“This was my first time leaving my babies Maggie and Milo for a trip and I was absolutely terrified of it. I was very worried about Maggie in particular because she has separation anxiety and doesn’t warm up to strangers. When Elizabeth saw that Maggie wouldn’t eat whatsoever, she went to the store and bought some food that helped with her appetite. She even took Milo to the vet since nobody else could take him and began administering his meds. I struck gold with Elizabeth who went above and beyond to gain their trust and take care of them. She also did all she could to reassure me and has won my trust. She took such good care of my dogs and I highly recommend her. Definitely will be having her dog sit my babies again when necessary!”
“Taylor was awesome. My dog, Miller, loved her and was very happy while I was gone. Taylor sent great pictures and treated my pup to the same love and attention he is used to. I will be booking with Taylor again and again!”
“I have a 4 1/2 year old chihuahua who is my baby. Besides her spay surgery I’ve never left her overnight. I had to leave her this past weekend. I accidentally found Matt because I forgot to change my address after a recent move. Thank goodness I did! After the meet and greet Cammie was ready to go home with him! Dogs know good people so I knew I found the right sitter. Matt took such good care of her and sent me the cutest pics of my sweet baby girl. Thank you so much Matt! I will be using you again!!”
“Kayla is so wonderful. She is dependable and I always come home to happy animals. I’ve used her 3x so far and hope she will always be available to housesit my fur babies when I’m out of town. She also takes the best pictures of them! So happy to have found her.”
“Savannah was very accommodating and quick to respond. I have.a quirky, high maintenance dog and Savannah did a great job taking care of him and my house. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Haylee was awesome with my two German Shepherds while we were away for the day. They were happy and tired when we got home. We got pictures and videos letting us know they were having a good time!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 14 years, and that experience includes everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs—whether it’s potty training, giving medication, helping with mobility, or just being a calm, steady presence. I always tailor my care to each pet’s age, personality, and routine so they feel safe and supported. I’ve been caring for pets for over 14 years, with experience ranging from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need extra TLC. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of care needs, including potty training, medication administration, mobility support, and maintaining consistent routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my dedication, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely love animals and take the time to build trust with them, whether that means playtime for high-energy pups or a calm, comforting presence for more anxious or senior pets. I also prioritize communication and reliability, so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I currently work full-time as a professional pet sitter, which allows me to offer flexible availability throughout the week and weekends. Every visit is focused on giving your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I can do whatever you want me to do. I've taken dogs on a walk in a park before they eat. I'll play with him. Just hang them for an hour or for however long the client wants me to
“Alexis is an easygoing, fun-to-be-around lady. She listens, takes notes, asks specific questions and likes dogs even when they jump up and be rude. I wish I could hire her on a weekly basis to watch my babies, even without going on vacation, haha.”
“Had a wonderful first experience with Cathy! She was attentive, caring, and always made sure to communicate. My cat needed eye drops 3 times a day due to an infection and she did an excellent job caring for my baby. I would highly recommend Cathy!! I can’t say how much I appreciate her being so flexible and accommodating for my pets needs. Thank you Cathy you are amazing!!!”
“Alicia is a dream come true pet sitter. These little fur balls are our everything and she treated them as if they were own. We went out on a day trip knowing they were well taken care of. She sent several pictures which made us feel even better. We will definitely be using Alicia again. Thank you Alicia 😊”
“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
“Last minute vacation and we found Annie. Couldn’t be more pleased!!! She is reliable, communicates well and provided regular feedback! Annie played a lot of fetch with our 2 young labs which they love. Kept the boys happy while we’re out of town. Thanks Annie!”
About: Whether you need assistance with walking, drop-ins, or at-home care- I am excited for it all! I have been around animals my whole life growing up on a farm, and have great love for our furry (and not so furry) best friends. I am comfortable administering medications and am happy to transport pets in an emergency or if we are going on a “field trip”. In my heart, the bigger the pup the better, but I enjoy all dogs’ company and have had them ranging from chi-mixes up thru GWPs. With cats, I am experienced in assisting with kitting, and have bottle-fed orphaned kits. I currently have a dog who is cat, dog, and miscellaneous pet-friendly, and he has assisted me in caring for a number of dogs and cats. If you would prefer I not bring him to your home, let’s talk about it and see if I can still meet your pet care needs! I work part-time as a mobile pet groomer, so I have plenty of time to drop in throughout the day to spend time with your pets or take them on a walk. Irregardless of service booked, I am happy to communicate with you as much or as little as you would like about how things are going (bathroom descriptors/ images, eating details, behavior/stress responses, etc) and will take plenty of photos to send you! My camera roll is already 90% animals, so what is a few (hundred) more pictures 😆 Service Specific: Pet Sitting (in your home): If you would like me to stay at your home with your pet, I will clarify that I have a dog of my own who is extremely well behaved and has sat all of my cat and dog clients with me. I never leave pets unattended/ unsupervised together, and for times when I leave your home, I will crate or take my dog with me to ensure pet safety, though there is zero history of aggression. Pet Sitting (in my home): Currently not offering Drop Ins: For drop in visits, I am happy to bring or leave my dog- if your pet enjoys playing with other dogs and they pass the friendship-vibe check, then I am totally in support of having a drop in be a play date. Otherwise, I can spend whatever your requested amount of time is petting, brushing, feeding, walking, or cuddling with your pet- whatever you think they need or that they tell me! Walks: If your pet is dog-friendly, the more the merrier! I am comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time, and have often taken clients on walks with my dog. Walks specifics are highly dependent on your cat/dog’s needs and I am happy to discuss what you want, be it a minimum distance or time!
“Kate was absolutely amazing. She is thorough, attentive detail, kind and engaged. My animals had the best time while we were gone and I think they were sad. She wasn’t coming back! I highly recommend Kate. I’ve already booked her again multiple times!”
“He sent daily photo updates and always responded quickly about the dogs. They seemed happy and like themselves when I came back , which is a great sign since one of my dogs doesn’t do well with change. Highly recommend and will book again when needed.”
“Abby was great with my pup! She was communicative with me the whole weekend. Sent me videos and pics, and let me know how my girl was doing. I'd definitely have Abby watch my girl again anytime!”
About: I have worked as a professional petsitter for over three years and adore all animals. I’m most experienced with dogs and cats, but I’m happy to provide service to all species. I work part time and have plenty of space in my day to pay your pet(s) a visit! My work also allows me time to dedicate at all hours of the day. I follow my client’s instructions implicitly and do my best to provide quality care for their pet’s specific needs, and I am happy to do more if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Big Creek
We think Courtney is a 5 star dog sitter. We had her over before our trip to meet Benny and they were playing together quickly. After we spent some time with her we felt comfortable having her stay at our house and take care of him. She stayed with him the whole time we were gone and walked him at least 3 times a day. Our neighbors met her while she was walking him and told us he seemed happy. She also sent pictures and kept us updated which we really appreciated. We could tell Benny had a lot of play time. The house was well kept and she took care of plants and other things we asked her to do. Benny seemed sad when she left. We will definitely ask her back.

FAQs for House Sitting - Big Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Big Creek on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,563 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Big Creek. 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 Big Creek 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 Big Creek 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 Big Creek 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.
