“Emily was amazing! She did a wonderful job taking care of my baby, Hank. He even got sick one night and Emily kept me updated. She even set hourly alarms to check on him to make sure he was still doing okay. She kept me informed during the entire time I was out of town and I was able to enjoy my time away without having to worry too much about Hank. I HIGHLY recommend Emily for any pet sitting needs, but especially if you have a large breed dog! She was phenomenal.”

“Nancy was wonderful with Ozzie! She was very responsive and proactive throughout the weekend, and it was obvious how sweet and caring she was with him. She was also incredibly attentive and asked thoughtful, appropriate questions to make sure she understood his routine and that nothing was missed. We felt very comfortable knowing Ozzie was in such good hands and would absolutely recommend Nancy!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and compassionate, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy building trust with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want pet parents to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I work full-time, but my schedule provides flexibility that allows me to have a full week off at a time. During my time off, I have plenty of availability to dedicate to pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. I am able to plan ahead and coordinate with pet parents to ensure their pets receive consistent, reliable, and loving care. I enjoy making the most of my time off by spending it doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive proper meals, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully, keep their home clean and secure, and stay alert to any changes in behavior. I also believe communication is important, so I enjoy providing regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home.

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I have always had pets growing up and I always help out my family and friends with taking care of their pets while they are away. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and senior pets, including feeding, basic training, and giving medications. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each pet’s needs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work in retail, so I can take care of your pets in the mornings and evenings. Occasionally, I’ll get off work in the early afternoon, so I’m also available in the afternoons. I’m quite adept at following instructions. If I ever have questions, I make sure to ask them instead of doing something and not knowing if it’s right or wrong.

“I’m so grateful for Brittney’s care of my two dogs and two cats during the Christmas week.From the start, she was responsible, reliable and kind. She visited our house twice a day, even during Christmas. Gave my cat medication properly and gently.She left my home clean and tidy. Most importantly, my furry babies felt safe and happy with her. They bonded with Brittney so quickly, and could see they were in wonderful hands. Her calm presence and reliability gave us peace of mind while we were away of the country and it’s so good to have now someone we can trust when a new trip comes. Our schedule changed several times and I’m so grateful for her flexibility and patience! I will definitely hire Brittney again! Thank you Brittney for everything - you made a world of difference for us!”

About: I’ve always had a love and passion for animals (even dreaming about being a Vet as a kid). I’ve had many different pets throughout my lifetime from dogs and cats to hamsters and fish. I even have experience with administering medicine and caring for my elderly dog. I’m currently working full time as an education aide in an elementary school, so my availability is mornings/evenings on weekdays and anytime during the day or night on the weekend! I am currently caring for my very own cat that is very playful and receives lots of love and cuddles. I’ve also had dogs growing up so I have experience playing with them, letting them out/taking them on walks, feeding them, administering medicine, and even crating them.

About: I have spent my life caring for and loving dogs! I’ve raised many dogs of my own and have also helped my children care for their puppies over the years. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, a Bichon Poodle, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Throughout my life, I’ve raised and cared for Vizslas, Shih Tzus, Labradors, mixed breeds, and more. Anything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs of all different sizes, personalities, activity levels, and life stages. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll care for your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I currently work as a mail carrier, typically from about 7 AM–1 PM. I’m an early bird, so I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, feeding, or playtime before I leave for work. I’m usually home for the rest of the day after work, which gives me lots of time for walks, outdoor time, play, and cuddles with your pup! Outside of my work hours, I’m home most days and love spending time in my yard with my dogs, so caring for another pup fits naturally into my everyday routine. I have a large yard with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, as well as a secure lead for pups who love spending time outside. I am also used to walking dogs on lease so that would be no issue at all. I’m typically outside in my yard every morning and again in the afternoon (sometimes through the evening) when I get home, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My dogs are total lovebugs and are used to sharing their home with other pups! My Golden Retrievers, Dale and Luke, enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and would be happy to have another friend around. For smaller or younger dogs, my Yorkshire Terrier, Lucy, is just under a year old and loves having a playmate. (Sam, my Bichon poodle is around 16 years old so he doesnt play very much lol). My dogs tend to follow me wherever I go, and your pup would be welcome to join our little crew! I know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, so I’m happy to follow your normal routines and preferences. If your pup needs some quiet time, prefers their own space, or needs to be separated from the other dogs at any point, I can safely crate them or provide space away from the group based on your instructions. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable leaving your pup with me. I’ll treat them as part of the family while respecting the routines, boundaries, and care instructions you provide.

About: Hi! I’m Martha :) I’m the owner of Lyons’ Den Pet Boarding, a small, home-based dog boarding business focused on providing personalized, comfortable care for every guest. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have owned dogs since I was 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve developed a genuine love for caring for dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. Through Lyons’ Den, I’ve cared for dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what helps each pup feel comfortable and settled while their family is away. At Lyons’ Den Pet Boarding, dogs stay in a dedicated boarding room connected directly to our home. The space was created specifically for our canine guests, giving them a comfortable area of their own while keeping us close by. Each dog has a roomy individual space with a cozy dog couch, soft blankets, pleasant lighting, and low background music. It gives them a comfortable place to relax, sleep, and unwind between activities. Although the boarding room is separate from our main living area, it is connected to our home, so we are always nearby. We use a baby monitor to keep an eye on our guests and check on them regularly throughout the day and evening. Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. We take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, needs, and comfort level so we can provide appropriate care throughout their stay. Dogs are supervised during outdoor play, and we balance activity with quiet time so they have plenty of opportunities to rest and decompress. We also take cleanliness seriously. Couch covers are washed between guests, and accommodations are cleaned and refreshed regularly to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. We want Lyons’ Den to feel like a cozy home away from home — providing each dog with their own comfortable space, attentive care, outdoor fun, and plenty of opportunities to rest. 🐾 I am a stay at home mom! That means extra time to spend with the pets! My kiddos and I frequent the parks and walking trails, the more the merrier! I’ve cared for pets my whole life! I know how to remain calm in case of injury or anxiety! Calming music, safe and warm home, and always open communication!

About: I have professional animal care experience of 4+ years working in a dog daycare/boarding facility and in pet stores where I cared for small mammals, reptiles, and fish. I've also had dogs and cats my whole life. New to cleveland area, looking to explore and earn on this side gig! I currently work as a bartender- almost exclusively at night, so my days are very open! The perfect fit for me would be jobs in the early afternoon. With love, kindness, and respect! Animals are living creatures and should be treated as such. That being said I'm aware certain animals will need specific care and would do whatever I could to comply with them :)

About: Taking care of my cats for the past several years, and constantly taking my dog on walks and taking care of her in her old age. I work part time, but on the off days I am free at pretty much all the time. I am free on most wednesdays, fridays, saturdays and sundays to care for your pets. I take a lot of care in making sure that animals do not escape from a yard or their leash, and I am willing to crate your dogs if needed.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating, always punctual and took such wonderful care of our pets. It was clear from the moment we met her that she genuinely loves animals and we felt completely reassured knowing they were in such caring hands. We would highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️

Ben was absolutely incredible and amazing. He took care of three dogs for five days without any issues or concerns. From 3x per day feeding, to figuring out which dog liked which toy, to learning about their sleeping habits - Ben was just phenomenal. Plus, he walked all three dogs twice a day - not an easy feat. All three dogs were happy at CAMP BEN - he sent the pictures to prove it. Ben, thanks again for helping make our vacation stress free.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bainbridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bainbridge is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $96 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,350 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bainbridge. 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 Bainbridge 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 Bainbridge 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 Bainbridge 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bainbridge. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
