Sally responded to my requested quickly and with consideration because she needed to confirm a possible conflict, which I appreciated. She was obviously completely comfortable meeting my big dogs, and immediately had a good rappotr with them. She listened attentively to all of my instructions and I felt completely confident leaving my guys in her care for the day. All was well upon my return, and she did all I asked. My boys were happy. Sally is very personable and has good humor. I definitely recommend her to you to spend time with your dogs. I will certainly call on her again!

Camille was so professional, communicative and responsive to our dogs needs! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of our dog while we were out of town and missed him! He fell in love with her the second he met her, as she is really great with animals and reading their behavior and personalities. I would absolutely recommend Camille for all of your pets needs!

About: Hello there! My name is Mia, a passionate pet lover and stay-at-home dog mom with a love for art. I am currently taking a step back from the nonprofit sector to focus on my art and health journeys. With the flexibility to be home, I would love to support fellow pet parents by providing attentive, reliable care—especially for senior and special needs dogs who deserve a little extra love and patience. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my days around walks, feedings, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent, attentive care. At this point in my life, I am intentionally focusing on what brings me joy—animals, especially dogs. I am currently taking a step back from fast-paced, high-pressure nonprofit work to explore my art and health journey, and that naturally includes spending more time with four-legged friends. This flexibility allows me to be fully present, maintain each pet’s routine, and provide the level of care, attention, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I know how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust—especially when caring for senior or special needs pets—and how that can make even a short trip feel stressful. I specialize in caring for elderly, chronically ill, and special needs pets, while also welcoming young pups. I have experience with large breeds, including growing up with Labrador Retriever, and I am confident handling detailed care routines. I am experienced in administering medications such as insulin injections, eye drops, syringe feeding, and oral medications, and I always follow feeding, potty, and care schedules closely to keep your pet comfortable and safe. In-home care is often a more gentle and less stressful alternative to vet boarding, allowing your pet to stay relaxed in a familiar environment. I focus on maintaining healthy routines with walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and high-quality treats, while always respecting any dietary needs or restrictions you provide. I also offer transportation, overnight or daytime care, late-night walks, and last-minute or emergency visits when needed. I am happy to meet you and your pet beforehand so we can build trust and ensure the best care possible.

Amanda was such a great help during our latest trip. We have a senior dog and she really took good care of him. Unfortunately he had to go to the emergency vet two times late at night and Amanda never questioned taking him. She stayed with him for multiple hours at the vet and was such a great help. Thanks!

About: I’ve taken care of big dogs and cats. I find it easy to connect and bond with animals. Me and my partner have a cat that stays at his place. Since I’m self-employed, I’m pretty much free any weekday at any time to take care of your furry friends! This includes morning, afternoon and nights. I would prefer to not care for pets in my home unless it’s a cat or small dog as my space wouldn’t be ideal for bigger dogs

About: As a wholistic Eastern Medicine clinical practitioner, I bring a compassionate, customized care and practical approach to petcare.  Just like no two humans are alike (not even twins!), no two pets are alike. Keen attention is given to specialized diet and lifestyle needs of each pet for their highest optimal daily living. As a holistic Eastern Medicine clinical practitioner, specializing in birthwork and infant care, I bring an exceptional level of compassion, observation, and customized care to your fur babies and my pet-sitting practice. In my professional work, I understand that true wellness comes from honoring the unique constitution of the individual—and the exact same is true for our pets. No two animals are alike, and a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't work. My clinical background gives me a distinct advantage in managing the specialized lifestyle needs of your pet for their highest optimal daily living. I am uniquely suited for: - Precise Dietary & Supplement Routines: If your pet is on a complex raw food diet, strict allergen-free regimen, or requires a precise schedule of vitamins and herbs, I administer their nutrition needs as directed by your and your pet’s veterinarian protocols with professional accuracy. - Senior & Special Needs Care: My training makes me highly attuned to comfort, joint mobility, and gentle pacing. I provide a patient, supportive environment for aging pets and am meticulous about timely medication administration. - Anxious or Sensitive Animals: I understand how a change in environment can disrupt an animal's natural balance. I bring a grounded, calm presence that helps soothe separation anxiety and keeps sensitive pets feeling safe and secure. By closely observing your pet's unique baseline of energy, appetite, and behavior, I can quickly note any subtle shifts and ensure they remain truly thriving and happy while you are away." When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their absolute comfort, safety, and regular routine. Animals thrive on consistency, so I stick strictly to your established feeding, potty, and playtime schedules to keep their, mine, and your stress levels low while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect. I follow all house rules perfectly, ensure windows and doors are securely locked whenever I leave, and keep a close eye out for potential hazards like open trash bins or counter items. Because peace of mind is everything when you are away, you can expect consistent, thoughtful communication from me, including photo updates and quick recaps after every visit, so you always know your family member and your home are safe and sound. I ensure your home is left exactly as you left it—clean, organized, and secure.

John did an amazing job taking care of our two labs for eight days! He treated our girls like his own. He was excellent with her multiple medical issues, including, my girls, diabetes, which requires injectable insulin twice a day. He sent us constant updates multiple times a day, which included photos and video! He was so respectful of staying in our home and left it clean and tidy after his visit. I highly recommend him- he gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our family dream vacation!

Marisa R. was spectacular! We recommend Marisa to any family looking for someone to watch their pet and/or house. She met with us prior to watching our dog to find out all about him. When it came time to watch him, she followed his routine as described and sent us photos of all of the fun they had together. We felt so grateful to Marisa knowing that our dog was so well cared for while we were away. Thank you, Marisa!

About: I've taken care of dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. I myself have a seven year old bichon who I take care of. I can take your fur babies on walks, a personal pet picnic, or even take them to a pet park so they can socialize with other pets. I am currently a full time teacher. So I am available after 2:30 and full time on weekends. To schedule care time, please give me two weeks notice. Thank you! I can take care of your dog in your own home. Of course, safety comes first, please leave me notes so that I will be aware of it.

About: I'm an incredibly active individual. I love to lift weights, practice martial arts, hike, and go on runs. This allows me to be an excellent fit for a dog whose energy levels are high. If you'd prefer for me to not just take your dog to the bathroom, but provide them a good amount of exercise as well, I'm a great fit! When I'm not taking care of dogs I work as a writer, director, and editor on films, social media videos, and commercials. If you've ever wanted any photos or videos of you and your four legged friend (or just them) I can provide high quality images/videos for you as well whether you want to just show off to your friends and family or just to have status updates on how your dog is doing. Because I work freelance my schedule tends to be flexible and allows me to set my own hours usually. I will work with you as best as I can to fit your needs within my schedule. I treat dogs very similarly to how I treat people. I show them a great deal of respect, empathy, and love. I do tend to spoil my own dog here and there, but I also try to love him as unconditionally as he does to me. A golden rule I try to follow is treat others the way you want to be treated. Another golden rule I try to follow is to see myself in others. I also apply these two golden rules to my encounters with pets and nature in general.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bayside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Bayside on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 18,881 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bayside. 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 Bayside 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 Bayside 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 Bayside 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 Bayside. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
