“Bethany did a wonderful job with our dogs. One of our dogs is known to be uppity and Bethany was patient with her. She finally won her over after several days which is quite an accomplishment. Bethany communicated well with pics and video often over the two weeks. We truly appreciate her care and attention to our animals and our home.”
“Trish was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She followed their routine and sent frequent updates and pictures. We loved to see that they were enjoying their time and playing. Our house was left in great condition. We would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Great dog sitter and person. Asked questions on our expectations from her and kept is well informed. Will definitely book with her when and recommend her to others. Thank you for making our trip away a blessed one. ?”
About: I’ve dog & cat sat for family & friends. This includes giving medicine , helping handicapped dogs, and feeding amongst other parts of their daily routine. I’m currently working partime so sitting is just on the side but my work schedule does not interfere , i don’t mind working and coming home to someone else’s dog in the slightest ! I treat everyone’s animals like my own. I have a cat and have had dogs in the past, i keep them on a routine & make sure their needs are taken care of at all times.
“Kathleen did a wonderful job taking care of our animals (3 dogs) and did some extra cleanup for us. She sent us pics and took some extra time to not only watch after the guinea pigs, hamster and mouse, but even cleaned out their stinky cages. It was obvious that the dogs were comfortable with her. Thanks Kathleen. We appreciate all you did for us.”
“Phillip took great care of our 2 big dogs for a long weekend and was very respectful of our home. He is very communicative and diligent about making sure he is following your instructions and the different needs of each dog. Would highly recommend!”
“Kianna took wonderful care of Benny in my home! This was the first time I've had someone stay with him and Kianna provided a wonderful experience. She was very communicative while I was away and left the space tidy. I'll definitely schedule with her again!”
“Rachel was prompt, sent photos, multiple written updates and took great care of our pup. She was able to figure out her likes and our shy pup quickly warmed up to her 😊”
About: Hi! I'm Charisma, a reliable and caring pet sitter with previous pet-sitting experience. As a paraprofessional, I'm patient, responsible, and attentive. I treat every pet like family and provide loving care, playtime, walks, and updates while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining consistent routines. As a paraprofessional, I am organized, dependable, and attentive to individual needs, which helps me provide reliable care for both pets and homes. I prioritize making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away.

I believe in keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they are away.
“Evangelene is amazing. She clearly loves animals and is so kind and caring. I’m am not sure our senior rescue greyhound even noticed we were gone. I highly recommend Evangelene. I felt completely confident our baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Mary is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ten plus stars! She was a very attentive loving honest caretaker of our 2 pugs & kitty. Mary attended to their needs daily especially our pug Simon and his very important heart medication. Mary went above and beyond and we highly recommend her to care for your pets!! 🩷 We will definitely have Mary come stay with our pets again in our home. Thanks 😊 Mary!!! Xoxo Bronson Simon & Boots 🩷”
About: From Mastiffs to Shih Tzus, I have befriended and taken care of all kinds and sizes of dogs. My own Australian Shepherd lived to be 15 and loved hiking, swimming and so much fetch. I know how to take care of young pups, high energy and high maintenance dogs, as well as the old ones who deserve all of our compassion. I'm currently working flexible hours, so I have the ability and energy to step out to take your dog for a walk. I can do scheduled walks or on-call visits. I have house- and dog-sat for my whole life, so I can accommodate your pets' specific needs. I pay close attention to their personalities and learn to communicate with each dog.
“The most amazing experience with Elisa!! She was incredibly awesome with our very shy 2 dogs. She was extremely patient to gain their trust (not easy to do BTW lol) to the point that they even slept with her after getting to know her- that is how good she is! We loved Elisa and definitely will be our -go to- from now on every time we need a doggy sitter. Our girls got a new bestie with Elisa!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,737 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bartville. 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 Bartville 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 Bartville 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 Bartville 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.
