“We booked Suzanne last minute to care for our two dogs in our home. Suzanne went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for. She kept us very informed as we had asked for, and we felt confident they were in great hands. We will absolutely use Suzanne when we need care again!”
“Hannah is great! The pups love her. She even cleans up and puts her sheets in the laundry. We will definitely have her back! Thanks Hannah for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“Alison was a very attentive and communicative sitter when watching my dog George. He was sick at the time and she very appropriately reached out as needed with questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”
“Mia did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. She communicated well and sent pictures of our dogs. Our home was clean and everything in its place when we got home. I definitely would have her again to take care of our dogs.”
About: I have taken care of dogs as large as an Italian Mastiff and as small as mini schnauzers. I am comfortable and confident with handling dogs of all temperaments. I currently go to college full time. I only have classes in the mornings, so my days are pretty open to spend time with dogs or take them on walks. I currently have 4 mini schnauzers at home and provide them with a safe and loving environment. I would bring that same care for your beloved pet.
“Emma did an amazing job caring for our pets while we were away. Communication was excellent, she followed all instructions, and she reliable and caring. We came home to happy animals and a tidy home. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust—we highly recommend her!”
“Nick did an excellent job as always! We can tell our dog was happy to have him watch, and we know Nick went beyond our asks to keep our dog happy and entertained while we were away. We will absolutely book again!”
About: Hello! My name is Hiley! I have 6 years of experience taking care of cats. I grew up with many cats in my household and started to help take care of them when i was 13. I have taken care of cats with illness, special needs, and pregnancy. I have taken care of newborn kittens all the way to senior cats. I am very confident and comfortable being around and helping take care of many cats at once. I feel I am very experienced with taking care of cats and can’t wait to help care for yours! I am currently working a part time job from 9am- 4pm, so l'll have plenty of time to help take care of your pets! I am available after 4pm on the weekdays and all day during the weekends. I have a very flexible schedule that also allows me to do overnight stays! I specialize in cat sitting. I will come in and make sure they get their food and water and bathroom breaks. I'll play with them to make sure they're feeling happy and energized. If I stay overnight I’ll check on them many times during the day, feed and play with them.

About: We have been around dogs our whole lives. Tony and I both have had dogs since we were kids. We now have 3, Togo, Sadie and Louie and they love meeting new friends. We have a fenced in yard so are able to let them out often. We also will take them on walks if they are able. We care for all of our pets by treating them like our human kids and loving on them! We will walk them and give treats if they are able.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, both big and small! I've helped take care of my family dogs since I was 7, and been working with dogs beyond my family for 2 years. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. Your pup will never be wanting for affection! I'm working full-time during the week, so I am available for house sitting on weekends. I am available for dog walking and play dates during the weekday evenings and weekends. I can provide your fur baby with the bathing, brushing, medicating, exploring, and loving that they need to thrive. I have a small, friendly pup of my own who can play with your dog, and a car that can take them to the dog park if desired. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to provide them every comfort of their own home.
About: I have always loved dogs since I was a kid. I was always reading books and watching tv shows like "Dogs 101" to learn about the different breeds and needs. I would also help out with any family members or family friend's dog(s) that needed watching. Ever since I was 16 years old I have been sitting dogs and every time my parents leave for vacation, I will watch the family dog for as long as they need. I believe dogs deserve the utmost love and care while they owners are away, insuring a happy reunion. I'm currently available all day, everyday. I can visit your pet in the morning, afternoon, and night depending on what fits their care the best. I can provide a safe, comfortable environment as making a dog feel safe and secure in their own home is top priority. I can give baths, give medication orally, play, explore, and love them generously. I will make sure there will be as least of a disturbance possible when I visit clients home, making sure it is the same as when they left. Pets deserve the most love and top care while their owners are away.
“Anna was a phenomenal sitter and took excellent care of my four senior dogs. She was kind and attentive, sending periodic updates while I was away. I will be using her services again in the future, and I highly recommend her to others for house/dog sitting.”
About: Hello! My name is Griffin and I'm 20 years old. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have two living with me along side a cat! I currently work at The Family Fido just outside of Stewartville. During my time there, I have worked with many different breeds and sizes of dogs while supervising group play! Not all of the dogs that stay with us are dog friendly so I have worked with solo dogs too! The Family Fido is a boarding/daycare/rescue facility so as part of my job I take care of feeding and medications. Since I started, we have had 5 litters of puppies that I have helped to raise before they have been adopted out to families. I have learned a lot of training skills and I will be attending dog conferences in the future to build my experience even more! Working at a boarding and rescue facility I work with dogs daily and for hours at a time. I own two dogs as well that I work with around the house daily! I am able to do walks, feeding, bathing, nail trims, play, and continue any training that your dog may currently be working on! I am also open to working with anxious or less confident dogs as well as handling more than one dog at a time!
“Mya did an overnight with our dog while I was out of town and it brought great peace of mind to know she was being cared for. Mya sent regular updates with pictures. Highly recommend and look forward to setting up future visits!”
About: I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I go the extra mile to make sure both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I work full time, but I still make pet care part of my daily and weekly routine. I stay flexible with my schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability to make sure your pet gets reliable care, attention, and exercise. I care for pets by sticking closely to their routine. I provide a safe, clean environment, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.
About: I’ve had experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I’m comfortable handling animals of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving animals plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My flexible job allows me gaps of time where I can tend to daily duties. I’m a college-aged student who is available to assist with your pets’ needs. My pets and those I take care of are treats really and with as much love and care as I can share. To keep things interesting, I will take my dog Rocko to new and fun locations for walks. I enjoy treating him with grooming and many treats. Rocko is like my little baby, and I am so excited to grow the number of relationships with furry companions!!
About: My entire childhood my aunt who lived with us, bred toy poodles. So, caring for puppies to dogs is my specialty. From feeding to walks, snuggles and play, I do it all with love and care. Since having children, we have discussed fostering dogs and we found this would be the best way to love on some dogs and make an income as a stay-at-home mom of two. I am a stay-at-home mom, so we are available mostly all the time other than drop off and Pickup from school, and can move commitments around fairly easily. I have a fenced in yard, and two young children to run around and play with your fur baby, walk with them and help feed them. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of running space along walking paths.
“Kelle took great care of our dog Luca for the weekend! She was patient and let Luca warm up to her on his own terms and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We would definitely have her watch Luca again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rock Dell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 165 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rock Dell. 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 Rock Dell 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 Rock Dell 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 Rock Dell 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.
