“Our first time using a sitter service and we couldn’t be more pleased! She kept us updated and our dogs loved her! We will definitely use Breana and Rover again. Super nice, caring person and easy to use service.”
“Lisa is amazing. She stayed at my home with my elderly dog during the hurricane. I was so nervous but she assured me she would stay and take care of my Georgia. I had a delayed flight and she stayed an extra night. When I got back Georgia was happy to see me of course but seemed very calm and happy. Also my place was clean and neat! She’s the best ❤️🐶”

About: I have had pets in my life ever since I was little. So I love helping take care of them. I also am very good with puppies and teaching them new tricks, and helping with potty train. I also love helping keep dogs very active, or just chill with them and cuddle! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of free time. All days of the week are good for me. I’m even available on weekends if needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a dog of my own, who loves to play with others and gets along with all sizes. He loves to share his toys or just play together. Or if it’s in your own home, anywhere your fur baby loves to play! I also have dog parks around for your baby to play with or without others, and a nice neighborhood to walk around. Or we can walk around your neighborhood as well!
“Olivia was great! Sent regular updates and photos and when our flight got delayed and we were stressing about our dogs she was super accommodating and willing to help! Will rebook with her again!”
“Alicia was the best sitter I could have asked for. She took the best care of my dog one could ask for. My dog was drawn to her instantly and didn't leave her side when she was watching him. I couldn't be happier with her service.”
“Fabricia did such a great job taking care of Charlie and Chloe. They fell in love with her and cried when she left. She even did extras and help take care of my home while I was away. She clearly has a giant heart, and a great love for animals.”
About: Hi, my name is L, and I’m ready to meet your furbabies!❤️ Not only do I have so much love for animals and babies, I’ve also had many yrs of experience from wildlife rehabilitation to professional walker and fun/loving times with furbabies of different breeds❤️ I have a mad love for furbabies (reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc included) and make memories while sitting or even to just come check on them, while giving them plenty of attention. ❤️ Growing up raising ducks, opossums, raccoons, snakes, squirrels…you name it, I’ve done it and loved every bit of it. I have 5 furbabies (2 dogs and 3 guineas) of my own, one dog whom is an adopted pit mix and the other adopted as well, she’s a catahoula spotted mix ❤️ the guineas were a rescue situation, as I couldn’t leave them in a bad home…but they’re my world, aside of my daughter. So let’s get together and let me share some love to your babies too. I’m currently a stay at home, as I’m taking time away from the work field, so I’m available 24/7! I’m up early mornings by 7/8am til 1/2am. I’m available and flexible. I care for pets to their owners liking and never go out of an owner’s instructions on feedings, play times, crating if need, medicines…etc. I’m constantly sending owners pics/videos of their furbabies, always reassuring that their babies are having fun and enjoying life.

My neighbors always relied on me to walk their animals and take care of personal stuff as needed:) I am currently in nursing school and my classes go through majority of morning but in afternoon I’m free to take care of your animal I have a small apartment but it is perfect for my animals and me. I’m more so looking to go help at other peoples houses since the small environment may not be best for all of our children lol
About: For the past seven years, I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication when necessary, and providing plenty of love and attention. I've developed strong bonds with each pet I've cared for, ensuring their well-being and happiness while their owners are away I have a very open schedule this summer as I'm a doordasher so I'll have plenty of time to provide great care and love for your pets! In my home, I ensure pets have designated areas for eating, sleeping, and play. I follow their routines and provide lots of love and attention. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I adhere to their instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any special requirements, while also keeping their environment clean and providing regular updates to the owners
About: Hi there! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats with all personalities, and even the occasional critters. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry friend happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers purr—your pet is in good hands! :) I work part-time, and I’m a college student. My class schedule is 3pm-7pm Monday through Thursday, then will occasionally work on the weekends (not much) which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily work around your pet’s routine. My lighter schedule allows me to be attentive, present, and reliable, making sure your pup gets the love, play, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I follow their usual routines closely—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure and cared for. In my home, pets have cozy spots to relax, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for my own, making sure their pet feels comforted by familiar surroundings. I always aim to give each pet the same love and care I’d give my own.
About: Hello! I’m Rheya and I seriously, love pets. With owning over 5+ pets in my life, I have learned to grow with, and not against animals and knowing their behavior and individual needs. As the saying goes, “happy dog happy life” has never been truer especially when the pressure is on with life. I have exposer to training dogs, and maintaining an instilled disciplinary environment for my pets over the years. I would LOVE to provide your pets a time of fun to give you, your time of sun! *I OFFER OFF APP OPERATIONS AS PER REQUEST* ^i have received several reoccurring clients off app (also reduces the crazy rover fees!) I am currently working part-time as well as being a part-time student in college. I am available weekends primarily, either overtime or whatever your specific need is, as well as weekdays when available. Following the schedule in place from the owner, I will adhere and implement said schedule, from potty walks to backyard zoomiez! We do the same here at my household (Leo is crazy for both).
About: Compassionate, dependable pet care tailored to every animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive companionship, thoughtful updates, and respectful care for cats, dogs, and other beloved pets, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for overnight pet and house sitting throughout Santa Rosa Beach and along 30A. I’m also willing to travel for the right booking. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I organize my schedule around the needs of the pets and households I care for. I’m a published author currently working on my next book, so I value quiet time, peaceful surroundings, and the companionship of fur companions. For overnight bookings, I stay in the client’s home through the night and follow the care plan we agree upon. In addition to writing and pet sitting, I am a Sound Alchemist, Sound Practitioner, Sound Journey Facilitator, Vibrational Resonance Guide, and Sonic Meditation Facilitator. Through sound, vibration, mindfulness, and immersive listening experiences, I create peaceful, grounding environments while avoiding clinical or medical claims. These practices complement my love of quiet time and my appreciation for calm, attentive companionship. I am also capable of watering plants, collecting mail, and bringing in delivered packages while you are away. I’m happy to help maintain a lived-in appearance and care for these household details according to your instructions. I leave pets alone only according to each pet parent’s guidelines, since every pet and household has different needs and routines. Before accepting a booking, we’ll discuss your expectations, your pet’s routine, exercise needs, daytime care, medication requirements, and the amount of time your pets can comfortably be left alone. Clear communication in advance helps ensure that my availability is a good fit. As a quiet, non-smoker who deeply respects your privacy and property, I treat your home with the utmost care and cleanliness. I am fully comfortable managing home security systems and maintaining your daily household routines while you are away. I provide overnight care in the client’s home so pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their usual routines. I treat each home, its belongings, plants, mail, packages, and the family’s privacy with care and respect. I am attentive to instructions and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and needs. My experience with cats, horses, German Shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, and farm animals has taught me that every animal has a unique personality and requires patience, consistency, and individualized care. I also cared for my beloved cat, Sterling, for more than 22 years. These experiences have strengthened my sense of responsibility and helped me recognize subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I welcome a meet-and-greet before each booking so you and your pet can get to know me, review instructions, and feel confident about the care plan. I provide regular photos and updates while you are away so you can stay connected and reassured. Staying overnight also provides companionship for your pets and helps your home appear occupied.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baker
Kimber is the kindest, nicest, professional, friendly. and I can go on and on. We were in crisis our 14 1/2 years old baby had a seizure. All this in the midst of our daughter getting married away from home. We found Kimber! She not only took care of Lili, but also Ashy and Honey (our other two babies) We were able to enjoy the wedding because Kimber was there. Honestly, we all said that we wished she lived near us. This is your trusting person if you need care for your furries!
Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! Our dog sitter went above and beyond caring for our puppies during a hurricane while we were away. Before evacuating with them, she even took the time to close up our house for us. Knowing our babies were safe with someone so caring and dependable meant everything during such a stressful time. She treated them like her own, and we will never forget the kindness and care she showed our family. We are so grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough! ❤️🐾
Kassidy was seriously the BEST!!! 🥰 She went above and beyond all week with our pups and our home! Our AC even went out while we were gone, and she handled everything so well and never made us stress! She kept us updated and made us feel so comfortable knowing our pups were in great hands! We will definitely be using her again! 🐶❤️

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 Baker 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 Baker 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 Baker 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.
