“Brianna is AMAZING!!! She stayed at our place with our pitty for a week, we got lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely have Brianna as our dog sitter from now on 🥳”
“Christine has been an absolute lifesaver! She's incredibly reliable, and my dog Toto loves her. I'm able to be at work without any worries knowing that Toto is in such good hands. Christine goes above and beyond every time, and I will definitely continue booking her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter!”
“This is either the 3rd or 4th time Jeffery has stayed with our critters in our home. He is just SO reliable, respectful, professional, and we have no worries when we're away. Our dogs and cat love his calm nature and that's exactly what our reactive boy needs. I hope we can continue to have Jeffery sit for us for years to come! I am just so grateful to have someone we can trust in our home with our kiddos.”
“I am so appreciative of Ava taking my last minute booking and toughing out the winter storm to take care of my two dogs. She’s very reliable, she has watched my dogs twice and I would definitely book her again!”

“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“Christina was great with our dogs! We appreciated that she spent so much time with them! She kept in contact regularly on how the dogs were doing and sent pictures! Our dogs seemed happy when we arrived home unlike other times we have left them. We will definitely have her back to stay with the dogs!”
“Leslie was fabulous! So attentive with my LeRoy and Roxy! The dogs loved her and would certainly welcome her back if mama ever had to travel work again. I would recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Nicole accomodated our needs verywelll looking aftero our two Jack Rusells. She gave them the attention they needed and took care of the few other needs like watering the plants. We will definitely use Nicole again. Thanks!”
“Taylor was amazing!! She took the job last minute, came to meet my boys the next day and began staying with them at my house the day after! While we were away, Taylor sent pics daily of both of my boys playing or cuddling or out for their walks. During that time my security cameras even grabbed shots of them, and the boys were always wagging their tails when she arrived! They were genuinely happy to see her. When we arrived home, the house was still perfectly straightened and the boys looked completely relaxed and well cared for! Couple of things that made this stay so great: She was willing to take the job last minute She administered medicine daily to both of my dogs She followed my instructions for their care precisely My dogs cannot be together, so she kept them apart and walked them separately, exactly as I had requested! I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Victory did terrific job with my three dogs! Victory administered thyroid medicine for one of my dogs twice a day. Victory was also wonderful with my puppy, and total she had three dogs and did an amazing job. Thank you!”

“Vanessa is Amazing!!! Best pet sitter ever! Went to Florida for vacation and she did an amazing job watching our cat and dog. She was incredible and always gave us great updates throughout our trip. 😀 Would absolutely book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bear Poplar. 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 Bear Poplar 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 Bear Poplar 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 Bear Poplar 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.

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.
