About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.

William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!

Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years for friends, family, and as a TrustedHousesitter both in the U.S. and internationally. (See glowing reviews here: bit.ly/trustedhousesittersprofile-desiree) I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and care needs. I absolutely LOVE dogs and it is my joy to share moments with any pups I cross paths with. My approach is to follow the owner’s care instructions & routine closely to maintain the dog’s familiar routine and environment. This helps maintan a sense of calm and stability for the dog, and keeps things consistent while you’re away. I focus on attentive care with lots of play and love, reliability and adherence to care instructions, and clear communication with you, so your dog stays comfortable, and you return to a happy, well-cared-for dog & home. I am an entrepreneur and independent contractor so my schedule is my own. I am flexible and experienced with molding my schedule to suit the needs of the owners & dogs I care for. I ensure that pet and home care instructions are understood and adhered too at all times to create consistency and trust with you and your pet.

I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!

About: Hey all, I’m currently an animal care professional at an animal hospital handling boarding and some grooming and I’m currently in grooming school, I’m beginning to take clients of my own if interested! I’ve worked with sheltered animals, horses, livestock and strays my whole life. I’ve fully potty trained several dogs including my 8 year old abuse rescue becky, I love grooming in my free time and am training to become an apprentice groomer. Animals are my passion and I can guarantee that your furry loved one will thrive with me around. I’m currently working full time and also in grooming school. So currently I’m free on weekends and whenever my shifts change weekly. I can do overnights on weekends normally I offer lots of social engagement with pets during house visits. I spend a lot of time working with dogs to understand their behavior and what if any anxieties they might be facing so I can calm them down and engage them in stimulating activities that help them relax and sleep well, or get out extra pent up energy

WOW!!!! I can't say enough positive things about Lynsey's care of our dogs, cat, fish and house!!! She was wonderfully communicative, flexible, and obviously enjoyed hanging with our critters. We came back to a house cleaner than what we left, and felt so assured for the week that we were gone that our pets and house were well cared for!

About: Animals come first with me. I have lots of experience walking dogs, including nervous pups and dogs that pull. I'm patient and calm and get along well with them. Cats are equally enticing and I understand their personalities. Even ferals commonly warm up quickly to me. I am fully insured and this is my full-time gig, so your pet is my top priority. When it comes to longer care, I'm a clean and respectful overnight sitter and have plenty of time and affection to give your furry family. I have over 20 years experience with cats including training, sitting, and medications of all types. I have taken care of horses, pigs, alpacas, mice, rabbits, kittens, dogs and puppies. I do cleaning, walking, visiting, feeding, socializing, and overnight visits if desired. I am a friend to every animal I see. I have plenty of attention to share with you furry kiddo. I am reliable and have a flexible schedule. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with whatever you need. I am available during the days, weekends, overnights. This is something I want to do, not have to do, so I'm really open. Every animal is an individual and I will be respectful of your pet's personality. I can take dogs to the park, woods or beach, if desired. I want to know what you want, whether time in the yard playing, walks, quiet time, feeding, treats or restricted diet.

About: Pets have been part of my caregiving life for decades. Through years of in-home care for elderly and ill clients, I’ve walked, fed, and loved countless dogs and cats — including seniors and pets needing medication. I treat every animal with the same patience and attention I give people. As a retired caregiver, I have a flexible, open schedule and can give your pet consistent, reliable attention. I’m generally available most days and will work with you to find timing that aligns with your travel plans. I specialize in both short and longer-term overnight house and pet sitting. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d give my own. With years of experience managing households, I follow your pet’s routines, administer medications if needed, and keep everything safe, clean, and calm. Your home will be just as you left it, your pet even happier.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bluff

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 513 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bluff. 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 Bluff 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 Bluff 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 Bluff 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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
