“She did a great job caring for my needy pup and keeping my house in order during an extended trip. It gave me peace of mind while I was gone, which I appreciate a lot.”
“Rebecca stayed with our elderly dog and we can tell she was very well taken care of. I appreciated her updates and photos would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
“April did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and photos and made us feel very comfortable that our pets were in good hands, allowing us to really enjoy our vacation without worry.”
“Asuka was incredible with our dog. She was communicative, responsive, and sent tons of pictures and videos of our dog while we were away. We would definitely use her again to care for our dog while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“We have used Courtney several times in the past as our dog Bear loves her and we feel very comfortable with having Courtney at our house. Bear is a very large energetic German Shepard mix who can be a handful. Everytime we have Courtney watch him, my family thinks he is calmer when we return. This time we had Courtney housesit while we were away in Hawaii for 8 days and couldn't be happier. She was very communicative about our dog and cats. And was even able to give our cat with an ear infection antibiotic ear drops twice a day without issue. She was also very insightful and proactice ordering cat food to be delivered when she knew we would run out on the day we would return quite late. As usual we returned to a very clean well kept house. Courtney is a very respectful house guest who leaves the house in perfect order.”
“Virginia was terrific. Lucy has to warm up to people. She warmed up to Virginia quickly. I will not hesitate having Virginia stay with Lucy in the future. My home was clean and picked up beautifully and Lucy was very happy too! Great experience!”
“Amanda did a great job caring for my two old ladies and taking care of my home. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept in touch while I was away, kept my plants alive, left my house clean, and my girls were happy!”
“Ef was terrific - personable, responsible, caring, communicative, and dog-smart - from booking, to stopping by a second time on the day before we left so he could connect with Polly and double check arrangements, to reporting while we were gone, to debriefing on our return.”
“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”
“Isaiah is wonderful to have!! Was very communicative while we gone. Gave great updates and sent pictures! Our Willow loved him! He took her for walks. He also put all the bedding, towels and rugs he used in the washing machine. Incredible! House was immaculate when we got home. Will definitely use him again!!”

Whether it’s an active adventure or a calm, relaxed walk, I adjust to each dog’s needs and personality.

“We had such a great experience with our cat sitters! Kitten 🐈⬛ was so well taken care of and clearly got lots of love and company while we were away. We received lots of great photos and communication throughout the trip, which made us feel completely at ease. When we got home, the house was left exactly the way we had it, and Kitten was happy and in such a good mood. We will absolutely use them again! It makes us look forward to our next trip knowing our fur babies are in such good hands. ❤️🐾”

Monica was the perfect person to look after our fur children. She sent tons of pictures, asked for and followed all of our normal routines to keep the girls on the same schedule, and left the house exactly as she found it. We came home to extremely happy pups. Thank you, Monica!!
Highly recommend April to watch you pup!!! I have an Akita who is not always the friendliest fella. Because of this, it is important for us to find someone who is confident and diligent around larger, potentially reactive, breeds. April was just that!! My dog took to her instantly! During the stay she kept me well informed on his walks and sent many updates and cute pictures! She quickly became a member of my dogs very little circle of friends - I can tell he really was comfortable around her!! Because of Aprils thorough care for my dog, I was able to relax on my short vacation. We will definitely contact April for future bookings and feel lucky to have come across her. Thank you April!!
Quinn & Kat were amazing! Super communicative and attentive, with lots of thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay. They took great care of Abbey and went above and beyond with the house too — taking out the trash, running the dishwasher and laundry, and even cleaning the floors before we got home. We came back to a happy pup and a clean house. Would absolutely book with them again!
Elaine did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Jackson. I happen to be blind and Jackson is from Guide Dogs For The Blind so he’s pretty special to me and our family. Elaine followed all of our instructions perfectly and both Jackson and Our home were in great shape and ready for us when we returned home. I highly recommend Elaine to anybody looking for a very professional and experienced home in Dog Sitter.

Brenna was amazing. She came last minute (we had another Rover who got sick and has to cancel) and was perfect for our very new, very sweet, very anxious about people and separating from her people pup (15 lb chihuahua terrier mix). Brenna knew just how to be around our anxious dog, and our dog warmed up to her quickly. Our dog let Brenna hold her and cuddle her and even take her outside a few times while we were gone - nothing short of a miracle with this pup. I will be going back to Brenna again as often as needed!
We loved having Jordyn watch our dog, Hank! She was so great about keeping us updated and sending lots of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Hank seemed so happy when we got home, too! We had a not-so-great experience with a previous sitter, so Jordyn was truly a breath of fresh air. We’d absolutely recommend her & use her again!
This is the second time Brooke watched my girls for me, she’s great! Olive was diagnosed with an ear infection just a couple of days before I left town and Brooke did a fantastic job making sure she got her ear drops every day. Also, she sends me the best puppy pictures🩷

FAQs for House Sitting - Bancroft
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bancroft on Rover is $55.64 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,764 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bancroft. 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 Bancroft 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 Bancroft 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 Bancroft 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
