“Nicole could not have been better to work with. She gave us regular updates, shoed up early and was very flexible with our last minute booking. She even left us baked goods when she left! Will be booking with her again if we can!”
“Annie is the best! We didn't have to worry about Stevie at all while we were away because she took such great care of him. She kept us updated daily with pictures, videos, and stories. We think Stevie has found a new best friend ❤️”
“This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Alan was wonderful with our 3 year old German Shepherd. He was communicative and regularly gave us updates while we were out of town. We will absolutely use him again!”
“Katie was a great dog and house sitter for us for 15 days while we were out of the country. She has an innate way with animals and our Nova took to her right away. From the meet and greet until we were home, I never worried about Nova's wellbeing. I was able to leave everything in Katie's capable hands. She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out to her, both before and during our trip. I highly recommend her and will use her again myself.”
“Emily did a great job. She was communicative, professional, and my animals loved her. It was evident that she loves animals. She was really helpful in not just one, but two last minute situations where I needed help. I highly recommend her and will certainly be looking to use her in the future.”
About: I currently have 4 dogs and have a huge passion for animal care and keeping dogs happy and healthy. I love taking walks with dogs! I believe pet care includes great exercise which can make any dog super happy! Just loving and caring on a dog has great an impact! I have had many different sizes and kinds of dogs growing up. I know how to handle and care for all different sizes and breeds.
“Thank you Jared for taking such good care of Beau for the day. I really appreciate you taking this at last minute. I am sure he enjoyed his day with you! Hope to have you back again sometime!”
“Vanessa was wondering. Oz was so well taken care of. When I came home he was so calm and the place looked great. She was great with communication and updates. Would definitely book her again.”
“Becca was very sweet and attentive to our babies needs! She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages about how they were doing. Will definitely continue hiring her in the near future!”
About: I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends! I'm currently working a part-time job typically working 15-25 hours a week. I usually work morning shifts ranging from 10:30-5 or 11:00-5:00, but sometimes get off an hour early depending on the day. If I need to stay for the majority of the job, please let me know at least a month in advance; I will gladly ask off! I will inform you of my schedule when we talk! :) I ensure I’m properly informed of your pets making sure I know their personality, if they have medication, habits, etc. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment through the day and I love to update my clients of their pets well-being by sending pictures, videos, and more!
“Jenna does great with our dog and spends lots of time with him when we are away, this is our second time having her watch him and will continue to use in the future”
“Olivia was great!! Great communication, sent pictures and videos of our pup and was so helpful with our last minute booking. Will definitely be booking again for future needs, highly recommend to anyone searching for a sitter.”
“Kai was wonderful! She was very communicative and sent frequent pictures of our babies. We also came home to a spotless house!We’ve already booked her for another trip and hope she’ll come every time.”
About: Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I’m 29 years old. I’ve always been an animal lover, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’d love to spend some quality time with your furry friends sometime this weekend, whether it’s in the mornings or the evenings. Unfortunately, I had to give up my Siberian husky when my family had to move. It’s been a tough time, and I miss the companionship of dogs dearly. I genuinely hope to find a way to make the dogs and their owners happy. I’ve also had experience watching dogs for people, and I’m quite comfortable with cats as well. My family has an outdoor cat that loves to hunt and be around people. I’ve done dog and cat sitting multiple times in my life, and I’m confident that I can provide the care and attention that these animals need. However, I need to be mindful of my living situation. I live in a house with roommates, and we’d prefer that I don’t bring an animal into the house. I understand that this might be a concern, but I assure you that I’m committed to finding a solution that works for everyone involved. I’m currently available to walk and hang out with your dog as long as you’d like. I don’t have a job but will still be looking for one. I can’t have a pet at home, but if a guest has a fence, I can let the dog out when I’m at the house.
“Anna did an amazing job watching my dog, Pearl! She was very respectful, responded quickly to all of my messages, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing Pearl was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I'd be happy to book with her again!”
“Halie was a wonderful pet sitter! She was prompt, communicative, and thoughtful, providing daily photos and updates that gave me peace of mind knowing my kitty was in great hands. She went above and beyond to ensure my cat was well cared for and left my home very clean and tidy. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and reliability. I highly recommend Halie and will absolutely invite her back!”
“My dogs are very high energy and one in particular gets into a lot of trouble. Ross did a great job of keeping him in check, and my house wasn’t in sticks when I returned home! I highly reccommend him”
“Jenniffer was awesome. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of our house. She took them on walks everyday and sent lots of pictures and updates. She coordinated letting people into our house and left it cleaner than we left it. She works from home, so our dogs got to go out whenever they wanted and got to sleep in our bed with her- like they prefer! The dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. So excited to have a professional, compassionate person to look after our dogs from now on.”

Cassie is great! We booked her fairly last minute and she was wonderful with our 3 fur babies! She stayed at our house for 6 nights and everything went great. She shared pics throughout the week which we loved. Our girls are a lot! They have different foods and there are meds both morning and night. Cassie managed it all like a champ and our girls were happy and cared for! We will definitely book Cassie in the future and I highly recommend her!
I recently used Madison for a weekend overnight. I found Madison to be a true dog lover, very friendly and easy-going, and a great communicator! Our home was spotless with no issues. We consider ourselves lucky to have such a caring and attentive person to watch our dogs when we were away. I look forward to trying her again.
Olivia was a joy to work with! Easy to communicate, sent us lots of photos, and clearly has so much enthusiasm for animals. When we came home, our dog looked like he was glowing and our cat was calm and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated her taking such great care of our babies and would definitely book again!
Julia was so amazing! She was great with my senior dog, who tends to be anxious and requires medication twice a day. She kept us updated with photos and messages for the entirety of our trip, which was so appreciated. I came home to an excited but relaxed dog, who’s normally visibly stressed out when I pick her up from boarding. Overall she was kind, professional, and had so much genuine care for our pets. Would absolutely recommend her!
Stephanie is amazing! She not only took exceptional care of our two high energy pups but is also extremely in tune with pet behavior. She gave me knowledgeable insights into how the dogs act and play together which will help immensely with their training. I can't recommend her enough- you won't be disappointed!
I couldn't have asked for a better house and pet sitter than Madison! She took care of my home and dog for two weeks, and everything was absolutely perfect. Communication was seamless—I received timely updates and plenty of photos that completely set my mind at ease while I was away. Not only was my dog happy and in great shape when I returned, but Madison also went above and beyond, helping water the plants and tidying up the house. Madison is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and professional. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!

It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
My Beans had such a great time with Ashley. He got to go on some car rides and even made some friends with other dogs. This was the first time in 9 years he’s been with anyone other than my immediate family; we will definitely book with Ashley again and again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bellewood is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 715 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bellewood. 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 Bellewood 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 Bellewood 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 Bellewood 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.
