“Andrea did a house sit for our 2 cats for 3 nights after a quick meet & greet. I could tell right away from the meet & greet that she knew her way around cats and that my cats felt at ease around her. She was so great and we felt relaxed and at ease on vacation knowing she was with them. She was able to give our 14 year old cat her medicine, which is not the easiest thing, without issue. She followed all the instructions and sent us some really great pics of our kitties. We will definitely be re-booking and as frequent travelers having a trusted long-term sitter that gets to know our house and cats is very important to us so we are beyond happy to have met Andrea!”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nikera! She stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was well cared for, and it was clear everyone received lots of attention and love. She also went above and beyond by staying late to accommodate our travel schedule, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful travel day much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated knowing our pets and home were such good hands while we were away and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Sarah was great! She took the time to meet with me ahead of time to review Lucy's special needs. She even did research ahead of time so she would be familiar with her disorder. She arrived on time and communicated quickly every time I reached out. Lucy seemed very happy upon my return. She helped keep the house in order and even watered my plants. She is extremely kind and caring. I have fully confidence in leaving Lucy in her care. I will definitely continue to request Sarah as I need assistance.”
“This weekend trip was our first since moving to NH in 2023. Prior to that, after a disastrous experience with a housesitter (not Rover) in 2018, we did travel but to places where we could take our dogs. I share this as background to explain my apprehension for having another house-sitting experience. I am happy to tell anyone reading this that Liam restored my faith that there are caring and diligent housesitters for people like me! Liam's caring manner and awareness of potential problems (he let me know that one of our dogs had not eaten yet; knowing my dogs, I suggested a solution and said dog ate everything!) Additionally, despite our telling him we were enroute home and he could leave, he chose to wait until we returned home! I would say this was above and beyond providing great service!! If you are PARTICULAR like me about who takes care of your fur babies, I would highly recommend allowing Liam to sit for you!”
“Excellent experience! This was the first time leaving our pets, two of them elderly, with someone other than family. We came home to relaxed happy pets! Christin “Sal” checked in with us daily and let us know all was well. I will most certainly use Sal again!!”
“Heidi had great communication throughout our trip with both daily texts and photos of our fur babies. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving our dog and cat for a whole week but Heidi took great care of them and the consistent updates kept my mind at ease!”
“Amaiya was amazing! My dog Sasha loves her. She took her on multiple walks throughout her stay and gave her all the love I would normally give her. Amaiya is very communicative as well as shares a bunch of photos so you know your pet is taken care of. I am happy to know my dog is in great hands when I book. Amaiya!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sonya provided while we were away! She took amazing care of our dog, giving him lots of love, attention, and exercise, and it was clear he was very comfortable and happy in her hands. Our home was spotless when we returned. Sonya kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is responsible, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime!”
About: Working professionally with animals at a chain pet store, I oversaw operations having to do with the care of dogs of all ages. I prioritize keeping your dog healthy and happy- through walks, runs, playing with them and allowing their energy out, as well as being there for them through all the support they need. I offer part-time pet care services in your home Monday through Friday 4pm and later, overnight care when needed, and am available all hours Saturday and Sunday. I only provide care in my clients home, considering I have 2 cats of my own at home, and prioritize an environment that caters to the animals healthy and safety. They are there more than us!
About: I have cared for pets for more than 18 yrs in both Fla and New England. Always willing to travel with you or to your home. I am able to schedule pet sits in advance as needed. Always reliable loving and caring and aware of pets needs. I love the pets. I offer care in your home as well as water plants etc. I will do whatever is asked of me to do for the pets and the families.
About: My family has owned both dogs and cats for most of my life. As a kid my daily chores would often include feeding and walking the animals, and of course cleaning up after the ones that I begged my parents to get. A majority of out dogs have been larger breeds including an Alaskan Malamute, American Bulldog, German Shepherd, and multiple lab mixes. Since moving out and having an apartment that does not allow animals, I occassionally voluteer dog walk at a local shelter. I currently work part time at a restaurant and have availability over a variety of times of the day to take care of your pets! Before entrusting me with your pet, I'd like to have a conversation about anythig specific they may need or issues they have that require extra attention. It is also important to me to have an emergency plan in case aything were to happen.
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.
About: For all of my life I have had animals. They bring sheer happiness to my soul. We currently have 3 seniors - 14 yo cat since a kitten, an 11yo small dog adopted in 2025 and a 10 yo dog we rescued when he was 4 months old. I understand how important it is when going away to know your furry friends are in good hands, safe and cared for. Those things make the experience of being away so much more relaxing. That is what I am here for, to help you relax and not worry that your pets are being stressed. Getting to know the unspoken needs and nuances of animals in my care is a main priority. Each of them has their own personality which, when recognized, makes the time together positive experience for all involved. I do work a full-time mainly remote job that offers flexibility to support the needs of animals in my care. While in my care, I am attentive to their needs keeping them on any type of schedule for continuity of care. My yard is partially fenced allowing me to offer a tethered sense of freedom for your dog. Cuddles, love and walks are absolutely on the menu.
“We were so happy with Kimberly! She stayed at our home for a week and took great care of our dog and cat. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel at ease while we were away. We’d definitely recommend her!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Bow is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $73 per night.

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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
