About: Hi, I am Rachel. I am a lifelong animal lover, and have a ton of pet care experience. I am comfortable with all ages, breeds, and sizes of dogs, but I know it is very important they are comfortable with me as well! I am happy to meet initially to learn more about your pet and how to best care for them. I look forward to getting to know this member of your family! Pet care is a big part of my daily life, from feeding, walking, and cleaning up after my own pets to caring for friends and family's pets when needed. I adjust my schedule to accommodate for your pets feeding and walking schedule. I will provide whatever care your pet requires such as changing water, cleaning cat boxes, giving oral medication, ect.

“I would leave 6 stars if I could! Andrea was great with Mavis, and so professional and friendly. She communicated well with me and sent pictures which I loved. Highly recommended and I can’t wait to have her back!”
“Kacy is fabulous! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and felt so comfortable with her friendly and positive energy. She is such an animal lover. She took care of our babies by house sitting while we were away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates a day, and really put our minds at ease. We are so so so thankful. We had no doubt that they were in such caring hands! Highly recommend!”

“Vanessa went above and beyond to take care of my senior dog. It's comforting knowing my pup was so well taken care of while I was gone. The peace of mind is so important! I'm looking forward to having Vanessa in my home again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve been taking care of my family’s and neighbors’ pets since I was 15, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I currently own a cat, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each pet’s individual personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and relaxed, I take the time to meet their needs and make them comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize safety, communication, and reliability. I’d love the chance to help care for your furry family member! I’m available for evening care on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m able to check in on pets multiple times throughout the day, depending on their needs. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they’re well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I believe owners know their pets best, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs to make sure they feel secure and cared for.
“Marissa is AMAZING!! She took wonderful care of our fur babies and sent pics and updates. I would 1000% recommend her!! Our babies were so relaxed and showed no signs of stress upon our return. Being able to vacation and know that your pets are happy and loved at home, is priceless!!”

“Tracey did a great job with our two fur babies. She was on time for arrival time and very communicative throughout the stay with updates. If she left she’d let me know but would also be sure to take care of the dogs right before she left and was never gone for too long or excessive. We have an elder dog and a younger dog full of energy. She connected well with both of them. She played fetch with them and did a great job sticking to their schedule even if it meant getting up at 4am when our older dog needed to potty. She paid attention to all the little details we talked about with their care instructions during the meet and greet. She was flexible with the stay as our travels home ended up taking us less time to travel back home. The house was the way we left it when we got home. The dog seemed comfortable and happy and not stressed from us being away. She is a true gem and we plan to book her for multiple other planned trips in our future.”

About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised outdoor cats. I’ve pet sat for over 5 cats and 3 dogs. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with them. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to small to medium dogs. My boyfriend and I are also taking care of his brothers cat at the moment so that gives me some entail on how to care for a cat. I live in Columbia but for the summer I am spending my days in Union. I am from Hermann and work there as well so I am willing to drive to take care of your furry friends. I work from 9am to 3/4pm (depending on the work load I could get done earlier) and I don’t have set days I work but I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I know some animals can be difficult but I have patience to take care of them. Kindness and compassion are two things that animals need from us and I give them all of it. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned. I can keep your home and pets safe.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s never known life without a furry best friend by my side. I’ve cared for pups of every size from tiny Pomeranians you can carry in one arm to giant Great Danes that think they’re lap dogs! I grew up on a farm surrounded by six dogs of all different breeds, so I know how to handle big packs, big energy, and big personalities. Dogs are truly my happy place. Whether your pup is a playful ball of zoomies, a gentle giant, or a sweet cuddle buddy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Long walks, belly rubs, playtime in the yard, or just lots of cozy snuggles I do it all, and I do it with a smile! 🐾 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: Available after 4 PM 🐾 Wednesday & Sunday: Fully available all day! 🐾 Flexible for early mornings, evenings, and weekends just ask! I work part-time from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays (except Wednesday), but I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the love and care they need. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets is my utmost priority. While I do not provide boarding services at my residence, I am fully committed to delivering attentive and professional care within your home. Whether through dog walking, pet visits, or check-ins, I adhere strictly to your instructions and maintain a calm, secure environment to ensure your pets feel comfortable and cared for in your absence. You can have full confidence that your beloved animals will be treated with the highest level of respect and dedication.

“Marie was such a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats, they absolutely loved her! They were so content when I got home, I know she took great care of them. She sent me so many pictures of them too which I greatly appreciated. I can’t thank her enough for catsitting for me and will no doubt ask her back anytime!!”

“Lillian was an incredible asset to our family during our family during our vacation. She sent videos and photos daily, and was readily available to address any questions. She even took care of our hamster while we were gone! We were so lucky to have found her, and we would love to invite her back one day! Thank you for all of your time and help, we are very grateful for everything you've done, Lily.”

“Really great at keeping us informed and sending pictures of our girl every day. We could tell that Nala (our dog) was doing great from the pictures sent. The house was extremely clean when we got home. Ruth cleaned our tub and shower and even our floors. She went above what we expected of her for watching our dog.”


About: I have had dogs in my house all my life! My family runs a dog grooming store, handling as many as 100-130 clients a week. I have worked in the retail and food service for the last 5 years and have great professional skills and patience. Give your pooch a chance with me and they’ll feel exceptionally loved and tended to! My only other job is Uber Eats, so I am completely flexible! Let me know what times work for you. I am completely open all 7 days of the week and am willing to spend the night! Whether you want your dog tended to part time or full time, I’m here for it! A dog must feel safe in order to feel at home. It is my duty and goal to ensure the safety of your dog. When introducing myself, I will get down on my knees and open my hands for him or her to sniff. From there on, I strive to be as loyal and loving as your dog is!
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Dutzow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,236 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dutzow. 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 Dutzow 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 Dutzow 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 Dutzow 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.
