“We always request Angela as our dog sitter our dog just loves her and she’s very good at always providing pictures to me and activity reports for our dog when we are gone we have never had any kind of a issue with her.”
“Kelsie hid a great job taking care of our dog. He is big and can be challenging and managed his with ease! She even watered our plants while we were gone and sent us pictures of our boy everyday. She was great at communicating! We will certainly use her again!”

“Ashley took great care of our two dogs in our home for 5 days. She communicated well and even came early when I realized I made a mistake on the start time!! We will be having her come stay again on all of our upcoming trips!”
“Zoe is an excellent house & dog sitter. She cared for our aging Belgian Sheppard’s dietary and walking needs, kept us informed with frequent pictures of his meal times & walks, and they kept each other company at night. Highly recommend (except during periods we need her again).😁”
“Good service: Good communication and promptness, excellent rates, and my dog seemed pleased. I’ll definitely use Soraya again if needed in that area (probably in 2 months from now).”
“McKaylee thank you so much for the great care you gave our sweet Amaretto. It was the first time leaving our pup since losing her sibling. McKaylee gave us the comfort we needed by sending us pictures often and staying at the house with Amaretto. We will definitely use her again soon! ♥️♥️♥️”
“Heather is AMAZING!!! This is the second time I’ve used her for my pets, Sid and Stormy. She is very communicative and takes such great care them that I don’t worry knowing that they’re in her care. She sent me photos and videos and Sid (my dog) always looked like he was having so much fun. I will only use Heather in the future.”
“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”

My time will be divided into providing for your pets and providing for our community! I will consistently engage with them, I love playing with animals or just chilling with them if they are low energy. I also love keeping everything clean for my clients so that’s a plus for you!! I do any tasks needed for your pet!
“Matthew was so communicative and reliable! It was his second time watching my pups and he was so flexible when we had to change plans around last minute due to a sick pup. He gave them medicine, and I was much more relaxed knowing they were in good hands.”
“Pamela has come over to watch my shitzu and labradoodle twice now, for 3 days each visit. She is amazing with them, they are happy to see her and get lots of cuddles. She goes above and beyond by helping pick up their poop in the backyard, helping doing light cleaning in the kitchen, and washes and tries the sheets from the room she sleeps in. Pamela is also amazing at keeping me updated multiple times a day. Highly recommend that you use Pamela’s service!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bracken
Kelsie was absolutely amazing! This was my first time ever using a pet and house sitter for my senior dog and senior cat, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. My cat has medical needs and requires oral medications twice a day. She can be stubborn and a little skittish with people she doesn't know, but Kelsie had no trouble giving all of her medications and keeping her on schedule. My dog also requires medications, and Kelsie handled everything perfectly. She sent updates and pictures twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the photos and messages that our pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. What also impressed me was how flexible and compassionate she was when our connecting flight home was canceled and we unexpectedly needed to stay away an extra night. Kelsie was able to accommodate the additional day without any stress or complications and immediately put my mind at ease. As someone who was already nervous about leaving my senior pets, her calm and reassuring attitude made a stressful situation so much easier. When travel plans changed unexpectedly, I never felt like I was inconveniencing her. Instead, I felt confident that my babies were safe, cared for, and in good hands. When we got home, both of our pets were calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our home was also in great shape. That told me everything I needed to know about the quality of care they received while we were away. I would trust Kelsie with my pets again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with senior pets or pets that require medications. She provided exceptional care and made what could have been a very stressful experience completely worry-free. We are so grateful to have found Kelsie and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Kelsie, for taking such wonderful care of our babies!
Makala was amazing with Terre! She was reliable, communicative, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What stood out most was how much Terre loved her. I got to spend some time with her myself, and Terre kept going over to cuddle with her, which says a lot because he’s usually pretty attached to me. It was obvious that he felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Brittany was absolutely amazing to my dogs while I was away. She provided detailed updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay at my home with my dogs. She even left a daily activity log outlining my pup’s potty breaks and eating schedule. She provided them with lots of love can care! I will be booking with her in the future.
Pamela was an absolute lifesaver while I was away! She took care of my dog, Zildjian, and my cat, Olive, for five days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she completely relieved my stress by being reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She came by three times a day like clockwork, making sure both of my pets were happy, fed, and well-loved. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was with updates—she sent regular photos and messages that gave me total peace of mind. Even during a horrible thunderstorm, she went above and beyond to check on them and make sure they felt safe and comforted Because of Pamela, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing everything at home was in the best hands possible. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly dedicated, Pamela is the one. I would absolutely book her again without hesitation!
I hate leaving my babies…but I was in a pinch and needed a dog sitter for a week and booked with Nancy. She sent me updates on my fur babies daily, and they were very happy and well cared for. When I got home, my house was immaculate and my dogs and my home were absolutely cared for as if they were her own. She did everything exactly as I asked, and made sure they were all comfy and spoiled while I was gone. I would highly recommend her for anyone who looks at their animals as their family. She really does love and care for them. I can not say enough good things about her and the care she provides. 10/10 recommend. If you look at your pets as family, definitely book her. I will always look to her in the future if the need arises, and I hope she will always be available. 100% happy customer here.
Ka'rynne was wonderful, checking in regularly and sending pictures and video. My dogs were very relaxed and displayed regular behavior, playing, etc... She was very respectful of my house and left it in the same condition I left it. I will use Ka'rynne in the future without hesitation.
Tiffany did such an amazing job with our Lelo! She also went above and beyond the care with helping with the watering of the plants and other helpful things around the house while we were on vacation. I would definitely recommend her and will contact her again for care for Lelo! 💕

FAQs for House Sitting - Bracken
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bracken on Rover is $38.52 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,897 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bracken. 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 Bracken 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 Bracken 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 Bracken 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.

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.
