“I felt so comfortable being away while she watched our dogs. We don’t have the easiest situation, but she managed it so well. She sent daily pictures that I looked forward too, and our dogs looked so happy and well taken care of in all of them. Will definitely be using her in the future!!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Shalynn care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was extremely professional, reliable, and showed a genuine affection for our pets. Shalynn followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend [Pet Sitter's Name] to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Declan communicated and sent photos throughout his stay, and we felt comfortable that the pups were well cared for!”
About: I’ve spent a majority of my life around animals. Growing up, we had a variety in the house (dogs, cats, fish, squirrels). I’ve learned that being calm, loving, and patient is the key to dealing with any pet. Like people, pets have their own quirks and personalities that is an absolute joy to learn about! I currently assist my sister with her two boys. Now that they are both in school, my schedule is much more open. I help get them to school early in the morning, and help pick them up in the afternoon. I have no problem helping with specialty pet needs and care, whether that be crating, medications, or assisted devices. Your pets are in great hands :)
“Kelly was an exceptional sitter for our senior dog Jynx. He was a very happy camper when we got home so we knew he was well taken care of during his time with Kelly. She took care of our home like it was her own and I would highly recommend Kelly to sit for any dog owner who is going to be away. We would definitely have her watch Jynx again in the future..”
“Michelle cared for our two dogs at our home for the last 5 days/nights. We came home to happy dogs and a well cared for home. During our initial meet and greet, we immediately felt that we can trust Michelle with our dogs and our home and we were right. Michelle is a gem!!”
About: I have experience with all ages and temperaments of dogs and cats. I have cared for senior pets and enjoy making sure all of their needs are met. I am currently working part-time and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a car and can be where I am needed on short notice. I really enjoy getting to meet new cats and dogs and getting to know their personalities. I make sure all of their needs are met and treat them like I would my own pets.
“Haylee was great with Duke and Zoe. She was communicative and sent pictures and videos. Given that Zoe is older and has a few special needs, she managed our anxiety about leaving her very well. Her experience with large dogs and meds was super helpful and put us at ease.”
“Rebecca is amazing. She kept the house clean, was super responsive to my being a nervous cat mom going away for the 1st time. She sent lots of photos and updates and I am planning to book her again for a few other trips I have coming up. I highly recommend her!!!!!!”
About: I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I follow each dog's routine closely, including feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship, while giving them the patience and attention they deserve. I take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners through clear communication, dependability, and a genuine passion for animal care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care. I am able to accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, and any special care needs. Whether it's a daily visit or extended care while owners are away, I make pet care a priority and ensure each pet receives the attention, companionship, and reliability they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and any other care instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and attention while maintaining a safe and clean environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away.
“We are very happy to have had Kya stay with our little senior pug Mattie for the weekend. Communication was excellent & we appreciated the photos and reassurances that everything was going well. Will definitely contact Kya again when needed.”
“EXCELLENT! that’s the one word I’d use to recommend Mel! She is incredibly responsible and followed every instruction I gave her to the T. When my sick dog had an accident, she cleaned up immediately and administered her regular medications exactly as instructed. My fussy, pampered dogs were fed precisely the way I wanted, without compromise. Mel went above and beyond with endless kisses, hugs, and belly rubs, so much so that my dogs were reluctant to leave the true 5-star treatment they received. Our furry babies may not speak, but they always let us know when they’ve been genuinely loved and cared for in our absence. And yes, they definitely “told” me they want to be with Mel again! If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

I highly recommend her to anyone looking to find a responsible and loving person to take care of their family dog! She was responsive, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel comfortable while away from our puppy.”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love being around them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bassett
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,176 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bassett. 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 Bassett 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 Bassett 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 Bassett 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
