“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Oliver. She showed up on time and left as scheduled as well. She sent plenty of photos and videos everyday. Oliver loved staying with Heather as well as the company from Frank. Definitely will book her again!”
“He was available for us last minute and really helped us out a lot. Very nice and Tucker loved the company while we were away! Definitely recommend to watch any sort of furry friend while you’re out! Thanks again!”
“Ivy did a great job taking care of our dog and house for three days. This was a rather last-minute booking and she was very accommodating and took time to do a meet and greet the day before. She also provided regular updates and photos while we were away, which was very much appreciated as this was our first time using Rover. Her communication and care was top notch and I would definitely have her back to watch our special boy 🐶”
“Taylor did a great job house sitting for us and we will definitely re-book with her! It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was there with the dogs. She was so detailed oriented and made sure everything was as we asked.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was born. I’ve worked with puppies by giving them baths and medicine. I’ve also worked in a clinic where I was in the boarding area but walked, fed, bathed, medicine and helped with the doctors. My availability is open and would love to meet more animals to get to know them more. Love waking up and going to take care of them by seeing a happy tail waging. I’m very comfortable with any animal and even after taking care of them if you don’t mind I’ll love to get to know the animal more by spending time with them.
“Perry was great with my German Shepherd Juneau! She came to my home and spent the night with her while I had an outpatient procedure. Juneau takes a bit to warm up to new people and I usually have her muzzled when she meets someone new . Perry stayed calm and collected with her and was able to feed her treats of chicken ( her absolute favorite ) thru the muzzle . There was one mishap with the muzzle and the kennel , however Perry was able to calmly and safely remove the muzzle for Juneau without incident . She was also great about sending me periodic updates during her time with Juneau and always responded promptly to any of my requests for communication as well as coming a few days prior to the stay to meets us . I would definitely use Perry’s services again and would highly recommend that you giver her a try !”

FAQs for House Sitting - Dyersville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 62 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dyersville. 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 Dyersville 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 Dyersville 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 Dyersville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
