, everything at home was perfect. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves during our travels, stress free, knowing Sheeba was taken care of and loved every day by Erika. Erika was also so wonderful with keeping in touch, communicated with us every day, sending us pictures and updates; and Sheeba seemed so happy and well taken care of; she did not even have as much anxiety when we returned home like we thought she would. Thank you so much Erika for everything; we will definitely keep you for the future!!”
“Madison did a fantastic job on a 2-day boarding on a very short notice and and no meet up before hand. Gave extra attention to my pup, left the home cleaner than when she found it, went above and beyond with unrequested baths and long walks. Probably one of the best options you will find on Rover”
“Janelle was great at providing care and updates for our 2 dogs and 3 cats when we were out of town for a week. She made sure they were comfortable and cared for including providing pills in peanut butter and adjusting to our dogs nerves when one was being a picky eater. She also paid attention to the weather/heat and adjusted walking schedules to make sure they weren't out during the highest heat of the day. She left the house clean when she left and updated about her departure time. Her communication and photo updates were detailed and wonderful to receive. She provides wonderful care!”
“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!”
“Justine is A+++++. The house and our pets were well taken care of. She communicated the whole time and gave us pictures, videos, and updates. We have already booked her for our next trip and highly recommend her!”
“Gabby was incredibly communicative and took excellent care of my pup! She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the night providing peace of mind. Would definitely book again.”
“Jacqueline has done a great job with overnight stays watching 2 dogs and 2 cats! The animals are comfortable with her and she takes great care of them! Definitely recommend using her for your needs!”
“Allison is the best and we always trust her with our pup. She’s super easy to work with and we can tell our dog is happy while she’s there, even if he is stressed that we are away. We absolutely hope to keep working with her as long as we can!”
“Sunnie is the best of the best! We really appreciate her communication and attentiveness to our very needy fam. Before leaving for this trip, our 14 year old pup’s eye ulcer hadn’t cleared and required 3x a day eye drops— lucky for us, that was no issue for Sunnie. While we didn’t hit the $1.8B lotto, we definitely hit the jackpot and feel very lucky to have her in their lives. We have 4 pets that all require something extra, like picking up a cat to eat on the counter so the dogs don’t eat her food to adding a smidge of baby food to our boxers food so he feels like life is fair since the eldest gets hand fed to start eating to making sure the cats don’t bring a gift back in the house (they will try!). It’s quite the task and she does it with ease and stellar communication. If you have made it this far, look no further — Sunnie is your gal. Just clear your dates with us first ;) jk jk.”
“Gabrielle was a great sitter. She stayed in my home for 6 days and was very professional. My dog was happy and healthy when I returned. My house was super clean when I returned. She was responsive and updated me everyday. My. Internet went out and she was happy to help with the technician and got everything squared away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house and pet sitter!”
“Emma is amazing!! She helped me out during a really stressful time, and evacuated with my dog during a hurricane when I couldn’t be there to help. She truly went above and beyond. I came home to a better behaved, and handsomely bathed dog. Im so impressed and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I would recommend her to anyone :)”
“Shania was amazing! Very last minute booking but she sent me pictures and updates through the stay. Made me feel very comfortable leaving her with my baby girl! Definitely will hire her again!”
“Carol is been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She’s incredibly conscientious, responsible, responsive, a we felt that she really cared for our pups while she was away. When we got home, everything was in great order. She’ll be the first person I check with when planning future trips where we need care for our home and dogs!!”
“Frank was fantastic! He’s very responsive, kind, and thorough. He watched our 2 dogs and showed a ton of care with them. We would definitely recommend him and will happily book him again!”
“Janyssa took great care of my two pups while we were out of town for a long weekend! It was a weekend with freezing temps and lots of snow and she stayed at our house and braved the weather with my dogs. She sent daily pics and updates. I knew my dogs were in good hands! She even left the house is great shape given the nasty weather outside! Would definitely book again :)”
“Heather took great care of our dog and our home. She sent daily updates with pictures. We had a very relaxing trip because we knew we had nothing to worry about at home. Our dog can be nervous and she also would give Heather 5 stars!”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 8,959 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.
