“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Rachel! She was exceptional from start to finish—caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated my dog like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, giving me firsthand experience with their unique personalities, needs, and proper care. More recently, I was a member on another pet sitting website when I was a student at a university in Paris,France, where I had experience taking care of dogs and cats in my own apartment for a few different families for a period of time. The best part about watching pets is the pleasure I get from being able to give them love while their owners were away. I am open to pet sitting weekdays and weekends. I work during the week with days off in between. Early mornings and late nights are no problem. I’ll closely follow a pets routine, providing fresh water, food as instructed, exercise/playtime, medication if needed, a safe environment, and of course lots of love and affection.
“Taylor did an amazing job watching my dog Bugsy. She was on time, followed instructions, kept me updated on how my dog was doing and was instantly a best friend and safe person for my anxious dog. I can’t wait to have Taylor watch Bugsy again :)”
About: Experienced in dog/cat boarding, farm animals, ect. Worked at animal sanctuaries, boarding facilities, ect with every type of animal you can think of. Comfortable in all types of environments. Background in zoology I am felxible as most of my work is done by 2:30pm during the week. Comfortable around all types of animals and pets as well I have the ability to crate fenced off areas as well as having a private room for the animals to stay in when it’s necessary
“Nina was fantastic, she followed all my instructions and took great care of my pup. She was super patient and I will definitely want to book her again. She left my house spotless and I’m so grateful for all her help!!”
“Carley was amazing! She took such good care of our pups and made sure to tire them out while we were gone. One of our dogs is reactive to other dogs and Carley handled her perfectly. We felt so relieved that our pups were in such good hands. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: My experience with animal care has billed the following: Dogs, cats, birds... the list goes on! I do not shy from the messy, the sassy, the lazy, or the energetic, I've seen it all! I have specialty in caring for younger animals, having nurtured lots of animals into adulthood, even with the absence of their parents. One such example was when I had a litter of puppies in my care: two out of the seven puppies had unfortunately contracted parvo, but because I was their caretaker, they not only had successful recoveries but the other healthy puppies stayed healthy all throughout. No matter what, I've got you covered! Important note: Wednesday is my busiest day of the week! While I am still available, I cannot guarantee it. I'm currently on a part-time work schedule, so anytime in the morning, early afternoon, evening, or night is perfect for me to visit your pet! Even at work, I will go during my lunch to ensure your pets are A-OK! I never let pets out of my sight no matter what, especially for supervised activities (walking, out in the yard, etc.) I am willing and able to provide near-constant updates to ensure your peace of mind, and I treat every home with the utmost respect and leave it better than how it was. I have extreme patience with pets, and can reliably sense and match the energy they give out, i.e. I will never make a lazy dog do more than they comfortably want to and I will never do less than what an extremely energetic dog wants. I have a husky mix, so I know how it is!
“Gabriana was so sweet with our anxious pup and met all of her specific needs. Gabriana also went above and beyond taking care of our home. We are very much looking forward to booking her again in the future!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life since I was a baby. My family has never been without more than one dog in our lives. I’ve always been in charge of medication or recovery after surgery for our pets. I started sitting in 2023 and have continued to do so for family and close friends. My daily schedule is pretty flexible as I currently take online classes this semester. I try to make all necessary appointments on the same day so as not to have a busy week/weekend. I usually let the owner(s) tell me any important information about their pets(s) while also asking about any behavior or habits that I should be aware of. Any medication that is required I write down to remember and prevent any possible mistakes.
About: Well what I can said. I'm a really outgoing person who likes the outdoors, I enjoy long walks I like to hike, the beach. I like to explore new things. As a new mother I like to take care of details and I go beyond any expectations. I can bathe the dog if it it ok with any person. My house is really small but I know that every dog would feel comfortable staying here. I can feed them any medication if they need any. Over all about my self I really outgoing person that likes to get along with others I'm fun, silly, happy, and I'm also a grown woman with a mind of a child that would love any activity. Please feel free to get to know me. I'm a stay home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of any dog. And play with them. And give them attention. I have a small fenced yard. Where the dog can run around without any inconvenience. And I will also take them for a walk to the park.
“Sandy was awesome. Her communication was quick and efficient when needing a last minute in house sitter. She asked for all information and wanted to keep the dogs on a routine. She sent cute photos and videos throughout our absence. I highly recommend her and will be using her in the future! ?”
“Lucky had a wonderful time with Lizett! Lucky is still adjusting to his life after being rescued off the streets, but he connected with Lizett instantly. She took him on many walks, which is he loves! She sent me pictures while I was away, so I was extra peaceful knowing Lucky is in good hands. She fed him and made sure to give him lots of cuddles. I am definitely going to get her to watch Lucky again.”
“Highly recommend. Was available in very short notice for dog sitting. Constant communication the entire time. Took very good care of our Frenchie. Will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs, big and small, young and old. I have a lot of energy for playful pups, along with patience for grey-faced older ones. I've changed diapers and administered medicine in various vessels (food, treats, orally). I'm happy to go on walks and to give cuddles! If you have a kitty, my love is just as strong, but I know when to give them their space if wanted or needed! I'm a newly graduated UCSB alumni so I have plenty of time to take care of pets, which is honestly how I love to spend my time anyway. I prefer to spend as much time as possible with my clients' pets for the duration of my stay. I don't tend to leave for more than an hour or two to get food or run some quick errands. I am vigilant and attentive, especially in regards to any allergies such as bees.
About: I love dogs and take taking care of them very seriously. I love playing with them, walking them, and feeding them. I've taken care of my own dog for three years as well as my friends dog whenever he is away and it's been a blast so far! My philosophy on dog rearing is boundaries, love, and plenty of physical and mental excercise. I am available to dog walk during the mornings and daytime and am available to dog sit overnight weekdays and weekends at my place or yours. My home is medium sized but there is plenty of yard space for your pup to run around. I think your dogs will have a great time with me and you can rest assure that they will be well cared for and loves.
About: I grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals. I’ve taken care of all kinds. Older pups to little puppies. Wether it’s medications and special diets or just patience to teach and care, I got you. I freelance so usually I will fit visits into my schedule or I’ll be home all day to take care of any pet I’ll be boarding. I have a large yard for fun play time and potty. There’s an older small dog in the house who’s very friendly and loves to help. I also have 2 cats but they mostly keep to themselves.
About: I am probably the best dog lover you will come across in your life. I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. I’ve rescued many dogs and found many homes as well. I will choose dogs over humans any day so just know your dog is in good hands! I am available anytime most of the time. I can accommodate my schedule to your liking so don’t hesitate to ask for a change in schedule with me. I can accommodate to your dogs needs if any but if there are no particular needs then we’ll just have some fun! As in constant walks around the neighborhood, beach, hiking , grocery store, etc! Definitely plenty adventures in store!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bell
Audrey was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two cats, Wednesday and Mavis, for four days and stayed overnight to make sure they were well cared for. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, followed all of our care instructions, and made sure both cats were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We came home to two happy cats and a clean home! It's clear Audrey genuinely loves animals and takes pride in being a responsible, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter or overnight pet care. We will definitely be booking her again!
I cannot recommend Anahis enough! I felt completely at ease knowing Molly was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. The communication was perfect and I received regular updates and photos of Molly. Molly can be a bit nervous around new people, but she immediately felt calm with Anahis. She was relaxed, happy, and content. She truly treats each pet as if it were her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pet, I’d highly recommend Anahis. Thank you for taking care of Molly!
Moriah is AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to go on overnight trips but haven’t since one of our little guys has quite an involved medical routine. We have been so worried we wouldn’t find anyone that would be patient or communicative enough to learn his ways. Moriah turned that thought around *completely* and went above and beyond! Moriah was so attentive to our boys’ routine, asked the right questions, gave us the best updates with pics, and honestly the boys fell even more in love with their buddy! We’re so grateful to Moriah for helping our family, so in Moriah we Trust! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bell is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $49 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.

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 Bell 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 Bell 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 Bell 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 Bell. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
