“Alison is awesome!!! She just did an overnight with our Sherman, who was not feeling well, and went above and beyond to take care of him. I would highly recommend her.”
“Susan was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly and kind to our dog, Josie, and treated her with great care. Susan was also extremely flexible with scheduling, which made everything so easy for us. We felt completely comfortable leaving Josie in her hands and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Kasey did a fabulous job taking care of my pets. This was my first time using Rover and she went above and beyond my expectation. She sent daily pictures of my animals and updated me on how things were going! I came home to a spotless house and all of my animals resting & relaxing! I will definitely use Kasey again in the future! Highly recommend!!”
“Cammie was amazing. She came to meet my pup in advance and took great care of her. Normally Tilly is stressed when I leave but she was completely at ease when I got back and my apartment was probably tidier when I got back than when I left! Recommend Cammie 100%.”
“Michelle was phenomenal. She was with our Australian Labradoodle in our home for four days. She made a home visit in advance, was regular updates and photos, and followed our routines. Great experience!”
About: Hi! I'm Zoe, and I've been around animals my entire life. I've always had at least one dog growing up, and I shared 17 wonderful years with my cat, Love, before saying goodbye this past fall. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers, Finley and Sadie, who I've helped train from puppies. They have a strong foundation in obedience and can even walk off leash, which taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also pet sat for friends and family, providing feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while they're away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're gone. I also know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, so I'll send regular photo updates and messages so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or relaxing at home, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I'm available any day of the week and can easily fit walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and cuddle time into my day. I'll make sure your pet gets lots of love, care, and companionship while you're away! I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or any other special care your pet needs. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment while you're away. I'll also keep your home clean and secure and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Growing up I have always lived helping others and even helping animals. As a young kid, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Although my college plan is to become a special education teacher, I have always had a passion for animals. I really enjoy giving animals a voice and creating special bonds with them. Over the years my family has rescued over 8 animals including dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting for 3 years now for family friends and I am willing to do it for anyone in need. Animals have always left an impact on my life and I hope I do the same to them. I am not doing this for the money but to help many animals in need, as well as their owners. I really hope I am able to give endless love to you pet or pets. Thank you.
“Christine went over and above. She took such great care of my babies (dog Nina and cats Percy & Nixxi) and my house, leaving it better than she found it. I highly recommend her!”
“We love having Jenna watch Chibs and Opie. She always sends updates and photos. And they both always seem so happy with her every time she stays. She also takes very good care of our home and keeps its very tidy. Thanks Jenna!”
“Ken was great. He took great care of our dog and fish. He sent pics of our dog which gave us peace of mind while away. He even washed sheets and vacuumed. That’s awesome! Will definitely hire again and highly recommend Ken for watching your pets!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and started pet sitting back in high school. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and taking care of them just feels natural to me. In college, I also lived with cats, so I’m comfortable around both. I really treat every dog I watch like they’re my own — whether that means playtime, walks, or just some good cuddle time. I’m reliable, responsible, and always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am currently working part-time so I can help out with your furry friends and give them my full attention and all the love and care they deserve! "I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or yours. The services I provide are always tailored to fit your pet’s specific needs — whether that’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention. I’m happy to adjust my care depending on what your furry friend needs to feel safe, happy, and comfortable!"
“Another great visit. Jacqueline is always communicative and available, which gives me so much peace. We looked forward for next weeks sitting as well.”
“We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.”
“Mariah did a fabulous job with our two fur babies. We came back from vacation to find them happy, healthy and well cared for. She sent plenty of photos. Definitely recommend. She was caring for them in our home and left the house spotless.”

Kasey House set for Zoe, my 7 pound Yorkie, for a week. Zoe loves her. Kasey kept me up-to-date every day and sent me pictures , which I loved. Zoe takes allergy meds and. kasey made sure she got them every day. When I got home, my house was spotless just like I left it. she is a phenomenal Dog Sitter.
Jennifer is absolutely phenomenal. She is a natural caretaker and all around great person. She is reliable, professional, kind, caring, accommodating and trustworthy to say the least. She has consistently provided exceptional care to our 17 and 14 year old pups frequently for 10-12 hour days. She has a sunny personality and lights up the room. We are grateful to have found her and to know our babies are in great hands when we can’t be home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 279 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bayard. 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 Bayard 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 Bayard 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 Bayard 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.

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.
