“Trevor was such a great sitter for our labradoodle, Odin. From the start his communication was consistent, clear and he included plenty of updates and pictures. We have our dog on a pretty consistent schedule and Trevor was able to accommodate to everything. We appreciate Trevor and know Odin loved having him with him! Can’t recommend Trevor enough.”
“Kelsie is awesome! I will definitely ask her to watch my babies again, she was so communicative and gave me pictures and a daily schedule of happenings. She even gave my animal her medication which wasn’t even planned. It feels really good to leave town and know that your animals are in the hands of someone like her.”
“Errin was absolutely lovely housesitting for us over the holidays! My dog Barney has trouble adjusting to new people and she was very patient and understanding of him. She keeps super detailed notes so you know that she won’t forget anything you may need her to do with your pets. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ella did such a great job - she watched our dog on short notice and was very responsive and kind the whole weekend. Will definitely reach out again in the future because we came home to a clean house and happy pup!”
“Bonnie is very experienced and did an excellent job at taking care of my dog and her puppies for the day. She sent photos and updates which was appreciated. My dog loved her right away. Would definitely book with Bonnie again!”
“Such a smooth experience! Nathan was so accommodating from the meet and greet, to making another trip just before booking to get all the details, and he provided excellent communication! We were able to get away and enjoy leaving our 3 fur babies (2 cats and a dog) in Nathan’s care six days. He loves his job and takes it very seriously will definitely be using Nathan’s services again! Thank you Nathan, we appreciate you and are so thankful you made everything go so smoothly!”
“Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter. She took such good care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for about 5 days. We got tons of video and picture updates, and she also helped out with a few things around the house. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or care for their pets.”

If you're looking for a sitter or drop in visits/ walks I'm available with a flexible schedule to suit your needs!

I will treat your animals in the same way I'd hope mine would be treated! When you book with me you can rest assured that every detail no matter how small will be taken care of. You will receive a visit summary that includes lots of pictures, and specific details about how the visit went. I pride myself on providing the best care possible, with all the love and attention to your pets and respect for you and your pets home.
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful to her and her daughter for showering my kitty with love and playtime while I was away. Kayla truly went above and beyond what I could have expected from a house and pet sitter. When I returned home, everything was spotless - she even washed the sheets, took out the trash, and handled other/extra details. I loved getting regular updates and photos of my kitty, which gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. If I weren’t moving soon, I’d absolutely ask Kayla to house sit for me again without hesitation. Thank you so much, Kayla! You were truly the best!”
“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”
“This was our first visit with Billy. I gave a long list of concerns about our 95lb coonhound and Huskypoo that likes to run away. He came back to walk the dogs later that night and walked into a mess that our pups had created. I'll spare the details, but Billy promptly contacted me that he had 3 dead chickens to clean up (2 inside the house). He didn't call me freaking out, and in turn I would freak out. He text me the info and we talked. He asked for a broom to clean them up. A BROOM?? Billy went went wayyy over the top for us and cleaned up and removed 3 dead chickens before we even got home. I've got a ton of respect for the way he handled the situation and our pups. Needless to say, Billy is our dude now. Thanks, Billy!”
“Tessa is so sweet and kind and truly has a heart for dogs! She went above and beyond in caring for my little Maggie and our home. We have definitely found our forever dog sitter 🐶”
“Rylee was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our puppy while we were away. From the start, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made us feel completely at ease. She provided daily photos and updates that gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone! She took such great care of everything and treated our puppy like her own, which meant the world to us. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and everything exactly as it should be. You can tell Rylee genuinely cares about what she does and consistently goes the extra mile without hesitation. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us and would happily trust her again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Maya was amazing! She did a house sitting for me over the Memorial Day weekend to watch my dog Riley and did an awesome job. Riley is a big boy at 80lbs, but she had no issues with his walks or daily routine. Maya was friendly, responsive with communication, kept me updated, and sent pics during her stay. She kept great care of Riley and when I got home, it was like I had not even been gone. I highly recommend Maya to anyone needing care for their pets. She is great and I will use her again.”
“Makaelah was so easy to work with and took exceptional care of my Gidget as well as my house. Gidget is older so she requires a little more care than other dogs, and Makaelah stayed on top of everything, making sure to give me daily updates and photos. I came home to thriving plants that had been watered according to my instructions, a house that was just the way I left it and a happy pet. Would definitely use Makaelah again and recommend to anyone looking for a top notch pet and house sitter.”
“Treka was fantastic with our dogs this weekend. She was really responsive and did a great job with all three of them. We appreciated having her stay at our house, she was very respectful of everything and even went above and beyond to bring in some packages in case of rain. We were very grateful Treka was able to watch our dogs for us.”
“Kimmie is always my go to person. This time she had some issues with one of our pets getting sick. The directions we left her were confusing so she called us. I always appreciate receiving a call from Kimmie, especially to let me know one of our pets was sick. We cleared up the medication instructions and when I got home my pet was well on the way back to health. Thank you Kimmie for being so responsive and calling me.”
About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog back home in China, and I am currently living with two cats here in the U.S. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a hybrid work schedule and only go into the office 1–2 days a week. The rest of the week, I work from home, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and lots of attention and company. On my work-from-home days, your pets will have someone around for most of the day. I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable, play, and explore safely. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I understand that every dog and cat has a different personality, so I’ll give them the attention, affection, or personal space they need. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away and contact you right away if I notice anything unusual.
About: A safe, clean home away from home, where every dog is treated like family. With lots of love, personalized attention, and help from my loyal German Shepherd, assistant, Lucy, your pup will feel right at home! But sets me apart from others is I can help crate dogs, potty train, to giving them their meds and walking them with a ginger lead for those elderly ones. I am currently working less than part-time. And for me, there’s no better way to spend that free time than with dogs. I also include them in my daily tasks. Every Dog’s comfort level is respected. I have both large and small crates available for dogs who are crate trained or whose owners prefer scheduled crate time (up to 90 minutes per day). I also use an indoor playpen and separate areas within the home to create healthy boundaries. Allow for quiet rest periods and ensure all dogs remain comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide personalized care, maintain each dog routine as closely as possible, and create a calm, loving environment, where pets feel secure, happy and part of the family while you’re away. It might be cliché, but I treat every dog as if it was my own.
“Kaylin is the quintessential pet and house sitter! She was excellent. Her communication was superb (pics, videos and updates several times a day). She looked after my home incredibly well, and my dog Bindi liked her straight away! She went above and beyond with regards to house sitting and pet sitting, which I appreciated. I have already booked her again, and will do so again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bertram on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,263 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bertram. 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 Bertram 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 Bertram 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 Bertram 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.
