“Lindsay is fantastic! My dog and cat love her and she gives them all the love. She spent a week in my home caring for them and it was great knowing I did not have to worry about a thing. She provided frequent updates, photos, and asked questions about things I forgot to tell her. She is super sweet and kind!!!! She is definitely my number one pet/house sitter now. 😊”
“Clarisa was amazing! She was so sweet and took great care of our babies! She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. We didn’t have to worry about our babies because we knew she was taking great care of them!”
“Dom did such a great job with my crew...even when my cat brought in a surprise rabbit! All of my animals adored her and had a great time. Communication and response time was fantastic. Will definitely rehire for future sitting needs”
About: I've had animals ever since I was young, from cats to dogs. I frequently had to keep each fed during the day matching their schedule and take them out every 2 hours or so. I animal sit my neighbors' animals a few times every year for a week or more, attending to the schedule they lay out for me. I'm currently a full-time student at ECU and need a part-time job for my days after i attend classes. I am free MWF from 9am-1pm and all day after 2pm. On Tuesdays I am available after 5pm, Thursdays I am available all day after 2pm. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. My dog at home has a shock collar and she is allowed outside freely within a certain radius of the waypoint object. I let her out from 5mins-1hour depending on the weather. I follow her certain eating times by opening or closing her food bowl. She is given the attention and love she needs. She may run out of the radius of her shock and come but dirty so washing her with the correct materials is important for their hygiene.
About: When it comes to taking care of your pet, my aim is to provide them the same love and care they would receive from you. I have extensive pet care experience, caring for over 25 pets repeatedly over the past 10 years. My love for animals led me to pet sit and dog walk for close friends and family, and now I want to expand that care to the Greenville area! Working part time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work within you and your pets needs. I am currently applying to medical school as well so most of my responsibilities can be taken care of virtually, allowing me to maximize my time with your pet. In your home, I skillfully adapt to you and your pets environment. Without the stress of taking your pet to a new environment, I respectfully provide care that fits you and your pets needs!
About: Im a nursing student who would love to meet and care for your furry best friend! I am in the area and i don’t have class everyday so im pretty available! I have always had a dog in our house for about 7 years. I have babysat neighbors dogs and cats. I have had 4 dogs at a time before and we have adopted rescues. I have had young pups to senior animals. I have clincials on Monday from 6:30am-12:30pm and it’s about an hour away so i’ll be available around 2:30-3pm. Free on Tuesdays! I have classes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am-3pm. Always making sure they have water and feeding is on time/ the right amount. Checking the temperature for the animals' safety and their comfort. Gentle with senior animals so they have a sense of security while I am there. If not too hot, we would take walks, but also being cautious of their paws on hot pavement and overheating!
About: I have bathed, walked, fed, and watched many dogs. I’ve taken care of many different breeds and sizes. I’ve owned 4 dogs including a german shepherd and Boykin spaniels. I also have experience with puppies! I’m a college student currently so I would be able to care for pets before, between, and after classes. I am very reliable and I’m good at communicating! I make sure to maintain a safe and loving environment! I love animals so I will give them the best care! I am very dependable!
“Autumn took wonderful care of our two pups while we were gone for the weekend. She stayed in communication and provided updates through messages, and pictures. The best part is we were able to fully trust our dogs were taken care of which allowed us to relax on vacation. She left the apartment exactly how we left it. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I have been dog-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family throughout high school, and I always go out of my way to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe! I have experience staying in clients' homes, bringing pets to my house, and stopping by for visits or walks. I'm currently a full-time student, but I have lots of gaps between classes in the middle of the day, and all my nights are free. I also have multiple days with no classes, and my weekends are completely free. I make sure that your pets always have my full attention and care. While I'm with them, I make sure they get lots of attention and love. I make sure to play with them and let them out many times throughout a visit. I make sure that I carry out any other tasks exactly as you want me to. I always take time to update you throughout my care.
About: I’ve had a cat for as long as I can remember. I frequently watch my sister’s cats as needed while taking care of my own. I currently only work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets each week as needed for your schedule! I will be an attentive pet sitter for your pet and make sure all of their needs are taken care of and that they are enjoying themselves!
“I'm struggling with writing this review. I want to be fair while also giving an accurate review of how I felt this weekend when I was 5 hours away and worried. I really liked Anna when I met her, I think she is a good person, and my dog really likes her, so that is definitely positive. I've already talked to Anna about how communication could have been better when she was going to be significantly later than I expected starting out the weekend house/pet sitting due to her other job. I ended up calling another friend that night to come take care of Cassie because it was 11:30pm and I had no idea when Anna would arrive, even after texting her to ask and not getting a response. Anna was here house and pet sitting for the weekend, and it looked like she didn't spend much time with my dog. The doorbell camera gave me notifications when there was motion at the door, and it looked like she was gone most of the day only coming in for about 30 minutes in the afternoon and 30 min in the evening to let my dog out before coming back to stay at my house overnight. It might be my fault if I wasn't clear enough in my expectations, but my dog was left alone more this weekend than she ever has been, including weekends that she has been with other sitters.”
“Alexander and Allison are wonderful! Our original Rover booking canceled on us the day before our trip. We were left in a terrible situation, but Alexander and Allison graciously stepped in and did a wonderful job taking care of Eleanor. They always went above and beyond to give her the best week away from us.”
About: I provide dependable, attentive pet care with genuine compassion. I treat every pet like family, prioritize safety and comfort, and make sure owners feel confident and updated while away. I have walked/ stayed with many of my neighbors and family friends dogs all the time and have experience with taking care of their dogs as well as all 4 of my dogs I am free over the summer whenever anyone would need me for any type of care for their animals I am open too all types 7-days a week and open to however much time you want me too spend time with your pet/pets! In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, litter box or waste cleanup, and regular companionship. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for like they are my own.
About: Growing up with a mom who was a vet tech, we always went with her to take care and play with the animals boarding at her work, so ive always played and loved on animals since I can remember! I only go into class tuesdays and thursdays, so I have a lot of time to play and cuddle with your pets! This is my only job at the moment, so I have a lot of free time! At my apartment complex I have a decent amount of yard as well as a dog park fenced in area. I also have to roommates who would log to have a dog in the apartment for a week or weekend:)
“Again, Bianka took amazing care of our pups again! She went above and beyond accommodating another sitter for the day Bianka couldn’t be there. Then Bianka stayed late after our flight delayed. Bianka is the best!”
About: I respect all animals, and have a particular love for cats and kittens. I’ve taken care of puppies, cats, and reptiles for over five years. I can be relied on to look after your pet… feed them, play with them, do a little pet yoga, and keep an eye on them for you. I’ll have plenty of time to be with your pet and give them one on one attention. I work part time and work from home. I have a dedicated space for my pet guests, giving them leisure of my living room area and there is a large gated space in the back of my residence if your pet needs outside time.
About: A lifelong animal lover and pet owner, with more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I specialize in "high maintenance" pets who require a little extra TLC due to age, medical needs, or simply because they are spoiled rotten (as they should be!). Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, long walks, or extra patience and reassurance, I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. Pet care already plays a big role in my daily life. As a longtime pet owner, I’m used to building my schedule around walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure animals feel safe and cared for. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them throughout my week. I currently work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for scheduling, travel and pet needs. No matter which service you choose, I care for each pet by keeping their routines as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether boarding in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep water fresh, maintain a clean environment, and make time for walks, play, and quiet companionship. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, raised puppies and nursed elderly dogs! Definitely a passion of mine. I’ve trained a few rescues as well. I work part time so I’m home quite often, other than that I spend my free time hiking or taking walks with my own pup Willow. Open spaced home, great walking neighborhood with dog park only .10 mile away. Willow I’ve raised since a puppy, she’s a 6 year old lab who is insanely affectionate and energetic, and beyond sweet. She does get overly excited meeting new dogs, and loves making new friends! It’s different for each sitting and depends on what each owner is looking for. I will not take on opportunities that I can’t be fully invested and present for. Plenty of free time to accommodate your pups needs! Communication with other owners is vital from both ends to be sure everyone is taken care of and happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baywood
Clarisa has been absolutely wonderful for our two needy huskies! She went above and beyond, taking them on long or multiple walks a day, sending plenty of pictures, and just making us feel at ease leaving them behind. Super thankful to have found someone who takes such great care of our babies.
We had a dog sitter booked for our pup over the weekend. Weekend arrives and dog sitter unresponsive! We scramble for help same day and out flies Kiley like a superhero in an over-produced Marvel film. Saved the day clutch, on top of being professional and friendly. Thanks again, Kiley!
Daryana took amazing care of our two dogs, our Lab and our English Bulldog! She was attentive, caring, and made sure our senior boy received his medication exactly as required. We really appreciated the daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We felt completely comfortable knowing our fur babies were in such good hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Yana for our future getaways. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
Kimberly and Jodi did a great job house sitting our dog for the first time. He does require some special attention due to his age. He looked great and so did our house. They were easy to say in touch with and sent just the right amount of pictures.! We will call on them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Baywood is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $63 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Baywood. 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 Baywood 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 Baywood 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 Baywood 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
