“Dakota was amazing with my three pups and even managed to keep on still long enough to tahe a pic. I cant even explain how much I appreciate Dakota for caring for my pups. From a last minute request to a lifesaver. Dakota kept me updated on my pups daily and it made me feel like I didn't miss a beat”

“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”

“Emma did a wonderful job watching our dog Finn. She was on time to pick up the key, and sent me pictures and texts throughout the booking so I knew Finn was fine. She played games with him, walked him and fed him on schedule. I know Finn was happy because he was not anxious when we got home. He is usually very needy and clingy after we have been away. This time with Emma, he was totally chill when we got home. I eould book with Emma again in a heartbeat!🐕👍”

“Meghan watched our cat and dog for an extended time while we’re overseas. She was wonderful and took great care of our geriatric boys who both needed meds. Communication was very consistent and she sent great pictures. The cherry on top was that she left the house immaculate for us and even had the bed clean and ready for us which was tremendous as we got home from the airport after midnight. We highly recommend Meghan and will definitely book her again!!!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I grew up with a family dog and have also fostered dogs, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with dog walking, feeding, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with them based on their individual comfort level. Whether your pet loves lots of attention or prefers their own space, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I recently finished graduate school, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. I will always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s space and your home. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind!

About: With 8 years of pet-sitting experience, I've cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to senior pets who prefer a slower pace, I understand that every animal has their own unique needs. I have experience caring for multi-pet households, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I'm comfortable managing different feeding schedules, exercise routines, and daily responsibilities. I also have hands-on experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, including oral medications, eye drops, and topical creams or ointments. I understand how important it is to follow medication instructions carefully and keep pets comfortable throughout the process. Whether you need a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight care, my goal is to maintain your pet's usual routine while giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else's care, so I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates. I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I'd want for my own! I offer flexible scheduling for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting in your home. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to accommodate their usual feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and daily activities. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, your cat needs some company while you're away, or your pets need overnight care, I'm happy to discuss their schedules and individual needs ahead of time. My priority is providing consistent, dependable care that works for both you and your pets! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I provide care in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special care requirements. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, and topical treatments to both dogs and cats, and I always prioritize patience and gentle handling. I'm also attentive to securing doors, gates, and leashes, monitoring pets for unusual behavior, and keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether I'm visiting for a walk, stopping by for daily care, or staying overnight, I'll treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for!

“Cassie was a great pet & house sitter! We had a nice initial meeting and all the animals warmed up to her immediately. She was easy to work with, flexible, friendly and trustworthy. She walked the dogs and sent pictures every day. She kept her eye on the cat and guinea pigs and cleaned up after herself…and she even left an origami bird for luck. I will definitely be contacting her again. She gave me peace of mind to enjoy a few days away with the family without worrying about the home front. Thank you!”

I now see why Dakota has so many 5 star reviews. Dakota was great. She was great with the doggies, very responsible and very trustworthy. She was not only on time, she was early. We were concerned about leaving our beloved pets and home, but Dakota made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. I highly recommend Dakota. We will be using her services again!

Victoria did an absolutely fantastic job with our big guy! From start to finish, her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring. Hard to believe it was her first time sitting for us—she was patient, responsible, and clearly cared about making him comfortable. We came home to a happy dog and a smooth experience. We highly recommend her and have already booked her for next month!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bel Air

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bel Air is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $92 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 November 2026, there are 2,502 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bel Air. 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 Bel Air 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 Bel Air 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 Bel Air 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bel Air. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
