“Lisa was great and the pets were so happy! She sent tons of pictures and updates and I knew they were being well cared for which meant I could relax and enjoy my trip. Would definitely recommend Lisa and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Natasha is a gem! My pups and cat absolutely love her. She provides fun updates with pictures and left my home cleaner than I left it! Natasha is a sweet, kind and generous person. I’m truly grateful she is in our lives! 🙏❤️”
“Cari is great with my boyz - they settled in easily with her and she gave really nice updates while we were away. Very mature, responsive and responsible- the kind of person you want watching your fur- babies🥰”
“Paige was awesome and took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She communicated updates when needed and was always professional. We wouldn't hesitate in using Paige again when watching our home and dogs.”
“Isabella was very punctual and followed our instructions for our 2 foster cats. She left the house tidy and responded quickly to our messages. Even though everything went well we would have liked more daily updates. We should have communicated this ahead of time. I think we are on the same page now and would use Isabella again in the future.”
“Lacie was very sweet to my Scoot and gave him lots of love and snuggles when we needed someone to stay with him while he recovered from surgery. Scooty will miss her and if we need some help keeping him company in the future we will for sure reach out to her again.”
“Sergio did an amazing job. He dog sat/house sat for us. He was our very first dog sitter and we’re couldn’t have been more nervous about leaving the fur baby with someone! We did a meet and great as was recommended. He is SUCH a nice guy! When we returned home, it was so spotless that we couldn’t figure out where he slept. We will definitely rebook Sergio in the future.”
“Sadie stayed at my house for a week to care for my two dogs, and it went great! She spent a ton of time with them, sent lots of pics and updates, and was respectful of my house. Most importantly, I came home to two happy dogs! I will definitely check with Sadie next time I need a sitter.”
“Christine went above and beyond taking care of Callie and Cosie! She scheduled a meet and greet a couple days prior to us leaving for a long weekend. The sister bichons took to Christine immediately which is very unusual. They are high maintenance with some house training issues. Christine met their needs like a champ! When we got home the dogs were calm and happy. I told Christine she is the “dog whisperer”!”
“This is my first time utilizing Rover. I have tried in the past and many of the individuals did not have their calendars on Rover up to date. Abbey was quick to respond and we agreed to a meet and greet( super easy, no drama.(which I found with others I tried to book with on Rover) My pups were drawn to her right away, even my shy guy. She kept me up to date every day with photos, took them for walks and kept them company. I would highly recommend! After the first day. I didn’t think about the pups (too much) for I knew they were being well cared for. Came home, all was well. Thank you Abbey. Until our next trip.”
“Amber was an excellent caregiver to our pups. She was extremely detailed with her updates and followed through on our many to-do’s (as one of our dogs is on several medications). She is very trustworthy and competent. I felt very comfortable with her staying in our home - plus she was flexible during an unexpected power outage. Definitely would recommend!”
“Liv was amazing with our 2 dogs. Our house and pets were in great hands. We loved all of the cute pictures and updates during the week we were gone. We will for sure book Liv again.”
“This was our first time booking with Joel and he did an amazing job watching our senior lab dog and staying at our house. He also fed our bearded dragon for us which was appreciated! He was great at communicating and left everything so clean and spotless! We could tell our dog was well cared for 🥰”

Julie was phenomenal! She communicated and sent me adorable photos of our boys while we were away. Super low stress and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her care. I will absolutely be booking Julie again. She’s our new go to pet sitter. Highly recommend.
Check is does an awesome job! She has dog sat our two dogs twice. They absolutely love her and were so excited to see her when she came back a second time. She followed all our instructions carefully and was a delight to work with. Thank you Chris, from Stormy and Croix
Leslie was absolutely amazing with our two Boston Terriers, Gracie and Gus! From the very beginning, it was clear that she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She took the time to get to know both of them and made sure all their needs were met. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care — she kept us updated, and it was obvious that Gracie and Gus were happy, safe, and having the best time. They went on fun adventures and came home relaxed and content. It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing our pups were so well cared for and loved while we were away. We can’t thank Leslie enough and will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bayport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,034 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bayport. 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 Bayport 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 Bayport 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 Bayport 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.
