“I had a last minute work request, and Elizabeth came through at a short notice and was fantastic! She is very well versed with adjusting to puppies and different breeds, and my Juni was more than happy to have Elizabeth. She sent detailed updates- which I more than appreciated as it helped calm down my nerves throughout my time away. I am so pleased with how flexible and accommodating Elizabeth has been (especially as this is my first time using Rover) and would highly recommend her for your pets!”

“Zosha is a MIRACLE of a pet sitter. Not only was he up to the challenge of caring for our two cats AND two dogs for a week, one of them was newly added to the family and finishing her first heat cycle. Moreover, Zosha left the house in perfectly clean condition with FRESH SHEETS on the bed. Book him as soon as you can and without reservation.”

About: I have always grown up with animals, and right now, I have 2 cats and a dog! My dog is a Rhodesian Ridgeback and very energetic, so I am quite comfortable with high energy dogs. I have also been pet sitting since high school for various neighbors, friends, coworkers, etc, and I absolutely love to do it! I am a PhD student at George Mason so my schedule changes from day to day. That being said, I will do my absolute best to make whatever schedule you request work, so please reach out to see if I’m available! I have always grown up with animals, and right now I have two cats and one large dog, so I have plenty of experience with caring for animals. My dog is 5 years old anad still incredibly energetic, so I am very comfortable with caring for excited dogs! I also love cats, they are my favorite animal, so I will be happy to spend time with them.

“The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Seth was great! He kept in touch with me all the time I was away. The dogs seemed to be happy and well cared for as was my home. He cleaned up before my return, in fact when I got back I could hardly tell that anyone had been in my home! My dogs are hugely important to me and I'm at home with them a lot, so knowing there was someone spending a descent amount of time with them each day while I was away made all the difference to me being able to relax on my vacation.”

Mimosa was a wonderful overnight sitter for our sweet dog, Gigi. We were so relieved to know Gigi was in excellent hands while we were on our trip. Mimosa showed up on time every evening, was very communicative via text to update us how Gigi was doing, and sent us pictures as well. She fed and walked Gigi exactly as we instructed. Gigi is mostly blind and so she needs a bit of extra care which Mimosa delivered with kindness and patience. I would definitely work with Mimosa again and highly recommend her for overnight dog care.

Can we leave more stars? Nicole was exceedingly kind and very patient with our three pups…able to break down barriers very quickly. Their comfort levels grew with each day, and two of them are sensitive poodle mixes! She kept us regularly informed of their well-being, and this was such a comfort to us. We came home to a tidy and clean house with three happy dogs. She was truly exceptional as a dog and house-sitter. The fact that she’s so highly rated is no surprise to us now. What a find!

Tasha did a wonderful job with our 2 young puppies. We requested house sitting while we enjoyed an evening out to ensure our puppies were kept on a potty schedule and to keep them from being crated too long before bedtime. Flynn and Toffee are happy to see Tasha and Mike when they come to visit. They play with them, keep them engaged, and send pictures to capture their time together. We came home to tired puppies which is a key indicator of a successful evening. We look forward to Tasha's next visit with our boys!

Trisha took care of our 3 pups while we were away and did a great job! They got playtime and/or walks everyday. She was able to walk our big guy @120lbs and knew when it was too hot for our Frenchies to go out on a walk. She seemed to have no problem juggling the different needs of the pups. I got daily reports with pictures which gave me a lot of assurance I was leaving my dogs in good hands!

Neida is the sweetest!! We were getting married and desperately needed a pet sitter we could trust while we weren’t reachable for a few days. We have two small anxious dogs who are also leash reactive, but somehow Neida managed to make them feel safe and cared for so easily!! They typically return from pet sitters feeling anxious and unsettled, but with Neida they were so calm and confident! We loved Neida so much that we’ve referred her name to our friends and family and will definitely be working with her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bel Air

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bel Air on Rover is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $73 per night. 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 10,053 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
