“Breana is exceptional! She goes above and beyond what is expected and does so with ease and generosity. All our animals (3 cats & a senior mutt) adore her and get so excited when they see her. Breana is knowledgeable, compasssionate, humorous, reliable, and attentive to detail. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
“Lourissa was very patient and kind and punctual. All three of my animals took to her instantly. She was respectful of my house and left it clean. I will definitely use her again!”
“John came through in an emergency for us - and he treated us (and the pets!) with such ease and care we didn't have any second thoughts leaving on our trip. John left the house absolutely spotless, the pets were well taken care of, and we got the best updates throughout the sit. John is incredibly personable, has a great sense of humor, and made fast friends with our pets, even our scaredy cat, Louise. John is highly recommended!”
“Kaylee was a wonderful dog sitter. She stayed in contact while we were away and send updates through pictures. Our dogs were really happy when we returned home from a short trip.”
“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! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of dogs for at least 10 years, whether they were my own, friends, or neighbors. I have experience in many breeds and senior care. I actually own 3 dogs one with hip dysplasia who uses a wheel chair for walks. I am experienced in giving medicine to dogs and even give one of my own dogs a monthly shot. I currently don’t have a job which would give me plenty of time to do drop ins and walks. I’m also willing to stay and play with them as well. I care for your pets in your home by checking in on them as much as possible, staying outside with them as they need or until they do their business, and even just to hang out with them so they aren’t completely alone most of the day. I will be able to feed them whenever they need especially if they are on a set schedule.
“Kimberly is very sweet and was amazing with my Yorkie rescue!! She is very caring and compassionate and I truly love that! She actually spoiled him and catered to his needs❤️ I highly recommend her. THANK YOU AGAIN KIMBERLY🫶🏼 Thumper also says thank you! 🐶”
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!
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving treats, or sticking to their usual routine. I want your pets to feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule working on freelance creative projects, so pet care fits naturally into my week. I make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, & overnight stays, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. When I care for pets in someone’s home, I follow their normal routine and any instructions the owners give me. I pay close attention to the pets to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I spend time and make sure they get to play. I treat each home with respect and make sure to keep owners regularly updated on their pets’ well-being.
“Morgan was amazing! I needed a sitter with minimal notice. She was flexible, prompt, and so loving to my dog. She helped my dog adapt to a new home easily and treated him like her own. Will definitely work with Morgan again.”
About: I’m an independent pet care provider, and I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my current availability. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities - from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. With having the opportunity to stay home, I have endless amounts of time to enjoy and care for your babies!! My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins. I offer lots of outdoor time/potty breaks and countless games of fetch or tug-of war. Depending on the client I will strictly be following the daily routine and feeding schedule!
About: Im very personable. I like to be outdoors and get exercise. I work really hard to keep things neat and tidy. I am very observant if i notice something off or wrong with your pet. I dont mind getting on the ground and interacting with your dog. I have owned and been around dogs since I was very young, and have worked with many different sizes and breeds. I am willing to give my undivided attention, and provide excellent service. I strive to maintain a high level of professionalism, yet still willing to have fun. I have a pretty open schedule that allows me to be flexible. Available any day of the week or weekends. Also available for holidays and parties. I look forward to working with you. I have open availability in the early mornings and evenings. i usually ask for at least a days notice. I am very dependable as well. I have a lot of open field near my unit.

About: Hello, My name is Amber. I have pet-sat a variety of pups ranging from 1 year old, to 13+ years old. Growing up, I always had cats and dogs to love and take care of. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, especially Dogs. Dogs are caring, genuine, and compassionate creatures that I would rather spend my time with than most human beings. I work remote so I am always readily available to tend to your pups needs. I have a fully fenced yard and also 2 pups of my own to keep yours company. We have lots of toys and space for your pup to enjoy. I work remote so being available and home all day allows me the time to give your pup(s) the attention they need! This allows for flexible drop off and pick up times as well. I have a fenced in yard and also a pup who loves to play. If your pup is crate trained I have no problem crating them and following their normal daily schedules.
“did an amazing job with our cats! my husband and i are very protective of our cats and not once did we worry about them potentially not being ok. they send lots of pics everyday and genuinely care about your animals! they are very good at responding to texts quickly and will provide whatever you need to make you feel comfortable with them being with your pet :). 10/10 would use again.”
“My husband and I are so grateful we found Ashton. She maintained excellent communications and care of our fur baby in our home while we were away. She is trustworthy, responsible, and flexible to your needs. Highly recommend and will use again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who deserve extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to get to know each animal’s unique routine and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart I treat every pet as if they were my own family. Beyond basic walks and feeding, I focus on keeping pets happy, stimulated, and calm — whether that’s through long walks, games of fetch, or simply giving them the quiet affection they crave. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always communicative, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for like a priority. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to give attention to the animals!! I can do feedings and walks morning and night no issues there. I have a fenced in yard, very accessible for letting animals out to go potty and my household only consists of me and my partner so there won’t be many people coming in and out of the home so there’s more consistency for the animals.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Baker is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $57 and $65 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 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 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
