“Rachael is absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for the week and took such great care of our dogs. They got plenty of walks, and her thoughtful updates (with pictures and videos!) really helped put us at ease while we were away. She clearly knows a lot about dog behavior and handled our big pups so well, even though they can be a handful .. at times 😝 We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house, it was perfect!! I’m so grateful we found her and can confidently say she’s our go to dog sitter from now on. Thank you so much, Rachael :)”
“Samantha was great with Bear! She stayed at our place and took him on walks, played with him, and sent us pictures throughout the day. We really appreciated her help and look forward to having her back!”
“Rebecca has been house sitting for Mikko and Kona most of this year, and she is absolutely fantastic with them! She is ultra dependable and takes care of them! She has even helped with some other friend’s dogs when they were in a bind. I could not be more grateful for Rebecca and her care!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We had an amazing experience with Efraim over the holidays. He took exceptional care of our dogs, fish, turtle, and even our Christmas tree, and left our home absolutely spotless. It was clear how loving and attentive he was with our pets, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Efraim is incredibly trustworthy, professional, and truly wonderful with animals. We will absolutely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best pet care!!!”
“Mia was wonderful with Freddie! As new puppy parents, we really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel leaving him in her care. She watched him for two back-to-back days, communicated clearly throughout, and was respectful of our home and schedule. We’d happily book her again — thank you, Mia!”
“Halona is wonderful! She is now our go-to walker and house sitter. Halona has taken our 100 lb American Bulldog on many walks, and has stayed at our home while we go on vacation, including a 10 day trip. She is friendly, always on time, and 100% trustworthy. And of course our dog absolutely adores her! We did lots of research and interviewed many candidates, she is the best by far. So happy to have found her!”
“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for others through nannying and customer service roles, so being dependable, attentive, and patient comes naturally to me. I have experience working at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and have done pet sitting for a few years now. I truly love being around animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of companionship and affection. I'm currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I'm hoping to mainly focus on building my pet sitting business. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Erika was fantastic with the dogs and excellent with communication. We felt at ease the whole time she was with the pups and she left the home spotless. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Tina was an amazing overnight dog sitter at our house! My dog is a rescue and is very nervous around other animals, so we have to have the dog sitter stay at our house when we can't take our dog with us. However, she warmed right up to Tina and they had a great time together. It was a 4 day overnight job. Tina was wonderful about sending updates and pictures, and she was detail oriented in giving medications. Will definitely use her again!”
“Vicki did a phenomenal job taking care of our boy Mylo. Mylo had to get some emergency stitches the day before we were going out of town. Vicki handled his care perfectly, sent us regular updates and dealt with all the drama that comes with Mylo having to wear a cone. We cannot thank her enough and absolutely would recommend her to everyone else.”
“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!!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Kelly!! I had to go out of town for a work trip, so we needed someone to hang out with our puppy Briar for 3 days while my boyfriend was at school. It was our first time leaving Briar alone with someone else at our home and we couldn't be more pleased with how everything worked out. Kelly was professional, very sweet, and, most importantly, Briar absolutely LOVED spending time with her! Kelly sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and quickly responded to all of our questions. Briar and Kelly went on lots of walks and played together all day. My boyfriend and I are new to Oregon and are extremely grateful to now have someone locally that we trust to take care of Briar. We will absolutely work with Kelly again and highly recommend her!! THANK YOU, Kelly!! You are amazing!!!”
“Matthew takes such good care of our dog Maple and our house when we are away!! We know she’s in good hands and we have nothing to worry about. He’s very communicative and trustworthy and loves your pet like his own. Highly recommend Matthew’s pet sitting services to anyone looking!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bancroft
I was very grateful to have found Elizabeth on Rover! She housesat for us and took care of our three cats. One of them suffered a health issue right before we had to go away and Elizabeth went above and beyond to provide excellent care for him including administration of multiple meds. She kept me well informed the entire time. Our other cats benefitted from her caring attenton as well. She also took excellent care of our home. I would absolutely book her again and I know my kitties would be happy to have her back!
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!
Michelle was hands down the best with our Zoey girl. She was very detail oriented, loving towards our pup, incredibly knowledgeable on best care practices for our fur baby, and simply such a kind person to be around. 100% going to be leaning on her as a support for our dog in the future :)
Megan was wonderful taking care of my dog, Teddy, and staying at my house for a long weekend. I could tell Teddy was a happy boy and getting lots of snuggles and attention. Megan had no trouble giving Teddy his medicine, and she was responsive and communicative. I’ll definitely ask her to care for Teddy in the future!
We had the pleasure of hiring Elaine again during our 18-day trip, and she was absolutely wonderful. She took exceptional care of our little dog, who requires a lot of attention and affection. Elaine sent us daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, we found a clean house and, most importantly, a happy and healthy dog. We feel very lucky to have found Elaine and would not hesitate to recommend her. We look forward to working with her again in the future.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bancroft
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bancroft on Rover is $49.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,663 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.

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.
