“Rylee recently stayed overnight with our rambunctious Aussie! She was wonderful! Prompt, great communication and most importantly Finn approved. We will definitely be looking to Rylee for future sits.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Every single one of my roommates since college has had a dog that I helped care for. I love all animals but especially dogs! Currently working part time from home so my schedule is flexible! I set my own hours. You’ll need to contact in advance for weekend visits Depending but both. I can always come to the clients houses to care but I also have a fenced in yard myself. Can change for each client
About: I’ve personally been interested and training dogs since I was 10. As a young adult I worked at a dog daycare, volunteered at a dog kennel and continued to train and work my personal dogs until I joined the military. I’ve recently become a Certified Full Service Dog trainer as a veteran through the VA. I have experience working with both pet dogs and working dogs. I value integrity and helping improve both the dog and handler for future success. Excited to teach and learn for the community, hopefully expanding after! I’m currently a full time student but will still offer night walks and training sessions after class during the week. I’ll be available the full weekend for full day/ overnight drop ins, and training sessions! I have a high standard for safety and wellness. Ensuring the environment is safe and secure for the dog. Providing proper equipment for exercise, trainings, walks. Giving updates and information throughout the service.
“Edi was an amazing sitter! This was a first-time experience for my dog Barry with an in-house sitter, and she absolutely spoiled him and went above and beyond to keep him happy. She sent pictures at least once a day with status updates on him, the house, the weather, etc. Communication was great from our first contact until we arrived back home from vacation. This was an overall great experience and I cannot recommend Edi enough!”
“First time using Patty and my boys couldn’t be happier which makes me a super happy mom. She was super attentive and even sent super cute pics. I scheduled her immediately for my next trip. Couldn’t recommend more!!!!!”
“It was our first time having Karissa watch our girls. She was very attentive to our instructions and responded very quickly to any questions we had. She kept us apprised of how our girls were doing with lots of pictures. The girls seemed very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely reach out to Karissa for future dog sitting needs.”
“Always love using Emily to watch our pup. She is amazing with communication and we can tell she truly loves pet sitting! We have started booking trips around her availability so we can keep getting the best service.”
About: I have been caring for my now senior dog since she was a puppy and I was a child. I trained friends and family’s dogs on basic things like sitting and potty training. I worked at a kennel last summer and worked in the play time section, so I’ve learned what to watch out for when a dog is feeling uncomfortable or about to act. I love walking and allowing dogs to explore, I also don’t mind cleaning up after them ! Since starting college at least one of my roommates has always had a cat. I am a cat lover and love kittens or seniors! I’m a full time art student and part time server. I enjoy having a busy schedule and am very flexible! I can help out for as little as a check in or for as long as an afternoon sometimes. I tend to be proximity oriented to avoid missing anything. I’ll stay around them even once we’re done playing as I’ve learn my accident lesson !
“Very grateful for all the extra time and attention she gave my pup. He's adjusting to a lot and I felt much better having her here to give him individual attention. And having her dog was great for mine to have another dog in the house to keep him company. Definitely recommend.”
“Kaitlyn is amazing!! She went above and beyond to get my little boy to eat. He’s very attached to me and when I’m not around, he will just lay in the bed. She went above and beyond and brought the food to him to make sure he would eat. She stayed in communication with me while I was gone and provided pics of my baby. Very happy with the service and will use her again.”
About: Over the 10 past years, I have been able to build amazing bonds with my furry clients and their owners. I started pet sitting when I was 14 to show my mom responsibility and that I could take care of a dog on my own (it took 5 years to convince her btw). My mom agreed to it, and my classmate dropped off Leo, a 7 year old Shitzu, at my house and it was the best week of my summer break. Since then, I have cared for puppies as young as 8 weeks to seniors up to 17 years. I have been able to keep loyal and consistent clients because of my trust and honesty, but also because I am able to adapt to each pets different personality and energy. I have experience with all types of dog breeds from chihuahuas to pitbulls and yorkies to labradoodles, as well as cats since 2020! I treat every home with respect and every animal as if they were my own. My main goal is to keep them happy and in their normal routine for meals, walks, and medications, as well as providing peace of mind for owners. Message me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet 🐾 I'm currently in my last year of college and am on campus Monday - Wednesday. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and I'll be looking forward to having new study partners 🐶🐱 I ask about and respect boundaries they have for the home. I keep pets in their routine as close as possible. If a feeding or walk time interferes with a class, I communicate with owners to let them know. I like to ask questions and then schedule a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit.
About: I'm the type of person who spends all my time hanging out with animals at any function. I have lots of experience with aggressive, shy, senior, independent, clingy, and playful pets, and I pay close attention to your pet's personality so I can meet each pet's needs. I love to stay active but am also a homebody and could spend all day giving your pet the attention they deserve. I've had a dog since I was 10, and I know how much photos of your pet can brighten your day, so I will be sure to keep you updated! I work remotely, so I have flexible hours and plenty of time to play and take care of your pet. I travel often, but I update my availability weeks in advance. Please note: I am unavailable for Sunday bookings between 9 am and 3 pm. I am unable to care for pets at my own place, but I am more than willing to make the trip to stay at your home or drop in to feed/walk/play according to your needs. My dog is a very picky eater, so I understand that each pet's feeding routine is different, and I will always accommodate what your pet is used to.
“Alexis was great, we have dogs with some unique challenges so we were nervous about using a sitter at first. Alexis was very willing to help and treated then with great care. Would book again.”
“I could not recommend Alexis more highly. She took great care of my dog and cat while I was away and sent me daily updates and pictures. She is caring and professional and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Larissa was amazing with our girls a 40 lbs husky mix and an 80lb black lab for 8 days. Larissa stayed at our house with the girls and the house was just as clean or cleaner than when we left. Larissa sent pictures and videos daily and the girls seems to love staying with her. We definitely looking forward to using Larissa’s service again in the near future”
“Elizabeth watched our 4 pups while we were out-of-state and was absolutely phenomenal! Really the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Took fantastic care of both the pups and our home! She took time out of her day to take the pups to parks and even to continue working on their training while we were away. Truly loved her and will definitely be using her every time we need a sitter for our pups!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs and have cared for two of my own— a small yorkie and a large lab. I’ll give your pet lots of love and attention. I currently work Monday through Friday from 1–9 p.m., so I’m available for overnight stays, early mornings, and late-night care. I can easily fit walks, feedings, and quality time into my routine. Every pet is different, so I follow the owner’s instructions and make sure they are sticking to their routines and getting plenty of attention, walks, and playtime.
“Jade is fantastic! She took care of my lovely dog Maple for 4 days of Labor Day. She sent me photos of my baby everyday and checked in with me often. I will definitely be hiring Jade again!”

Rylee stayed with our boy for a whole week while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay and followed all instructions we left her. When we got home, our house was clean and our boy was happy and healthy. We will definitely work with Rylee again. She is the best and we highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bailey is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $93 per night.

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 Bailey 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 Bailey 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 Bailey 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.
