About: I have had a passion for animal care since I was young and have only grown in experience with time. I previously worked in an animal shelter and have experience handling high-energy puppies to couch-potato seniors. I would foster older dogs while working there and am adept at creating a comfortable space for pups that struggle with changes. I look forward to getting to know your dog and personalizing their care to their needs. I am available anytime during weekends. During weekdays, I am free in the mornings and afternoons, with plenty of time to give your pup the individual attention they need. I am happy to provide whatever care is necessary to keep them healthy and happy in their home. I am available for visits to provide feeding, water, exercise, and that dose of attention that every pup needs. During visits, I'll provide updates and photos so that you can be sure they are getting the attention and care they deserve
“Paul was amazing with our dogs, Zoe and Lola! Zoe is still a puppy, and he paid close attention to her throughout his stay, giving us complete peace of mind. He kept us updated, took wonderful care of both girls and our home, and made the entire experience stress-free. We would absolutely book Paul again and highly recommend him!”
“Amelia took such great care of our dogs. She sent photos while we were away and was so good with all 3 dogs. She stayed in touch and asked questions when she needed to. She braved the downpour of rain to make sure the dogs went outside. Amelia was awesome and so respectful with our home, and I could tell she took care of our dogs and they enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Amelia to take care of your babies 🥰!”
“Noelle did such a great job taking care of our dogs for a few days while we were out of town! She was easy to communicate with, took our dogs on walks, sent update photos, and left the house nice and clean when we returned. She even offered to get more dog food in the event we ran out! We will definitely use her services again!”
“Sophia did a wonderful job looking after our home and two dogs. They were calm and looked after when we got home, the house was clean and she was even kind enough to take water the garden for us. She communicated very well before during and after, was punctual and honest.”
“We had a great experience leaving our 2 Dobermans with Ashley. She was a great communicator, took great care of my babies, great care of our home and even watered our garden and fed treats to my goats while we were gone. I will definitely call upon her again!”
“She was amazing! She kept me updated on everything and sent me lots of photos of the boys. You could tell they enjoyed their time with her! I am so happy and thankful to have had her stay!!”
“Kayelee was great! Took care of the dogs and cats during a weekend of thunderstorms. She also diligently tracked the care of the animals and provided updates throughout the week. Would definitely book her again when we go out of town!”
“We came home to happy doodles and a very clean house. We had to extend our trip by 1 day unexpectedly, and Allie was very flexible giving us peace of mind with our pups. She even made sure one of the doodles received her meds (needed an extra dose since we were gone an extra night) unprompted by us. She washed all of the linens she used and made our bed, which was a dream to come home to after a 10 hour drive. We would absolutely hire Allie again, and highly recommend her for overnight care of fur babies.”

“Kathie was excellent with my dog Macy! She took her on multiple walks each day and was very attentive. Kathie provided detailed updates whenever she went to walk Macy, feed her, and spend time with her. Highly recommend Kathie as a pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Benchley
Camyrn was so good with our pups who can be a little nervous with new people at first. She was extremely attentive to their care and needs, super communicative, and sent pictures every day of our pups looking so happy! Any questions Camyrn had, she reached out right away and went above and beyond to ensure she provided the best care possible! We will absolutely be booking with Camyrn for our future dog sitting needs!
We had such a great experience with Camyrn and would absolutely recommend her! She took amazing care of our house and all of our animals while we were gone, which is definitely no small task with our crew 😂 She kept us updated, followed all of their instructions, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing everyone was being taken care of. Our animals were happy and well cared for when we got home, and the house was just as we left it. It’s such a relief finding someone you can actually trust with your pets and your home, especially when you have multiple animals with different routines and needs. We will definitely be using Camyrn again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Benchley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 305 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benchley. 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 Benchley 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 Benchley 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 Benchley 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
