“Heather was great with our dog, Murphy! She was very communicative with me and sent pictures daily! She took Murphy on daily walks and played with him in our backyard! She provided wound care on his foot and gave daily medications. Heather truly cared for our dog as if he was her own! We will definitely use her again!”
“This was our first time using Kat! She is wonderful. She is professional, kind and added a calm presence to our babies! She stayed in our home, kept it spotless and gave our babies love and attention while we were away. Pics and videos kept us updated! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for loving our crew!”
About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I treat every fur baby like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles (if they’re into that!). I’m super patient, reliable, and great at picking up on each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also have a background in childcare, working in multiple child care settings and holding a CDA (Child Development Associate), so I’m naturally nurturing, attentive, and big on routines and safety. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic pup, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine! I only work about 3 days a week from 9–5, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give pets the attention they deserve. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean space with a fenced yard for playtime, plus lots of love and attention. I also have a friendly 3-year-old Shih Tzu who loves other animals and makes a great companion. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine
“I was very lucky to find Ginny! Chloe doesn't warm up to strangers quickly. She immediately went to Ginny. I feel she was very well cared for and loved. Gave me peace of mind to enjoy my week long cruise where I was out of touch. Couldn't have been better. I look forward to booking Ginny again.”
“Danielle was absolutely amazing.I had no concerns at all for my little babies.She took care of them as if they were her own as she loved on them as much as I would have.I saw pictures throughout the entire visit and many to updates as well.”
“William was wonderful to my fur babies. He kept me informed with pictures and videos. He even went as far as bringing them a very special treat, which looked yummy enough for me to eat! I will definitely have William back to stay with my pups.”
“We had an amazing experience with Joelma as our dog sitter! Our pup was happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Joelma went above and beyond, leaving our home not only well-maintained but even cleaner than when we left. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all my neighbors and friends!”
“It was another exceptional care Alla provided to my German Shepard while I was away . Alla very reliable, trustworthy , great communication , which allowed me be away without worrying. Highly recommend Alla. Your pet will love her!!!”
“Jessica was wonderful with our precious Cavapoo. We are so relieved to have found her while visiting Flagler beach. She gave us peace of mind I knowing Ryder was well cared for while we were out doing non dog friendly touristy things. Responsible, caring and dedicated”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 5 years and truly love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and happiness. 🐶 💕 I’m currently in flight training, but other than flying for a few hours a week at the airport, I am available to care for your pets! With a lot of availability every day of the week, I have the flexibility to provide your pets with time and extra special care and attention! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When taking care of a client’s pets, I always follow the owner’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime—routine and genuine care are key! I’m attentive and patient to ensure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to stay with your pet as long as you’d like during visits so they get plenty of attention and TLC! 🤗 I also love sharing regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel happy and comfortable while you’re away :)

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with 7 years of pet care experience, a Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Bioscience, and experience working as an emergency veterinary technician. I’ve cared for dogs of many different ages, personalities, and needs and absolutely love getting to know each pet individually. My veterinary background has given me valuable experience recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior and making sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, meals, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d love to help and become your pets next best friend ! Who let the dogs out - I did :P I’m currently a student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to spend quality time with your pets. I have the most availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekends, and I love filling my free time with walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I’m very willing to work around your pet’s schedule and make their routine a priority. Whether they need an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, medication on schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there for them. As an animal lover myself, I understand how important careful and responsible pet care is. I have personally cared for elderly pets and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and sizes. I follow owner instructions closely and take extra care with medications, feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and safety. I also believe enrichment and stimulation are important, so I’ll make sure your pet receives appropriate activity and attention based on their age, personality, and needs. My goal is for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for in my home or your own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dupont
This was our first time having Kataryna watch our pups, and we couldn't have been happier! From the very first meet and greet, she was attentive to our dogs and an excellent communicator. It was such a relief to go away knowing our pups were being cared for with so much love. We've already booked her again and can't recommend her enough!

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.
<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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
