Andrea is a great house/dogsitter. I booked her for the first time last weekend. She was very responsive and we had a very constructive meet and greet, during which she asked many questions and took copious notes. Andrea reached out to me—without prompting—before she arrived the day of her sitting, to confirm she was coming and what time she’d be there, which placed me at ease. During her stay, Andrea gave me appropriate status checks, including when she left. She left the house in great shape. I would definitely recommend Andrea for house sitting and intend to use her again soon.

There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!

I had a last minute work request, and Elizabeth came through at a short notice and was fantastic! She is very well versed with adjusting to puppies and different breeds, and my Juni was more than happy to have Elizabeth. She sent detailed updates- which I more than appreciated as it helped calm down my nerves throughout my time away. I am so pleased with how flexible and accommodating Elizabeth has been (especially as this is my first time using Rover) and would highly recommend her for your pets!

Lucia was able to watch my senior dog on very short notice for a last-minute work trip, and she was wonderful. She took excellent care of him, making sure he got his medication on time and letting him set the pace for his walks based on how he was feeling each day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I twas very happy with her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

She sent regular updates and many pictures of Daisy which we loved to see. And she left our home spotless! We will definitely ask Oriana to watch Daisy again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

She has a lot of experience with pets and cats of her own which put me at ease as well. She sent plenty of photos and a video a they clearly enjoyed playing with her. I came back to curious and healthy kittens and a clean home.

Svitlana was great talking care of our house, plants, one dog and one cat. Things went really well overall, just a few little miscommunications but some of those were 100% our fault. Everything was left super clean, and she managed medications for both pets as necessary. Would definitely book her again if schedules align.

We had such a wonderful experience with Elizabeth! She came through for us in a last-minute bind, and I’m so incredibly grateful she was able to help us out. Tyson is a senior dog who needs a little extra patience, attention, and care these days, and she was so sweet and patient with him the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was getting lots of love and was in such caring hands while we were away. She was also fantastic about keeping me updated and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. I never had to wonder how Tyson was doing because she kept me in the loop throughout the stay. On top of taking such great care of him, we came home to a clean and tidy house. I’m so grateful for the love and patience she showed Tyson, especially stepping in for us on such short notice. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home, and I would happily book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Baileys Crossroads

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Baileys Crossroads on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 10,132 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Baileys Crossroads. 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 Baileys Crossroads 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 Baileys Crossroads 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 Baileys Crossroads 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 Baileys Crossroads. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
