“Ken is amazing!! He took great care of Dixie (and my home) while I was away, and will definitely book him again!!! He's greatly professional and his love of dogs shines through!”
“Susan was amazing! She took time to meet with me and my dog Bella. During this visit, Bella sat on the couch with Susan and laid her head in Susan's lap and went to sleep. While I was away, Susan sent me pictures so I could see Bella was doing ok. I definitely want Susan to stay with Bella again!”
“Cindy did an excellent job keeping Peanut company while we were away and kept us updated with lots of pics. She was always responsive and I would gladly use her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“From the very first day Jessica displayed an exemplary level of trust, care and individual attention with our two cats. My husband and I have done some traveling over the past year. The most stressful aspects by far have been finding a pet sitter for our two cats and being able to trust the sitter to carry out the somewhat nuanced aspects of care they require. If you are anything like us, you view your furry loved ones as nuanced snowflakes which can lead to constant worrying about whether the individual watching them really cares for them the way that you do. Jessica’s adherence to instructions and open communication allowed us to relax and know our cats were in good hands from the very first day. She provided great pictures and updates in a timely matter. It was clear that Jessica’s energy was nurturing and attentive as every single picture showed our two cats looking beyond content. They even seemed to be getting along in a way that surprised us! This was surely due to her calming demeanor and loving attention which we felt from the moment we met her. When we returned home after about 10 days it was like our cats didn’t even realize we were gone, which while somewhat annoying to us(🤭), was such an incredible sign! They were loved and cared for in our absence and that is all we could want. Our home was left clean and organized with nothing out of place. Awesome. With Jessica, we feel like we can travel with peace of mind knowing that our precious pets are in the best of hands as well as our home which is truly special. We could not recommend her more highly. Thank you Jessica!”
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every dog like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra patience, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. Especially with my two that I have! I have taken pride in my experience to take the best care for them in any way! Easy; it’s my life lol. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”
About: I’ve worked with animals for 3 years now, I even had some of my own in the past. Reliable. Open. & Fun loving. Give me the opportunity to work with your pets! I do have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to work with you and your schedules! I am usually always open on weekends! Reach out :) I live on my own and have no issues caging any of your pets if instructed to. Same respect for your homes as well! I’m open to discussing more.
About: Hi! I'm so glad you're here! 🐾My love for animals started when I was a kid. I remember spending time at the library reading dog breed books and learning about all the different personalities and traits that make each animal unique. That passion turned into my first job at 13 when I started helping at my neighbor's dog grooming salon. I began walking her dogs and other neighbors' dogs, then started dog sitting as well. It was the best first job I could have asked for because I got to spend my time doing something I truly loved. For over 10 years, I have continued building my experience with animals through dog walking, pet sitting, working at PetSmart, Petco, and boarding facilities. I have cared for pets with different breeds, ages, personalities, and needs, and I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where they feel loved. I truly love all animals and believe every pet deserves kindness, patience, and compassion. I care for both dogs and cats, and I even look after the stray cats in my neighborhood because I believe every animal deserves care and a little extra love. My dream is to open my own doggy daycare one day, and caring for pets through Rover allows me to continue doing what I love while building meaningful relationships with pets and their families. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! 🐶🐱 I work during the day, but I am available for pet care after 4 PM on weekdays and have availability on weekends. I enjoy using my free time to care for animals, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, or simply giving pets some extra love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine, respect their home, and provide the same love and attention I would want for my own animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is to give both pets and owners peace of mind.
“Ashton spent 8 days homesitting our two babies Frankie and Dixie while we were away on vacation. She texted us daily with pictures and updates on how things were going. We were pleased with her service, especially with her staying at our home with our babies. She took care of our babies and our checked the mail daily. Will use her again on future trips.”
“Carole was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our 1.5-year-old rescue puppy and our 11-year-old cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was friendly, reliable, and consistently sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Carole spent quality time caring for and playing with our puppy, making sure his energy and needs were met, while also being respectful of both pets’ unique personalities and boundaries—especially important for our older cat. It was clear she truly cares about animals and takes the time to understand them individually. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and we”
“Nmantendi was THE BEST!! We were gone 3 nights and got updates and photos many times throughout the day. We came home to a spotless and organized home and happy dog. Unfortunately, our puppy got sick on the last day, but she was there to love and care for him until we got home. She will be our go to person to watch our dog and home. Thank you, Nmantendi!!!”
“This was our second time using Raniyah. She is so kind, gentle, and patient with our scaredy-cat dog and provides lots of playtime for the kitties. She sends tons of photos and interacts freely if she needs anything — which I appreciate. I’m so happy to have found her and hope to use her again soon. Highly recommended! 😊”
“I really wanted to keep Brianna, but she communicates well when securing the job but her communication is hit or miss when sitting. Also, the last visit she was late and I asked for her to modify the visit to a drop in since she came late even after me asking for a cancelation. I still have not gotten half of my money back even after contacting Rover, which Brianna has nothing to do with. She was great with my pet and I appreciate that, but as a traveling fur mommy, communication is non negotiable and I still want my refund from Rover.”
“Lori is a phenomenal pet care provider and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. The service she provides is a cut above and my family, my pet and I are so happy to have found her.”
“She was amazing, she took great care of my two pups, kept them both happy and well cleaned after. She gave lots of updates and photos. I will most definitely use her again in the future”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bannister Acres
I got home to two pups who were excited to see me, but otherwise calm and happy. Dylan is a kind, chill presence and it seemed that Rocko and Hazel took their cue from that, and followed suit. They were obviously well cared for. The ability to remain home, for these two anyway, went a long way in giving me the peace of mind to be away for a few days. I would not hesitate to recommend Dylan to friends, neighbors or family needing care for their pets, nor will I hesitate to place Rocko and Hazel in Dylan's reliable hands in the future. Thank you so much, Dylan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bannister Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,275 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bannister Acres. 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 Bannister Acres 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 Bannister Acres 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 Bannister Acres 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.
