“Andrea was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our three dogs for three nights / four full days, and it was clear from the start how patient and loving she was with our boys. Two of our dogs are older and require frequent potty breaks and medication, and Andrea handled all their needs with so much care. She was especially loving and attentive to one of our older boys, who was having a really difficult time with us being away. Andrea stayed in close communication throughout our trip, sending regular updates, pictures, and videos. It was obvious that the dogs were comfortable, happy, and having a blast playing with her! We returned to a house that was clean and exactly as we had left it. She even washed the linens and towels and started the dishwasher before she left - an unexpected and incredibly thoughtful surprise after a long day filled with travel delays and a late arrival home. We don’t go away often, but the next time we do, I would ask Andrea to stay with our boys again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her!”
“Dawn did a great job. She sent photos, texts and even called to check in to see if I had any questions or concerns. The dogs seemed to really enjoy her company. The house looked great when I got back.”
About: I had a pet dog growing up, and I have frequently dog-sat for my parents. I now find myself under employed and looking to make some extra money while spending time with dogs! I'm currently working part-time, with the option to work from home, so I am extremely flexible. I live in downtown Concord within walking distance of 3 parks, so near constant access to the outdoors is a bonus! I live in an apartment that allows dogs of all sizes and breeds. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do live on the ground floor and have a lead attached to my deck for when I'm hanging out on the deck I also have a pet cat, so ant dog staying in the house would need to be cat savy.
“We are incredibly grateful to Sophia for the extraordinary care she provided to our large boy Mosey, while we were away for a week. Not only was she able to manage his unique temperament, but she also handled an emergency with confidence. After Mosey tangled with a porcupine late one night, she did not hesitate to find an open emergency vet and get him the care he needed. She showed good judgment and professionalism and treated Mosey like he was her own. We returned to a dog who was safe, healing and had clearly been well cared for. Sophia really is exceptional, especially when faced with the unexpected.”
About: Hi! I’m Sammy, and I would love to hang out with your pets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I raised everything from a guinea pig to a cat and two wonderful dogs, so I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals, they're family. I’ve been pet-sitting and walking dogs for over 9 years, starting in high school. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs a solid outdoor run, a leisurely neighborhood stroll, or a cat who just wants a cozy companion and mealtime company, I’m your person. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I take pride in giving every pet the exact mix of fun, care, and attention they need. I’m also happy to host your dog in my own home! Whether you need drop-in visits, a fun walk, or a cozy home away from home where your pup can relax and get constant love while you're away, I've got you covered. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands, and you can definitely expect plenty of photo updates along the way! I can’t wait to meet your furry (or squeaky!) best friends. I’m currently a law student with an extremely flexible schedule! My classes are spaced out so that I'm never gone for more than 4 hours at a time, giving me plenty of free time during the day and evening to devote to your pets. I am more than happy to host dogs in my own home, offering a safe, comfortable, and cozy spot where they can hang out and get constant love while you're away. I live in a pet-friendly duplex situated in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with low traffic, wide sidewalks, and great routes for peaceful daily walks. My home is clean, secure, and fully set up to give your pet a safe, cozy space to relax without hazards. Because I’m never away for long stretches, I am able to closely monitor visiting pets, keep a structured routine, and give them the attentive care they deserve.
About: Everyone always asks me why dogs are so nice to me and quiet and I’m not really sure but I love all animals! So I hope you can trust me with yours! I work full time but after work I’m always available usually and on weekends. I’m very lenient towards everyone’s schedules so take your time! Don’t worry I will only be going to peoples homes to pet sit or walk because I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately maybe one day when I get my own house though!
About: My house is basically a zoo — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 😂 I’m a pet mom to a pittie, a husky, a chorkie and two elderly felines so I have plenty of experience with big dogs, little dogs, crazy energy, stubborn personalities, and cats who believe they own the house. I genuinely LOVE animals and will treat yours like one of my own. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime, nonstop cuddles, or would prefer to judge me from across the room for three days before becoming my best friend — I’m here for it. Expect lots of love, attention, and photo updates while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I work as a server/ bartender and typically my younger sister and I will tag team pet sitting and drop ins to ensure someone is always present to care for your companions! I do not have a fenced in yard but plenty of space inside and out (leashed) and access to multiple parks, walking spots and hiking areas.
“Heidi as always did a great job of taking care of my dog & cat and was incredibly communicative. They are both on new meds and she took care of everything seamlessly, on top of working with me to coordinate when I was stuck on the west coast unable to get home due to a snowstorm.”
“Melissa was so friendly and amazing at keeping our minds at ease while being away from our fur babies!! She goes above and beyond to make everything comfortable for them and tries to give them the best experience she can while with them. Would definitely book again in the future!!!”
About: I have been caring for pets (of all kinds- dogs, cats, birds, reptiles) for as long as I can remember, whether they be my own or my friends and family’s. I’ve done petsitting professionally through River and similar apps for about 7 years now. I have several regular clients in the area and I just love being a part of so many pets lives in this way!! :) I’m currently working full-time in downtown Concord, but I have some flexibility with my schedule and I am more than happy to work with you to find an arrangement that works best for everyone. I can offer mid-day potty breaks or work remotely when needed to ensure your pets are well cared for & happy. I also offer a rate reduction of $35/night if we find that additional drop-ins are needed. I’m an experienced house sitter and I take respect & privacy seriously. I’m very clean and make it a point to leave every home even better than I found it. I treat every home- and every pet- exactly as I would want someone to treat my own.
“We returned home to a very calm and happy dog. We were so thrilled with Keirsten. She took terrific care of our dog and our home. We have already rebooked with her and will do so again.”
“Veronica was fantastic! The girls really loved her and she kept us updated with pictures. It was a great comfort to know the girls were in such good hands. We and the girls look forward to you babysitting in the future.”
About: I always had a family dog, but since getting my own dog, I've learned how train inside and outside of the house. I love doing activities based on the dogs breed. I have experience house sitting for two senior dogs. I also have experience doing drop-in visits. My current job allows me to accommodate dog visits and dog walks. There is no boarding at my home. I am accommodating, just reach out! I live in an apartment complex that is dog-friendly, and I do a lot of outings with my dog to different parks, trails, etc. The current care I provide for the two senior dogs I visit is feeding, letting them out in the backyard, and administering medicine.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles since I was 14. There’s no greater joy for me then being able to provide a happy, reliable, and safe experience for others furry friends. As an owner of four cats I know how our little friends make such a large impact on our everyday lives and the worries that come from wanting the best care for them. I’m especially passionate in elderly, and pets with disabilities pet care and understand their types of needs like medication schedules. It’s be a dream being able to help care for them. I also love to send lots of photos to the furry friends family to let them know their routine is being followed. I am self employed as a party princess entertainer and my schedule is very flexible. I am an active person who enjoys hiking, long car rides, as well as reading in my down time. I’m looking to be more active in my community since my partner recently began working from home and can provide our own pets more quality time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When house sitting or walking, I care for every pet in their own environment and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding and walking routine, medications or special needs, favorite activities, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. During walks, I focus on safe handling, staying aware of our surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise and enrichment. During house sitting and walks, I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, cleanliness, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: All my life ive been around animals. From dogs, to cats, to ferrets and beyond. I love learning new animals and all their personalities! Can't wait to meet your fur babies! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your pets around my schedule. Usually I have Wednesdays and Sundays off, and im usually home by 7. When you need those late night dates nights, to when you just need a break, i can always be there to help! I am a 22 year old animal lover with a strong passion for helping people in whatever they need! I am more then willing to help clean up a little if you just need a mental break, or if the animal im sitting just needs some extra care, whether that be accompanying you to the vet, or getting them out of the house for a bit, so you can relax. Pet ownership goes both ways, and I know how important both sides health goes.
“Alexis did an excellent job with our Wheaten Terrier Harley for a 3-day house sitting job. She watched over our home and pup, took her swimming and walks and kept great communication with us. She was even engaged in a neighborhood situation where someone’s dog got out and she was able to return him to the rightful owner, who we knew. THEY too are extremely grateful. Alexis will certainly be on my top list for future weekend travel plans!!”
“Indigo stayed for a few nights to watch my dog and cat giving them lots of cuddles walks and keeping me apprised of how everyone was doing with frequent updates and photos. Indigo left the house spotless and would be welcome back anytime.”

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 Bow 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 Bow 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bow 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!

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.

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 .

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.
