“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. :-)”
“Kairo is awesome!! We have a lot of anxiety leaving our dogs, especially since we work remote and they’re used to having us home all the time. She gave us multiple daily updates and sent pictures. Our babies were well taken care of!”
“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!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nicole! She cared for our dog for three days while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, she was kind, patient, and attentive to his needs. She followed our care instructions and was very respectful of our home. We also appreciated her thoughtfulness in securing a few things in our backyard during an unexpected windstorm. It was a small gesture that meant a lot! We look forward to welcoming her back.”
“Natasha was wonderful! Our dogs love her and were happy & well cared for. One of our dogs had sprained his leg right before we left. She watched over him and took great care of him. I have used many dog sitters in the past. Just moved back to the area and I’m so glad we found Natasha! The house was immaculate when we returned too!! She sent us pictures and kept us informed.”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Savannah went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy and well cared for while we were away. We received regular photo updates every day, which gave us such peace of mind. Communication was quick, clear, and professional from start to finish. Truly outstanding service - highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.
“My boy Deebo loved her. He has been looking for her ever since she left. I look forward to working with her in the future! Thank you for giving my boy all the love and care he deserves!”
“Paige watched our fur babies for us while we were away, everyone seemed to behave themselves ;p Paige was also very accommodating and helpful for us with packages, time changes and just being super flexible! Would highly recommend and will be using her for future visits! (:”
About: I am usually the go-to guy in my family to watch furry friends when they go out of town. I have had Cattle-dogs for 15 years so there’s no energy level I can’t handle! I’ve travelled extensively with my dogs and we are very outdoor oriented. I work for myself as a Camper Van Designer/ Builder so I make my own schedule. I run daily at about 5am, and am generally free the rest of the morning and early afternoon. I work in the shop for a few hours, then am free the rest of the evening- however I can break whenever so want. Your pets are your family, and I will treat and care for them as if they were my own! I pay attention to detail, and I’m extremely safety oriented.
“Jennifer was great! Helped me out super last minute after another dog sitter cancelled on us 11pm the day before we left out of town! She was super quick to respond and found the time to meet Ryder beforehand. She even made sure to be back later that day when we were leaving just to calm our nerves about a new dog sitter. She communicates well and sent me a few pics / vids. It is always nerve wrecking as a pittie owner to leave him in new hands but I’m glad it worked out! Ryder was three weeks post surgery so she had to administer some medication and had no issues. This also meant we needed someone who would stay overnight in our home and share a bed with Ryder, all of which she did. I would use her again for sure next time I have an out of town situation!”
About: What makes me stand out among other pet sitters is my deep affection towards animals, patience, and reliability. I have some experience working with my own pets, so I realize the importance of ensuring pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while being left without the company of their owner. I am reliable, responsive to the needs of each individual pet and ready to walk dogs, play with them and keep them company. I realize that all pets have their unique character and routine, and I will try my best to ensure that your pets get the treatment they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I attend college three days a week for a few hours at a time, so I am available on the other days and can work around my class schedule. I can plan visits, dog walks, and playtime to fit your pet’s needs and routine. I am committed to being reliable, communicating with pet owners, and making sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes because I am unable to host animals in my own home. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by following the owner’s instructions, maintaining their normal routine, and making sure they have everything they need. I respect my clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to pets during visits and walks. I also communicate with owners and provide updates so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.
“Our first time having Katie house/pet sit for us, she did an excellent job. She’s very caring with our wolfhounds, sent plenty of pics and videos…they loved her! We’re definitely having her pet sit again, I highly recommend her!!! Our house was nice and clean when we came back:)”
“Absolutely wonderful, took such great care of Lila and she followed up with texts and pics that always help ease the slight anxiety that we "furry family members" have as we travel..well no need, Savannah is amazing..House looked great when I returned and she even remembered to water the plants that I completely forgot about!! Thank you again Savannah and Sarah too!! I have found my permanent house/pet sitter!!”
“Lili took great care of our two dogs and our home. She is very attentive to the dogs and they love to spend time with her. Leaving our pets when we travel is always so tough, but knowing they are being cared for by Lili has lifted a lot of worry off our mind. Thank you again, Lili!”
“Steven is a great pet sitter. We totally trust him to take care of Cooper and make great decisions when needed. We highly recommend Steven as a dog sitter, walker and overnight house sitter.”
About: Im an active person who enjoys being out doors. I love taking care of my friends and families pets and taking them to dog parks while their family is gone for work or weekend get-away. Caring for dogs has helped my anxiety and help the pups get the care they need while their family is away. Ive been dog sitting for about 10 years now with dogs as small as chihuahuas and some as large as 50-100lbs. I have a pet tortoise so i am open to caring for reptiles and other pets besides dogs/cats in your home. Im currently available Monday through Friday to come to your home and care for your pet, with some weekend availability to stop in to check on your baby as many times as you’d like.

Francis took my last minute request and I couldn’t have been happier that we met. She took absolutely great care of my 4 dogs in my home. Updates were sent to me with pictures of my pups. She was very communicative, friendly, quick to learn my pets routine. I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dutch Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dutch Village is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,046 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dutch Village. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
