“I can't say enough great things about Jeannie. She is so kind, and you can just tell how much she loves animals. I feel very lucky we found her and will be using her in the future.”
“Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!”
“Our pets loved Kate! She was so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. Both our dog & cat are older and Kate was comfortable caring for them. We had regular updates and pictures from her and she was sure to make sure we were all on the same page. It was such a relief feeling confident that our pets and home were in good hands while we were away! We would absolutely love to have Kate stay again and would highly recommend her!”
About: I have worked on a farm for the past 2 years caring for a wide variety of animals. I have also owned cats and dogs my whole life. I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time in my day to care for your animals! My schedule changes weekly but my availability will be adjusted based on my schedule. I am very detail oriented and will follow the owners instructions. I have a lot of experience with animals and thoroughly enjoy spending quality time with pets!
“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”
“I am so grateful for Darcy. She took care of my cat Carter for a week just 8 days after he had surgery. She spent hours hanging out with him, taught him relaxation techniques, and found inventive ways to get him to eat while he was on an antibiotic that zapped his appetite.”
“Gave him 5 stars because the app won’t let me give him 10 ⭐️! Communicates frequently, took of my our high energy dog, and kept the house clean!!! Jeffrey was the best dog watcher we’ve had!”
“Allie was an exceptional dog sitter and took wonderful care of my diabetic dog while house sitting. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly comfortable managing medications and sticking to a strict schedule. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog and my home were in great hands. I would absolutely trust Allie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter, especially for pets with special medical needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of pet (dogs and cats) since I was 17. I’ve watched friends and family’s dog and have a fur baby of my own. She is a 12 year old sassy cat and I’ve raised her since she was 4 weeks old. I’m free Monday- Friday. I don’t work in office anymore so have the extra time to take care of your babies! Willing to work with your schedule. Only offer walks, pet sit at your house, over night watch at your house. No services at my house due to my sassy cat :)
About: Hello!! I've always had animals in my house (dogs, cats, guinea pigs...) and I also have experience dog, cat, and house sitting back in Austin. I have big golden retriever energy and can tire out the most hyper of animals but also love a cozy night in and can love on a quieter, shy dog/cat. Additionally, I have experienced all ages of dog through growing up with and caring for my dog, including: managing puppy rules and regiment and later administering medicine and staying alert for signs of stress or discomfort. I work part-time right now, so my schedule varies. But around my work, I have a lot of free time to care for yall's pets! I am very flexible and have had experience with a range of animals. And I always make sure to stay communicative and ask lots of questions so that your animal gets great, curated care.
“Jenna was so kind and considerate when taking care of our elderly kitties. She sent pics and videos so we knew they were eating and getting some love while we were away. She is intuitive regarding some particular needs (a little dementia means one kitty forgets to keep eating). What a comfort to know our guys are in great hands with her! Thank you so much, Jenna!”
“Porsche was a top tier babysitter. She watched our fur children for a total of ten days and they loved her! Our reticent cat left her perch and would follow her around for pets! Porsche is definitely a pet whisper and her love of animals is clear in all of her interactions with them. Would 1000% want her to pet sit again.”
About: Have over 10 years of pet sitting and care experience. Have worked with different animals, and breeds of all different ages. Have my own form of transportation and lots of different availability. As well as currently taking the dog and cat CPR training class through the Red Cross. As someone who has pets at home pet care fits into my routine every single day. I make time throughout the day for walks, play time, etc. As well as prioritize time during the day if my pet needs medicine to give it to them. I care for pets in a clients home as if it’s my own home and pet. I am constantly with them and giving them attention. The schedule for those pets is my top priority. Also, if anything needs to be done around the house for the pet while at the clients home I take care of it. I fully respect the client’s home while I am there taking care of their beloved pet(s).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baederwood
Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!
This was this was my first time using Rover. My dog unexpectedly went into heat and we had to make alternate plans for her care. Christian responded quickly and efficiently. We felt fully confident in leaving our dog with him, even though she was requiring additional care and Grooming due to her heat. I would absolute him again!
We loved having Cadence stay with our dog, Levi. We just got back from our 5 day trip to a clean house and a happy dog. She updated us daily on all of the things we asked her to, and she followed his typical schedule, which made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. We’ll definitely be asking her back next time we’re out of town. Thank you, Cadence!
I trust Ally to take care of my baby because she reads his behavior and needs the same way I do. For example, when it’s super hot out she keeps his walks short and utilizes the pool and indoor activities to make sure my dog gets the exercise he needs! She’s naturally an amazing dog sitter!
Sabrina house-sat and took care of my two nutty little cats for 7 days and did a wonderful job. One of my cats needs a lot of pills and a bandage change and Sabrina was totally able to handle that. She came by before my trip to familiarize herself with the kitties and make sure she understood all the instructions, which I thought was really caring and responsible of her. I would be happy to work with Sabrina again and would highly recommend her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Baederwood is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Baederwood 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 Baederwood 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 Baederwood 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
