“Audrey was professional, caring, and communicative. She stayed with our two older dogs at our house and is a kind and tidy sitter. We would recommend her to everyone!”
“Karolina was a wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Hank, and kept him happy and comfortable while we were away. It was clear she really cared about him, and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. When we got home, everything was clean and just as we left it—she even tidied up before heading out. We will definitely be using Karolina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Thank you so much to Rene . We couldn't have done this without her. My husband and I have never left our 2 border collie girls. After zmeeting with Rene and the girls meeting her we both felt relaxed and comfortable leaving them in her care. We appreciated the updates and videos. The girls seemed happy and comfortable.”
“Jessica is a great sitter for my higher maintenance old dogs. She is good with communication, checking items and asking questions. On top of that, I think the kitchen was cleaner than before she arrived! Highly recommended.”
“Morgan is fantastic! She showed up on time and fell in love with my puppy from the minute she arrived. She sent pictures, played with her and kept her cuddled up and happy until we returned. She is great! I would highly suggest her!!”
“Both dogs took to Morgan from the start, even Thor, who is usually takes quite some to warm up to new people. Got updates while I was running errands and returned to happy puppies!”
“Very thankful Veronica was able to come back and stay with Kelowna again when we had a last minute trip pop up! Awesome communication, great pics of our pup and we always feel very good knowing Kelowna is in good hands with her when we have to be away.”
“Molly did a wonderful job with our two chihuahuas. We were in town for a wedding and she was very communicative and flexible. The dogs warmed up to her quickly due to her kind, calm presence. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have worked in Animal Shelters and know how to compassionately take care of pets with all manners of needs. I have also taken dog training courses at Colorado State University and have loved my own dog Bandit for 3 years. I am currently watching others furry family members full time and have open availability for all your needs! No matter you and your pets schedule I can be there. I am adaptable to care for pets in any home environment and can quickly figure out your equipment and routine to keep things as “normal” for your fur baby as possible.
“Katrina was great! She was super sweet to Oliver and left the house super clean! She was incredibly responsive and gave updates on Oliver while we were abroad! I would absolutely book Katrina again!! Thanks for being so kind to Ollie!!”
“Sabina did such a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our two big dogs! One of them has a couple of quirks and requires multiple long walks a day and Sabina was able to accommodate that. She was super communicative and sent us pictures of the doggies every day so we could feel at ease during our trip! Our dogs seem very happy, and our house was spotless coming back home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Sabina!”
“We were very fortunate to have Chene take care of our visiting “granddoggy” while we went away for a few days. Remy can be an anxious little dog, and Chene was very kind and conscientious about helping him feel loved and secure. She came over to meet him and learn all about him before we left so we all felt confident leaving Remy in her care. She also sent a photo or two each day which we really appreciated! Our house was clean and well taken care of as well. Thank you, Chene!”
“Amelia was amazing! She was very tentative to Poppy and accommodating to our needs. She took great care in seeing that poppy was well cared for. I highly recommend Amelia for caring for your pet!”
“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”
“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL!!! Annie is a shy dog, slow to warm up to new people. Elizabeth understood how to approach her to increase Annie's comfort level and they were soon best buds. Elizabeth sent us daily written updates, photos and videos to keep us appraised of how Annie's days were going, providing us reassurance and peace of mind during our absence. We would most heartily recommend Elizabeth to house and dog sit, and although we don't often travel without Annie, we are delighted to know we can call on her again if needed. She is a lovely person, wonderful with our dog, and respectful of our home.”
“Madison is great. She's super responsible, communicates the perfect amount, took great care of our home, and, most importantly, was an AMAZING petsitter for our pup. We're grateful and look forward to having Madison care for Sheila again!”
“Karlee was great!! She kept us informed of what was happening back at the house and everything was great when we arrived home, including all the toys picked up and in the toybox. 😊 My pups seemed to get along fine with her...after the initial barking session, which occurs with everyone. I will definitely book her again if she is available.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bay View on Rover is $65.88 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 845 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bay View. 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 Bay View 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 Bay View 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 Bay View 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bay View. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
