About: In addition to my lifelong passion for animals, I have over two years of professional experience working in a dog daycare and boarding facility. In this role, I provide individualized care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and training levels. I am also experienced in daily pet care tasks, including walking, bathing, brushing, feeding, and administering basic care routines. My background in animal handling has taught me the importance of patience, safety, and clear communication, allowing me to provide a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for your pups! I am available to care for your pet most weekdays after 11:30 AM, and Fridays/Weekends at any time! Your pet's safety is the highest priority. I will closely monitor your pet during play and in the event of being outside near other animals. With my experience, I am great at reading dogs body language, signals and behavior. I care about your pet as if it is my own!
“I had Tina stay at our house for a week while we went away for the holidays to take care of our geriatric kitty - Sushi. This is the first time that we used Rover and obviously I did have hesitation with someone that I did not know staying at our house without a "trial" run! However, Tina was amazing in taking care of Sushi, sending pictures and keeping me updated. She was very responsive when I reached out with questions or thoughts! Our home was clean upon our arrival last night and most importantly, Sushi was very well taken care of! I would highly recommend Tina to take care of your animals!!! Beth M.”
“Tiana was amazing with our dog and the house was well cared for while gone for an extended period of time. She provided regular updates with pictures that were much appreciated when we started to miss our baby girl.”
“Shatoria was a joy to have in our home, so much so that our dogs did not even care when we came back after nearly two weeks away, and ran right upstairs to her room to look for her. Excellent communication and attention to detail, and I am almost certain our home was cleaner when she left than when she arrived. Easily the best pet care experience we’ve had. Booking again ASAP.”
“Krista did a great job dog/house sitting for me while I was out of town. Super responsive and sent daily pictures. Even did a few extra things for me that came up unexpectedly. My dog was happy and her normal self when we returned. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Rebecca is great! She is very responsive and great at communicating! My puppy loves her! She made me and my son feel comfortable right away to house sit with our baby. She sent plenty of pictures of the fun they had. My son says 6 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jessica watched our 2 dogs while we were out of town! I loved that she sent pics and updates everyday and kept us in the loop. She was also great at troubleshooting to fix a stubborn stuck door in our house (where the dog food was).”
“Renee was wonderful with our 2 puppies. One even had an accident and she called us to find out what she should do. We have a shampooer. She asked how to use it and actually shampooed their floor for us. She treated our puppies so good. Playing outside and walking. I would hire her again.”
“Stellar pet sitting. Ning went above and beyond to make sure I knew my cat was take such good care of. She was attentive to details and followed all care instructions. My cat loved her and behaved just like I was home. So reassuring. I will be booking with her again! Such peace of mind.”
“Tonisha has taken care of our pups before for drop in visits and walks. This service was for overnight and as usual, she did an outstanding job! My pups love her so we know they are always well cared for:)”
“Cassandra was awesome - took great care of both my dog and cat, and the highest compliment I can give her is that she is incredibly kind, and normal (lol) which is exactly what you want in a pet/house sitter! Will definitely use again :)”
“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Once again, Pam is the best sitter we could ask for. She is so kind, patient, and understanding of our shy rescue, providing him with love and care while respecting his boundaries. She is wonderfully communicative and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing our pup was in good hands.”
About: I have been taking care of neighborhood dogs as well as my own since I was 6. I have also been working in doggie daycares for 4+ years; I take a lot of pride in being able to build connections with the dogs I get to take care of! I am currently a full-time worker, but I can always make time for your pet! I tend to have a bit more availability in the mornings!☀️ I like to come and hang out with the dogs as well as taking walks when it's nice out. I am able to administer any medications needed, as I am trained/told. I am also willing to give any baths or extras as long as I get the instruction!
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”
“Karina was amazing with our pup! She sent frequent updates and pics and even bought her little treats. She was incredibly flexible with our dates and times, and went above and beyond any sitter we’ve ever had- both for our dog and kids. And super affordable. Highly recommended!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up with dogs and have lived with and cared for cats throughout college, giving me experience with pets of different breeds, personalities, and needs. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family many times and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from young, high-energy puppies who need plenty of exercise and playtime to senior pets who require extra patience, special care, and medication. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule and open availability throughout most days of the week. This allows me to easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. Because I spend much of my time studying from home, I’m also able to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime to help keep their routine consistent. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re in caring, reliable hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bakers Corners
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bakers Corners on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 825 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bakers Corners. 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 Bakers Corners 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 Bakers Corners 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 Bakers Corners 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.

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.
