About: I am a 30 year old female who loves all animals. I have grown up with animals all my life and have owned many of my own pets. I very much like spending time walking around or just sitting and gaming and cuddling with my pets. I am able to train puppies as i have owned a 3 time grand champion vizsla, though I am no professional I was just taught so i could show my dog. I enjoy spending time in the woods and or in the ocean just being about in the beauty of nature. I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs
“Jennifer was excellent! She sent kept in touch and sent pictures throughout the stay. We have three dogs and they can be handful but she wrangled them without issue. Will definitely book her again.”
“Stephen is awesome! He was able to accommodate us even though it was very short notice. We have 2 dogs, a small Maltese and a big Weimaraner. The big one can be imposing when you walk through the door and she barks at you with her hair standing on its ends, but Stephen immediately sat in the floor and let her get it all out of her system without a flinch. He knows how to put the pups at ease! My wife works from home and the dogs are used to someone always being there, Stephen is the first sitter we’ve had (and we’ve tried out several) that showed up with a suitcase! We knew immediately that this guy was what we have been searching for, someone that would basically live in our home while we were away with the sole purpose of watching over our furbabies. And he did his job impeccably! He sent lots of pics and video without us having to ask and was always prompt with a response if we ever needed him. When we returned home the house was still tidy and in order and I’m pretty sure the dogs looked past us trying to figure out where Stephen was, LOL. If you need a drop in visit or someone to come by and walk your dogs this guy can do it all and I promise your pets will look forward to him returning, and if you need someone that will basically live in your home with your furry loved ones while on vacation then look no further you have found the pinnacle of dog sitting! We will definitely use Stephen for any dog sitting needs we have in the future.”
“Kattie was incredible! We had a last minute family emergency and she came to help. My dogs have absolutely loved her. I have several special needs dogs with meds needed. She was comfortable and great with administering them. We got daily pictures which helped out our minds at ease. If you need a great person that goes above and beyond for your pups this is your lady. Thanks again Kattie.”
About: I cared for dogs for 5 years as a dog groomer, and as a sitter for family and friends! At the salon, I was trusted to bathe, dry, walk, clean up after, and trim the nails of the dogs under my care! When I care for the pets of my friends and family, feeding, play time, and walks are my primary responsibility! I always make sure to keep the pet parents up to date on their dogs! I am currently self employed, so I will have plenty of time to play, feed, walk, and bathe your puppy dogs! Unfortunately, I am currently unavailable for boarding. I make sure pets get good exercise from walks or play, are well fed, and spend plenty of quality time with them! If a pet has health issues, I will make sure their issues are properly managed.
“This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a pet sitter for my senior cat, so I was very nervous about having a stranger in my home and how my fur baby would react. However, Jennifer eased my mind about the whole process. She was understanding and communicative, which was greatly appreciated. This was just an an overnight trip, but she will be taking care of him again soon when I'll be gone longer. It's such a relief to know I can get some R&R knowing that my pet and my home are in good hands. ?”
About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for about 5 years now. From dogs to cats and hamsters. I’ve always been the designated pet sitter for my neighbors and family! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am available any days of the week, and can work around any time you prefer! Pets will all have a clean and calm environment as I have no pets at my house and just one baby. They will take frequent potty breaks and walks. Food and water will always be out and available to them. I will provide updates and pictures throughout the day!
“Hope was a wonderful sitter for my Westie. She stayed overnite for one nite. She was prompt, sent me a picture when she arrived, walked her and fed her. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life as well as birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish. I am happy to prepare fresh or specialty foods as needed. Seniors and special needs pets as well. I'm not squeamish. Health care and Military background. This is my primary source of income. I adore pets and look forward to meeting with my clients and their humans daily. Fur feathers or fins, I love them all. Safety and security is always number one! I want to be sure you come home to a happy health pet in a secure home. Your pet will be provided with the supplied food, ample water and given time to exercise. They will be given as much attention and love as they would like and they will be returned safely in the designated area. Your pets and your home are always respected.
“Mary was absolutely wonderful. We have not both left our cat and dog for an extended time and were able to have a wonderful vacation. Mary took excellent care of our nervous dog lay and watching movies with her. We received tons of updates and pictures to know our pets were comfortable. We will absolutely be using Mary in the future.”
“Maria took excellent care of my babies and house. She provided daily updates with pictures. My house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for future visits.”
“Ren W did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 furbabies. She kept us updated daily and took care of our home while we were out of town. We could enjoy our time away without worrying. 5+++ stars!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Basham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Basham on Rover is $46.07 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 323 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Basham. 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 Basham 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 Basham 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 Basham 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.
