“Francis is wonderful! This is the 2nd time she stayed with our fur boys while we were out of town. She takes excellent care of our dogs and is really good about keeping us well informed of their activities. I highly recommend Francis and hope to continue to use her in the future.”
About: Vet tech and animal lover offering walks, drop-ins, overnight care, medications, and loving attention. Experienced with puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. With me your pets are family! Pet care is already a natural part of my routine! As a veterinary technician, I’m used to caring for animals daily and making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive care. I have a strong eye for detail and stay on top of every pet’s needs. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets are well cared for while you’re away, because that’s exactly what I’d want for my own.
About: I've been around dogs with different backgrounds my entire life and started taking care of them at the age of 10. I have experience with light grooming (Brushing fur) as well as brushing teeth. With cats I have experience feeding and playing I have many friends with cats that I visit often. I take care of the pups at home all the time. I feed them twice a day and make sure to brush and groom once a week. And I also enjoy taking them on walks to the dog park. At my house I allow the dogs to free roam as they are potty trained and use the backyard. I make sure to keep anything they could swallow out of reach.
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked as a pet sitter for three different families. During that time, I cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, providing companionship, administering basic care, and following each family’s specific routines and instructions. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep the environment clean, provide fresh water, monitor their well-being, and give them attention. I believe clear communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit.
“Is it possible to leave 6 stars?!? Erick was amazing. He came to the rescue on short notice & exceeded all expectations! He was responsive, great communicator & sent up pics & updates during the stay. The pups LOVED him! Erick will be top of the list for our future trips!”
“Ashley was amazing, she made our two girls really comfortable and put us at ease while we were away. I am very thankful for finding her and that she took such great care of our girls, we will definitely be referring back to her any time we need to go out of town. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone with care, patience and great vibes.”
“Aquisap is a terrific dog sitter! She showed up on time, communicated with me throughout her visit, and took amazing care of my dogs! I am so happy I found Aquisap to help me with my dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing quality care for their dogs.”
“If you are looking for an experienced, trustworthy, compassionate clean, hands on pet lover with the best vibes to watch your furry baby, I just ? found one! Even my weirdo skittish cat likes her instantly! That was my sign! I handed her my keys and knew I had nothing to worry about. I was right. She kept me updated and I was able to have a relaxing vacation without worrying what was happening at home. Thank you Maria. You are fantastic ❤️?”
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.
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.
“Marisa stayed with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. She sent many pictures and videos along with updates throughout. It’s always nice to feel like your dogs are being loved and cared for while away and I definitely felt that way with Marisa. One of the best sitters we’ve had on Rover. Would definitely book again.”
“Marissa was great! We had 2 meet and greets to ensure she was a good fit. She was very accommodating to our schedules and it gave us the confidence to leave our Great Pyrenees with someone who would give him good care. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Took also him on several walks a day. We will definitely call on her again for our future vacations.”
“Charlee was very responsive and made sure to message us regularly, including sending pictures. Very friendly, reliable and easy to work with - would definitely have her sit for us again in the future!”
“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!”
“Lili was wonderful with our boys, Ozzy & Luke. She communicated with us throughout the stay. She sent updates and photos of our pups, which we really enjoyed. She treated the pups and our home with lots of respect. We’re looking forward to her spending more time with our pups in the future. Lili is great, your fur babies will warm up to her immediately. 💛”

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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 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 November 2026, there are 3,095 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
- 92% 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.
