“Jordan did an amazing job with Zola as always. She is great in the best of circumstances but what I really appreciate about Jordan is how she manages the unexpected problems that sometimes come up. She goes above and beyond and communicates so well it’s easy to figure out solutions together. Thank you!”
“Claudia was great! We had her come to the house with Olaf to meet our dogs before booking and she was great with the dogs, considerate, and very thorough in her questions and note taking. She was communicative while we were away and left our home in great condition. The dogs seemed to bond well with her and we would certainly recommend her to others for dog/farm sitting.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14, I have watched all sorts of pets with different needs and personalities. I actually helped deliver my dog bear. I have taken care of birds, cats, dogs, fish, plants, children, and always received positive feedback. I have taken care of reactive animals, animals with anxiety, medication needs, I’ve taken care of older animals and young animals. I am planning on going to college in the fall for marine biology, I have a car and am willing to drive. I am currently unemployed and am looking to find some solid ways to make money for college by doing something I love. I will cater to your pets needs and do whatever needs to be done to give you and your pets a stress free environment. I can take them to appointments, I know how to crate, give injections, I will follow how YOU want the animal to be cared for, whether that’s by giving them space or attention.
“Hiring Stef was our first dog/house sitting experience. Glad that I went with my hunch that she would be the perfect fit. Stef was amazing with our little Pomeranian. She left the house so nice and clean upon our return, and was an amazing communicator. Plus, Stef is just a really nice person who is so great and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about how Brandy took care of our dog. She is caring and really bonded with Abbey. Her daily photos were a source of great comfort for us as we traveled, knowing Abbey was in such good hands. Also, she left the house in wonderful shape - vacuumed the whole house and everything was shipshape. We will definitely use Brandy again when we travel.”
“Miss Holly was amazing with our animals, they were very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as we left it upon our return. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”
“We are so very grateful for Carlynn! She was absolutely incredible and sent the best updates. We felt so safe leaving our girls with her and the house was in fantastic shape (better than we left it)! 10/10 recommend and we will absolutely be using her again!”
“Ana is fantastic! She’s consistently reliable, communicative, and caring. We always choose her whenever we travel because we know our dog will be well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. She was my first live-in overnight sitter and she helped me feel so at ease about the whole process. She communicated well prior to the pet sitting dates, and she sent me daily updates on how things were going along with pictures of my very happy dogs while in her care. I have three dogs with different needs and abilities and they all had a great time with her. I would absolutely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Our experience with Brandi was super. From our initial meet and greet to the actual visit Brandi is very punctual and has wonderful communication skills. I had zero worries while I was away for a few days. Brandi followed all my instructions and there were quite a few instructions! Both of my dogs was well cared for, eat well, got exercised and loved. I also got regular updates on the card given. Such a big relief to have someone as competent as Brandi available to pet sit. Thanks so much!!”

About: Passionate about loving and caring for animals, with professional service-dog training experience and expertise handling small, large, and giant breeds, working dogs, medically complex pets, and animals requiring individualized attention. My experience ranges from Jack Russells to a medically high-maintenance Great Dane and, currently, my white German Shepherd. I also have professional dog-training experience with Brandon McMillan at Lucky Dog Ranch in Los Angeles, including service-dog training. That experience taught me the importance of understanding canine behavior, body language, consistency, structure, and adapting my approach to each individual dog. I’m comfortable with strong and energetic dogs, seniors, special-needs pets, detailed feeding routines, and dogs requiring additional attention or care. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you genuinely trust to walk or care for your beloved pet. I treat every dog as an individual, respect the training and routines you have established, and provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I believe dogs thrive with consistency, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and routine they’re already comfortable with. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, meals, medications, potty breaks, playtime, training, and downtime. I’m active and happy to accommodate everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to longer, more energetic outings for dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation. I also make time for play, enrichment, affection, and plenty of rest. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day around their age, energy level, personality, and individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Safety and trust always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to understand their normal routine, personality, training, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. My professional service-dog training experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language and behavior, use calm and consistent handling, and create an environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and maintain the routines and boundaries their dog already knows. Walks are handled responsibly, doors and gates are always checked, and pets are supervised with their safety and comfort in mind. When caring for pets in your home, I’m equally respectful of your space and privacy. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely confident that both your pet and your home are in responsible, caring hands.
“Paris was a great doggy and house sitter for us on a weekend trip we took. She was very communicative with updates about our pup and made us feel very comfortable leaving our little guy! Thank you again, Paris!”
“Craig did a great job taking care of my dog Stan for 8 nights. Stan clearly adored him. Craig sent pictures and cheerful updates every day, and took good care of my house also (the kitchen was spotless, cleaner than when I left). I look forward to having Craig stay with Stan again on my next trip.”
About: For over twenty years, I've had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals—everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, fish, birds, hamsters, and even hermit crabs! I also spent five wonderful years on a farm, which gave me the chance to learn about farm animals and livestock. I absolutely love animals and believe it’s so important to make sure your furry friends are happy and well taken care of. I recently left my federal job and now have a flexible schedule to care for and entertain your furry friends. I will have intermittent availability in the month of September while I travel abroad starting on September 9th. Loving and reliable pet care tailored to your furry friend’s needs. I provide safe walks, home visits, cuddles, and attention, ensuring every tail wags with joy.
“Heather was able to do a last minute meet and greet and watch my dog when my other dog sitter cancelled the night before I was supposed to leave. So grateful for her responsiveness and coming to help quickly. She did a great job taking care of my dog who liked her immediately when we did the meet and greet. I came home to a super clean home and happy dog. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to someone else for pet care.”
“I unfortunately didn’t have service for our trip. And being a helicopter mom it scared me BUT Michael did great, even sent me pictures of them, even though i didn’t have service i appreciated them once i received them❤️ I will 100% book again in the future and also recommend!!”
“Maria is a wonderful sitter and radiates with enthusiasm for dogs! While sitting my 12 week old puppy at my home, she went out of her way to teach my puppy more commands and work with her on socialization.”

Thank you for visiting my profile ^ ^ I have experience babysitting my friends pets, I love playing and spending time with pets, it gives me a sense of joy knowing that I’m helping both pets and their owners, I look forward to meeting you, and your dear pet <3 I’m very flexible with my time, I’m comfortable with daily tasks like feeding, walking, and playtime.

“We can’t say enough good things about the wonderful care Aydin gave our girls while we were away. Aydin was attentive, kind, communicative, and treated our dogs like his own. He sent us tons of pictures (which was so much appreciated while we were away), and made sure our older dog got her meds exactly when they were due. He went above and beyond all of our expectations of care for our girls! We had no issues leaving our girls with Aydin and we will absolutely be booking again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Baring
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Baring. 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 Baring 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 Baring 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 Baring 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
