“Bianca took great care of our very high maintenance dog including multiple medication doses throughout the day. We enjoyed her positive attitude. She had great communication and left the house in good shape. We would be happy to rebook with her!”
“Kairo is awesome with my pups! They took to her easily. She is very attentive and picks up on each of their personalities to better accommodate their needs. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”
“Juliette was absolutely amazing! She's so kind and considerate of my animals! My dog has really bad separation anxiety and she really helped him through me leaving for the work day! She loved on my cats as well and treated them as her own! She was so good about potty breaks, feeding time, taking pictures, keeping me updated and just overall very responsive and just so kind! I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their fur babies watched or checked in on! Absolutely loved having her stay with my babies and plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“Kristen was Awesome! Where do I start- our three pups were well taken care of and very happy when we returned I could tell they really did not miss us to much as they were in very good company while we were away. Kristen took the pups for walks, and sent us pictures each day I would highly recommend her to all. The Graziano’s”
“Francis was great! My dog Ruby took to her right away! Francis was very nice and very punctual. She sent me updates and pictures throughout her stay. Definitely recommend her. We will use her services again in the future.”
“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!”
“Best pet/house sitter there is. Period. She’s been helping me out for years now and is so reliable, kind and communicative. And I have a pretty wild animal situation with a variety of pets and different needs. We love you, Kay!”
“Erick did such a great job watching our pups! You can tell he truly cares for the animals he watches and treats them like his own. I always get nervous leaving our dogs and Erick was super communicative while we were away and helped ease my nerves! Very glad we found a sitter we can rely on!”
“Anthony did a wonderful job caring for our two one-year-old puppies. He was very communicative and kept us updated with great photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He has a fantastic personality—friendly, reliable, and professional. We’d be happy to book with him again!”
“Natasha was amazing! Definitely one of the best dog sitters I have hired through Rover. To be honest, I was a little worried as this is the first time I’ve had a sitter for my six month old puppy who is fearful of people. Natasha quickly put me at ease with lots of videos and pictures and I could see that he warmed up to her very quickly. She communicated throughout the entire trip which I appreciated. I would highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Caleb and Sara kept me updated throughout the day how Duke was doing. They even sent pictures. They cleaned up everything and laundered the guest room bedding where they slept before they left. Using them again next weekend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I also live on a farm where I care for a variety of animals, which has given me hands-on experience understanding different personalities, temperaments, behaviors, and individual care needs. I know that no two animals are the same, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my hands-on animal experience, I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and knowledge of behavioral principles that I apply when working with dogs, including positive reinforcement, consistency, recognizing behavioral cues, and encouraging appropriate behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, as well as puppies and dogs who may need additional patience, structure, or reassurance. I understand how important it is to completely trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I’ll provide care based on their individual personality and routine—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines you already use at home and carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and daily care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, and I’ll keep you connected with regular updates and photos for extra peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and bedtime schedules. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and will communicate clearly with you regarding scheduling and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I provide a clean, comfortable and supervised environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and downtime. I never assume two pets have the same needs and will always follow the care instructions you provide. I also believe communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.
“Marisa was a great fit taking care of our Rottweiler Kali. She was very confident initially meeting her and definitely gained full trust in a very short time period. We will definitely be using Marisa in the future. Thank you again Marisa.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dutch Village
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.
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 for House Sitting in Dutch Village on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,070 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.

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.
