“I can’t say enough good things about Cierra! I don’t even think I can express in this review how amazing she is. She was the absolute best dog sitter we could have possibly found. From the initial meet and greet, I knew she was the one! My dog takes a while to warm up to people, that wasn’t the case with Cierra. I truly feel like she connected with my dog, and enjoyed the time with her. My dog acted as if we never left, and that is how I knew she loved Cierra. I never had to ask for an update, nor did I worry about my little girl while we were out of the country. Cierra sent plenty of updates and the cutest pictures. She took amazing care of our home, she even washed my dishes and sheets and put a clean set on for us knowing we would get home super late. I honestly feel like I’ve gained a friend!! I will book with Cierra over and over again anytime I need a sitter!!!! She is a wonderful person all around :)”

“Michelle house sat for a week while we went on a beach vacation and was fantastic. She sent pictures and videos every day of our dachshund Banjo and checked in every night to tell me how his day went. Even our neighbors raved about how attentive she was in the backyard with Banjo always giving him pets and playing fetch. We will definitely be hiring her again!”

“Christian took great care of our house and dog while we were away. He was very communicative before and during the house sitting. We received frequent updates and our dog enjoyed time spent with Christian.”


About: I have always been an animal lover since a very young age. I always had pets growing up and helped with their care. I worked as a grooming assistant while I was in college and absolutely loved it. I could provide one on one care for that animal and love. I sometimes wish I would had went into that field of work, because I definitely have that passion. I provide a laid back environment for the pet, so they can be comfortable. I encourage bringing their toys and maybe a blankie so they have something familiar. I enjoy going on walks and playing fetch with them. I would make a great sitter or walker for your beloved pet. Thank you! My schedule as of right now is mostly flexible. I work for myself so I am in and out throughout the day. The longest I’m gone at a time is usually under 4 hours. I have several animals at my home currently so staying at your home to care for your baby is preferred. So let’s get you booked!!
“Toni was beyond good to myself, my dogs, and my house. I was super comfortable leaving my dogs in her hands and she took exceptional care of them. I came back to my home cleaner than it was. Toni is like if a guardian angle came to dog sit for you. 🤍”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have my own dog and cat at home, so caring for pets is genuinely my favorite thing to do. I’m completely obsessed with dogs and puppies—if there’s a pup around, that’s immediately who I’m hanging out with! Having my own pets means I totally get how much they mean to you and how important it is to keep their routines consistent. Puppies especially hold a special place in my heart—I love their goofy energy, and I have zero problem keeping up with their constant play, extra supervision, and endless curiosity. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch until they’re tired out, giving endless belly rubs, or just hanging out keeping them company, I treat every pet like my absolute best friend. You can totally relax knowing your fur baby is getting all the love, attention, and fun they could ever ask for while you’re away! I have watched dogs before, both dog sitting at their house and taking dogs for walks as well! Because I’m currently in school and don’t have a full-time job right now, my schedule is super open and flexible! Having that extra free time means I can give your pets tons of one-on-one attention, adapt easily to their specific daily routines, and never have to rush through a visit. I easily balance my schoolwork with pet care, so I'm around to offer steady companionship, frequent pot-ty breaks, and long walks throughout the day. Whether your pup needs midday play sessions to burn off puppy energy or your cat just wants someone hanging out nearby while I study, my open schedule allows me to give them all the time, love, and focus they deserve. I am pretty avabliable most afternoons after 12 and in between in the mornings when I dont have class and am defiently open to dog sitting at your hosue as well overnight! Because I live on campus, I don't host pets in my own place, but I absolutely love doing house sitting and drop-in care right in your home! Staying at your house is the best setup for your pets because they get to stay in their comfortable, familiar environment without any of the stress of moving around. When I stay at your home, your pet's happiness, routine, and comfort are my top priorities: Keeping Their Routine Normal: I follow their exact schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and bedtime so everything feels completely seamless for them while you're away. Tons of Quality Time: Since my schedule is super flexible, I spend plenty of downtime at your home hanging out, studying, and giving your dogs, puppies, or cats all the play, affection, and belly rubs they could want. Respecting Your Space: I treat your house with complete care and respect, leaving it just as neat and tidy as I found it. Regular Updates: I always send photos and quick check-ins so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing.

“Andrew was great. My maltipoo, Leonard, took to him right away. Andrew is very kind, responsible and was very good with Leonard. Andrew took him for a walk every day of his sit. He also kept me posted with a daily picture. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life since childhood. I have 5+ years of experience in pet care, dog training, and puppy socialization. I use positive reinforcement and a patient, individualized approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, playtime, and pets of different ages and personalities. Currently, I have an extremely flexible schedule and work from home, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I offer walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care, tailored to each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I prioritize positive reinforcement, secure environments, and following your care instructions. I’ll treat your pet and home with patience and respect.
About: I have a dog and a cat. I foster animals from McKamey Animal Shelter. I have worked as a farm hand on a horse farm in Colorado and volunteered on farms in England. I just finished eight months of travel in Europe being an Au Pair, and working on farms. I am starting a part-time job soon, but I would still love to continue pet sitting. My whole focas is to make your pet feel loved and cared for while you are gone. You can trust your home and pet with me.
“We have had Maria sit our dogs twice now and she has been exceptional both times. Our dogs LOVE Maria. She takes the best care of them & we feel so comfortable knowing our dogs will get all the love they deserve under her watch.”

About: With over two years of experience house sitting for friends and family—often for extended periods—I’ve earned a strong reputation for being dependable, respectful, and truly dedicated to the pets I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to provide both companionship and specialized care, especially for older pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply offering comfort and snuggles, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time! But my schedule is completely up to me and flexible. The good thing about the job I work at is I get to create my own schedule! As long as I am kept in the loop with the people I provide services for dog sitting, walking, and care will always be my top priority! I treat every home and pet I care for with the same respect I’d want for my own. I always follow routines closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, or giving medication—and make sure pets stay safe by double-checking doors, gates, and anything they might get into. I’m clean, organized, and careful to leave the home just as I found it. Most importantly, I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Trust and safety are always my top priorities!

“Kyle was great! He took such good care of our two dogs, taking them on multiple walks a day and giving them tons of affection while we were out of town for a few days. He took great care of our home, even washing and changing the guest room sheets before we returned. We definitely will use his services again. We highly recommend him.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bakewell
Stephanie was absolutely amazing with my dog and cat! She was very attentive and kept communication open the entire time, which I really appreciated. Anytime I expressed any concerns, she always made sure to reassure me and would even make changes to the schedule if she felt like my dog needed a little more time or attention. She really went above and beyond. I was concerned that the length of time my dog was having to be alone overnight was starting to affect her, and I actually noticed her acting antsy on our cameras when the sitter wasn’t there. I mentioned it to her, and she ended up insisting on staying the night so my dog wouldn’t have to be alone. Even when I told her she didn’t need to do that, she insisted. She then went back to check on my dog 3 times the next day as well. That honestly meant so much to me because she didn’t just stick to the schedule, she paid attention to how my dog was doing and made sure she was okay. I feel very confident hiring her again, especially now that she knows my dog and cat and their routines. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole time she was watching them because of how well she communicated and how attentive she was. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be hiring her again!

Stephanie cared for our dogs when we were out of town for a day. She sent lots of photos of our pups and let me now how they were doing in a timely manner when I checked in. She was very professional and went above and beyond to care for not only our pets but surprised us with a cleaner home than when we left! Highly recommend for all of your pet care needs!

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 Bakewell 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 Bakewell 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 Bakewell 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.
