“Rory’s love for animals was obvious the moment he entered my home for his first meet and greet with me and Henry. Rory has a delightful personality. He is respectful annd kind, and has a fantastic sense of humor. He did a great job looking after Henry for a couple days while I was out of town. I look forward to hiring him again in the future, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible pet/housesitter.”
“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”
“Carolyn was fantastic! She loved on my dog so well and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Carolyn's care. She was prompt with the timing of her visit and was quick with her communication. She played with Jeans the whole weekend. And to top it off, we came home to a clean house and even clean sheets! I will definitely book with Carolyn again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
About: I grew up being around dogs my whole life. We typically had at least 2 and they have always been treated as family members. I lived with a cat in college and brought my own baby home shortly after. We have two cats at home, and I would love to spend even more time with animals!! I work full time and live in the same city. Depending on the weekend, I don’t typically have a lot going on and would love to be around animals more. I am pretty active so I would gladly take walks! We have two cats that are strictly indoor. They basically have free rein of the house. I understand that pets can be reserved around unknown people, so I am willing to build that trust and just hang out if needed.
“Natasha was the BEST! The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. Brushed and clean and fluffy. The house was immaculate and smelled clean! A great way to come home!!!”
“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 🥰”
“Ashton kept us informed daily with texts and pictures of our dogs as well as giving our dogs the comfort of staying in their own home. It truly was a great experience for our dogs and just knowing that they were well cared for. Will be using this service again!!! A+++”
“Briana was amazing with our two very high maintenance dogs even with some big last minute changes to their plans and care. Both of my dogs warmed up to her quickly and she took wonderful care of them. Absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 14 years old. I love taking cares of other peoples animals and truly enjoy every second. I have a flexible full time job and I am looking for occasional jobs to spend time with some pets and make a little extra cash! I carefully follow the owners instructions always to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the care I am providing. I will also ask any questions to make sure of this.
“Kaitlin was amazing and I felt so comfortable leaving my pups in her care. She communicated regularly and sent tons of pics (from which I could tell how happy the dogs were) and I swear the house was cleaner than when we left. I will definitely be using Kaitlin again and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Michelle was fantastic with my pup, who has a few quirks and can be reactive on walks. She truly put my mind at ease and was patient, confident, and communicative the whole time. My pup clearly felt comfortable and happy with her - I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and capable sitter!”
“Christine is a great caregiver! My dog & cats were given excellent care. She stayed a week and kept in touch so I knew how they were all doing. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets because Christine was so good to them. She fed, walked, administered medication and even cleaned up after them.”
“Abi took great care of Molly while we were on vacation. She sent us photo updates and left our space nice and clean. I will definitely be seeking out Abi’s help next time we are in need!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have both dogs and cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I have previous experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient and attentive and understand that every pet is different—some love lots of activity and attention, while others prefer a calm and quiet environment. I’m happy caring for pets of all temperaments and will make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re gone. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan my day around pet care. I’m able to take breaks for walks, check-ins, feeding, and playtime throughout the day. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding pet visits or walks fits naturally into my routine. I currently only offer care in my client’s home. I try to keep pets on the same routine they’re used to when their owners are there, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow any instructions to make sure your pet gets the care they’re used to.
“We are very grateful Celia was able to watch our pup in our home on short notice while we were out of town. Our pup looked so happy in the photos, and it was obvious she enjoyed her walks with Celia. We’d happily recommend her and book again in the future!”
“Katy is the best dog sitter out there! She truly loves animals and can meet the demands of Covid puppies that are used to someone always being home. I have enjoyed yet another vacation without any worry because Katy always provides the best service, plus provides the sweetest daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of family/friends/other people’s pets since I was 13. I can feed, let out, walk, and provide enrichment/care for animals. I also have experience with administering medication to animals as well. I am a full-time student currently in my fall semester of college. I am available weekdays for the most part, as I can fit in pet sitting with my school schedule. I will care for your pets as if they were my own (I love my dogs)! I want to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care, while also respecting your rules, such as keeping fence gates shut or crating pets when I am not there.
“Charlotte took great care of our elderly cats. She provided daily updates and pictures so we knew they were doing well and were very comfortable with her. Nice to come home to happy cats! Thank you!!”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bayport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,042 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 , 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 .
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.
