“Aliya provided sweet, loving and responsible care for my cat and home. She is a very kind animal lover and person with a great attention to detail. Would highly recommend her services.”
About: I enjoy the outdoors and taking a walk. Your dog will have lots of play time, as well as fun, treats, food and water. I just like having a dog around to keep each other company so they are not home alone for long time period, you know getting into mischief we can do that together and have more fun haha. I currently do not have any dogs but will get one when the time is right. I have enjoyed and attended dog shows showing for obedience and agility(Dalmatians). I also attended and passed the canine good citizenship test with my first dog. My second dog was adopted and we did agility and was a lot of fun. A dog is a companion in which you meet other dog friendly people. I'm currently working full time but would have time to care for your fur kid/s before and after work, get mail, water plants, check house. I do not have a fenced yard so would take your fur kids out on a leash at your home or if fenced and you chose for them to be loose at your home.
“Katie is truly the best. She took care of our pit bull and our sphynx, plus our best friend’s older pit who has mobility issues, anxiety, and a pretty involved medication routine. Managing all three could not have been easy, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. We’ve used Katie multiple times and she’s always reliable, communicative, and incredibly trustworthy. She keeps us updated with messages and photos, takes great care of our home, and most importantly makes sure our pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. This was our third time working with Katie and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.”
“Theresa was great with my tiny puppy (14 weeks)! I came home to a very happy and calm pup who had clearly had a wonderful afternoon. Theresa is a real pro - I’m new to this, and she was extremely helpful explaining potty training and leash weights.”
“We came back to happy, calm dogs and a well organized house. Really appreciated the daily updates and pictures and Coors and Ryder look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for allowing us to go away without worrying.”
About: What started as a personal challenge—overcoming my childhood fear of dogs—became a journey of love. By volunteering with service dogs, I discovered my passion for all kinds of dogs, big and small. Now, I bring that same warmth and dedication to caring for your pet. My Schedule is Flexible, Reliable, and Full of Love for Your Fur Babies! I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Most weekdays are wide open for visits, playtime, or overnight stays. Whatever your furry family member needs to feel happy, safe, and loved-i'm your sitter! Anxious or rambunctious, I'm patient and caring. Let’s make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve!
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as family members’ and neighbors’ dogs, including handling different temperaments. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. In the fall, I may still have limited availability on certain days depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your home with care, keeping everything clean, tidy, and organized. I won’t bring anyone over — just me and your pet, focused on keeping them happy and stress-free.
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.
“Ashley took care of our 3 pets (2 cats/1 dog) while we were away for the weekend. She provided us with texts and photos every time she stopped by, assuring us all was well. She also made sure to contact us immediately by phone when a small, yet troubling, incident took place. She definitely took her time with our pets seriously! It's the kind of care anyone would want for their pets! The time she spent with us during our initial visit getting to know our pets, their schedule and needs, was also appreciated. It was wonderful to make her acquaintance, and I would highly recommend you hire her for any of your pets needs! We certainly would again! Thank you, Ashely!”
“Jesse is THE BEST. After requesting the booking, he came out to meet us and our two boys, taking his own personal time to make sure it was a good fit. During his stay, he kept us informed with pictures and notes on the pups. He left our house just as he found it and, most important, we came home to 2 happy, sleepy dogs, tired after a vacation of their own! Jesse is reliable and incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking. Can’t wait to have him back!”
About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.
“Tara sent beautiful photos of my girl, and it is obvious just how happy she is. Tara is knowledgeable about dog care, and identified a potential ear infection right away, and our vet told me she did all the right things and it cleared up the next day. I completely trust her with the care of my dog and my home and will definitely book with Tara again.”
“Elissa is the BEST! My poor girl was very anxious and confused when she first came over, and she handled her so well. She was patient and loving, and I appreciated that she kept me informed. An added bonus- When I got home, the house was spotless and looked like I never left! Your fur babies will be in amazing hands with Elissa!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bantam on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,476 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bantam. 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 Bantam 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 Bantam 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 Bantam 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.
