“Rebecca has been caring for Mikko and Kona for a year and a half now. She is truly the best! She takes great care of them, and has even had to take Mikko to the vet with an emergency and did fantastic caring for him! She is a great communicator and loves Mikko and Kona very much!”
“Halona took excellent care of our 60 pound Border Collie Mix. She made sure our dog got a lot of exercise, and communicated proactively which put our minds at ease (this was the first time we’ve had an in-home sitter for our pet)). I highly recommend Halona and will definitely use her services again.”
“Julia is absolutely wonderful. My pups were well taken care of, and I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated! She went above and beyond and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. Highly recommended her services!”
“Absolutely stellar care! Myra provided such living and attentive care to our somewhat troublesome cur, who took to her like butter on warm bread. Myra kept us up to date with beautiful photographs and humorous commentary. She’s a delight and we look forward to our next engagement already!”
“Rita was terrific! My two fur babies loved her. Thank you for taking good care of them. For sending pictures and videos. If you are looking for someone to take a good care of your babies, Rita is the one!”
“Absolutely recommend Brooke! She was very communicative while staying at our house, and all of our pets made an appearance which is pretty rare, so honestly that's the best review I can give :).”
“Tina was on time, very communicative, sent lots of photos, and followed all of our special care instructions for our seven month old puppy. He was in a great mood when we returned and the house was in great shape. Thank you, Tina!”
“Rocky absolutely loved hanging out with Carrie. He got to meet Carrie's dog too! He had a great time. Carrie was absolutely wonderful for the entire time. She took great care of Rocky. She even went the extra long mile of cleaning our living area before we got home so we had less to do after our trip! Thanks Carrie!!”
“Courtney took such great care of our senior dogs. One of our dogs is blind with a fragile spine (herniated disc) and ear infections. She followed our instructions diligently. I received photos and prompt communication. We already rebooked Courtney for two other times, this time for a longer duration. Thanks Courtney!!”
“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!”
“April was SO great taking care of our girl Eve. She can be a little shy at first and has some separation anxiety neither of which phased April. She was patient and playful with Eve and set her right at ease. We also came home to the clean house right like we left it which is also such a relief!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She took great care of our 3 doggos, sending all the pictures a dog mom could have wanted. She gave regular updates, which really set our minds at ease while we were away. She has a great way with pups, understanding the each doggo has their own personality and working with them as they were comfortable. Highly recommend her, your pups will be in save hands!”
“Rachel continues to be an amazing sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure Rooney is comfortable and happy and is wonderful about keeping in touch. Rooney loves spending time with her, and it’s such a relief having a sitter I can trust completely while I’m away.”
“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.”
“Fantastic dog sitter. Amila stayed with our 1 year old Bernadoodle for 5 days and he was so comfortable with her. She took him on multiple walks a day and he loved it. She left our place immaculate. Would highly recommend!”

Hosana took excellent care of my two high-energy dogs (one of which is extra, extra high-energy). Really appreciated her updates and excellent, proactive communication. She stayed at our house and took great care. We very much appreciate her and look forward to using her services again!

Leaving our sweet pup, Winnie, is always hard, but finding someone you truly trust to care for them (and your home!) is such a gift. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Serafina! She took the time to meet Winnie ahead of our trip and genuinely cared about getting to know her routine and what would make her (and us!) feel most comfortable. Throughout the weekend, she sent us the most thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us an immense peace of mind knowing Winnie was in such wonderful hands. We feel so lucky to have found Serafina and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!!
Our pets LOVED having April stay with them while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout her stay and it was obvious they felt right at home with her. She is super responsive and accommodating, and our home was spotless when we returned. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, April!
Vicki was so kind and wonderful with Manchitas. She took such great care of her, and most importantly, she followed her schedule perfectly. Thank you so much, Vicki, for doing such an excellent job! We truly appreciate it and would definitely hire you again. 💕🐾
Brenna was great! The pups seemed right at home with her. She was very responsive and sent pictures every day along with updates on how their day went. I felt very comfortable having her caring for the them and will definitely contact her for future petsitting 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

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.
