“Elizabeth is really great with our 2 dachshunds. She took the time to get to know them, and she clearly loves dogs! She's a great communicator and sends us picture updates, which gives us a lot of peace of mind while we're away. She's super reliable and we've been lucky to be able to rebook her a few times.”
“Christy is the best! She stayed with our beloved pup for over a week, and took great care of him. She sent us amazing photos of him daily, and our house was clean and orderly upon return. I’m so glad to have connected with Christy and we will definitely be inviting her back to take care of Donhenley.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have started watching other peoples dogs 5 years ago… I want to continue sharing my love for dogs and also my own two dogs Sophie and Millie. They are both. very friendly.. They loves meeting other dogs and having their company and play time I’m currently an undergrad student at Florida State university and I am home for the summer months. I take them for frequent walks. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. Can’t wait to meet!
“Ellie watched our two dogs for the day. She was great! Very responsive, kind, arrived on time, sent us photos cuddling with our pets and sent updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of two golden retrievers of my own. I have experience working with puppies as well as larger sized dogs. I love playing with dogs and making sure their needs are met. I’m currently working at a school and will have more availability this summer to take additional clients. I am available in the afternoon and evenings. I thrive off of detailed explanation from pet parents on how to make their fur babies more comfortable while their parents are away. I make sure to leave everything clean and tidy after my service is complete.
“Yhakerra was a wonderful dog sitter!! So happy with everything. The dogs were very happy when I returned home and our place was clean and tidy as well. She sent photos and videos, communicated daily, and did so many things above and beyond expectations for their care. I will definitely hire her again for future care.”
“My dog got kennel cough before we were traveling and I needed to find last minute arrangements at our house for him since he could not be in a group setting. I looked on Rover and was lucky enough that Julia had a last minute availability. Little did I know that Julia would be everything we needed and more! Julia sent frequent updates on Boulder and another bonus was that she is a photographer and takes beautiful photos!! She cared for Boulder so well and I was completely comfortable even though he was sick. I will absolutely be using her again!!”
About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.
About: I’ve been house sitting/pet sitting since I was around 17 years old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, fish and more. I’m familiar with pee pads, crate training and dog diapers. I will always treat your animal with respect and kindness, showing them so much love while you are away. I’m currently not working so I would have plenty of time to be with your furbaby. I do volunteer work during the week but I would still have plenty of time to care and be with your animal. I can walk, play, snuggle, crate train and prepare meals for your animals. You just tell me what the preferred routine is and I’ll do my best to match that so your animal feels safe and loved.
About: I have four grown independent children and had a chocolate lab while they were growing up…. Now live alone and am sharing my time with others I typically care for 1 pet at a time however, if I do receive another request, I will check with both owners to see if their pet would be OK having company and then would allow for two. I work part time locally, and can even bring your pet to the office, where there are a lot of friendly workers coming in and out throughout the day. Aside from that, I stay close to home while caring for your pet and never leave for more than a short while. your pet will get plenty of attention, and if they are up to it, I will socialize them with my friend’s pets and/or the dog park. I try my best to cater to each individual pet, per the instructions of the owner. I’d like to get to know their personalities and their likes/dislikes, and make sure that they are comfortable in my home.
“Brandon was great! He came to meet us beforehand to make sure we were comfortable. Booch immediately loved him. While we were away he was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was also well taken care of. We would definitely hire him again!”
“Taylor regularly walks/house sits for my dog! She’s always reliable and communicative when she’s taking care of my pup. I absolutely recommend Taylor for your pets needs!”
“The family never worries when Tatiana is watching our “girls”, who are a handful to say the least. Great communication and a caring attitude are the hallmarks of Tatiana’s service! The best.”

I͟ w͟i͟l͟l͟ n͟o͟t͟ a͟c͟c͟e͟p͟t͟ d͟o͟g͟s͟ w͟h͟o͟ •Are aggressive in any way I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your fur baby. A Fun time is in order to tire them out. Following directions on how your pet is cared for is my top priority. It can be scary meeting a new person so it's important to take the time in their environment.
About: The highlight of my dog's day is going on his walks, I want to make sure every pup gets to have theirs! Over 5 years of experience walking my own and my friends' dogs of different breeds and sizes. Experience with shy, timid rescues as well, my own dog is a pit/lab mix rescue from Texas and I was able to build up his confidence through regular routine walking! I have plenty of free time during the week to give your pup a quality walk, currently in between jobs so I am available most days. My dog, Bowie gets at least two 20-30 min walks a day with the occasional hike and dog park visit, I love to make sure he is active and having fun with water on hand for hot days or extra long walks to make sure he is hydrated throughout.
“He stayed at my home with my pup Bamba for a week and made the whole process so easy. He was respectful of my space — the house was spotless when I got back — and, most importantly, I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!”
“We recently had David dog sit for us, and he did a fantastic job! He came over the night before to meet our dogs and get familiar with their routine, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was thoughtful and prepared. While we were away, our flight ended up being delayed by almost five hours, and David stayed longer without hesitation to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. That kind of reliability and flexibility is rare and so appreciated. When we got home, it was clear the dogs were happy, calm, and well looked after. We’re very grateful for David’s care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bardonia
We had such a great experience with Christie watching our dogs, Kane and Rina! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures, walk updates, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
Angelica is truly wonderful. She cared for our dog Gus while we were away, and knowing he was with someone so gentle and attentive gave us real peace of mind. We had just recently lost our other dog, Zoe, prior to this trip, and Angelica handled everything with such kindness. She gave Gus the attention and reassurance he needed to feel at ease while we were gone. We’re so grateful for her.
Eric was an amazing sitter for Luna! We received daily updates of videos and pictures. It was the first time she wasn’t being taken care of by immediate family. Our girl is a fussy little eater but Eric was generously patient with our feeding requirement which needed boiled chicken on the daily. He walked and gave her all the play time she wanted. She got even more spoiled! He even ran out and got her extra Greenies and wet food when her supply ran out! We will definitely be asking Eric to watch her again when we can’t bring her with us. What a relief all around that we found such a great sitter!!
We had a great experience with Kerra as our pet sitter. She stayed at our house for nine days (over Christmas week). Our diaper-wearing, 14 year old basset hound can certainly be a bit of a handful, but Kerra didn't flinch one bit. She gave him and our two cats all the attention and care they could ask for. And the fact that she has experience working at an animal clinic added an extra layer of comfort for us. She was very communicative, sending us daily photos of the pets and didn't hesitate to reach out if she had any questions. When we returned home, the pets were happy and healthy, and the house was nice and clean. Kerra is a kind, patient, all around awesome human being, and we would highly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to have her.
We were so fortunate to have had Ivan watch our puppy for a weekend! We learned so much from Ivan’s expertise as he generously shared so much training knowledge with us. He took excellent care of our puppy, took him on many adventures, and we came home to the happiest dog! Would highly recommend any of his services to others.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bardonia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bardonia on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 17,837 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bardonia. 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 Bardonia 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 Bardonia 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 Bardonia 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.
