“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Jackie is a fantastic sitter! Dexter warmed up to her quickly and she took such good care of him. She was extremely attentive to his needs and great at communicating and providing updates on how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how she went the extra mile to make sure Dexter felt comfortable, safe and happy! It was amazing to have peace of mind while being away that my dog was in great hands. Will definitely be hiring Jackie again!”
“Jaime is a wonderful person which made her a good fit for us when leaving our three big dogs behind to take a long weekend trip.Two out of three are senior dogs and the other not even 2yrs yet. That is a mix bag of love to deliver and Jaime S. did it seamlessly. I am highly recommended her if you have needs for any type of animals.She kept in touch with us daily with pictures. She went above and beyond caring for our babies for multiple days.She gave us peace of mind even before our trip even begun during our meet & greet. I can’t say enough about her.You will not be disappointed. She is reliable, honest, mature and thoughtful. We will welcome her back into our home for overnights with our pack again and again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️&⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Natalie was the best! Prompt, friendly, and took excellent care of our Clementine. I could not recommend her more! She made our trip relaxing because we knew our pup was in good hands! Thank you Rover and especially Natalie!”
“Mariah was awesome! She sent me pictures of my pups daily. I felt so confident they were in good hands! She left my house clean. Like she was not even there. Thanks so much Mariah!!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life: cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and small animals like ferrets, chinchillas, mice, etc. I love all animals but especially cats. I have experience fitting in care around my working schedule and would love to meet your pets! I currently work full time but I am available for overnight pet and house sitting - if you would like more care during the day, my fiancee is available for dog walking and drop-ins during the weekday. I am happy to care for your pets in your home, whether through dropping in and making sure they're fed, watered, and happy, or through overnight house sitting. I expect to follow any feeding instructions, medication schedules, regular playtime, or light household duties like collecting mail or taking out trash.
“Sarah stayed with Casper for several days while we were on a trip. She took great care of him! He clearly had a great time and she made sure he got his medication. She communicated really well and also took great care of the house.”
“Rachel was a wonderful in-home dog sitter. In addition to being a perfect house guest, she was so kind and caring to my senior pup. She was communicative and left everything in perfect order. Ziggy says he would highly recommend her and would give her 6 stars if he could!”
“Becca is an awesome pet sitter! She immediately attached to our dog who is very nervous and sometimes doesn’t like people. She was so supportive of his needs.”
“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”
“Eric’s was amazing! She took great care of Rocket and gave him plenty of cuddles and walks. I’ve already booked her for a longer stay with Rocket. I just hope he doesn’t want to go home with her when I return.”
“I booked Megan for 2 days and one night of house sitting and caring for our pets. We have 2 cats and 2 energetic dogs. Megan was very responsive to my inquiries and showed up a wee bit ahead of time with her daughter, Keena. My pets were all very well cared for during the entire time of our absence and I was very happy that I had booked Megan. Keena proved to be a very capable and responsible young lady, and our cats miss her dearly. I would not hesitate to utilize Megan's services again; she has my highest recommendation.”
About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. I love staying active and going on walks so I can adjust to your pets needs and wants. I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, old and young. I am a graduate student so on off days I am able to spend time just hanging out with the animals as needed. I am currently attending graduate school. I am completely free most weekends and Mondays with a few exceptions. I am available to stay nights for dog sitting and am free in the late afternoons all week. I can follow any instructions given for each pet. I know each pet may have different needs and can adjust as needed. If pets have routines I will work my best to ensure to keep them on track and can crate in needed.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Baldwin is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baldwin
Booked with Erica for an upcoming trip to Iceland and Scotland for 12 days. This was by far going to be the longest I was away from Rocket since adopting him and was worried about being gone so long. Erica was absolutely wonderful and did fantastic! She messaged if she had questions or concerns and sent updates along with pictures. Upon my return, my place was neat and clean so nothing I had to do there. I will definitely rebook with Erica should I have a need in the future. In addition to sing her praises. Something must have set Rocket off one evening and he attacked the couch pillows. She tried to sew them up and when she couldn’t bought new ones for me ( which she absolutely did not have to). Dogs are just going to dog sometimes.
Lisa is wonderful. She is so kind, caring and trustworthy. She stayed with our dog while we were out of town and was so easy to communicate with. She sent pictures of our pup who was clearly having fun playing, and she was really responsive as well. We really trust her in our home and with our dog.
Amanda was so fantastic! My trip plans shifted last minute and I had to have her leave for a day and come back after she’d already started to settle in, and she was soooo understanding and flexible. She was very communicative, sent great pics, and left my house in great condition. My animals are happy and healthy and it sounds like everyone had a great time! I will definitely ask Amanda (and Jack), to sit for us again in the future. 🙂
Jamie is simply the best and I cannot recommend her enough. I have two large dogs - a lab and german shepherd who both adore her and her son. Not only did she take great care of the dogs, but was great at sending updates and cute photos. She is a great communicator and a true dog lover. Can’t wait to use her again!
Sydney was so lovely! She was great with Tallulah and gave us updates and sent photos throughout our Christmas trip. She was extremely professional and let us know when our dog tore up some soft toys overnight, and even cleaned it all up for us! Tallulah is a bit of a princess and doesn't like going potty in the rain to the extent of faking a pee to get back inside... Sydney saw right through the trick and made sure she went potty. We will definitely hire Sydney again! Thanks for everything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Baldwin is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $88 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.

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 Baldwin 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 Baldwin 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 Baldwin 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baldwin. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
