“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
“We are SO glad we found Tyler… couldn’t be happier! He stayed with our sometimes over reactive dog for a week and it went well . Tyler is very attentive and kind. Sent updates and could easily be reached. Kept house clean and neat. Was great before our trip coming over to let our dog get used to him. So appreciated… will definitely use him again! Feel like we can go away and our dog is in caring hands. Thanks Tyler!!”
“Zania is a treasure. For anyone looking for a responsible, respectful and caring dogwalker for the Lancaster County area, Zania is wonderful. I have a young active terrier and a very Senior, deaf and partialy blind terrier. She was very careful with both. Followed my care instructions and asked appropriate questions to determine how to best meet their needs. She fed them, gave potty breaks and gave my Senior dog her medications with no issues. The dogs loved her.”
“Mia is a very sweet, reliable young lady. We were pleased with her care of our two dogs and our house. Good communication and she followed all of our directions. We would recommend her.”

“Caitlyn did an amazing job with our 3 doodles for an overnight weekend stay in our home. She did a great job with giving their medicine and loving on them. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Lexie was such an amazing sitter! She took care of my pup for a week while I was out of the country. She was very communicative and took great care of my Remi. She sent me daily updates (often times 2x) and made sure that my high-energy guy was active (and tired) and well cared for. She also helped me out at the last minute, picking up a package for me. I felt so at ease having Lexie as our dog sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Hilary took great care of our two cats while we were away for 10 days. She sent photos and notes twice a day. I am able o travel knowing my pets are well- cared for.”
“Tyler stayed with our two high-needs Boston terriers for a week. Not only did he take incredible care of the pups, he left our place completely immaculate, even taking care of laundry and sweeping up. He is so above and beyond, and we felt very comfortable during our trip thanks to his frequent updates and thorough care. Thanks so, so much for being so great to our wild pups!”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bausman
Madsion was great! We have two cats and a senior dog. Our dog, because he is older and takes meds, leaves us a little anxious when we leave him. From the time Madison came over to meet our pets we could tell she was a great fit. She bonded with the dog right away. We went away for our wedding and she made this trip so much better knowing our animals were in good hands. She gave us constant updates and sent pics everyday. She was so good with all the animals and would recommend her over and over again. I will definitely use her again. If I could give her 10 stars I would.
Kelsey was amazing!! From our meet & greet with her and Willow. She is so kind, paid attention to details and made us feel comfortable having her take care of her while we were celebrating our son getting married!! I would definitely book with her again and would recommend her for you in the future 💕
Linette was awesome! Our cat, Naamah, often hides when company comes. Linette was able to win over her friendship, and they hung out a lot! She took great care of the house. She communicated with us while away and sent pics/videos. She is very professional. I highly recommend her! Steve
Chris is absolutely the best! I never have to worry when he is taking care of my dog and my home. He is reliable, trustworthy, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. My dog loves him, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Emily is a fantastic sitter. She took great care of our dog while we were away. And he can be a hand full. The house was left perfectly and she brought our mail in for us when I forgot to put it on hold. Very much appreciate her professionalism. ! Beni loves her too which is a huge plus ! He hopes she will come back again soon to stay with him. ! Thanks again Emily!
Katie was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was warm, personable, communicative, and incredibly kind. She took the time to set up a meet and greet, came prepared, and was so patient in letting Shep warm up to her at his own pace. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated throughout her stay, was flexible, thoughtful, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trusted her completely, even though we had just met, which says a lot. I couldn’t recommend Katie more highly and will absolutely be booking with 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 Bausman 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 Bausman 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 Bausman 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.

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.
