About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs. I currently have a 8-year-old Australian Shepherd and live with a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. I enjoy walking all dog breeds and sizes, and can help leash train your dog. I currently work remote Monday-Friday 8am-5pm with a one hour lunch break and am fully free on weekends. This leaves plenty of time to take care of your furry friends during the morning, midday, and evening. I would need internet access and a desk or tabletop during weekdays. I am open for FaceTiming, calls, and communication whenever needed and am particular about following instructions provided by the pet parent. They know best about their furry family members! I am also very strict about proper and comfortable leashing on walks or any time outside without a fenced in yard.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a kid, animals have been a big part of my life. My grandfather owned a farm, where I helped care for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and many other animals. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand the unique needs of each animal. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to keeping pet parents informed. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you'll always know how your furry family member is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and respect. My goal is to earn your trust by providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pet while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I plan my day around each pet's needs and routine, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's a quick drop-in, daily walks, or overnight care, I'm committed to being dependable and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive the best possible care. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment while following your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any medication or care instructions. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a secure environment. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay alert to my surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I'd give my own.

“I can’t thank Jacqueline enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment she took care of her, I could tell how loving, caring, and attentive she was. She treated my dog like her own and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Jacqueline was wonderful with her, and I truly appreciate all the love, patience, and attention she gave her. I would absolutely recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. ❤️🐾”
“Claudette was outstanding! We couldn’t have had a better experience with her. She communicated regularly throughout the day and took perfect care of our two dogs, sending pics and videos every day. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve watched over 5+ animals and house sat for over 3. I have 3 pets of my own my dog Lexi, my cat Jinxy, and my newest cat itty bitty. I love animals and have been around them my whole life. I can’t recall a single moment i didn’t have a cat in my lap or playing outside with a dog I’m currently in school at Polk state until I’m out for the summer. But a typical day in the life if me includes me getting up, getting myself together, and getting my animals what they need. Mondays and Wednesdays I am more available Tuesday’s and Thursdays I have school ,until the end of may, and I’m available more in the afternoon to evening. Weekends I’m fully available. I take care of all pets as if they were my own fur babies. I make sure to let them out regularly, take them for walks to get some energy out, clean the litter DAILY, make sure they are feed, have water, and make sure to clean their bowls after use.
“Sarah is great! My dog is very needy and requires a lot of attention to remain comfortable. Upon returning home after their first visit I walked into my dog happy, sleeping and very content. It means a lot when your dog sitter treats your dog the same way you do so that the time away is less stressful on your pet. I will be using Sarah for watching Mona Lisa over and over. Thank you!!!”
“Christie accommodated our last minute request to care for our precious Stella. She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy ourselves. Christie also administered Stella’s medication, and Stella is feeling so much better now thanks to her care. Thank you, Christie, for taking such wonderful care of Stella!”
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
About: My love for animals began at an early age. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was always surrounded by beloved family pets, especially dogs of many different sizes and personalities. Those experiences taught me how to respect each pet’s unique personality, recognize their boundaries, and earn their trust. Today, I’m the proud pet parent of two adorable cats, and I bring the same patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection to every dog and cat in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the kindness and responsibility I would want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give each pet plenty of time, attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available throughout the week and can adjust to your pet’s established routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions while respecting your pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I never force an interaction if an animal needs time to feel comfortable and build trust.
“Haylee was wonderful throughout the stay. She was very responsive and sent pictures of my pup which made my day. Haylee was also very flexible which helped tremendously since we are here on vacation and I didn’t know anyone else that could help. I highly recommend her!”
“Sara was wonderful!! This is as the first time leaving our 3yr old very anxious yorkie. We were very nervous pet parents and had a very long list of directions for our baby and home. Sara didn’t mind at all and was very understanding of our needs. Sara stayed with her the whole time did everything we asked. We came home to a clean home and happy dog. We are definitely grateful that we have someone to watch our dog for future events. Thanks so much Sara”
“We have two senior dogs (15 and 11) and we were very nervous and hesitant to board them during our summer vacation. We initially booked them for boarding at a local daycare but didn’t feel comfortable. We were about to cancel our trip a week before, but Jeanna was an answered prayer! I found her profile on Rover on a whim and after reading her great reviews and checking her profile I decided to see if she would be available. After inquiring, she quickly responded, scheduled a phone interview an hour later and even offered a second meet and greet just to calm our nerves and get acquainted with our dogs and family. She was very professional, calm, honest, responsible and genuine. Our dogs were very comfortable with her within minutes of meeting her. We booked her for house sitting for 10 days and are so glad and relieved to have found her! On the day we were to travel, our flight was delayed and she was very flexible coming to our home when we needed her to. During our vacation, she eased our anxiety and we felt at peace as she constantly updated us daily with pictures and reports on how they were doing, eating and sleeping. She also updated the dogs letting them know when we were coming home. Our dogs felt right at home, even though they missed us! Jeanna took amazing care of our senior dogs with medication, food, water and play time. She also took great care of our home while we were away and left the place just like we left it. She gave great care, affection and love for our dogs and Chloe our youngest is already missing her!! We highly recommend booking Jeanna for your pets and can’t wait to book her again for our next vacation! Thank you for everything!”
“Kristina was GREAT! We will absolutely be having her watch our pups again. She went above and beyond which meant the world to us while we were away from out furbabies. 10/10 would recommend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 612 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bowling Green. 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 Bowling Green 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 Bowling Green 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 Bowling Green 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.
