About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s pets for about 8 years now. I would walk, feed and play with their pets. I build relationships with dogs very easily. I’m only working part time so I will have plenty of time to give your pet(s) the love and attention that they deserve! I am also available on holidays I am very cautious when I am with any pet, watching out for cars and anything else that could be dangerous. I do not let the pets eat anything suspicious and I will do anything that they need.

“Nichole was awesome! With my dog having a lot of anxiety, I’m a bit picky with who I have watching the animals. My plans had changed and the stay wound up only being for a couple of hours rather than overnight but by the end of it my dog didn’t want her to leave. She’s so sweet, considerate and well communicative. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a nursing student with 9 years of pet care experience and a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to shy or anxious pets who need a calmer, more patient approach. I’m a pet owner myself, so I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your animals with someone new. My goal is to make that as easy as possible for both you and your pet. I’m big on following routines, paying attention to the little details, and sending plenty of photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m comfortable with: • Dogs and cats of all sizes and ages • Puppies and young, energetic pets • Shy, anxious, or slower-to-warm-up animals • Feeding and medication routines • Walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection • Multiple-pet households • Keeping a close eye on changes in behavior, appetite, or energy My nursing background has made me especially attentive, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I take pet safety seriously, but I also want your pet to have fun and feel genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your pet wants long walks, endless fetch, couch cuddles, or someone to simply sit nearby until they feel comfortable, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll care for them the way I’d want someone to care for my own. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your pets and learn all of their little routines, quirks, and favorite things! I’m currently in college full-time. I have recently left my full time job to make more time for schooling. My days mostly involve massive amounts of studying, but in between that I am needing to fill my time with taking care of furry friends. I do not offer pet care at my home, but I do have two cats who think they are dogs. One named Sylvester Stallone and Storm.

About: Hi! I’m Taylor P, I’m 20 years old and have been house sitting for over a year now with two amazing clients. I care for both dogs and cats and have grown up around them my whole life. I also have two special needs cats of my own, so I’m very patient, attentive, and detail-oriented when it comes to care. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Yes, pet care fits well into my daily schedule. I balance work and school while house sitting, and I always plan my days around the pets in my care. I make sure they are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get exercise and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe. Since I have experience with special needs pets, I’m very attentive to behavior changes and comfortable giving medications or extra care if needed.

About: I have been fortunate to love and care for pets of all types for over 40 years. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Great Danes to chihuahuas and cats of all temperaments. In college I worked at a rescue facility for animals and I also have worked with farm animals. I have some medical experience and comfortable giving medications and treatments on animals with instructions. I am semi-retired and can spend more time with your pets. I am retired from my corporate job and work sporadically as a professional real estate inspector. When hired to care for your pets I will have few distractions and will be able to spend as much time as needed caring for them. At home I have 2 small-medium sized dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs have full use of. I also have a pool that dogs who like to swim can use. I frequently take them on walks at a local park or longer hikes at Tyler State Park. At your home I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. I am able to check in frequently or stay with them, depending on distance and their needs.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ve cared for all different kinds of animals and previously worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I’m currently in college studying pre veterinary medicine, so caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about. I’d love to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule can vary, but I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after 1 PM, as well as most weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible! I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them comfortable. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime, extra attention, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there for them. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: My husband and I are dog lovers, and we have a friendly and sweet Cane Corso and English Bulldog mix named "Homie." He is 9 years old and gets along well with other dogs. Since we both work from home and have plenty of downtime, I can take your dog for walks, play with them, while you're at work or on a short vacation. We have a good-sized backyard and are very particular about what we feed our dog. We take Homie to the park four times a week, and on the other days, we enjoy neighborhood walks. I work from home, and my schedule is very flexible. I like to stay active by walking my dog four times a week, playing with him, running errands, baking, and selling. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your dog can run and play. The yard is also equipped with live feed cameras at both the front and back for added security.hing you would like me to do to ensure better care for your furry friend while you are away, ple If there's anytase let me know.

About: I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years! I am currently working a full time Monday through Friday job, but I do have weekends free and evenings. I also can get Fridays off most of the time if needed. I have been at my current job for almost 7 years so my bosses are very negotiable and I am generally able to adjust my schedule with advance notice. I will play with your pups, cuddle, take them on walks, and even to the dog park with your approval! I have a smaller dog of my own who loves to play with other dogs!

“Charlene was even more amazing the second time around when we asked her to house sit last minute. She kept our dogs entertained, well taken care of and our house exactly how we left it- clean! 😁 she is so great with my large dog who has separation anxiety and sent me tons of photos and videos of him having a great time which made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be contacting her again for all of my house/dog sitting needs while we’re away.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bascom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bascom on Rover is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 180 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bascom. 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 Bascom 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 Bascom 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bascom 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bascom. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
