“Sara was truly a joy to deal with. She stayed in constant communication and shared all of our little Molly’s naps. Sara was attentive and kind. We highly recommend Sara and she will definitely be our go to pet pal.”
“We have booked with Laurie a second time and she was just as fantastic. Our older dog had medical changes that has effected his food and bathroom schedule and she kindly made the changes and took amazing care of them. She genuinely cares for the animals and cares for them as though they were her own. We also didn’t include the right days for trip and needed to add a day. She was extremely understanding and stayed the extra day with them. We highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 6 years and you can count on me to be reliable and caring. I’m great with all kinds of animals and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I am in graduate school but only have class for 3 hours in the morning and clinic 2 day a week so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I will be willing to take dogs on walks and play with all animals and make sure they are happy and fed. I love all animals and would be willing to follow daily activities you partake in with your pets!
About: I have had many animals, ranging from goats to dogs to chickens to horses. Have training since I was five. I have two dogs of my own. A black lab and a mini Aussie. I take them on daily walks through the park that is close to my house. If you have any questions, please ask. Thats what questions are for. If you aren't sure of something suggest it and I will tell you more about it. I dont have experience with all breeds of animals so please be patient and if your pets need special care please make a comment of it. Currently going to school part-time so I'm pretty flexible with my schedule as far as what and when I can take care of the littles. I don't offer boarding but when I am taking care of another's pet, I'll ask a series of questions to ensure any and any and all animals in the house will be taken care of properly and to your preferences

About: I currently have 3 dogs at home, and have been watching pets since I was 14. My love for animals is large, and that’s why I think I am such an exceptional pet sitter! I am a college student! I have class from 11:30-12:25 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then on Tuesday and Thursdays I have class from 8-9:20 & 12:45-3:40!! I completely spoil my three dogs at home! I love going on walks with them and giving them all the attention they desire!! I also love playing with them it allows them to work their bodies. A snuggle is nice too🤗
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and reptiles of all types. Dogs have always held a special place in my life and since I do not have one of my own right now I would love to help others take care of theirs. Have had many different breeds in my household throughout my life and am up to the challenge with their care! Passionate about having positive experiences with them and to ensure they are comfortable with my care. I currently have two dogs in my household and both are a hand full. I do work a full time job but my schedule is easy to work around since I work in the service industry. Let me play with your pup and give them my love?
About: My whole life I’ve always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped my family with our dogs from the time they were puppies. I’ve also had my own dog that had puppies and helped to raise them until they were able to leave! I currently work full time. I have 1 hour during the day and I’m done by 5 everyday! I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets after work, or when I’m off on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard at my apartment with plenty of room for dogs to run around! I do not have my own pets here with me currently so no worries if your dogs don’t like to be around other dogs! I enjoy taking dogs for walk and cuddles on the couch!
About: I have had two jobs in different dog daycare/boarding places. I also have a degree in vet assistant. I have volunteered at the local shelter and love it. I am currently working part time and have usually plenty of time in the early morning or late afternoon. My schedule does change weekly so there may be days I’m more flexible than others. I have one sweet little pup who is in training currently. My favorite thing is just being able to cuddle with her and spend time with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bowling Green on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 126 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bowling Green. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
