About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own at home. My grandma breeds dogs, so I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also pet sat for many families throughout high school and cared for different breeds and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own. As a college student, I’m looking for a fun and reliable way to spend time with dogs while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I am currently just a full time college student so I have plenty of time to care and spend time with pets. I often only have classes 2 times a week so my other days are perfect for spending time caring for your pets needs! I have 3 pets at home that I feed, walk, and play with, so I am very used to spending lots of times with dogs!
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our 12-year-old dog. She actually house that for us and we could tell our dog was very happy and comfortable when we got home. She was very clean and tidy around our house, sent us updates with pictures every day and replied to any text that we had very timely. We appreciated her, taking care of our fur baby and our home. We will definitely book her again! Highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager. From 20 year old chihuahuas, nursing day old kittens, and 80lb king German shepherds.. I’ve volunteered at a few animal shelters. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. My work schedule is 7-4, Monday- Friday and have evenings and weekends free. Over the weekends I am available all day and evening. For week days I can visit your furry baby any time after 4! I have a big fenced in yard and have two loving and playful dogs that enjoy making friends. I have 2 cats that are incredibly friendly but also leave my dogs alone. I have crates available and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for dog walking.
“Roneisha is a kind and gentle soul that India, my standard poodle absolutely loved. She house sat for me while I was out for 5 days. My home was clean and well kept and India was happy. I would highly recommend Roneisha to anyone looking for a responsible and caring person for your pet and home.”
“Nova is consistent, tidy, and most importantly, a responsible and caring sitter for our very social cat. We received regular updates and photos and felt so relieved she was taking care of him during our trip.”
About: I love taking care of dogs and playing with them. I grew up having a dog and now currently own one as well. We often dogsit for parents when they go on trips. I am a teacher in Clear Creek ISD. During the school year, I'm available on weekends and holidays. During the summer, I am available everyday! I will treat the pets like my own. I will feed them, take them on walks, and play with them. I will make sure they feel loved and cared for.
About: I can take care of multiple pets from all sizes and ages! I will try my best to give them the best experiences and love! I am available all day, but I do have a night-shift job from 6:00pm to 12am. Regardless, it does not stop me in trying to get the opportunities to help those in such necessities! Puppy owners, I have kennels! I have three loving dogs that are friendly towards each other in all ages and sizes! I own medium size home with a good sizeable yard.
About: I’ve have 10 years experience with dogs all sizes and temperaments so if you have just the loving dog who loves everyone or may be a little scared or shy with strangers I am your guy! I am currently working part time, so most days I’ll be available all day. Late nights or early morning and everything in between I will be there. I try my best to make the dog at home as much as possible. Stick with the same morning routine, feeding, walks! Same throughout the day as well!
About: I’ve been raising animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I’ve had experience with a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs, so I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is open and flexible, so I’m able to provide care whenever you need it, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute requests. I have one dog of my own and a spacious, treated, and securely fenced yard that provides a safe and comfortable environment for your pet to enjoy.
About: Need an extra dog mom? I'm your gal! With over 12 years of experience watching over others animals, I've done and seen almost all of it. (Though, there are some things that still surprise me every now and again!) Big or small, I've cared for them all! I do drop in visits, walking, baths, nail trims, and in home boarding for dogs 50lbs or less. Not that I don't love gentle giants, they just take up a lot of space! I also have two sisters who are vet techs so if I need them for any reason they are on stand by. Anyways, if you're in need of an extra hand during the day or an overnight stay, please reach out! I'm home all day every day so my schedule is pretty open. If I'm doing drop in visits I prefer going around noon but if I need too, i will make exceptions and go earlier or later depending on what my pet parents need. When doing overnight boarding I make sure everyone is fed, watered, and comfortable. For dogs, I make sure they have plenty of opportunities to go on walks and go potty. I have a fenced in yard where they can roam freely for outside time (supervised of course) When doing inhome visits, I pretty much implement the same care making sure to follow instructions left by the pet parents if applicable.
“Katie was very awesome and so professional. Gave me regular updates and kept my nerves calm (as it was my first time with Rover). Will definitely be using her again!”
“Sharla was absolutely wonderful watching the pets! She made sure they were happy, kept me updated with photos, if she spotted an issue she was quick to bring it up, and she went above and beyond. She’s great!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for pets comes naturally to me! I’m patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind! I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available for evening visits/walks after work and have much more flexibility on weekends! I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with different schedules whenever possible. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for pets comes naturally to me! My roommate and I share a Maltipoo named Lyric, so I’m very used to different personalities from calm senior dogs to more playful energy. I also have a poodle back at home who is basically my daughter, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet with real care, patience, and love. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away and treat them like part of the family.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending my time with them. As a pet owner myself, I’ve navigated multiple health challenges with my senior dog, which has made me especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or needs a slower pace and extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. A few things that make my home and care style a great fit. * Comfortable administering medications * Attentive to signs of illness or distress * Reliable transportation * Flexible schedule with plenty of availability * Single-story home that’s easy for pets with mobility limitations * No children in the home * Regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind I currently have an open schedule to accommodate your loved one! No distractions besides caring for my own dog and cat. I can come over multiple times a day for walks, potty breaks, and quality/play time, or do overnights. I have a fenced backyard and a one story home easy to navigate. I have one senior dog who has never met a dog/cat/human he didn’t like, and a cat who is dog friendly and largely keeps to herself. Animals are allowed on the furniture! Safe gated community to walk your pup in if requested. No other adult/child in home. I can also watch at your home. I only ask that my pug can also come. He is crate trained, potty trained, and a very good boy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bayview
Emma was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, thorough, and communicative the entire time. Our dog Banjo loved her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. We booked Emma to stay in our home while my fiancé and I got married, and she made our entire wedding weekend stress free when it came to our sweet boy. She took amazing care of him and kept us updated, which meant everything to us. We will definitely be booking Emma again for any future trips. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾
I absolutely loved my experience with Sarah, she was so patient and good with my nutty, picky gremlin puppy! I never worried about my pup, she always updated with pics and notes about how the day went. When her stay was over she left my apartment cleaner than when she got here, I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter.
Ella was absolutely fantastic with our boys! She came last minute for us and was very responsive and respectful of our home! We came home to mopped floors and a picked up house which was a blessing after a long trip. She was reassuring as our puppy is going through a bit of a behavioral regression right now and she was very supportive! We will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bayview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bayview on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,705 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bayview. 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 Bayview 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 Bayview 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 Bayview 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.
