“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”
“Sophia was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and flexible throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she was so kind and caring with my animals, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
“Anna stayed with our dog Ginger for an extended weekend and she was fantastic! From the meet and greet to photo updates, we could tell that our anxious dog loved her and felt comfortable around her. 10/10 and we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“We were on vacation for a week and Erica was wonderful as always with our German shepherd. She truly cares about the family, home & pet she is caring for and we appreciate all that she does to help us! She’s always our first pick & we highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Reilly was an outstanding dog and house sitter for our three dogs (10 days). He provided frequent updates and photos, kept the dogs happy and relaxed, and followed our care routine exactly. Our house was spotless when we returned — better than when we left it. Reliable, friendly, and clearly experienced with pets; we’ll happily hire Reilly again and highly recommend him.”
“Cody was wonderful. He arrived on time, he was thorough with our pets, you can tell right away that he is empathetic and loving, and he updated us with pictures often. He also left our house spotless. Thank you, Cody. We would definitely recommend you!”
“Melanie is amazing!! My girls loved her. My little feisty one even seemed to love her as much as she loves me! She spent plenty of quality time with my girls. They walked, played and had plenty of cuddle time. I received daily updates and pictures which made me feel so much more comfortable with trusting someone new. She’s the best and I can’t wait to book with her again.”
“If you can get Brittany to dog sit/house sit, you won't be disappointed. She's incredibly professional, punctual and connects immediately with your animals. My senior dogs bonded quickly with her and seemed disappointed that I was the one that came back. She was also very responsive and would send pictures occasionally of how they were doing. They seemed to have the best time with her. Just book her, she's incredibly gifted at this.”
“Meghan was a terrific dog sister. Our little 8 pound Maltese looked like he loved every minute of his time with her. She took him on long walks, play time and sent us pics everyday. We could tell by the look on his face how happy he was with her. couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”
About: I'm comfortable working around dogs of all ages and breeds! I'm a dog trainer outside of Rover (I'm not offering training services, but I have experience working with many different kinds of dogs!) I'm currently free on weekends, as well as Monday nights! I work Tuesday through Friday, and sometimes I work an early shift so I could stay over on a Monday night but I may have to leave early the next day. I'm just looking to make sure your dog has a great experience while you're away! I'm willing to set timers to make sure they're taken care of and whatever else you're looking for. I used to work as a Firefighter, so I have lots of experience working in the homes of others and making sure their things are kept tidy.
“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”
“Sheridan was great watching our two dogs and cat at our house while we were gone! She even came over a week early to meet us and the dogs which we really appreciated. She was very communicative, sending great pics every day where we were gone. Will definitely reach out to her for future sitting needs!”
“Sandra is a great pet sitter. Our dog was very well cared for and we felt very comfortable the entire time we were away. Took great care of the house too. Already booked her for more trips.”
“Morgan was so sweet and patient with our pup, who typically experiences some anxiousness. She had the magic touch to make her comfortable. Morgan communicated updates and shared photos, and made sure our girl was safe and happy. We will definitely work with her again!”
“Penny took amazing care of my Nala. Sent pictures every day, which made me feel so much better about leaving her while I went away. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to take care of my fur baby. I would recommend Penny for anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.”
“Emily is extremely kind and communicative! She sent me photos daily of my pups, she followed my instructions to a T, she kept my house extremely clean, and I would recommend her to anyone! My dogs were so happy when we came home and that tells me everything I need to know about her. She’s the best!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bexley is $46
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bexley
I can't say enough good things. We were a little stressed about leaving Guapo (our anxious and sometimes reactive pittie mix) with someone new on short notice over the holiday weekend, but Bishop was willing to come do a meet and greet prior to staying over and was absolutely great. Guapo took to him easily and was so well cared for - I also appreciated the quick check ins and pics to reassure us he was doing okay. This was such a relief and we will definitely reach out for future bookings!
Reilly was an outstanding dog and house sitter for our three dogs (10 days). He provided frequent updates and photos, kept the dogs happy and relaxed, and followed our care routine exactly. Our house was spotless when we returned — better than when we left it. Reliable, friendly, and clearly experienced with pets; we’ll happily hire Reilly again and highly recommend him.
Sophia was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and flexible throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she was so kind and caring with my animals, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.
Bella was amazing for housesitting during my two week trip! This was my first time leaving my dog alone and she made me feel so comfortable. She provided me with daily updates and photos on how he was doing! Was very attentive and nurturing with him! And made sure she asked a lot of questions beforehand so I felt comfortable she was very prepared for things I hadn’t even considered when leaving him. She is amazing with dogs. Cannot recommend her enough!!!
Sandra is the very best. We were gone 23 days and Sandra stayed with my 18 year old cat and gave her exemplary care. We were out of the country and she sent us updates and pictures every 2 days. I would not consider using anyone else. Thank you Sandra you absolutely exceeded my expectations. ❤️
Deanna is the dog walker we've been looking for! She was able to help us last minute and was absolutely amazing. Her communication was perfect, we never wondered how our pups were doing or what services she was providing. She is our new go-to dog walker, and would recommend anybody.
Chelsea was fantastic housesitting! This was the first time leaving my dog with a non-family member for a week, and Chelsea did a great job. She provided updates at least twice a day with pictures, made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime even with tons of rain during the week, and always made sure to raise even the slightest concern - which lets me know she always had his best interest at the top of mind. I’ll definitely be asking her for future house/pet sitting needs!
We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Ashley on such short notice ahead of the holidays. Our dates were in flux and we couldn't book as far in advance as we would have liked. I was VERY anxious booking someone new for a full week (as our normal sitter was not available) especially given we have a senior cat that requires regular meds, but Ashley did everything in her power to make this paranoid cat mom feel at ease! She stopped by for a meet and greet ahead of the booking. She sent loads of pictures and updates, including regular updates on how my senior boy was doing taking his meds. Both cats seemed very comfortable with her as evidenced by the snuggles my senior cat gave and the very limited number of hisses from our spicy girl. When we got home, the house was in impeccable shape and Ashley even brought in our mail/packages, which I greatly appreciated! We will definitely be rebooking with Ashley next time we need someone to watch the buddies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bexley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bexley on Rover is $35.52 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 1,531 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bexley. 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 Bexley 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 Bexley 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 Bexley 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.
