“Daryana did an excellent job taking care of my dog Clover and my home!! Clover took to her immediately, which made. me feel better about leaving for a few days. Daryana communicated every day that I was gone, and when things went awry, she was quick to let me know and come up with a solution. When I got home, it looked like I never left, minus the empty toilet paper roll.”
“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!”

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!
About: I have personally grew up with dogs and find myself very passionate about care and respect for animals! My years of internships experience at a rescue center has allowed me to learn rehab skills, spread owner-responsibility awareness and tips, and have hands-on field work with all different kinds of animals, especially dogs, and cater to all their specialized needs! I additionally have fostered a couple of dogs from my local shelter! We call them staycations. This is where, as fosters, we take a dog from out of the shelter for maybe a week or so to give them some fresh air and some at-home loving! All dogs I have fostered have been happily adopted by their forever-owners! I currently work a part time job so I evidently have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your dogs! With that being said, I don’t have a set schedule that I usually work but I only work 2-3 days a week. During the week, afternoons are best for me, and weekends I have full availability if I’m not working! Please inquire to get more details about my schedule! :) I have interned at a animal care and control center so I find myself pretty well and familiar with all kinds of personalities dogs may have! I am very attentive and well follow any set instructions given for the best care of your pup!
“Hannah stayed in my home with my dog and cat while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. I have nothing but good things to say! Hannah was so sweet and took excellent care of my babies and my home! She was very communicative and sent me several updates per day. I trusted her with my babies and I could tell they were so happy and relaxed in her care! We will definitely work with her again in the future!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care from Allison & Alex! Allison and Alex took wonderful care of our boys over the Labor Day weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier with their service! Their communication was spot-on from beginning to end, and the photos of belly rubs, playtime, and happy boys gave us such peace of mind while we were away. 🐾❤️ They did an amazing job managing our senior boy’s medications and kept us informed about any concerns or adjustments that needed to be made. We truly appreciated their attentiveness and the way they treated our boys as if they were their own. They also took great care of our home and made sure the yard was cleaned up after the boys. It was clear that they went above and beyond in every aspect of their stay. We highly recommend Allison and Alex to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, responsible, and communicative pet sitters. We would absolutely book them again! 🐶🐾❤️”
About: Hello! My name is Neffy and I am 27 years old. I’ve been a vet tech/receptionist since 2021 and previously have experience working with animals in the humane society in Greenville. I love connecting with and providing the best service to not only you but your fur babies as well! I have loved animals of every sort my whole life and would love to meet and care for your baby as much as I care for mine! I would love it if you gave me the opportunity to care for your pet to brighten their day as well as yours! I am currently very flexible and have more time to provide enrichment and safe outdoor activities. This means I can be available during the day when your baby needs me most! I like to make sure the fur babies are comfortable wherever they may be. I am quick to locate any hazards that could cause injury and am mindful of what may upset or give them a scare.
About: I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I focus on giving them individualized attention, plenty of love, playtime, and care. I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while keeping you updated for extra peace of mind. 🐾 I attend school three times per week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care. On my available days and around my class schedule, I can give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, care, and love while keeping their usual routine in mind. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

About: Growing up, I’ve had animals around me at all times. I consistently watch my parents dogs as well as having my horse, Oakie. I have a growing passion for animals and have been fortunate to foster the best all dogs of all ages. That being said, I adore all animals, big and small! Not only am I trustworthy and reliable to take on any task, but making the client feel at ease is one of my biggest priorities. Starting in August I will actively be a student, but time management and scheduling is one of my pet peeves. Even though I will have classes, I can assure your pet(s) will be tended to just as I would want my pet treated. I will not be taking any pets into my home at this time. As I am not taking any pets into my home at this time, I can assure you that your pet will be walked and exercised!

I love taking dogs outside, going for walks, playing, and spending quality time with them. I also enjoy taking dogs to the park when appropriate so they can get extra exercise and stimulation. Whether your pup needs a place to stay while you’re away, some daytime company and playtime, or someone dependable to care for them in your home, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.

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.

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.
