“Kristen was great! She took wonderful care of my sweet Dallas and took such great care of my home. She’s very knowledgeable of all dog breeds and takes extra precautions to make sure your fur baby is safe. I definitely recommend her and will be rebooking in the future!”
“She was the best. She stayed all weekend at our home. Super sweet and reliable. I received lots of updates, videos and pictures. Choose her, and you will not be disappointed!!!”
“Kairo treats Jasper with love and care! I get the cutest pics and updates from him throughout the day and he is always on time, responsible and leaving my house spotless. Thank you again Kairo!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 14 years. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines. Your pet’s comfort always comes first. I’m happy to send photo and video updates during every visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work a consistent schedule and keep my availability updated. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, and I’ll always communicate clearly so you know exactly when your pet is being cared for. I understand how important reliability is and strive to be punctual and dependable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions exactly as requested. I’ll keep doors secure, use leashes on walks, provide fresh water, clean up after pets, and send photo updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“This was our first time using an in-home dog sitter after losing our previous dog unexpectedly at a boarding facility, so we were understandably very hesitant. From the moment we met Vickie, she immediately put us at ease and gave us the confidence to leave our new pup at home while we were away. Vickie went above and beyond by visiting a few times before our trip to help our pup feel comfortable with her in our home. While we were gone, she kept us updated with daily photos, which meant so much to us, and she even took the time to water our garden. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a house in perfect condition. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Vickie provided and would absolutely love to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Bianca was a fantastic sitter for our dog. We have had a very difficult time finding people we trust with both our dog and our home, but Bianca quickly put us at ease when we met. Our dog has some daily needs (oral medications morning and evening as well as a paw oil before bed), and Bianca managed those with ease. We got some updates proactively and Bianca was happy to answer any questions or provide photos if we asked for more. It was nice to be able to enjoy our trip without wondering how our dog was doing -- a real luxury for us! Don't hesitate to reach out to Bianca if you need someone to be a temporary parent to your dog in your absence. :-)”
“Caleb & Sara stayed over & cared for my little pack of pups, and cat couple with devotion. Kept me posted, sent pictures and made my time away, worry free❣️💕💕 Will ask for them again in a heartbeat!!”
“Kay was absolutely incredible. She handled the pups with no issues and we came home to a nice looking home. The initial meet up went very well. She was professional and had all my questioned quickly answered. During her stay she was always attentive to answer my questions or send pictures. My wife and I look forward to working with her again hopefully in and the end of May!”
“Raquel was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Gracie and Rowdy! From the start, her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is incredibly sweet and clearly has a natural connection with animals. She bonded with both dogs right away and took the time to really understand their individual personalities and little quirks. It was obvious they felt comfortable and cared for in her presence. One of our dogs was dealing with some pretty bad allergies during her stay, and Raquel truly went above and beyond to keep him comfortable. She was attentive, thoughtful, and kept us informed every step of the way, which we appreciated so much. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would hire her again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend Raquel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dedicated!”
“Anthony was the best! He was incredibly communicative and responsive both before the stay and during. He took great care of our pups and sent photo updates regularly. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the trust I've built with my clients. Many are repeat clients who feel comfortable leaving their pets in my care, even for vacations lasting over a month long. I'm reliable, highly responsive, and believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while following your pet's routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. From tiny cats to large dogs, I treat every animal as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of consistency and sticking to your pet's normal routine. I always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. During overnight stays, I provide full care including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and any medications or special instructions if needed.
“Amanda is amazing! This was the first time she watched our 2 dogs and cat and she made us feel very comfortable and confident that our pets would be safe and happy while we were gone. When we got home we could immediately tell that our pets were super happy and had been loved. She sent cute photos with all of them snuggled up on our couch....which we loved. Thanks Amanda! We are looking forward to having you watch our pets in the future.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Maria as an all-day dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was very friendly and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she provided plenty of updates, sharing photos and messages that showed how much fun my dog was having. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals. I felt completely trusting leaving my pup in her care. I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”
About: Hi! I have been caring for pets for over 20 years. Currently, I have a 2 year old 60-lb Boxer dog and I also had 3 Shih Tzus for 16 years so I am used to large and small dogs, energetic pups and senior dogs. I’ve taken classes with trainers that trained with Cesar Milan focused on dog psychology and calm confidence. I can care for senior dogs and administer eye/ear drops, medication, and gentle handling. I can also care for playful or large dogs and help get their energy out. I am available for short or long walks, short or long overnight stays, house sitting, bathing, and drop ins. I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for requests to care for your pets and am excited to meet your fur babies! I am very aware of my surroundings and doors/gates to ensure dogs to not escape or run off. I am diligent in making sure they don’t have something in their mouths that they shouldn’t. I have a high energy 2 year old boxer that I have crate trained and am used to taking all necessary precautions to make sure pets are safe and secure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dutch Village
Megan is a gem! She took great care of our dog, Blu, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was a great communicator, kept our home clean, exactly as we left it, walked Blu every day, and sent us photos that always made us smile. We also appreciated that she took the time to do a meet-n-greet before our trip. Megan is kind, dependable, and genuinely caring. We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to booking with her again!
My dog took to Kylie immediately. She makes sure to follow all instructions, takes my pup out on plenty of walks and gives love and affection time. It’s fantastic to have a dog sitter I can not only trust but someone who makes my pup feel as loved as I would while I’m away.
We cannot recommend Aleksandra enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and took the time to understand all of our needs. We were in town for a wedding with multiple events, and she was so flexible, accommodating both her home and our Airbnb, which made everything seamless for us! We have a 10-month-old mini dachshund, a breed that requires extra care due to their sensitive backs, and Aleksandra’s experience and attention to detail immediately put us at ease. She also kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which meant we never had to worry for a second. Our pup looked so happy and comfortable the entire time, and we know he was sad to see her go! We only wish we lived closer so we could book her all the time!
Malissa is such a sweetheart. She really loves our baby and takes such great care of him. This is our second time having her babysit in our home and s we will always be using her when we go away. She even washes the bedding, vacuums and makes sure the house is in perfect order before we get home. She's such a gem and I would highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dutch Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dutch Village on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,156 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dutch Village. 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 Dutch Village 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 Dutch Village 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 Dutch Village 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
