“Haeli is the best! My girls loved her. I won’t hesitate to use her again. She communicates so well and was so responsive. I think I actually have more anxiety about leaving my dogs than they have about me leaving them. She was calming and assured me my girls were taken care of. Can ask for more than that. Thank you, Haeli!”
About: I am happy to watch a variety of pets, and walk or run with dogs. I'm energetic, responsible, and easy to work with. I can swing by any time since I work from home during the day. I'm happy to do long walks for energetic pups. I also love cats! I would be happy house sit for pets. I am excited to meet you and your lovable pets! I work from home and so I am happy to stay in your place all day if desired to ensure your pets are as cared for as possible. I am very flexible so I can walk and feed on the pets normal schedule. I take top priority in the safety and happiness of your pet. I have no pets currently and can give your pet the individual attention it needs here.
“Ami was a fantastic house sitter with our dog Chip! She came over earlier in the week to introduce herself and meet our dog. She is incredibly friendly, engaging and a great communicator. Any questions she was quick to reply via text message and she sent some great pictures of Chip while we were gone to ensure they were doing great! Also part a very nice followup note for us when we returned home. I would highly recommend her and we’ll definitely utilize her services again!”
“Justin was a great and trusted sitter for our boy while we were gone overnight. Took wonderful care of him and was an excellent communicator. Sent us photos and took great care of the house. Cleaned up after himself which was very thoughtful! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an in home sitter.”
“Abbie was absolutely wonderful! She has such a bright a bubbly personality, our dogs warmed up to her really fast which was surprising and made me feel really happy. Shes really great about sending photos and communicating throughout the time she was with them. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Always punctual, communicative, clean and flexible! One of our pups was being finicky on this trip and Kat kept us up to date and was very committed to making the weekend a good experience for everyone! The photos and videos she sends are always the best as well!”
“Zoe did an outstanding job caring for our puppers. She is prompt and respectful in person and was very attentive to our dogs needs. During her stay she communicated very well with pictures and updates.”
“I can’t say enough about what an amazing job Kristi did. I would highly highly recommend her services. She communicated on a regular basis. I’ve used sitters before where they were just “there”. Kristi actually spent time interacting with my three dogs. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities. She asked questions about what they liked and didn’t like and even took time to brush them. Five stars!!’”
“Jessica was amazing! She stayed at our house with our lab while we were on vacation. She sent many pictures and kept us updated on how things were going! She left the house very clean and even brought us flowers :) I highly recommend Jessica and look forward to having her stay again.”
About: Hello my name is Talia! The job experience I have with animals was attending Omaha Henry Doorly zoo academy working in Madagascar caring for lemurs and bats. I also currently work at a dog daycare (7 years) Caring for those animals made me realize this is the life I want to have helping any animal in need. Thank you for reading my little speal and I hope you consider me when finding you next pet sitter or walker. In conclusion if you have any questions or concerns please message me I’d happy to answer them all. I work weekend mornings through early afternoons, typically from 7 AM to 12:45–1:30 PM. During the week, I occasionally have scheduled drop-in visits for other clients, which usually take about 2–3 hours of my day. These visits aren't necessarily every day, as my schedule can vary. My schedule can be flexible depending on the booking and care needed, and I'm always happy to discuss arrangements ahead of time. I like to be upfront about my availability so clients understand that while I provide attentive and dependable care, I am not home 24/7 and may need to step away for work or other scheduled visits. Over time, I've had the opportunity to care for numerous dogs and have even been recommended to friends and family by previous clients. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I take pride in! I love keeping owners connected throughout the day by taking plenty of pictures and sending regular updates, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to spend as much of my available free time with them as possible. I also carry safety tools when out of the house to protect me and your pet from any unleashed pets. Even when I need to step away for a few hours, your pet is never forgotten! When I return, I love making up for that time by giving them extra attention, and playtime. I'm always mindful of their whereabouts and well-being while caring for them in your home. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and included in my day—not simply cared for because it's part of a booking.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for while! I’m accountable and reliable! I will keep your home clean and your pets safe while you are away! I’m currently working full time but will make so much time for your pups! I adore animals and it is my pleasure to work with your pups! I will care with compassion and grace! I love working with pets! I will treat your home like my own, clean and beautiful, trust me with all your home!
About: I have had pets around my entire life, my own along with family and friends. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. All types of pets deserve the best attention and love, especially when you are away, and providing all they need and more is my top priority. I have experience in dog walking, daytime visits, and nightly stays. No matter the weather, I will make sure to care for your pet in timely manners as I would for my own. If you are traveling for the holidays, I will be available from December 9th to January 9th-except December 25. I have a flexible schedule during this period and am available all days of the week at any time. Keep your animals in the comfort of your home and I’ll take care of the rest! Although I do not have a fenced yard at home, I always have a close eye on my dog and am ready to spring into action in the backyard or on walks. When I’m caring for your pet, my attention is solely on them and what they need in the moment. I am comfortable picking up pets as needed and always offer my hand for greeting. With food regimens, I can handle live food (bugs/mice) along with putting together a bowl of wet/dry food (and supplements if preferred).
About: I love animals. I've had dogs of all sizes and of varying breeds my whole life, from my current pack of dogs including 2 chihuahuas to the 120 pound yellow lab I used to have and dogs of all sizes in between. I love all dogs and spend most of my free time with my dogs, from just feeding them and letting them out to playing with them and even grooming them myself. Despite my mild allergy to them, I also love and have lots of experience with cats. I used to cat sit for my parents friends and have spent lots of time playing with and taking care of cats for my parents' friends and my late grandmother. I'm currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I feed and let my own dogs out when I get up around 9 AM and then dinner time is at 6, with lots of potty breaks as needed in between and play time as their moods determine, averaging around 3 hours of high activity play per day plus lots of mental stimulation offered with puzzle feeders and whatever other games I come up with. I have a fenced yard and 4 very friendly dogs of my own, but I can make sure your dogs get leashed before going out if needed and can crate dogs as needed. My babies are spoiled enough to be used to sleeping with people, meaning I'm happy to snuggle your babies as they're used to.
About: My family has had multiple dogs in the past and have loved and taken care of any dog we have had or watched. Have been told that I have a special charm with dogs/puppies! I work as a teacher and a football coach, so I am gone from 7:00 AM to 6 PM. Am free most nights and can be flexible as well. I stick to the schedules that are given to me and feed them at the proper times. I love to play with dogs in any environment, whether that is outdoors and indoors!

“Jaala is a kind, sweet young woman who loves animals and works at a vet clinic during the day. She was wonderful with our terrier! After a few sniffs our dog knew she was great, and he was very comfortable spending the evening with her.”
“Tricia was flexible and easy to work with during her home stay. She gave us updates each day on our pups and left the house clean and in good worder when she left She was eager to put our mind at ease and spent lots of time with my boys”
“Yvonne is lovely and took care of my dogs as if they were her own. I was grateful knowing they were so well taken care of in my absence. I highly recommend Yvonne, she is a great person and clearly loves animals dearly.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bennington is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

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 Bennington 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 Bennington 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 Bennington 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.

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.
