“Monica was great! Zephyr is a 2.5 year old rescue that I have had for a year. In that time she has become a "one man dog" and leaving her for the first time I had concerns about her allowing a stranger to come into the house when I wasn't there. Monica's love for animals showed through and Zephyr fell in love with her almost immediately! Communication was outstanding and the house and Zephyr were in tip-top shape upon my return. Monica will definitely be "go to " sitter in the future. I highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter while we were away! Nikera took wonderful care of our pets and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. She truly went above and beyond when an unexpected building inspection came up, stepping in and handling everything so we didn’t have to worry while we were away. We returned home to a clean house and, most importantly, happy, healthy pets! We’re so grateful for her care, flexibility, and willingness to go the extra mile. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Elly was wonderful to work with! Our pup was well cared for and our house left in excellent condition when we returned home. We are grateful for Elly’s care and would be glad to have her watch our pup again in the future”
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.
“Jenny took wonderful care of our dog Millie while staying at our house. She left the house super clean and Millie seemed very happy when we returned. We are booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always had animals growing up! I’ve had the privilege to take care of a couple dogs throughout their whole life. So I’ve got experience tiring out puppies to lounging with older pups. I’m excited to take care of your pups and whatever their needs may be! I’ve also have experience taking care of animals professionally as a hand in a pet resort. I currently work for myself landscaping so I have the agency to make my own schedule. Happy to try to accommodate days or times that work better for you. I try to include my dogs in all physical activities if they’re feeling up to it. This usually looks like hiking or walks. I have an older dog so I have a good gauge for feeling out when he’s up to it. I’m happy to meet your dog/animal where they’re at and give them the care they need.
“Chris was an awesome dog sitter! Kept up updated on anything urgent and besides that was on time and made sure our pups were well cared for while we were away. Would highly recommend! Thanks Chris :)”
“Eron is such an amazing pet sitter. She’s a great communicator, was super accommodating of some unexpected work happening at our house (and then left the house in perfect shape), and was so good with our anxious dog. We felt very confident during our week-long trip that our dog was in great hands and would love to work with Eron again in the future!”
“Abigail watched my two pups for the first time and was able to win over my skiddish dog who typically takes a while to warm up to people. She was prompt with replies and even walked the dogs!”
“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: Ive taken care of all types of animals all my life, and have always made sure that their care is my number 1 priority. I grew up around dogs and always fed bathed and walked them, and made sure they always had the best. As an adult I have a multitude of pets including birds, cats, fish, and lizards, and have a wide range of knowledge on animal behaviors and needs. I currently work full time from 11-7 and typically have Fridays and Saturdays or Saturdays and sundays off, which provides you with time to have your weekends taken care of. Later starts in my day allow me to visit your furry friends before work and to take them out afterwards before bedtime. Your pets will have my full attention and devotion, paying attention to their attitude around me and others, and make sure that they are always comfortable in their surroundings.
“She’s amazing. We love her, we were able to travel with peace of mind because she gave us a lot of confidence. We have 3 dogs and they loved her too. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a trusted dog/cat sitter for a little over 8 years for friends and family. I also have my own pup named Bella who is 10 years old. I thrive to expand my knowledge, meet more furry friends and take on more responsibility as a dog/cat sitter. I work at a financial institution (9-5), which allow me to have mornings and afternoons free. I get up early, to get the day started, let animals out or go for walks, and fresh food or water. I don't have a lot of space in my own apartment to have many animals. I do frequent many trails that I take Bella to! I have large dog park and long walking trail not far from me. Totally up to preference, it is important for your animal to be as comfortable as possible.
“Cacey was super attentive to our puppies, sending updates and adorable pics daily. Our house looked great coming home to after a week’s vacation with the kids. Would hire her again and absolutely recommend her, especially with her ability to handle and care for a temperamental chihuahua lol. Thanks, Cacey!!”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with a 20lb Cockapoo named Bentley, and have had my lovely Lady (a 4 year old husky/cur mix with lots of energy) for 3 years now. I am a formidable and patient obedience trainer and can help train up any dog on how to walk properly, come, sit, and other basic commands. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and am proactive about the safety and comfortability of the dogs I encounter. I can handle everything from gentle older doggos to young energetic pups. I am going to be leaving to join the US Army in late December, and decided that with the time I have left at home I want to be able to enjoy it. I currently work an overnight shift for the post office and would love for this to be the job that is able to support me before I leave for basic training. I love to get outside and play with my dog, I figured this would be an awesome way to spend my time, and help out some fellow dog owners along the way! I keep the safety of my animals paramount, whether that’s driving in the car or walking down the road, I am always keen and proactive when it comes to safety.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bow is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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 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 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 Bow. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
