“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!”

We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bow Mar
Shana was absolutely amazing! She watched our four dogs for a few days while we were away attending a wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was so clear how much our dogs loved her, and knowing they were happy and well taken care of made it so much easier to enjoy our time away. We would absolutely use Shana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter!
Heather saved the day when my other Rover sitter called in the morning and told me she was sick. Thank goodness Heather was available to watch Lucy (same day booking)! She was really great with her, snuggling and playing all day and night. She also kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos. I would love to have Heather watch my little Lucy again!
Sydney (and Coleman!) were absolutely amazing! I’ve had a tough run of unreliable people watching Zoey, but Sydney and Coleman were the complete opposite. They were very communicative, sent lots of updates, and were even flexible with helping when I thought I wouldn’t be home on time. So happy I found Sydney and will absolutely be booking her to take care of Zoey again!
Casey has taken care of Humphrey when we go out of town for the past few years, and she is great! This past time, she kept me extra updated on his eating because we were both concerned that he was only eating treats. I always know he is in great hands with Casey!
Sydney is great with our dog, Cleo! This was our first time having overnight care for Cleo since we moved here. Cleo is a little anxious around new people, so Sydney went the extra mile to visit and greet Cleo twice before the overnight stay. Sydney sent pictures of Cleo and checked in each day that we were away, and left our home spotless, probably cleaner than when we left! Cleo was well cared for during our trip and we’d love to have Sydney back again for future stays and check-ins
Clay was very professional and pleasant to work with. He took wonderful care of our dog, taking careful note of all requests and instructions, and gave him lots of love. We got plenty of photo and video updates and it was nice to know our dog was in good hands.
Chris was great with Tessa. I could tell during the meet and greet that they would bond quickly. When I got home it was clear Tessa had a good time with Chris. Also, the house was so tidy when I got home. I definitely recommend Chris for housesitting with your pet. I am glad I have someone I can call on in the future.
Mia did an excellent job taking care of our kitty. She also watched our house and flowers. We.will use Mia in the future and we highly recommend her. We were gone for am extended stay in Europe and she communicated with a picture every day. She also trimmed our kitty's nails and brushed his teeth nightly. And on our return our kitty was calm and loving.
We had a last minute Labor Day weekend trip and Allison was so amazing staying with Ollie and Gigi. She helped put my mind at ease knowing they were in great hands. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and when we came home we could tell that they were well taken care of and provided with lots of love. She was a wonderful house guest as well and we would 10/10 recommend. We would love to have her back for any future sitting needs!

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.
<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 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 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.
