“This was the first time I’d left my cat for this long. I’m glad Ella was his sitter to take care of and spend time with him. She was consistent and took the extra time and effort to pay attention to him and watch the house. Ella is very reliable and I definitely feel comfortable having her watch Gordon again if I go on another longer trip.”

“Sydney was fantastic! This was our first time using an in-home Rover sitter for our puppy, Theo, and she gave us complete peace of mind while we were away for six nights. She sent regular updates and photos, took great care of Theo and our home, and was very responsive throughout the stay. Our flight home was delayed, and she was kind enough to stay an extra couple of hours, which took a lot of stress off our family. We came home to a happy puppy and a house that was just as we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring house sitter.”

“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, especially being new to the area and a little nervous about leaving our pets with someone new. We have an anxious goldendoodle who has never been left alone before, along with our super chill cat, so finding the right person was really important to us. Lauren went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable from the start. She was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive to our doodle’s needs, which immediately put us at ease. During our family outing, she stayed with both of our pets and made sure they were safe, calm, and well cared for the entire time. It was such a relief knowing they were in such capable and compassionate hands. Our doodle warmed up to her, which says everything, and our cat was happy and relaxed as well. Lauren is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. We are so grateful we found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

She did an excellent job with my nine-year-old dog. She was respectful of my home and all of my property, also placed everything back exactly where I left it. I will definitely hire her again to watch my fur kids. Thank you again, Kayla. I had a really great time and was able to enjoy myself on vacation, knowing that my animals were well taken care of.”

About: Ive had dogs since I was growing up with two of my own now. They are like my children. We love when our friends visit and bring their dogs too! I like dogs more than people I work full time in a school district so I would be available for evening walks and/or stop ins (anytime after 3:15pm) with your 4 legged friends. I treat everyone's dogs like family. My own dogs are my kids. I am confident in my ability to watch and care for your sweet babies.

About: I have a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up in a family that always had pets. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I have also provided dog walking and pet sitting services for friends and family, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications when needed, taking dogs on regular walks, providing exercise and companionship, maintaining their routines, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention and dedication, ensuring they receive the same love, routine, and care they would at home. I will be beginning a new job as a PA in the near future, but until then I have a very flexible schedule and can devote 100% of my time and attention to the pets in my care. Even as I transition into my career, I will only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet continues to receive the reliable, attentive care they deserve. You can trust me to be reliable, punctual, and highly communicative through every visit! treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your pet's routine. I am highly trained in reading animal body language, comfortable handling medical emergencies, and will send you daily photo updates for complete peace of mind.

About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.

Isabella was great! She arrived right on time, kept us updated while we were away, and took good care of the dogs and our home. Everything we asked her to handle was taken care of, and it was nice knowing the dogs were in good hands for the night. We came home to everything just as we left it and happy pups. We’d definitely feel comfortable having Isabella stay with them again.

Ari was wonderful with our little pups and cat. She sent daily updates, pictures and video. My one girl, Sophie, had an accident in the house and Ari had no problem cleaning up after her. We give our dogs a mix of home-cooked food and kibble - Ari had no problem with dispensing their food all week. We will definitely book with her again! Ari is very personable and pleasure to talk with. She came out 2 times before our trip to meet with our little ones. She really made us comfortable leaving our little guys with her knowing they would be in good hands!

Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Morgan V did a great job house sitting overnight for our 3 dogs and two cats.she sent multiple photos and sent updates. All three of the pups needed medications ( they are 10 - 15 1/2 years old ) and Morgan handled the job perfectly. One of the pups was stressed from a severe thunderstorm and Morgan alerted us that she was keeping him close to comfort him. The entire crew seemed stress feee and quite happy once we returned home. Even our one cat, who is painfully shy and never comes out of her room when visitors are in the home, allowed Morgan to see her and take a photo. We will definitely keep Morgan V on our preferred sitter list. Thank you Morgan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bowmansdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bowmansdale is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 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.

As of October 2026, there are 830 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bowmansdale. 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 Bowmansdale 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 Bowmansdale 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 Bowmansdale 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bowmansdale. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
