We want to thank Laura for onboarding so quickly for our dog care schedule. She did a great job with our loving dog who instantly grew attached to her. She is very skilled at anticipating the needs of a pet. Thank you Laura.

Leona was wonderful with Romeo - he was really calm and happy when I returned. She communicated well, sent updates with photos and left my home better than she found it. I’m booking her for another cat/housesit right now!

Brandy was fantastic! My dog is not easy due to anxiety and fear (she is a rescue). Elly didn't take that long to warm up and once she did they were able to stick to her regular schedule. Brandy was understanding and compassionate to where Elly was emotionally. She took her for great walks and played with her. Brandy sent pictures and lots of updates. Also Brandy was respectful of our house and left it as she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask her back. Thank you!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am very accustomed to taking care of them, providing exercise, feeding, cuddling, etc… My childhood dogs were very sweet and I spent many hours walking them around the neighborhood and playing inside with toys while being responsible for their feeding/cleaning. I have a lot of experience with leashed walks, dog parks, electric fences/collars, inside pee pee pads and more. I also have experience working with elder dogs as well as anxious/reactive dogs. I’ve had many multi day to multi week long dog sitting experiences. Dog sitting has taken me all over the US, including Vermont, Maine, NYC and Santa Cruz, California! I work remote for an educational travel organization based out of Vermont! Because of this I have lots of free time to travel and move around. Working remote gives me a very flexible schedule, and I can be available at home with your loved dogs as much as needed to fit their schedule :) I am happy to come to your home and take care of your pets in your space. I am well versed with house sitting and respecting clients homes. I am comfortable walking dogs, using crates, fenced areas and whatever other set up is needed. I am happy to collect the mail and water plants. I am an early to bed, quiet, respectful gal!

Emilee arrived on time and provided us with her presence that the care of our dog Elkie was in good hands. At the end of our scheduled stay we were unable to comply with the arranged end time because of a medical condition that required us to go to the ER. Easily 9.5 hours later Emilee was able to return to her home. We received regular updates, photos and reassurance that our dog was receiving quality care. I highly recommend that you consider calling her to answer to your pet’s care.

What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.

About: I have taken care of many animals, from aquatic to a variety furry friends. I am always willing to offer a hand in any kind of care or training that is needed to be kept up while their humans are away so that you can be sure the critters are getting the best care and love while you’re away. Hello! A little about me, I am an all around animal lover! Every morning and night our 3 girls go on long walks and every afternoon we set time aside specifically for playtime. Going to lakes in the summer and fall is one of their favorite activities, especially if we are going out on a boat! I have 3 female dogs, both very friendly. We have an underground fence, though I would keep your fur baby on a leash when we go outside. We have a nice yard, about half an acre, live near a stream and love taking walks around the neighborhood.

About: Hello! My whole life i’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and farm animals! Animals are a huge part of my life and I love caring for them! I started pet sitting and dog walking since I was 16! Please reach out with any questions and i’d be happy to answer! :) I have a very flexible work schedule. I work a restaurant job so I’m free during the day most days! I would be able to take pets out multiple times a day as well as take them on long walks/runs etc. I live on a dead end street in a residential neighborhood. I love getting outside and taking dogs on long runs/walks/hikes. Lots of cuddles, treats, and walks is how I’ve always cared for my pets and would do the same for yours!

About: We are a young, active couple that recently lost our dog after over ten years together. We have experience with puppies and seniors. While we aren't professional trainers, we have plenty of experience training our own dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us to pet-sit, walk, and train their animals. I grew up with a dog and my wife grew up with dogs and sheep. We currently have a small flock of hens as well. Our home is pet friendly, but we do not allow animals on the furniture. We don't have a fenced yard, but we live on over 30 acres, on a dirt road with minimal traffic, and in close proximity to miles of hiking trails. I work a 9a-5p job Monday - Friday, but only about 2 miles from home so I can easily run home during the day. My wife is self-employed and is more flexible with her schedule and works out of the house. Our home is pet friendly but we don't allow animals on the furniture. We have multiple large, comfortable dog beds, pillows, toys, water and food dishes, etc. We are loving and attentive. We enjoy being outdoors as much as possible, so walks, hikes, fetch, etc. is no issue. We miss having our own pup but aren't ready to adopt again, so we would love to spend some time with your animals!

About: Lost my fur baby almost 2 years ago. I raised her from a puppy, I also had another dog as well along with cats. My other dog was a rescue so I’m well versed in dogs with anxiety and other social challenges. I do not shy away from dogs with all kinds of different behaviors and quirks. I love dogs (and cats!) and miss having a dog by my side. I would love to help care for other’s fur babies when they’re in need of outside support. I have a degree in Animal Science and am well versed in animal care. I can clip nails, give meds, care for wounds, support with behavioral challenges and socialization, grooming, etc. I like to provide ample exercise through hikes in the woods and walks. I am also open to taking them places like dog parks or vet appointments. I am available and able to handle multiple animals at a time. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have done pet, farm and house sitting since I was a kid off and on throughout the years. I have consistently watched a coworkers dog when she is away as well as other friends and family. Currently in the process of moving and am unsure which days I will have off my regular job. Typically I have a job where I determine the hours so I have ample time to pet sit as well. I currently can’t provide boarding services but may be able to again in the future. I am trustworthy in your home and find most animals are most comfortable and secure in their own homes.

About: early years, my family were training Morgans for the Kentucky Derby. It had been an exhilarating journey, one that beautifully intertwined skill, patience, and a profound bond with these majestic horses. Each horse is unique, deserving of personalized training that not only harnesses their incredible speed and agility but also fosters a deep connection between horse and trainer. As l've grown, my focus has shifted from merely training to cherishing those heartfelt connections, as they truly enrich my life. Alongside my passion for equine training, I find immense joy in the companionship of dogs and cats, nurturing their spirits It’s all I do - besides writing. I chose to step Away from The chaos of the world to care for my own well being by taking care of animals. With respect, kindness and love as I would expect in my own home and with my own pets. Pets bring joy and peace to my life.

Both my pup and I had such a great experience with Amed. Such a lovely and dependable person who is clearly a dog whisper! My anxious dog was not fussed at all when we returned. I think he enjoyed his experience very much and we felt like he was well cared for during our absence! Thank you so very much!!

About: I have been the proud dog dad of Franklin, a rescue 15 year old terrier mix who suffers from separation anxiety, for over 10 years. More recently, I have cared for him through eye removal surgery as well as terminal joint and heart issues. As a result, I have experience giving oral, ocular and topical medications. I have this experience with other dogs as well, as I am always quick to volunteer for any opportunity to walk or babysit a friend or families dog - even going so far as to visit dogs rather than people at family weddings. I am a recovering lawyer who wants to devote 100% of my time to your dog! Please check my schedule or reach out. Thanks, and tell your dog I said hi! First and foremost, I care for animals by showing them love and respect. When it comes to caring for your pet, I will conscientiously follow all instructions you provide and never put your pet in any danger. I am 100% focused on your dog when they're in my care, so I don't give them an opportunity to do anything unsafe!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Dover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 153 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Dover. 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 West Dover 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 West Dover 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 West Dover 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 with handling special pet needs in West Dover. On Rover:

  • 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
