About: I've been dog sitting and cat sitting from a young age, I have taken care of family pets, pets of friends, and all those in between. I've never lived without pets. I have always had a genuine love and compassion for animals, and have unconditional love for them. I graduated from the NCTA Veterinary Technician program in Junior year of High School. Currently unemployed. Even when busy, I always have time to stop by and take care of pets. I am usually available for long periods of time. I will respect your pet's personal space if they are more of an anxious pet, I had a very anxious pup growing up so I know what it is like. I will give your pet lots of love and company, and follow whatever schedule you use to feed them or administer medication. I am happy to do extra for any pet.
“Very thankful Veronica was able to come back and stay with Kelowna again when we had a last minute trip pop up! Awesome communication, great pics of our pup and we always feel very good knowing Kelowna is in good hands with her when we have to be away.”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Very flexible schedule. Grew up with dogs all of my life. I've cared for a variety of dogs.. from chihuahuas to Rottweilers. And any age. My dogs are very friendly, and could join for dog walks to make fur friends. I would love to help out with your pup, since we all have busy lives, and don't want them cooped up all day. I hope I can help out. I can do overnights, just would prefer dog walking and checking In. But we can discuss overnight stays if I work with you and your pup for a good amount of time. I can do drop bys frequently, since I have a flexible schedule. Thank you, and have a good day!
“Roman actively communicated with us and shared plenty of photos. He went above and beyond to take care of our three and I can tell that Magrat got plenty of snuggle time. Even our shyest cat warmed up to him over a few short days. I hope we can book with him again in the future. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and my friends and families. I have walked others energetic puppies and my own. I love trying to teach them new tricks and reward good behavior. I can give your pets their medicine or help with special instructions for their care. I have no problem cleaning up after them when they go to the bathroom. I am able to work any hours or days. There are a few times that I might need to go do somethings between care like errands. I have a fenced yard so I get to go outside with my dogs and play with them and I hope to do that with other dogs. I am very good with following directions for others animals.
About: Hi! I'm Mary Beth! I work for NOAA currently as a scientist. I'm looking for a productive way to harness my love of pets. My very first job was dog walking while on my paper route. I have walked, watched, and trained dogs for as long as I can remember. The neighborhood I grew up in knew me as the go to girl for pet sitting while on vacation. I am ready and willing to be of service to you and your furry family. As a fish biologist I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am very excited to get to know your pet whether it be boarding or just a quick walk. Can't wait to hear from you and care for your pet.
“Madelyn was a great sitter. She was easy to communicate with throughout her stay. Our animals enjoyed her and were happy when we came home. I would absolutely recommend Madelyn!”
“Kiaunna did a great job, house / dog sitting for us while we were on vacation. She picked up our mail and even cleaned our home prior to our arrival. I highly recommend her in caring for your pet and home.”
“Jasmine did a phenomenal job taking care of my elderly dog. I came home to find him relaxed, clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. My home was left immaculate as I left it. She is by far the best sitter we have ever had. I can’t thank her enough. She sent me a pic and responded promptly any time I sent a message.”
About: Lover of pets! I’d love to meet your furry (or not so furry) friend. I’m very active, so long walks & even hikes are totally alright by me! I’m here to help you and your pet thrive. Whether that’s walking, playing, feeding, companionship, bathing , etc. I have been caring for pets since I was a youth. Whether that was neighborhood pets, friends pets or family pet. I have experience with a wide range of ages & sizes. I used to live out on a farm for several years and care for kittens, chickens, goats, pigs, and dogs. I helped take care of newborn kittens, feed and foster trust with them. Regularly cleaning the chicken coop, feeding them, collecting eggs and just hanging out with them. I would feed, brush and hang out with the goats also clean out pen. I raised a pig for 4H feeding, caring, and spending lots of quality time with him. And then of course dogs, I spent a good amount of years caring for two labs. Running them, washing them, cleaning up their dog house, feeding them. Snuggles and cuddles of course. I have notoriously always had an orange cat in my life; however living on the farm had about 6-7 cats I cared for. Them being farm cats mostly wanting to be fed and hung out with me in the grass or came by for pets. Neighborhood cats would get pregnant leading me to foster relationships with their kittens, a lot of times rescuing them, cleaning them up and bringing them back to wellness then re-homing them. Overall, I’d love to play & care for your pet as you see fit! Ideally I’d prefer a meet & greet prior to care. I have a very open and flexible schedule; morning's, afternoons and most evenings I should be around. My work schedule is currently evenings Sunday through Tuesday. I make sure pets are fed on time always have water and are let out whenever needed. I also make sure cat’s litter boxes are well maintained.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole childhood and my neighbors dog was twice my size and walking him was no issue. I’ve had cats my whole life and am somewhat of a whisperer. I’ve taken care of rodents as well when I had a pet rat. I am always available for any pet sitting needs. I currently don’t have a job or school lined up so I am all yours anytime of the week. I love playing with pets because it makes me feel like a kid and that’s really special. I can adapt to any process you might have to care for your pets. I am a kind and gentle soul for pets to warm up too. I have the stamina to keep up with energetic dogs aswell.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 790 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bow. 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 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 , 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.
