About: I am a Biological Science major currently looking for work! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was child including bigger and smaller breeds of dogs, and a variety in ages/temperament of cats. I also have a good amount of knowledge in caring for fish, reptiles, rodents, and birds. (Not an expert, just well read!) I have also been employed previously as a Senior Caregiver under Senior Helpers Lexington, so I know caring for your fur baby will be a walk in the park (pun intended)! So weekly, I do volunteer at my local high school marching band as a percussion tech, (Go Mustangs!), so afternoons, other than Wednesday, are a no go. I am willing to do overnights (except Friday and Saturday nights) starting at 8:30 pm! Anytime during the weekday between the times of 10 am-3:30 pm are available to me! If there’s an emergency, as long as communicated and I am able, I can be more flexible with these exceptions in my schedule. My own home is not available as of right now, but at a clients home, whatever is asked of me will be completed to highest level of care and consideration. Anything I am unsure about will be communicated as promptly as possible. My main goal for caring for your loved one is that they are safe, happy, and nourishingly enriched ie taking for long walks, eating on their schedule, and giving medication if needed.
“Heather was so communicative and I felt like she was fully capable when I met her before she pet sat for us- she took every bit of information for our crazy mini hobby farm and did amazing! Would love to hire her back anytime we have a trip!”
“This is the second time Toni has watched Zelda and housesat and I couldn't be more pleased! She sent plenty of updates and treated Zelda like her own dog. I know Zelda will be excited for the next time we book Toni!”
“Jennifer is an excellent care provider. She is professional, punctual, responsible and trustworthy. My dog Josie immediately loved her. Would highly recommend Jennifer for dog sitting/housesitting.”
“Amanda was great, she to take care of the puppies but my house as well. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out anytime I need Otter and Bella taken care of.”
“Hannah was awesome! She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. Nala warmed up to her super quick! She stayed over night and took took good care of dog and house. Would have her watch our dog again.”
“Karly was awesome! She took care of my two big fur babies. Catering to them as I would! She even took one to the emergency vet and spent hours waiting to be seen due to it being the weekend. She took care of the pups as well as my house. I will definitely call on her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Crissy. I’m a local Sheriff’s Deputy and Nurse with some veterinary care experience, so caring for others—two-legged and four-legged—comes naturally to me. I don’t have any little ones of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and some extra time to share with yours. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there, whether that means frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. When your little one is with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own basked in love, spoiled with attention, and cared for with patience and kindness. Whether you’re working a long shift, away for the day, or simply need an extra helping hand, I’d be honored to be someone you can trust with a member of your family. I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s) soon! 🐾 My schedule allows me to build pet care naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether you need care while you’re working, away for the day, or out of town, I’ll make sure your little one gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In your home, I will respect both your pet’s routine and your space, following all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions as closely as possible. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything that may indicate your pet is uncomfortable or needs extra attention. My background as a Sheriff’s Deputy, EMT-I, and my veterinary care experience have taught me to stay calm, observant, dependable, and prepared when something unexpected happens. I also take the security of your home seriously. Doors, gates, leashes, and any special safety instructions will always be double-checked. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your little one is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, a quiet companion, or simply someone to keep their normal routine intact, I’ll meet them where they are and care for them with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
“Ashley was wonderful with Baloo! She followed all the rules carefully and kept me updated. Baloo was happy, calm, and perfectly fine when I got home. She was professional, kind, and clearly cared for him. My home was clean and today when I returned. I’d definitely recommend her and book again! She gave me peace of mind while away!”
“Rachel was great! She was wonderful with all our babies - 2 dogs and 3 cats. I felt confident having her house sit and taking care of everything. Next time I will definitely try to book her again. Getting multiple pictures every day really made us feel good.”
“Kiera was amazing and our dogs loved her! She was responsive, gave plenty of updates, and took wonderful care of our house while we were gone. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful. She communicated with me frequently and sent several photos of our pups and she was very detailed in every update. I would definitely recommend and use her again!”
About: I have taken care of my fair share of animals over the past decade: cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, you name it! I myself have 3 cats and understand their body language, needs, and quirks. I also have an iron stomach and nothing pet-wise can phase me. I also have a firm belief in keeping pet owners up to date with photos and texts after every visit. I work a very consistent 9:30-6:30 job with a guaranteed 1 hour break every day. This means I can make consistent visits between 8-9am, 12-1p, and 6:30-10pm each day. Weekends are *usually* free for at least 2 checks a day. My schedule rarely changes and that lets me plan for consistency! With 3 cats, I have long-since memorized what plants and foods are toxic as well as feline CPR and how to recognize signs of distress and pain in cats. I myself aim for daily litter cleanings, consistent feedings, and plenty of active play and love for my cats and any others I'm entrusted with. I have nursed several kittens back to health and have fostered as well. As far as dogs grow- they're the animals I grew up with 4 chihuhuas, a Border Collie, and a variety of loveable mutts through my childhood. I also got my start as a pet sitter walking dogs and doing overnight stays at homes to keep anxious pups company.
“Our dog seemed happy and well cared for when we got home. During our trip ants were attracted to our dogs food. Patrick did well in communicating and handling the problem. He was also helpful when we had a problem with the app. He sent pictures updating us on how our dog was doing. Having Patrick stay at our house with our dog was much better than boarding him. Would use Patrick again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for multiple friends and family members, caring for their pets while they were away and making sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! As a medical student, I spend a lot of my weekends relaxing at home, studying, and enjoying time outdoors—so your pet will have plenty of company! Dogs can expect lots of walks, outdoor playtime, and attention throughout the day. For cats who prefer a cozier weekend, I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and cuddles (if they want them!) and would love to have them as my study buddy. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and exercise. I also have a friendly 8-month-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends and having a playmate! If your pet prefers their own space or needs time to decompress, I’m happy to keep them separated as needed. Inside my home, I have a separate guest bedroom where your pet can have a quiet, comfortable space of their own. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level to make their stay feel as safe and stress-free as possible.
“This was our second time booking with Meaghan. It was just as easy to set up as last time and made for a stress free vacation. She is very responsive and easy to work with. Our dogs have truly come to love Meaghan, and based on the pictures she sent, I’m not sure they even knew we were gone! Meaghan went above and beyond taking care of our pups this week, including bringing a bag of toys for them to play with, and making a pupsicle treat that even my picky husky enjoyed. She sent tons of updates and the cutest pictures, and she even mentioned an improvement in the anxiety levels of my dogs compared to her last visit. Our house was left spotless and our dogs were happy, healthy, and obviously loved on and spoiled while we were away. Highly recommend Meaghan to anyone needing a dog sitter, and will 100% continue to book with her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bath. 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 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.
<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 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 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.
