“Lisa made our weekend trip stress free. She cared for our two pups and our home, and left everything better than she found it. Pups were happy and relaxed when we got home. Looking forward to having Lisa care for our dogs again!”
“Zakariea is incredibly easy to communicate with, reliable , and flexible to changes in plans if able. She happily took my active pup for walks and provided outdoor play and inside cuddles , no matter the weather. Went out of her way to get him special treats during my time away per my request/funding . And left a happy dog and clean house for me to return to :) I hope I get the chance to have her return soon!”

About: Hi, I have plenty of experience with my three grand-dogs. I am so good with them, my son suggested I sign up for Rover. The first dog is a border collie / flat coat retriever mix. She has spent overnights, and days with me at my home. I visit her daly for a walk and fun. The other two are golden retrievers. They come most of the time as a pair, Again I have had them for overnights, day time sitting and walks. I also spend time feeding my neighbor's two dogs, mainly getting them to sit for a treat. I am currently retired. My schedule is very fluid and flexible. I spend a lot of time on house/yard projects and spending time with my two son's families. I try to get goingearly and get outside. I do not have a fenced yard, sorry. With all of the dogs in my neighborhood, I keep my canine visators leashed, If your pet is with me I will make sure we get outside for some exploring the smells in my neighborhood.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a baby, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand how important it is to give each pet patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and I’m available for pet care around my classes and work. I’m available afternoons, evenings, and weekends with advance notice. I’m also willing to do 4+ hours if needed just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine consistent, provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.
“Ella was fantastic when she watched our 2 dogs in our home. She was reliable, trustworthy, communicated with us about the stay & sent us pictures of the dogs. The dogs loved her & seemed very happy when we got home. I will definitely seek her out for future pet sitting jobs & recommend her to others.”
“It's always nerve-wracking to leave your home and your pets with someone new. But Kenzie did an awesome job. She communicated daily and sent pictures of our girls. Our pups were happy and healthy when we arrived back home. The house was in order, as we left it.”

I can do drop ins and walks before work from 6-7am, and after work 6-7pm. Weekends vary, summers are busy but I can make it work! Regarding my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have plenty of leashes and secured leads. We live on a slow dirt road. No pet, even mine, is ever outside unattended or unleashed.

Rylie was fantastic with our dog! This was our first time using her for pet sitting in our home and she did not disappoint. She sent multiple daily updates and pictures of our dog and kept our home spotless. We will definitely be using Rylie again in the future!
"Grace is an absolute dream of a sitter! She took amazing care of my two dogs, Kaden and Dior, for an overnight stay. She is incredibly professional, communicative, and respectful of house boundaries. When one of my dogs slipped her harness on a walk, Grace immediately adapted and walked them separately to ensure they stayed safe. She even went out of her way to wash their dog bed, clean up a small accident immediately, and offer to clean the floors. I came home to two relaxed, happy pups. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again!"

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 Bath 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 Bath 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 Bath 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.
