“We had a great experience with Rachael! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, was incredibly flexible with timing, and made the entire process stress-free. Most importantly, we felt completely confident that our puppy, Zeke, and cat, Ophie, were in excellent hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I've worked with pets my whole life, and have worked with dogs professionally for over a year. I bring a depth of knowledge and a willingness to learn that help me adapt to the needs of every animal. I work full time, but primarily have weekends and weekdays evenings and nights available. So if you are looking to take a weekend getaway, or need someone to come check on the pets in the evenings, I'll be happy to work you into my schedule. I make sure pets are fed and cared for to their owners specifications. Medical needs are seen to as a priority, and hygiene, bathroom, and attention needs are always a focus when I am caring for pets.
“Jorden is a pleasure to work with and took excellent care of my girl while I was on vacation. I am extremely pleased with her work and will be continuing to use her for future dog sitting.”
“We appreciated Emily coming to stay with Donut and the updates she gave during her stay at our house with him, we would definitely book with Emily again! Thank you!!”
“Tatyana is wonderful to work with and is super responsible and reliable. She is a great communicator and sends us lots of pictures of Sasha while we are away. We will definitely be reaching out to her again soon for more cat sitting in our home. She is the best.”
About: I love animals! Currently I have a mixed breed (mostly French Bulldog). Dog(s) are let out on a run or a leash to keep chickens safe. I have 2 adult children so these days animals are my main focus. My life revolves around family.... human and animal family! I am hoping to keep busy caring for animals in my home and / or yours. My dog is friendly and submissive. I do have a small fenced area if the dog run/leash walking are not suitable. My dog doesn't use a crate but I have plenty available all different sizes.
“Meghan was great with our dog, Wally and cat, Cyprus. She was quick to respond to my request and found a time to come over to do a meet and greet. Meghan sent me pictures and updates throughout our whole trip which I really appreciated. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my fur babies were being well taken care of! This was my first time using Meghan and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Michael was great. He came over to meet the dogs a few days before we went away and they hit it off. He was always on time and took great care of the dogs. He was also quick to respond to messages. We highly recommend him to take care of your fur family.”
“Our experience with Mary was SO great. She was very flexible around our holiday schedule and was in constant communication throughout. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Veronica is very pleasant and friendly. She took great care of Marley, taking her for her walks and playing ball with her. She gave her all the attention and affection she needed. Marley loved her and when we came home she showed us her affection for her. We would be happy to have Veronica take care of Marley anytime in the future.”
About: I have loved animals my whole life. I am looking to start something new and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to grow my career. Rookie here with house and pet sitting. Schedule just opened wide up and taking on new clients and owners. I currently work remote and my schedule is wide open. I Have taken care of Dogs my whole life and enjoy spending time with them. I love taking care of pets like they are part of the family. I work remotely and i can take them potty whenever they need to go. I get two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch.
“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”
“Kaeleen watched our dog Sadie and cat Mac for a week. She took great care of them. She provided updates and sent pictures. She was respectful to our home. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a great in-house sitter!”
“Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!”
“She’s amazing. We love her, we were able to travel with peace of mind because she gave us a lot of confidence. We have 3 dogs and they loved her too. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Amanda was great! She was very responsive and responsible, and even jumped in during a pinch when we needed someone on short notice. Our super anxious pups (including our 85lb boxer) warmed up to her very quickly and we could tell they had a great time when we got home. We will definitely have Amanda back at our home to stay with our fur babies and recommend her for your sitting needs.”
“Michael house sat with our two pooches for 14 days. Our reactive, stranger-disliking dog took to Michael on first meeting. Michael responded immediately to any messages that we sent, and kept us informed with regular notes and photos of the hounds. The dogs were happy, our home was well looked after, and the houseplants are still green! Good job!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nikera! She stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was well cared for, and it was clear everyone received lots of attention and love. She also went above and beyond by staying late to accommodate our travel schedule, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful travel day much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated knowing our pets and home were such good hands while we were away and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bennington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bennington on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 576 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bennington. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bennington. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
