“Taylor O was the perfect sitter for our fur baby. She arrived on time, was very responsive to our communications, and took great care of our home and fur baby. Taylor stayed in our home for our recent 2 week vacation. We had never been away from Jinxie for so long and it was stressful for us and her. Taylor understood our concerns and sent daily photos, texts, and updates. It gave us peace of mind to know that our baby was being well-loved and taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Taylor as a kind and nurturing sitter. We will definitely be using her again for future trips.”
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
“Chloe was great! Our pups warmed up to her nicely. She was very responsive to texts and sent lots of pictures. She was also flexible when I had to adjust the day our housekeeper was coming. I would definitely work with Chloe again.”
“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.”
“Fallin is wonderful! She kept us updated the whole time. Our dogs were well cared for and loved while we were gone. When we got home, the house was spotless! Would definitely recommend!”
“Savannah was amazing! She kept me updated with pics and even let the littles sleep in bed with her! She was patient with my stubborn little boy and treated them with so much love and care. Ill definitely be working with her again.”
“Cathy is amazing! Highly recommend. We have two spoiled yorkies. Cathy gave them excellent attention and care while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updates daily. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were in great hands.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog lover for years—starting with family pets like Golden Retrievers and Shih Tzus. In 2014, I got my own dog, and a year ago, my wife and I welcomed a Bernedoodle, Whiskey, into our home. I’m passionate about giving dogs safe outdoor adventures and lots of love. I also care for other pets—tortoises, lizards, birds—so I’m open to small animal care. While I don’t offer cat-only services, I’m more than happy to care for dogs in cat homes—just no cat cuddles due to allergies. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I have a very reflexive schedule and I can plan my day according to walks or visits. Let’s find the best time for me to come spend time with your dog! I provide drop-in visits and walks only, as my new home is too small for boarding. During visits, I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor exercise, and I’ll follow any care instructions you provide.
“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.”
“Amber has been walking/sitting our dog for a while now. She always goes above and beyond and is very caring. You will not find someone more attentive and willing to help than her!”
“Haylee was diligent with her work for us dog sitting during our vacation. We came home to happy, healthy pets and that was a result of her. Great work and we highly recommend Haylee.”
“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 😊”
“Sadie did a great job caring for our home and dog. She was prompt, communicative, and sent photos while we were away. She left the house tidy, and we felt very comfortable having her in our home. She was easy to work with, clearly experienced with pets, and we would happily recommend her.”
“Autumn is an absolute dream! We had her house sit and stay with my two French Bulldogs while we went out of town for a few days. She was absolutely amazing! She kept me in the loop, sent tons of pictures and took such amazing care of them. It was really great for my dogs to be able to stay in their own home and receive the kind of attention they are used to, especially since it is difficult for me to leave them being that they are naturally an anxious breed. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was gone—I knew they were in great hands! We will definitely be contacting Autumn anytime we need help with them :)”

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 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 4,523 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.
