“Lauren was great! I felt very comfortable leaving our kitty in her care and she got the attention and meds she needed while we were away. We'd love to have Lauren back!”
“Jacki is amazing!!!! I cannot say enough good words about her! She provides constant updates with great information about the my pets and lots of very cute photos! She made me feel super confident that my pets are well taken care of so I don’t have to worry about them. There’s always an update coming my way right when I wanted to check. She also has great attention to details and noticed that I had a perishable package delivered. She checked in with me to get my permission for next steps and I really appreciate how she approached that situation. It is an amazing experience having Jacki as a sitter. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering.”
“Tatyana did a great job with our three dogs who range in size from a 90 lb German shepherd down to a 25 lb mutt. She sent pictures and videos, and with it being the first time she watched our dogs, it made me feel 100x more comfortable. We also had one dog who needed to take medication that she ensured was administered.”
“James was great! He came over to meet our 3 cats before his overnight stay which helped us feel more comfortable. He swept and cleaned, everything is just as we left it! He was great at communicating check in and questions , provided photos which was so cute and much appreciated! 10/10 would recommend and book again”
“Monica went above and beyond! Our dog really had a great time with her and Bella, and the kitties also loved her. She sent lots of photos every day, and our dog also took me to her house once we got home because she missed her! I highly recommend Monica for all of your pet care needs.”
About: Growing up, my house has always had at least three dogs (both big and small), and I could never imagine my life without pets. I currently live with a dog (pitty mix) and a cat (a cuddly gray tuxedo)! I adopted my dog about a year ago through a rescue, so I’ve also had some very recent training refreshers! I have taken animal husbandry - including first-aid on dogs and cats - courses throughout school, including learning how to care for exotic critters! I have cared for my dogs from the puppy stage to the senior stage, so I am familiar with what each life stage brings. Although I have more experience with dogs, I still love cats and spending time with them just as much. I have lived with my current cat for 3 years, and she has taught me many things about cat behavior and companionship! I have an understanding and love for every animal, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work full-time (with the flexibility to step away for a quick drop-in) from 6am to 2-3pm Monday thru Thursday, and Friday 6am-11am. I am free anytime after work, and my weekends are typically open! I will treat each client’s home and belongings with the upmost respect and care. Cleanliness is very important to me, so you can expect to return to a clean and tidy living space. I will ensure that your pet will remain in a safe and healthy home while you are away. Leaving a pet with someone else can be scary, so I want to make the experience for the owner and the pet as peaceful and pleasant as possible.
“Maya did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty Princess, who has some special needs and requires daily medications. She was super responsive and sent me daily updates and pictures so I did not worry. Thanks again for taking such good care of my sweet girl!”
“We have never left our boy, Griffin for more than a couple of days before. We went on a two week trip and hired Travis to watch our big sheepadoodle. He was incredible! He sent us pictures and videos of Griffin at the dog park and around the third day, Griffin was giving him his paw and Travis was loving on him. We then received a picture of Griffin on the bed Travis used…. That sealed it…. Griffin loves him! We do too! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our boy❤️”
“What a great experience!! Manu is great, Paco was so well cared for in his own home. Manu took the time to meet him and then to tend to his needs while caring for him. She always kept in touch and took beautiful pictures. I am happy I found Manu. Will certainly go back to her. I highly recommend her. Thanks Manu!!!!”
“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, they are labs. Max is the oldest at 9yrs and Luca is the youngest at 5yrs old. He still acts like a puppy. I take care of the dogs whenever my parents are out of town. And love doing it I’m available on weekends and week days, I am able to house sit if need. I am not available on holidays. Monday - Friday Saturday- Sunday If you want to run a background check feel free to do so. I have references if needed as well. I promise to be on time and ready for any task given.
“I can’t say enough good things about Jen! She is so incredibly communicative, conscientious, and kind in all our interactions. She treated our dog Melvin with so much care and gave a lovely report at the end of each day to let us know how things went (including adorable photos). Jen also went above and beyond to clean up our place before she left. She’s fantastic!”
“Phillip did an amazing job with Otso and left the house spotless after the house sitting. Thank you for watching, Otso-man who may be pining at the moment. I hope it is him pouting that I left or I may need to get jealous, haha”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I grew up in a house who always had some type of animal and learned how to love on them and give them the attention they need. I am currently at home and have a lot of time on my hands. I’m very flexible and cooperative with my schedule and willing to give any animal love and support. I have an invisible fence for my two dogs. One of my dogs has a crate he sleeps in and the other sleeps in whatever bed she wants that night.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Basco
Ellery is a wonderful pet sitter. It was clear from the moment we met her she cared about animals and immediately engaged with our dog. She stayed at our home and took great care of our pup and home. Something unexpected happened while we were away that was outside of her control and she immediately alerted us. She has great communication, is very capable and reliable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Basco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 815 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Basco. 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 Basco 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 Basco 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 Basco 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
