“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!”
“Paige was great! We came home to a very happy kitty, and she was excellent about communication and sending photos/updates throughout the week. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brandon was communicative and knowledgeable about dogs needs. I appreciate him taking the time before his stay so he could meet Mabel and get to know her! He took her on lots of walks and she got lots of love while we were gone.”
“Michelle was awesome, super flexible with some schedule changes and was very attentive to my dogs individual needs. They loved spending time with her. I would for sure use her again when the time arises.”
“Natasha was wonderful! This is the first time we left our dogs overnight with someone else (pandemic life), and greyhounds can be extra quirky, so we weren’t sure how it would go. I am so relieved Natasha loved them, and our dogs loved her! Natasha was super responsive and left our house in perfect condition (it was also our first time having a house sitter). I felt so relaxed knowing my pups were comfortable at home with lots of attention. I would absolutely contact Natasha again in the future!”
“Leann was wonderful! She took great care of our 4 dogs for a week. This was our first time using Rover and it went perfectly. All our dogs were well taken care of, as well as, our home. Couldn’t be happier, would absolutely recommend Leann!”
About: My family dog passed away in 2024, since then I’ve filled my doggy-shaped hole by volunteering at Coco’s Heart (dog rescue) and house/dog sitting for families in my area. I work from home, so I’m able to give your animals their much-deserved attention throughout the day! My experience ranges from young puppies just brought to rescue, teenage dogs, to senior dogs, all needing special attention in their own ways. I am punctual with medications, meals and bathroom breaks. I currently work from home, and while house sitting am able to provide around the clock care. For walks or part-time, my schedule may vary slightly. Maintaining and respecting my client’s home is of upmost importance when caring for pets. Keeping not only their environment clean and safe, but the owners as well is important to what I offer. Whether it’s expected or not, I will leave the place the same, if not better than you left it. I strive for frequent communication and avoid outside environments that may stress pets out.
“Lisa is a repeat sitter for my dog, Phoebe. I recently got two kittens and this was their first stay with a sitter, and Lisa was flexible and willing to adjust to their life style. I love getting daily pictures and updates which is always done with a lovely message. I’d recommend Lisa!”
“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 🥰”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.
“Michelle took such great care of our dog and cat (and house!) while we were away. Our dog is particularly grumpy and Michelle was able to walk and feed him without issue. We were also updated often which helped us enjoy our vacation knowing they were doing well. The house was clean upon our return - would book again!”
“Kaitlin was awesome! Our two big dogs loved hanging out with her and we were grateful that she was available to watch them all week. It's really nice knowing that your pets are well taken care of. Kaitlin sent us daily updates with pictures and we came home to happy, excited boys. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Eliza was absolutely fantastic! She gave regular updates and stayed with our girl the whole time we were away. Her communication is exceptional and we really appreciated her coming on short notice, and doing such a wonderful job. :)”
“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: Growing up with multiple dogs in the home, I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, dog dynamics, sizes, behavioral needs, and medical cases. I have been trusted by my neighbors and friends to care for their furry family members for over 10 years now, with 2 years of experience in a dog daycare setting. I will take care of your pups like they are my family. I work full time at the Animal Humane Society, with most afternoons and weekends off, and a lunch break that can be used to check in on your furry family. I have a car, and am also equipped with the basic care needs, aside from a crate. I clean up after any messes and make sure your family has everything needed before leaving.
“Bailey was great! Very thorough communication and quick responses to all my questions. She sent plenty of pictures over the weekend and cleaned up the house before she left. We will definitely book with her again!”

Rory exceeded every expectation I could have had while cat sitting. I am an over-protective cat mom and didn’t worry, not even once about my babies. He went above and beyond- I couldn’t have asked for more or better. I absolutely, 100% recommend Rory- u will not be disappointed.
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

FAQs for House Sitting - Bayport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,050 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bayport. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
