“Karl is the absolute best! He’s cared for our two dogs multiple times, and we always feel completely at ease leaving them with him. He’s reliable, communicative, and treats our pups like his own. They’re always so excited to see him, and we love the updates and photos he sends. Highly recommend Karl to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter!”
“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

About: The first and only thing I ever begged my parents for was my very own dog... I didn't care how big/small, young/old it was but I knew it would be my best friend. I got my very own dog when I was 11 years old for Christmas and now, almost 17 years later I could never imagine life without dogs in it. Our only pet is our puppy Georgia who is a 5 month old Lab/Pit mix and we adore her so much! She is great with other dogs and loves all people. Aside from my love of dogs (and all animals) I am Certified as a Dog Trainer and also Certified as a Veterinary Assistant, which means I am also capable of administering medication while you are away. I am home just about 24/7 so any dog that stays with me will never be left alone. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you, thank you! -Megan R.
“Savannah was such a huge help staying at our place with our dogs while we were away! The dogs loved her and you could tell by how they react to her when she comes by. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for as long as I can remember and have 4 years of hands-on experience volunteering 4 days a week at the Southern Oregon Humane Society, working with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and animals with different temperaments. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and truly passionate about providing safe, loving care for every pet. I work evenings, usually starting at 4 PM, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends before 4 PM. House-sitting schedules can be discussed, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs while respecting your home and routines. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, safe environment for every pet in my care.
“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”
“Traci was super responsive and a great sitter! We had to change our plans last minute and she was understanding and willing to work with us so that our pets could be as well taken care of as possible. She sent daily updates with pictures and video that put my mind at ease and showed us how happy our dog Ellie was with her.”
About: I have had a variety of dog breeds my whole life. Mostly rescues across all ages. I have puppy experience as well as senior dog experience. Additionally I have done elder and developmental disability care for people. I believe in honesty, empathy, and compassion for those under my care. I am pursuing a Masters in Social Work and have an internship part time 3x per week (both remote work) , so I would like to fill the rest of my time to support myself financially ❤️ *no school/ internship until August 2026* I am very attentive and keep a close eye on pets at all times. I try and service my clients by appealing to their needs and sensibilities and not my own. Having worked as a caregiver for people with dementia and adults with developmental disabilities has prepared me to be alert and aware at all times.
“Maria is absolutely fantastic!! She was wonderful with our dogs and they are ALOT - one senior and one 60lb+ puppy. She sent us updates and photos and took the BEST care of our dogs and our house. We were far away for a week and she gave us total peace of mind and I mean total, I am a world-class worrier and I had no concerns. She is kind and completely in charge. The dogs loved her - honestly I think they've been missing her since we got home. Our house was cleaner than when we left it, with clean sheets on the bed and a load of laundry in the dryer. She's wonderful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.”
About: I’ve owned animals since I was 10 and have cared for friends animals while they have been on travel. My animals are my family and are treated as such. I recently retired early and have time to spend at home with animals. Lots of land for exercise and all pets stay inside with me. I live on six acres with two dogs, two mini donkeys, a goat and a horse. The entire property is fenced with a barn and shelter for large animals.

I also hold a certification as a Fear Free Practitioner and a Animal Reiki practitioner. I’d love to welcome your dog into my home or visit yours and provide whatever they need while you’re away—extra puppy potty breaks, medication administration and monitoring, or simply a calm, loving environment where they’re treated like my own. I keep my home peaceful and serene, so I only host one dog at a time to ensure individualized care and attention. The needs of those under my care are prioritized. I will do my best to accommodate your pets schedules needs. Just let me know how to help!

About: With 8 years of veterinary experience as a Veterinary Assistant and Certified Veterinary Technician, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care for pets of all ages, breeds, and needs. I have experience with high-energy dogs, senior pets, puppies, cats, medications, and animals requiring extra attention. Growing up on a farm and being a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, safety, exercise, and treating every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as a part-time commitment that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining a flexible schedule. I prioritize making time for walks, drop-in visits, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs. With my background as a Certified Veterinary Technician, I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs while providing the same patience, love, and attention I give my own animals. For drop-in visits and dog walking services, I focus on providing safe, attentive, and individualized care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. During drop-ins, I ensure pets are fed according to instructions, have fresh water, receive any needed medications, and get meaningful companionship and playtime. I also take care of litter boxes or potty breaks and make sure the home is secure before leaving. For dog walking, I prioritize safe, structured walks that match each dog’s energy level and needs. I am experienced with high-energy breeds and focus on exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement. With my background as a Certified Veterinary Technician, I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and responding appropriately while keeping pets calm, comfortable, and cared for.
“I had a great experience with Malissa. The thing that I appreciated the most is her communication. I always knew everything about my doggo and how he is doing and I got pictures every night. She even contacted me with weather warnings during the big storm Portland had during my travels and was willing to stick around if my flight got canceled. Will recommend and rebook for sure.”
“James did a great job pet and house sitting for us while we were away for the holidays. He communicated clearly and responded quickly. Our dogs were taken care of and happy! Our house was also very tidy and clean when we returned. James is responsible and it helped us feel at ease while we were away. Thanks again, James!”
About: I’ve had my own personal pets all my life and believe pets are family and treat them as such. I have also take care of friends, and family pets as well. Just did house sitting with 2 Australian cattle dogs, 2 cats and 6 chickens. Currently, I do not have any pets of my own as I lost my 2 Boston terriers last year. I love animals and anyone who knows me knows me, knows this about me. I work from home full-time and I can work from anywhere that has internet. I just bring my laptop and I’m able to care for your fur kids all day :) I am especially good at cuddles all day, walks, and feeding/playing with your fur kids. My motto is animals are better than humans because they are. I love them!
About: I understand how important trust is for pets and their people. Our own rescue dog came from a difficult background, so I know how to work patiently with animals who are shy, anxious, or stubborn. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and cats, including giving medications, which takes skill and a calm approach. Whether your pet needs extra patience, special care, or just a loving presence, I provide reliable in-home sitting so they feel safe and understood while you’re away. I currently have full availability every day of the week, including evenings and weekends. Our own dog has reliable care at home, which allows me to stay overnight in clients’ homes when needed. This flexibility means I can focus fully on your pets’ routines, whether that’s multiple visits during the day, extended stays, or consistent overnight care. Every pet has its own personality and I genuinely enjoy spending time with each one. I pay attention to what they need, whether it is play, quiet, or a little extra reassurance, and follow your instructions for meals, walks, and medications. Pets feel safe, happy, and cared for, and the home stays tidy while you are away
“Melanie was a fantastic watcher and companion to our pug and three cats! It's always stressful to travel and leave our pets behind and Melanie made us feel immediately at ease with her thoughtful attention to detail. Upon return home from our trip, our animals were in great spirits and showed signs of being very content and happy -- thank you, Melanie!!”
About: I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up in a home full of animals. Throughout my childhood in Southeast Alaska, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, mice, iguanas, and bunnies, which taught me early on the responsibility, care, and love that go into animal companionship. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by raising three dogs and a cat. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior animals. My oldest girl passed this last year at 17. Currently, I share my home with a 12-year-old tuxedo cat, a 2-year-old smaller husky mix, and a 9-month-old husky mix. I have over 20 years of experience in pet and house sitting, and I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of furry and feathered friends during that time. I am compassionate, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m also comfortable administering medications and maintaining established routines to ensure your pet feels safe and at ease. I have a welcoming, pet-friendly home that’s a perfect balance of leisure and playtime. My dogs love fetch and running around together and we’re conveniently located near trails and parks for pets who enjoy walks and outdoor adventures. I work a flexible part-time schedule so your pet will have plenty of companionship throughout the day, along with a calm environment for rest and relaxation when needed. My home is designed for comfort and pets are welcome to get as cozy as they like. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. The hours I’m available for are 6AM-9PM but also happy do discuss boarding and pet/house sitting. I’m happy to follow your pets routines to keep them feeling safe and comfortable at all times. Neighborhood walks and trips to the park, whatever your furry friend needs I can provide.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bacona
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,141 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bacona. 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 Bacona 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 Bacona 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 Bacona 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 Bacona. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
