“Alice was so patient, kind, and attentive with my two senior cats. Her daily updates gave me so much peace of mind while on a multi-week trip to visit family. I trusted her to take care of my pets like they were her own, and she even did a few extra things like bringing in my mail. Alice is the best! I definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
“Candice did a great job with our doggos!! They were so tuckered out by how much she played with them. Candice sent regular updates of our pups while we were gone. Definitely will be using her again in the future ?”
About: I personally have two dogs, several cats and a pet pig. I care for them/bathe them and gave them their shots/vaccinations that were needed. I take them to the vet when they aren’t feeling well. I work at a car dealership. My schedule is usually Monday-Friday from 9am-7pm & Saturday 9am-6pm, but can vary depending on my last customer I get. I will play with your pets whenever they would like to, I can help potty train them as well. I can try to teach tricks if they do not already know any. I will feed them the proper amount of food when it is time.
About: I treat each pet with care and support and am great at sticking to schedules and keeping pups and cats and even more busy! I am a hard worker and I keep my word. I work part time but always off. During the school year I’m in and out of the house but love to spend time with my pets! I live in an apartment and it’s always locked and safe! I feed my dog 3 times a day and play with him all the time!
“Kristina took AMAZING care of our dogs! She took them in her house as they were her own and gave them all the love, attention and care. Her dogs were so friendly to them! She was very thorough and kept me up to date with lots of wonderful photos and messages throughout their stay. Went out of her way to pick them up and drop them off as well. Will be a repeat customer!!”
“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”
“Thank you so much Tisha and Wayne for coming to our house in San Antonio to stay while we were on vacation. You took great care of our girls as you always do. We are so glad you were willing to come to our house to watch the dogs. We really appreciate the fact that the girls could stay in their own place and have a lot of fun playing with their buddies too. Tisha and Wayne are such great people and we felt completely comfortable having them stay in our home while we were away. (this is the first time anyone has ever stayed at our house without us being there too.) We hope we can do this again in the future!! Love you both!”
About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.
About: I've had pets for over 40 years. I have fostered/rescued both cats & dogs. They have all been indoor pets. I currently provide pet sitting for close friends and family both at home and in their homes. I am single and currently working part time. I have plenty of time for home visits, walking your pups or just coming over to play and feed them in the mornings, evenings, weekends or whenever needed and/or scheduled. I have a fenced in yard and an indoor/outdoor cat that is very friendly with all animals and loves to play with dogs. My cat is runs free I can do the same with your pup or kennel him,
About: My family has always had pets. Growing up, we had dogs of every kind and size. As an adult, we have had several pets, but currently have one husky named Luna and one cat named Darcy Binks! They are well loved. Let us bring our care and affection to your sweet pets! I'm a homemaker mom of six babies, one dog, one cat, and 8 kittens. My kiddos will all be in school and out of the house, so, I'm wide open on scheduling. We have a fenced in yard and a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for easy walking. We can play with your pets after feeding and watering. After the last visit of the day, we will clean and dispose of any droppings in the yard, so you can come home to a clean start!

“Kyle watched my two dogs and my house while I was gone for a week and did an amazing job. I even ran into an issue and did not have some medication with me that I needed and he did not hesitate to send it to me with overnight shipping. He really saved my vacation by doing that and I will always be grateful. My dogs are like my children and I was very anxious about leaving them for a week but Kyle really put my mind at ease and gave me a lot of updates while we were gone. My dogs were happy when we returned and my house was immaculate. Thank you again Kyle! If I could give him more than five stars I would!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bishop on Rover is $33.3 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 185 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 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.
