About: For 15+ years, I have house sat with animals for friends and around the neighborhood! I have a lot of experience with going for walks, giving meditation, feeding/water, and even giving baths! I currently have three dogs right now! I currently work overnights and I seem to have a ton of energy for the first few hours of the morning when I get off. I’d love to use that energy for good! I’m available for any and all pet care from 9am-7pm everyday! I have a fenced in gate with a great yard for my three small dogs. Just to keep order and the occasional accident in one area, they have “cages” (it’s kind of hidden as an entertainment center) with tons of bedding! They are on a daily feeding routine with vitamins in the morning! In the evening after dinner about 3 times a week I take all three on a walk around my neighborhood!
“She took great care of my pup, like it was her own, will definitely book her again, communication was great, updates were given frequently and very respectful of my home with the overnight stay, thank you”
“I was nervous to use someone I’ve never met to dog sit while I was out of town because I’ve had a bad experience in the past, but Noah restored my faith! He was so good with my babies and took excellent care of them while I was gone. They just loved him!!! Will definitely rebook when I’m out of town again!”
“Madison did a great job house/dog sitting last weekend. She took the time to get our dog a good walk daily and played with him. She also remembered our dog’s daily meds and kept us updated with a lot of pictures. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Phia was AMAZING!!!! The complete package in pet sitting and house watching!!! She walked the pups, played with them, fed them and picked up poop!!!! She also tidied up the house. Which was completely of her own kindness. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Dawn communicated very well throughout the day and sent photos of Bow & Xena. This was a great experience for myself and my pets! I highly recommend Dawn for any pet sitting needed.”
“Kristi does such an amazing job with our fur baby Lexi. Not only does Lexi look forward to their time together but we know we can completely trust kristi with the most important member of our family. Daily updates questions and thoughtfulness. If you need someone to love your dog as their own you have found the right person. We can’t wait for the next booking !”
“My-Linh was a great cat-sitter. She did a super job watching Ripley for me when I had to leave town on short notice to deal with a family emergency. She sent me daily pictures and videos of Ripley having a great time playing and lounging (with Ripley excels at!) with her. When I got home it was clear Ripley had been very comfortable with My-Linh and had been looked after very well; she was happy, healthy, and very relaxed. Furthermore, My-Linh treated my home with respect and left it in excellent condition. I recommend her as a pet-sitter and as someone you’ll feel comfortable leaving in your home when you’re away. I would not hesitate to ask her to watch Ripley again.”
“Jana was amazing with Ralphie and Barley! She stayed for five nights, spent plenty of time hanging out with them, and sent photos and constant updates on how they were doing and behaving. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend her for in-home dog sitting!”
“Aiden was an amazing dog and house sitter. We could tell our dogs were very well taken care of, and it was very stress free for us knowing they were home in their comfort zone. I would highly recommend Aiden for your animal and house sitting needs.”
About: Kind, caring, responsible adult with experience caring for various animals and/Or houses. Very professional and clean sitter looking for opportunities to work with similar clients. I am newly retired from 9-5 work and I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to spend time loving on your pets. I can accommodate any schedule or needs that you have for your pet, in your home. I prefer small to medium pets but am open to any pets that are easy to care for
“Stephanie was an awesome pet sitter! She followed every instruction we left & sent us lots of pictures throughout her stay. She left our house in perfect condition & our pets we’re happy as could be. We will definitely rebook!”

Come take a look and see if I am the sitter for you We have a completely fenced yard with a couple fur loves of our own including pet chickens also. We love them all. Thank you for taking the time
About: I’ve always had a special soft spot for pit breeds and short-haired dogs, but I truly love and appreciate every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I enjoy learning each animal’s unique personality and providing personalized care, patience, attention, and plenty of love. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parent is away! Pet care naturally fits my routine. I enjoy feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets plenty of love while respecting their unique schedules and personalities given any special requirements they may have. I follow your pet’s routine, providing food, walks, playtime, safety, and love while respecting your home and treating your fur baby as my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bagdad
Ripley is always relaxed and happy when I come home after Taylor has been watching her. In fact, this time when I got home after almost two weeks Ripley greeted me, but also spent some time clearly looking around for Taylor. She kept looking expectantly toward the door as if she was saying, ‘Okay, I get that you’re home, but where’s Taylor?’ That tells me how much she likes Taylor accepts that she’s part of her world. I’m always comfortable leaving Ripley, and my house, in Taylor’s hands. I love that Ripley is comfortable too. As always when Taylor stays at my house to watch Ripley, the house was spotless when I got home. I try to leave it that way; Taylor always keeps it that way. Bottom line: another five-star performance by Taylor. I highly recommend her!
Isabel has been a God-send!!!! I’ve had her sit my dogs a few times now, and she is always prompt, she follows my directions to the letter and most importantly, my dogs loved her from the first time she walked through my door! They are always happy to see her. She has taken a huge worry off of me since one of my dogs had surgery and I had to be away for work.

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 Bagdad 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 Bagdad 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bagdad 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
