“Alicia was wonderful with our dog. Alicia followed all of our instructions, stayed in communication, and we would highly recommend Alicia. Thank you very much, Alicia 💕”
“Even for a short visit of a few hours (new home, nervous dog) Lisa's professionalism shone through: Our Izzy was taken for a good walk, a trip to the backyard, and had plenty of enriching/calming attention. Everything we needed and more!”
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
“Alyssa has been very patient and kind with our dog, shows her lots of love, and is very punctual and reliable. We got lots of updates during their time together and she really put our minds at ease. Thank you Alyssa!”
“It's hard to leave our senior pet, but we felt very confident with Ollie. Charlie took to him immediately. Ollie knew several tricks to help us with Charlie's exercises, physical challenges, and medication schedule. He was compassionate and communicative. We would not hesitate to hire him again.”
“Ashley was fantastic. Our pup warmed up to her immediately like they were old friends. She was communicative, punctual, tidy and most importantly took great care of our boy. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“This was our second time booking with Kelsea for a 10-day sit, and she did amazing again! She pulled all the stops taking care of our dog who had a minor illness, including making a sweet potato, carrot, and peanut mash for he and his sister. She sent plenty of photos of them cuddling with her, so there was no doubt that they were ok without us there! We came back to a perfect house, too. Thank you, Kelsea!!!”
“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”
“Amber was fantastic! She communicated so well and took perfect care of our fur baby while we were out! She kept us updated on everything, and we will be using her again!”
“Bangyun is a very sweet gal, who took very good care of our senior dog and cat. She provided daily updates and photos. Our senior dog requires additional support since he is diabetic and has incontinence issues. Bangyun was willing to learn how to give him his daily insulin injections, as well as ensuring he wore a diaper while she was away. Our home was left in great shape as well. When coming home, our flight was delayed requiring an additional night of care. Bangyun graciously agreed to stay with our fury friends the additional night. We will definitely use Bangyun again in the future.”
“Marshall was great with my dog and my house. My dog was happy and calm when I returned and the house was exactly as I left it. There was great communication throughout the entire house sit. I would recommend Marshall for any pet care needs!”
“Chardonay was fantastic and our dog Harley absolutely loved them! We already set up another sit, so we highly recommend working with her. Harley has some specifically reactivity needs, and we felt at ease with Chardonay watching her. She kept us updated and sent lots of dog pics throughout the sit too.”
About: From middle school to college, my family cared for a sweet rescue pup named Ginger! I cuddled with her as often as I could, played music for her, and took her on walks to chase rabbits. Nowadays I live with an adorable cat aptly named Kitty (who's napping against my leg as I type this)! She's my landlady's pet; I look after Kitty every time I'm alone in the house, and Kitty always brightens up my day. :)) I want to learn more about different pet personalities and how to care for them with the respect they deserve. I keep my eye out for unique behaviors and body language quirks, and I'm always game for playtime to help keep their minds and bodies enriched. If your pet likes music, let me know and I'll bring my flute or cello over to entertain them! As a recent college grad, I've got an early morning part-time retail job and am in the midst of applying for a second daytime gig. I anticipate having some afternoons and evenings free! I treat home visits like a peaceful hike in the woods - leave no trace, and enjoy the company! I don't go poking and prodding around unless instructed to. I DO give lots of head pats and scritches if pets want them! I'm careful to refrain from over- and under-feeding pets, and I'm always open to hearing what I can do to improve in any area of pet care. If you'd like photos or videos of your pet(s) from my visits, I'll happily oblige!
About: I've owned, loved and cared for dogs for my entire young and bonafide adult life. Dogs tend to naturally bond with and like me because they almost immediately know that I love and enjoy dogs. I am retired and have lots of time and an extremely flexible schedule. I enjoy the freedom to both make plans and to act on a moments notice. I talk to dogs, I exercised them physically and mentally, I cater to their needs, and I watch out for any hazards or dangers. I do everything in my power to insure that me and dogs have a positive and fun experience.
“Ian stayed in our home to care for our 12 year old German Shepherd while we were on a 3 1/2 week long trip. He took great care of our dog and our home and made sure to check in with us periodically. We loved his short updates and pictures. Will definitely ask him and Susan again if they are available for our next trip.”
“Natasha was fantastic with my cat and dog during my recent week-long vacation! She showered them both with love and attention, and was especially attentive to my little dog, Celica, who is 19 years old, deaf and blind. Celica loves physical touch, and she especially loves to go outside and sniff the grass, etc. Natasha made sure she had lots of both during her stay. She even brought my cat a home-made catnip toy, which he loves! Natasha sent me daily updates and photos of their activities while I was away. When I returned from vacation, the animals were happy, my apartment was spotless, and all my mail had been collected for me. I definitely recommend Natasha as an animal caregiver, and I will ask for her next time I go on vacation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bethany
This was our first experience with rover And I Couldn’t be happier with how our experience with Alicia went! Our dogs are very picky when meeting new people and she won their little hearts over. She was patient and more than willing to move at their pace. She quickly became their new bestie! We will definitely rebook with her. She was great at communicating and sent us soo many pic and video updates. Highly suggest booking her :) she was also kind enough to give us a discount for one of their walks as they were getting to know her - which was so kind!
Christina did an awesome job on taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She sent updates and photos daily and put our mind to ease right away. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for home. I’m hoping she will be available next time we need a sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

The average cost of House Sitting in Bethany is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $104 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Bethany 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 Bethany 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 Bethany 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.
