“Abbie was the best. We absolutely would book with her again. She took great care of our dog and our home. She was very communicative about what was going on and gave thorough updates. It’s easy to tell how much she cares for animals. Your pet will be well taken care of with Abbie.”
“Erin was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with to set up the booking, asked plenty of questions to make sure Diablo and I were taken care of, and sent me picture and video updates of them enjoying each other's company. If possible, I will book her again in the future!”
“I have booked with Felicia three times now, and she has consistently provided a great experience. What stands out most is her attention to detail; she asks a lot of questions upfront to make sure she fully understands my dog's routine and comfort levels. It’s clear she wants to get everything exactly right, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I'm away. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the well being of the animals in her care. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone thorough and attentive!”
About: I've been around dogs as long as I can remember. Occasionally I have successfully taught some dogs new tricks. I can handle walking medium-big dogs. I am currently unemployed but actively searching. I would like to pet sit until I find a suitable part time/ full time job but if pet sitting goes well, I might like to do both or to be a full time pet sitter! I can take them on walks, teach them tricks, give them baths and even just chill inside with them depending on how your fur baby is feeling!
“We have booked Tyshaun a few times and each time has been great! Our babies are well taken care of, communication is amazing, and he’s very respectful. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jupiter decided to give our sitter Amanda a bit of a scare, but she handled it all right and took good care of our old man. I think Jupiter enjoyed making a new cuddle buddy. 😊”
“Abby was fantastic! She was available with short notice. I had a less than ideal experience last time I left my dog & cat with a sitter and Abby was the perfect follow up. She was so attentive and took great care of my dog & patient when my cat needed to adjust. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“We left the country for 19 days and left behind our 5 adult cats, which broke my heart because they’re my children, and I would never forgive myself if something happened to them. So it was really hard for me to leave them alone... Such a huge mental challenge that was made so much easier by Kaylee’s care, patience and attention to detail. She’s young but admirably responsible. I left so many instructions printed with pictures explaining everything about their personalities, preferences and routines that I’m sure it was overwhelming, but she was absolutely amazing and did exactly what I asked. I think she understood that I was anxious, worried and sad about leaving them alone, so she sent me pictures of each of the 5 cats every single day during those 19 days we were away from home, which I’m sure must have been a big challenge because they hid from her and my house is big, a two story house... But I needed to be sure they were all alive and okay, and she went the extra mile looking for them and taking pictures every single day for me. And because of that, she scored many points! I’m so glad we found her because it’s been so hard to find a reliable cat sitter nowadays. As soon as we got home, I could see how tidy everything was and how much care she had taken with every detail I had explained about their food, water and bowls, as well as all the cat litter boxes in the house. From now on, I don’t want anyone else taking care of my cats but her. 🙏🏻❤️”
“Samantha did an amazing job with our pups! Kept us updated, took goofy pictures, took them to the dog park and gave them lots of love. She also cleaned up my home since she was house sitting which was really appreciated. Will be booking with her again!”
“From the moment we met Monica we knew she was the one. My pups were instantly smitten (and we have a difficult old cranky one) She kept me updated with texts and pictures. She even reminded me of when I was low on some medicines. She went above and beyond! We have already booked a weekend and long vacation with her!”

“Angie house sit for my 14 week old puppy while I was at the conference for 4 days. I was very impressed by how much she was attentive to my puppy, letting me know how he was doing on a regular basis, and even training him a few commands. I came home, finding much better-behaving dog, and her notes about what she observed about my dog and suggestions. My puppy and I definitely look forward to seeing her again!”
About: I have grown up around dogs & cats my entire life. I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I prioritize safety & communication, I’m more than happy to send picture updates as often as needed so you can feel comfortable that your furry family is in good hands! I have a 3 year old, male German Shepherd who is my best friend! I offer a flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I’m happy to arrange walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other care based on my availability. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities.

About: Hello! :) I have had professional experience working with a variety of different dog/cat breeds as a kennel technician and pet sitter. I have personal experience with lizards and fish as well. I work with any breed no matter the shape, size, or age. I am currently enrolled at Tidewater Community College finishing up my general studies to then enroll in their veterinary technician program. With majority of my classes online, I am free quite often. I am determined to provide exceptional care and service to your loved ones, keeping you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing they are being cared for properly.
About: I have been a dog owner since I lived in my first apartment to my now single family home. I know the challenges that come with owning a pet in several different environments. We had our last dog for 16 years, managed all his senior care that comes with an aging dog. We now have a puppy and are currently training him at home. I currently work a flexible FT schedule remote. I find so much joy in walking our dog several times a day. I am available most mornings, evenings and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and my dog would love to play and keep yours busy! We also have a dog park in our neighborhood.
“Anna was awesome!! She was professional and she definitely knows how to interact with animals. She was great with our dogs Yoda and Marvin and she sent us photos and videos which kept us at ease as well. She is very trustworthy and we will definitely be using her for future housesitting visits!!”
“Ian was fantastic and took excellent care of our dogs while we were away. He kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed spending time with him. We would absolutely book with Ian again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bowers Hill is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $33 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 Bowers Hill 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 Bowers Hill 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 Bowers Hill 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
