“First time using Rachel & she was wonderful! Watched my two pups for a couple nights. Rachel sent a ton of photos, they spent a ton of time with her outside, on walks & snuggling! We never had to worry that our pups weren’t in Good hands because she was very communicative! Pups were happy & house was spotless when we got home… Hope to use Rachel again next time!”
“The best petsitting experience. Kate was so flexible with our last-minute booking and other changes and so kind. She sent updates and took great care of not only our pets but our home. Will be rebooking when we need her!!”
“Mitch was great with our recent rescue. Our pup had only been in the house 2 weeks and Mitch handled our dog with poise. There was the usual alert barking one might expect, but within a minute our dog was fine approaching him, receiving pets, and in less than 5 minutes our dog was on the rug laying down quietly. Mitch knows dogs, I am very comfortable with him watching our dog anytime.”
“Caleb took care of our two older dogs, both who had special diets and medications to track. He was responsive during the stay and the house was left exactly as we left it. We received pics of the pups along the way who seemed happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely use Caleb again for another home stay!”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Vlad was wonderful! I had to head out of time in a pinch and he was ready & able. He took great care of my 2 pups and my home. I highly recommend Vlad!”
“Kalea did any excellent job with our two dogs and two cats ! She took the dogs for walks and gave all the animals lots of love ! I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. Our home was well taken care of and she was great with communication. We will be using her again !”
“Brittany took excellent care of my three adult cats and two foster kittens over a long weekend in my home! Both the cats and the home were better when we returned than how we left them - she followed the pet care instructions to a tee (including one cat that needed daily medication), sent lots of photos and updates, and even brought in mail/tidied up around the house. She went above and beyond to brush the cats and spend quality time with the energetic kittens. She was a good communicator, reliable, and trustworthy and I’d book her again without hesitation.”
“Loved Daria! She was extremely flexible with my schedule for pick up/drop off of Luna. She also sent pics and vids of her during the trip to check-in. I'll definitely use her in the future to watch Lu again :)”
“Mary took such good care of our fur baby. She sent pictures and updates. Mary has stayed in our home before. She is clean and responsible. Would definitely recommend her. We will ask her to stay with Koda again.”
“This was our second time booking with Tamarine, she is so great with our senior fur kids and they love her! She is always quick to respond and takes great care of our home. It gives me peace of mind when we're away knowing our pets are in such good hands.”
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
“Felecia was just amazing with Sam and in taking care of our house. She was very communicative and so caring of him. He has some special needs, and she was the perfect person to take care of him. We came home to a happy, settled pup. I highly recommend her. We will definitely be working with her again.”
About: Hi! I'm a full-time teacher and lifelong animal lover who would be honored to care for your pets while you're away. I can honestly say I haven't gone a single year of my life without having an animal in my family. Growing up, we had everything from guinea pigs, geckos and frogs, to cats and dogs, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. When friends and family need a pet or house sitter, I'm usually the first person they call. I know how important it is to find someone you trust, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet cuddle time, or your pets just need someone to keep their routine consistent, I'm happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Being a teacher has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to stay calm in any situation. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and great at following routines, medications, and special instructions. I'll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that your home is in good hands. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays typically begin around 6:00 a.m., and I'm home by about 4:00 p.m. This schedule makes me a great fit for pets who are comfortable being home during a typical workday, and I'm available for morning and evening walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. My evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks allow for even more quality time with your pets. I'll always be upfront about my availability and will only accept bookings that I know I can give the excellent care and attention your pets deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means feeding them on schedule, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving plenty of belly rubs, or relaxing together after a long day, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. I'm comfortable crating pets when needed, administering basic care, and following detailed instructions to ensure they stay safe and happy. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind.
“Natalie was awesome to work with and wonderful with Nellie. She left our space spotless. We couldn't have been happier with her care for our beloved pet. Natalie sent us updates with adorable photos, which put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear that Nellie felt comfortable and loved in her presence. We appreciated Natalie's professionalism and attention to detail. Not only did she follow our care instructions perfectly, but she also went above and beyond by bringing in the packages. Coming home to a tidy house and a happy pet made our return so much easier. We would absolutely recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Her warmth and genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. We'll definitely be booking her again for our next trip!”
“Morgan is just amazing. Communicating was great back and forth, even when our flight plans had to change. She took excellent care of our doggies and our house. She was here with the dogs for the vast majority of the day, which was important to me. She is my go-to sitter going forward.”

Wow!! What an incredible sitter! I felt so comfortable meeting Alanna and having her stay at my home with my 3 pets while I was away. She left the house sparkling clean, she even changed my sheets and was so professional with communication and details. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking comfort knowing their kiddos are in safe, capable, and reliable hands while away. Can’t wait to book her again. She administered meds to my pup and took great care of my kitties too. Wonderful sitter!! A+
Heather was fantastic our dog Piper loved playing with her. She followed all instructions and left the house immaculate. Highly recommend her wish we had found her sooner. We will definitely be using her in the future and will feel absolutely comfortable leaving Piper with her. 👍👍👍👍
Daria was amazing with our pets while we were away. We have four dogs and two cats, so it’s definitely not the easiest house to pet sit, and she handled everything so well. Two of our dogs need medication, and all four dogs are notorious for barely eating when we leave. Somehow Daria got every single one of them to eat, even our super picky ones, which honestly says a lot. She sent us updates and photos every day, took great care of the house, and left everything clean when we got home. It was such a relief knowing everyone was being well cared for. We’d absolutely have her pet sit for us again.
I highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for reliable, attentive care. As a first-time user of house and pet sitting services, I was initially nervous about leaving my home and my dog, Lulu, in someone else’s care. She completely put my mind at ease. She did an amazing job with Lulu and kept my home in perfect condition. It is a relief to find someone so responsible and kind. I will absolutely hire her again for my future travel needs. Thank you Allison.
Rachel was an amazing sitter! She sent tons of great photos and my dog Obi was obviously having a great time with her smiling, going on walks, and getting scritches. 10/10 would recommend and would book again! Makes you feel so much more relaxed to know your fur baby is well cared for!
Maia is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care with our Parti Yorkie and Bichon/Cocker mix. Maia played with them and got in a couple of walks during the 22 hours she watched our dogs. Maia is great at communicating and sending us pictures throughout the day. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about her!
Lily was amazing! She treated Naya as if she were her own dog with lots of cuddles and treats. She took her on lots of walks and even gave her a pup cup! She updated us constantly and sent us lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend Lily to anybody, and Naya will be looking forward to her next visit with her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bow Mar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bow Mar on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,825 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bow Mar. 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 Mar 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 Mar 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 Mar 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.
