“Heather was an amazing house sitter for my 2 dogs. One is an older dog and another a 7 month rambunctious puppy. She was able to relate to each and provided equal attention. I was especially concerned because I had never been away from my puppy but she provided reassurance with lots of hugs and letting him frolic in the yard along with his older brother! I received multiple daily updates and she was even able to do a few dog lessons! I can’t say enough about Heather and will absolutely book her again!”

“Teri was a wonderful sitter for my dog Maddie while I was away for the weekend. She stayed with Maddie overnight, which was especially important because Maddie really needs someone with her at night. Teri kept me updated every day with photos and messages. Gave Maddie her medicine when she was supposed too. I would definitely use Teri again to care for Maddie, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”

“This is the first time we've used Rover for house/pet sitting. Our first choice was Lana. Lana came to meet us and our pets and we felt very comfortable w/ her from the moment we met. She cared about our pets and was interested in their individual needs, likes, and dislikes. We were very comfortable going way w/ Lana here to take care of our fur babies. She kept in touch, sent pictures, and ask questions when needed. She also cleaned up after herself and washed the bedding, towels, and dog blankets before she left. We certainly didn't expect this, but it was GREATLY appreciated! You couldn't tell she was ever here as things were just as we left them. We will DEFINITELY use Lana again if she is available. Thank you so much Lana for letting us have a worry free vacation.”

“Linda was a great find for us. We moved back to the area about a year ago and needed someone to stay with our “kids”. We’ve used Rover in the past so we turned to them again. After a lot of searching for someone that could take care of our elder pups needs we landed on Linda. It was short notice for her (I procrastinated) but she made it work. Linda stopped by the house for a visit with everyone and the kids approved. We were very pleased with Linda’s approach and style. She took care of our home and babies like they were her own. We highly recommend Linda. She’s a keeper. We will be booking her again.”

About: I have over six years of experience in animal care and am eager to continue my career. My goal is to work at a veterinary clinic or hospital, or establish my own mobile grooming business after completing grooming school. In my previous role at Sobo Dog Daycare, I gained experience maintaining a safe environment for dogs and recognizing canine body language and behaviors. I'm currently working from home part time as well as doing this part time. My hours are flexible and I'm usually always able to adjust my schedule to accommodate to my rover clients schedule! I can provide care to both, long stays at clients residence or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever is the best for the client and also for the pet parent as well! If im boarding I suggest bringing anything that is favorable, toy or bed, blanket ect its easier for them to get adjusted to the new environment if they have something familiar from home with them.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart! I have years of experience caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities through pet sitting, walking, and caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and members of my community. As I have been a pet owner twice myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, or extra attention for senior pets. I will treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I am currently part-time meaning I have more then enough time to ensure that your animals routine is met. My schedule is also flexible so if something comes up and your pet needs more attention I will be able to accommodate. I have a fenced in yard and live in a very walkable community. The neighborhood is very animal friendly! I’ve also have pet proofed my house with having experiences of watching many types of pets.

About: I have had family dogs since I can remember and have been caring for them since around 9 years old. I'm currently studying to become a veterinary technician with a degree in animal science! I also am a former dog bather and groomer in training as well as a former kennel employee. A dogs love is unconditional and I feel that means they deserve everything and more! I am available 24 hours a day and would love to fill all 7 days of the week with fuzzy, slobbery friends! I do have occasional doctors appointments or visits with family and whatnot, but those should be reflected in my calendar! I will be accompanied by lots of love and lots of patience. I will feed and give medication as needed. If any housekeeping is needed I am happy to help, and I will walk, brush and let them outside as you ask, maybe even a nail trim if needed!

About: I was born and raised on a family farm. From the time I was born I have been riding in tractors and taking care of all sorts of animals. Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. I have always loved rescuing strays and rehabilitating injured animals of all shapes and sizes. I now have three fur babies of my very own and they are my life! If you entrust your pet with me I will not take it lightly as it is a deep honor and privilege. I love spoiling animals and giving them all the love. If I ever won the lottery I would adopt all of the oldest animals at the shelter and take them to my pet sanctuary. Please consider booking me so that I can continue to stay at home with my human baby as much as possible! 🐾 I am very part time right now since I stay home with my little one. I pick up evening shifts here and there but I am fairly free in the evenings once my husband gets home from work. Let me know what you need and we can work out a routine! I typically work with children and for that reason I understand the importance of trust, flexibility, and kindness. I will always uphold your privacy and I promise to do my best in every situation. I like to call myself an “over communicator” so I will always share details on your pet and I’m pretty good at taking pictures of fur babies too!

“I can’t recommend her enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs—they liked her right away, which immediately put me at ease. She gave me daily updates while I was away, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a clean house, which was such a nice bonus. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly great with animals. I will definitely be hiring her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”

Chelsy watched our Silky terrier Sean for several hours while we were attending a wedding. It’s obvious she has a love for animals. She was so compassionate and kind, and was very attentive to our small dog who suffers from separation anxiety. He was drawn to her immediately after she arrived at our Airbnb rental, and he appeared calm and stress-free after our return. We would highly recommend her!

Terry went above and beyond watching our one year old pup, Bravo again. Terry even slept on the couch because Bravo seemed a bit nervous at night. Bravo didn’t want to leave and loves their property and dog. Terry sent pics and videos during his overnight stay. We can’t thank their family enough!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Baker Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Baker Heights is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $60 and $72 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 October 2026, there are 799 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Baker Heights. 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 Baker Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
