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.
“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!”
“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!”
“As always, Myra provided generous and attentive care to our dog over a holiday weekend. Myra brings experience, good judgment and genuine affection to every dog-sitting engagement. Highly recommend her!”
“Virginia was a lifesaver! We needed a dog/house sitter last minute, and she gladly accepted without hesitation. She even showed up at 5 AM when we were panicking about our puppy Chico barking and the neighbors possibly complaining. That alone already meant so much to us. She took such great care of Chico, played with him, kept him entertained, and he genuinely seemed to have an amazing time with her. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which says everything about how thoughtful and responsible she is. We’re super grateful for her help and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommended! 💛🐾”
“Leaving our dogs at home is always the hardest part of traveling, and we naturally worry about them. We’re so glad we found Efraim and the dogs absolutely love him! He did a wonderful job taking care of them while we were away. He was also very patient with our senior dog, who can be quite picky and slow with food, which we truly appreciated. We loved the updates he sent, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Efraim! We truly appreciate the care you gave our dogs and will definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Erica was an amazing dogsitter for my 2 pups! She was super communicative and kept in touch the whole time with messages and photos. She took extra care with my more tricky and shy pup, which I greatly appreciated. It was so nice knowing they were in great hands! Would definitely recommend!”
“Erica was awesome! ! She was on time and friendly! We were able to get her on short notice on a Holiday weekend! When we returned our pups were happy and relaxed and sad to see her go! Our dogs have a new Bestie in Oregon 👍”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tina, who cared for our dog Berkeley for two weeks while we were on vacation. From the start, she took the time to meet with me for a meet-and-greet, which really helped ensure it was a good fit for everyone—especially considering the specific needs of our elderly dog. While we were away, Tina communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending photos and videos that gave us great peace of mind. It meant so much to see that Berkeley was comfortable, happy, and well cared for in our absence. Tina stayed in our home during that time, and we returned to everything just as we had left it—clean, organized, and clearly well respected. It was such a relief to come home to a happy dog and a well-kept house. I would absolutely trust Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“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 were very nervous to leave our pup for a week. Since Covid, we haven’t been apart from him very much. Jessica was reassuring from the beginning. She took such good care of our sweet pup! We got daily updates, photos and Jessica was quick to reply anytime we texted. We could tell that Gus was comfortable and loved having Jessica with him. We have already rebooked for another week in July! We highly recommend Jessica for your pet sitting needs!”
“Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book 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.”
“A very last minute request to find a sitter for our little girl. Emily was very responsive to our needs, came over quickly to do a meet annd greet with Bailey Rose annd we decided to move forward. The next day, Emily arrives on time and she annd Bailey Rose hit it off. Bailey Rose enjoyed the time with her and their outings! Emily kept us up to date with the days events she has planned, sent pictures through the day and whenever we wanted an update, Emily was quick to respond and give us all the details. We never worried about Bailey Rose or our home as we knew it was left in good hands. Emily left the house in better condition than she started. Would definitely hire her again!”

Vicki is seriously amazing, she sent pics and videos throughout the day with Dexter and he just loves her so much! We’re always so cautious and nervous leaving Dexter with people we don’t really know but we knew since the meet and greet that she would be perfect. We are 100% planning to keep using her.
April was absolutely phenomenal! She cared for our pup who recently underwent surgery with diligence and care. April is highly knowledgeable, well equipped for different breeds, communicative, responsive and took great care of our home and special boy. We hope to work with April for all of our future dog sitting needs!
Kelly is one of a kind! First, she took the time and effort to meet up with us before the sit to make sure everything was clear and comfortable. She is very communicative (sent photos and updates regularly) and timely in her responses regarding scheduling. Murray was happy and calm when we got home, and the house was perfect. I never once felt anxious with Kelly at the house with him. Thank you Kelly!
Matt did a wonderful job with our 2 senior dogs He really loves the dogs we booked house sitting dog sitting overnights at our house. He even sent photos of our happy dogs hanging out with him on the family room couch We would highly recommend recommend him without any reservations!
Erica was an amazing dogsitter for my 2 pups! She was super communicative and kept in touch the whole time with messages and photos. She took extra care with my more tricky and shy pup, which I greatly appreciated. It was so nice knowing they were in great hands! Would definitely recommend!
Sachi was fantastic with my French Bulldog puppy! She sent daily photos and updates throughout the entire stay, which made me feel great knowing he was doing well. She followed all of my instructions and gave my puppy so much attention and care. Since he's still a puppy and needs a little extra attention, it meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Sachi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog.
Brooke was amazing! I was pretty nervous about leaving the girls for so long, but Brooke eased my mind. She stuck to the schedule we agreed on and sent me adorable pictures everyday. Brooke is very attentive and reliable. When I got home, my place was cleaner than it was when I left and most importantly, my girls looked happy and healthy. I will definitely be booking her again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bancroft on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,650 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.
