“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!”
“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.”
“what a relief to have Essence stay with our aging boy, he's 17 and love her! We will be using Essence again and again. She is a total pro and we never worry for even a moment even when she is there.”
“Ben took great care of our pets while we were out of town. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates he provided and how quick he was to respond when we messaged him. The only downside is now our dogs might expect even more walks than we provide them when we’re home.”
About: I have been taking care of pets all sizes and ages for over 6 years both in and out of the home. I make it my personal mission to love and care for your babies so you’re able to be away knowing they’re being cared for just the same. I am currently in school and working part time which gives me my evenings and weekends free to take care of your pets. I have my own fur babies at home and one of my own so finding time to take care of others pets when they need it not only benefits you, but also me! I have experience with all types of animals and their routines. I am experienced on crate and litter training, active or non active. I am able to keep up and adapt to any animals needs and create the best routine and environment for them.
“Noor took great care of our pups! She was kind, professional and communicated throughout the care of our pups. My husband and I are very pleased with her service! Would recommend Noor to anyone seeking care of their pet. Would rebook!!”
“Sarah is THE best sitter! My two pitties fell in love immediately and I felt completely at ease on my trip knowing she was home with the girls! I will use Sarah every time we need a dog sitter again! Thank you Sarah!!”
About: I love all pets and animals! I truly believe that pets should be treated just like human babies. They need love, affection, and to be treated kind because they have feelings too! I have been dog siting ever since I was 10 for my mom's coworkers/friends. Love all sizes and breeds! I also grew up with 2 cats so I love them too! My schedule is very flexible! I do work full time, but I don't do much on the week days after work and am able to stay over when needed! Also love watching movies and getting outside if the weather is nice! I will treat them like my own dog and or cats. I think it's important to understand a pets needs and make sure they are meeting it. I will also send lots of pictures because I love getting pictures of my dog when I leave!
“Jamie was amazing with my two crazy boys! I felt super comfortable with her and her daughter at my place and she sent me messages / pictures all weekend. I’ve already booked her again! You won’t regret choosing her to take care of your pets.”
“Laken was instant friends with our little guy! She communicated very well and made us feel like Otto was in good hands. Otto looks forward to spending more time with Laken! Thank you! 😊”
“We are so happy we found Cece!! We have a large crew of fur kids that require a lot of attention and some special needs. She is amazing with them all! We can’t wait to have her back.”
“Such a wonderful person to have take care of our babies! Maude was always updating and sending us pictures! They even cleaned our litter box for us and we didn't even ask. Would book again if we ever need a sitter!”
About: I used to have a dog of my own when I was younger and I took care of my neighbor's dog when they were away from home often. I took them for walks, fed them, and gave them baths. I work from home so taking care of pets during the day fits with my schedule. I have time to take pets for multiple walks and potty breaks during the day. I have an open living room space for pets to walk around in and have toys to play with. I also live near a park so I can walk dogs in a great, open place.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bexley is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bexley
Paige was incredible! She communicated and problem solved quickly and consistently to give our 3 high energy dogs an amazing experience their first time with a dog sitter. She left the house spotless, and the dogs happy and tired :) I would definitely rebook Paige and recommend her to anyone!!!
I can’t recommend her enough! She took such amazing care of Bingo while I was away for the weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept me consistently updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear that Bingo was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. She also left my house incredibly clean, neat, and tidy, which I really appreciated. She went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog and your home is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter. She’s the best, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Jennifer was great, very communicative and was able to squeeze us in relatively last minute. She came for a visit and was both professional and easy to talk with. Throughout her time she gave us regular updates on our two cats that helps keep us present on our trip. We would definitely recommend her!
Karson was great! She kept me updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much better being away from my dogs. Everything was taken care of when I got home, and she even took the trash out before she left, which was so thoughtful. I’d definitely book with her again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our senior dog! He took such great care of her and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was punctual, attentive, and incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout our trip so we always knew how she was doing. It’s not always easy leaving a senior dog, but his patience, reliability, and genuine care made the whole experience so much easier. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and we would absolutely trust him with her again. Highly recommend!
Ashley is always kind, warm, and communicative throughout her stays with my pup. She is one of my go-to sitters! She takes such good care of my senior dog and makes sure she has all her medications and sticks to her routines. I trust her and can fully relax while I’m away!
Miriam did a great job housesitting for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She watered flowers and put the trash out as well as the car she gave to my kitty. She also contacted me when issues came up regarding the house, which I greatly appreciate appreciated.
Wow, I can’t say enough about Autumn, she is a genuine good soul and great pet sitter. She did a great job keeping us updated and when we got home we could tell our pets had been well taken care of while we were gone. She was also very respectful of our home and everything was spotless. Thank you Autumn!
Ashly is great - she sends occasional photo updates so you know your babies are doing great and communicates quickly. She also brought in packages (even big bags of dog food and litter trays we didn’t realize were coming while we were gone) and helped keep an eye on the garden while we were out! She was also flexible with us changing dates when we wanted to get home a night sooner to see the babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bexley is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,467 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 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.
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.
