“Joanna was excellent at all stages of the process! She is thorough, and kept me informed about Cash while we were gone, sending pictures and updates frequently. Cash really warmed up to her and we will definitely book with Joanna in the future. Thank you!”
“Haley did a wonderful job caring for my dog! She was professional, dependable, and attentive. I felt confident that my dog was in great hands and would gladly book with Haley again.”
“Lauran did an excellent job! She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs and the house. She sent pictures and videos along with updates. Would book her again!”
“Annie was perfect! First time Rover user and she answered all our questions timely. Consistent updates. We were never worried or concerned for our 6 day trip. Will certainly book again!”
“Tabitha was absolutely WONDERFUL. After having a horrible experience with another Rover sitter last year, we were very apprehensive to use another one. However, Tabitha completely exceeded our expectations during her stay w our 2 year old (needy & hyper) Vizsla. She sent pictures often & was extremely responsive any time we reached out just to check in. Would definitely use her again & highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”
“Emma was amazing! She kept me updated constantly on how my dog was doing and provided excellent care. I came home to a very happy dog. Very grateful for all her help!”
“Anna did an amazing job watching my dog, Pearl! She was very respectful, responded quickly to all of my messages, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing Pearl was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I'd be happy to book with her again!”
“Amber was amazing! This was the first time we left our 3 mini dachshunds with anyone other than a family member and it was a great experience. Amber made sure all of our pups were well cared for and she stayed with them 100% of the time. She is a great dog person and our pups took to her immediately! She sent pics of all the pups cuddling with her! We couldn’t have found a better pup sitter! Already scheduled her for our next vacation!”
“I would definitely recommend Ross! He made our girl feel right at home, and kept the same routine as we would. Provided us with plenty of photo updates as well. She enjoyed all her walks and extra treats.”
“We had Jennifer stay with our dog, Lucy, while we were out of town for Memorial Day weekend. To say she is amazing is an understatement. Our girl has some health issues and requires a very strict schedule of feedings and medication. I could tell Jennifer truly cared for Lucy and did an incredible job with her and her special needs. She sent daily pictures and updates, and our house was cleaner than we left it when we returned. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Jessi was great. My dog really enjoyed her and her sweet dog. She took good care of my dog’s toenail that had been torn off. She made sure he wore his sock and washed his foot when necessary. One day they got sick and she got there quickly to take care of them, even though she was working.”
“Emily was amazing. She watched our dogs all day while we were busy with holiday plans. She sent lots of pictures and was so intentional around care. My dogs are a bit reactive and she did great catering to their quirks. She's super friendly, great at communicating and overall and excellent pet sitter for anyone's pets.”
“Lauren is such a pleasure. Our fur baby and Lauren hit it off from the beginning. Lauren is very attentive to every need of your pet. She sent us pics while caring for our pet which made leaving our pet at home tolerable. I would recommend Lauren and plan to use her services again in the future. Now if we say Lauren's name in front of our baby she runs to the door looking for her. Again what a true pleasure it was having Lauren care for our pet while we I was having surgery.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bancroft
Joanna is amazing! I have two rescues and they are not great with strangers. She was patient and kind and both dogs were fine within a few hours . She sent texts and pictures several times a day to keep me updated. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!
Madison was a great sitter! I knew from the moment I met her that she was a good match. She was warm, friendly, and funny and connected with my dog right away. While we were away she consistently checked in and sent adorable photos. She took wonderful care of our home and brought in our mail as requested. Upon our return, the left everything clean and turned on the outside light for us since we got home late in the dark. I’m very happy with our experience with Maddy and would not hesitate to have her sit for us again.
Stephanie is amazing! She not only took exceptional care of our two high energy pups but is also extremely in tune with pet behavior. She gave me knowledgeable insights into how the dogs act and play together which will help immensely with their training. I can't recommend her enough- you won't be disappointed!
Anna did an amazing job watching my dog, Pearl! She was very respectful, responded quickly to all of my messages, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing Pearl was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I'd be happy to book with her again!
I couldn't have asked for a better house and pet sitter than Madison! She took care of my home and dog for two weeks, and everything was absolutely perfect. Communication was seamless—I received timely updates and plenty of photos that completely set my mind at ease while I was away. Not only was my dog happy and in great shape when I returned, but Madison also went above and beyond, helping water the plants and tidying up the house. Madison is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and professional. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!
This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bancroft
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 727 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.
