“I had such an amazing experience having my Luna cared for over the weekend by Audry! From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Communication was wonderful, and I really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout her care. It made being away from her so much easier knowing I could see how she was doing and that she was happy and comfortable. Overall, it was such a great experience from start to finish. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Luna received, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets. I’ll definitely be booking with Audry again in the future! 🐾”
About: I Volunteer at an animal shelter, I’ve worked at adoption events for local rescues, I’m patient with any animal, including difficult ones, I have a boxer of my own so I understand Care, needs, playtime, baths, food, water, medications for older dogs. I currently work 2 jobs one full time & part time. I work at a fast food place and as a cleaner for a boxing gym. I also go on runs, coffee shops, dog parks. I will be checking in and taking care of the dog with pets, playtime, (baths if needed).

“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Brenna stepped in for me in an urgency and was the utmost friendly, communicative and wonderful caretaker for my two pups - one big and one small. I would hire Brenna again (and plan to!) in a heartbeat. She is the best and a fantastic doggie caretaker.”
“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.
“Ivy was wonderful and understanding to my Lola, who is generally nervous around new people. Lola is not the easiest dog, but it made me so glad to see that she and Ivy became good friends. I would be happy to book with Ivy again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid – we always had family animals, and I grew up feeding, walking, and bathing them. I had a Golden Retriever and a 6 years old cat so I’m used to high‑energy pups and know how to keep them happy, safe, and well‑exercised. You’ll get daily photo updates, so you can relax while you’re away. I can easily fit in walks or drop‑in visits anytime during the day, evening, or weekends. I’m available Monday through Friday from morning to night, and fully open on Saturdays and Sundays. If your pets needs extra attention (e.g., after surgery or just separation anxiety), I can even be home full‑time for a day – just let me know in advance. When I care for your pets in your home, I always start with a safety check – making sure doors, windows, and gates are secure, and removing any hazards like toxic plants or small objects. I’ll follow your feeding and guidelines precisely, and I always ask about things to look for ahead of time. You’ll get daily photo updates and a quick message after each visit – so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
“Laura was a wonderful sitter to my cat Coopy. Even from the meet and greet, Coopy who is usually a timid cat, was open to meeting her and saying hi. During the sitting, Laura sent me updates with pictures and videos about how he is doing and that made me feel very good about leaving him with Laura. Thank you for caring for him :)!”
“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
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.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
About: My dog had puppies and I took care of one for a couple months. I potty trained him, had playtimes, crate trained him, and set him on an eating schedule. A lot of people don’t realize how much work a puppy is but it’s a process that I have trained for! I work from home and do not have a solid schedule which gives me a lot of free time to do anything. I love animals and really want to use my free time to care for them. I have a maltipoo that is my own, I clean up after him, feed him, trained him, and even groom him myself by trimming his hair and clipping his nails!
About: The personalized schedule I keep for pets I’m sitting will always be unique to their personality. I have adapted and taken dogs to the gym with me, runs on the beach, driven to hike trails and will always go above and beyond for our furry companions. I will absolutely read to your pets if they are used to having you speak to them constantly. (I love talking out loud to our furry friends) I’m pretty flexible on the weekends and during the week standard availability is 5p and on. I am available for morning drop ins as I make my schedule in my Corp. job. Yes I will absolutely also chat up your house plants too. I constantly send photo updates and will always answer a text within 5-10 minutes. I try to honor any established schedule your pets might have and try to enhance their activities to distract them from your absence whether that be from long days at work or even an out of town trip.
“Rose was great. We needed last minute dog sitting. She had quick and great communication throughout the day. Followed all instructions for our pup and even sent pics :) would recommend and use again :)”
“Karla was absolutely amazing with my dog, Honey! Honey adores her and it seemed like they had a blast together. Karla is very reliable and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She also took great care of the apartment.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have a Frenchie of my own, so I understand the importance of giving pets plenty of attention, care, exercise, and love. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with different personalities and routines. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I have a Frenchie of my own. I recently transitioned from my previous primary job, giving me a flexible schedule and more availability to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bell
Audry stayed for two nights looking after our two cats! She was very communicative, attentive and just an overall great person! We loved having her stay and felt at ease that our cats were very well looked after. We will definitely be using her again and I can't recommend her enough for your pets!
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! :)

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.
<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 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!

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 .

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.
