“Samantha did a great job watching our stubborn English Bulldog. She’s reliable and gave us peace of mind while we were gone for 8 days. Our pup has some behavioral quirks but Samantha was patient and did not have any issues caring for her. We came back to a calm and relaxed pup. Our home was also left clean. Thank you Samantha!”

About: I am a lifelong pet lover and have grown up with two dogs and one cat in my home at all times, giving me an understanding of what it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. Outside of my own pets, I’ve cared for my family’s dogs, friends’ dogs, and neighbors’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I have experience with large and small breeds, as well as dogs with varied temperaments and social behaviors, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I have a genuine passion for animals, especially dogs. I am very active, which will ensure your pet will get all the energy out that they need to. I love taking dogs on daily walks, playing outdoors, and engaging in fun activities like wrestling or fetch to keep them stimulated. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m attentive and patient, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I’m also experienced with drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care, always prioritizing your pet’s safety and happiness. I am not afraid of a mess and am committed to keeping your space clean and your pet content. Some of my skills include working with puppies as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs, ensuring their comfort and well-being. With a focus on clear communication and reliable service, I strive to give pet parents peace of mind while creating a fun, safe environment for their pet family members. As a part-time employee at a private gym and a full-time student, I’ve structured my week to balance my commitments while prioritizing flexible, reliable pet care. My schedule allows me to offer consistent availability for dog walking, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight stays, ensuring your pet gets the attention they deserve. • Monday: Available after 5:30 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. • Tuesday: Available 8:00 AM–10:00 AM for morning walks or playtime, and after 4:45 PM for evening sessions or overnight stays. • Wednesday: Available after 6:30 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. • Thursday: Available after 4:45 PM for evening walks, playtime, or overnight stays. • Friday: Available after 3:15 PM for afternoon/evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. • Saturday: Available all day when in town and when I am not cheering on the DAWGS, for walks, playtime, drop-ins, or full-day/overnight care. • Sunday: Available after 2:00 PM for afternoon/evening walks, playtime, or drop-ins. I provide reliable, attentive pet care tailored to your dog’s needs, whether in my home or yours, for services like dog walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a pet-loving roommate. My space is safe, with secure furniture and no hazardous items. The gated, fenced neighborhood offers ample outdoor space for walks and play. I can crate your dog if needed or provide a comfortable spot for them to rest. I ensure regular exercise, feeding, and care based on your dog’s routine. In Your Home: I respect your space, leaving it as I found it. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, or playtime, keeping your home clean and secure. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages, and I handle messes without issue. I focus on safety and consistency, adapting to your dog’s needs while providing clear communication. Let me know your preferences, and I’ll keep your pet happy and cared for.

About: Furbabies have been my best friends since childhood! From sitting for friends to taking care of my own, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I have house/pet sat for family and friends as well as worked at a dog daycare, so I am familiar with a variety of dog types and the care these animals need to be at their happiest! I’m currently working a very flexible part-time job, so I am able to spend plenty of time with all your furbabies! I am usually available anytime on Friday-Sundays and after 5pm on weekdays! I am always happy to pet sit and house sit overnight if needed! And am able to provide any and all kinds of walking/playing time. From being the personal driver to the park or just walking around your neighborhood, I will always bring forward a caring environment for your pet.

“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”

About: There's not many people out there who love animals as much as me. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles of all kinds, and other exotics such as sugar gliders. As a part of one of the biggest pet rescues of the Southeast, I have fostered and cared for dogs of all sizes, with all kinds of needs from medications to heartworm treatment. I've also apprenticed with an experienced and well-known dog trainer. I can read dog behavior well, and am patient and understanding with anxious, frightened, and grouchy pups. I want to make sure my client's pets have someone trustworthy looking after them; my pets have always been my family, and I know many others feel that way too. I strive to be of the utmost reliability, the one who will not let you down. I also strive to work with a client's budget as much as possible, because I know I'd want the same done for me. I currently work full-time from 8-5, but my schedule is usually pretty flexible, making it possible for me to handle drop-in visits/walks, and keeping dogs in my home. I really enjoy letting an owner know how their pet is doing. I send lots of pictures and updates. My aim is to make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their human is away!

About: My goal in pet sitting is to provide quality care specific to the pet I care for. I have worked with a variety of animals over the years including many breeds of both dogs and cats. Furthermore, I am a pre-vet student and have worked with a variety of vets, meaning I have expert knowledge on how to best work with pets. As I am a University of Georgia student, my work week is quite busy. However, I am available through select parts of the day and on weekends. Quick check ins for pet care would be the highlight of my day! I will evaluate the pet I am caring for based off communication from my client as well as my own observations. Approaching each pet as a blank slate and learning their needs with patience is important to me. Of course, constant and continued communication with my client is of the utmost importance to ensure the best quality of pet care.

About: Hello! My name is Destinee and I am available in the Athens area to help take care of and love your pets. I absolutely love being around animals and can not wait to get started working with yours! I don't currently have a dog, and I am itching for some canine affection! I am reliable, trustworthy, caring, observant, and patient and can give your pet the specific care they need. I am 29 years old and have had a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I work hard to give my pets a great quality of life, and because of this, I have lots of experience with day-to-day tasks such as feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, and playing. I also have experience with basic training, administering some medications, and smaller animals. I am always open and quick to learn so please do not hesitate to reach out with specific needs! After being away from Rover for awhile to work elsewhere, I am greatly looking forward to spending time with animals again! As of now, my schedule is wide open. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions and thank you for reading. I currently work a very flexible, part-time remote job and am available pretty much anytime needed. I accept same day drop-in visits and walks, and have plenty of free time, energy and attention to give to your furry (or not!) friends! My home has a wide open, fenced in back yard that is great for exercise and playtime. Your pet will never be left alone outside while I watch them. I will always be there, carefully supervising and playing!

About: I have been working with pets for 6 years. I’m first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I’m currently supervisor for a dog boarding facility. I work either 6-1 or 1-7 any given day. So when I am not at work I can spend my time watching your lovely pets. I have a fenced in yard. My living situation has 3 floors so I can separate your pets from mine. I rarely let dogs outside off leash just as a precaution. I have a 20 foot leash so dogs can still run and play fetch while remaining safe.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bishop

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 629 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bishop. 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 Bishop 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 Bishop 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 Bishop 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bishop. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
