“Kelsie was the perfect sitter for us! She was extremely professional, our pups loved her, and that was exactly what we were hoping for. She sent photos often, which made us smile and reinforced our decision to work with her. All communication was clear and occurred with perfect frequency. We will most definitely be asking for Kelsie again. She was very respectful of our home and has a great personality. Many thanks from us and of course peanut and Annie 🩷”

About: Hi pet parents! My experience stems from years of being around so many different breeds of animals. Senior care is by far my favorite. Even near the end, we all crave love. My beloved Samson was given all the care that any senior dog would have wanted-a present,patient, and full-of-love owner. Although, I adore and have a special heart for my senior dogs, I welcome all breeds with open arms. They are truly our angels and would be too lost without them I'm currently flexible to work seven days a week, at all hours. When my weelky routine changes I will let you know as soon as possible. Your trust are in my hands. I currently live in a two bed, one bath apartment. Plenty of space to play or relax depending on the animal.

“We had to book Pamela as an emergency because the sitter we had booked wasn’t going in to see our dogs. My dogs hadn’t used the restroom in over 19 hours. As soon as we found out I contacted Pamela and she responded almost immediately and less than 10 minutes later she was at my house taking care of my dogs. She sent me pictures of them every day and kept me updated with everything. I am so grateful to her for helping me out in such short notice and she will be my dog sitter from now on ❤️”

About: My first job was at a doggie daycare. Working there for years gave me an excellent knowledge about dog behaviors and a better eye for interrupting their needs Furthermore, I have watched family’s and friends pets on numerous occasions. I am currently a student with immense free time I am looking to fill. I am very flexible and available to work with a crazy schedule. I would do everything in my power to protect your fur-baby. Their safety is my top priority, and I would do everything in my power to keep us out of potentially hazardous situations.

“Avrielle was an absolute delight to house-sit for us while we were away. She made sure all of our pets (2 dogs, 3 cats) were cared for and loved and sent us regular updates via text/photos about their daily activities, including walks, feeding, etc. She even kept all of my outdoor potted plants watered and fountain full during a summer heat spell. Our home was kept very clean, which I also appreciate. There’s nothing like returning to a clean, cared for home. I will not hesitate to hire her again for all our future house-sitting needs. Thank you so much, Avrielle!”

About: Hello, My name is Sarah and my wife is Selina 🌈 You get two pet sitters for the price of one! We would be delighted to take care of your four legged babies while you are away or even just to walk them and check in on them. As a pet owner, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. I want to give you peace of mind that I treat all pets as if they were my own (and I treat mine like gold). My moto is pets are family and therefore should be treated with love and respect. We have had many pets growing up and currently are owners of a Maltese mix named Mavis. We regularly take her to dog parks, lakes, and dog friendly places. Mavis used to be underweight. After working with her food allergies we were able to find the perfect balance for her and now she is at a stable 19lbs. She has skin and digestive sensitivities so we know what it’s like to care for many conditions. She enjoys being around people and other dogs. Mavis also make friends easily and is always ready to play. Information you should know about us: We do not smoke or vape. Sarah works from home so your fur baby will always be with one of us. Also, we don’t leave Mavis alone for more than 3 hours at a time so in order to make this manageable, Selina will help take the dogs out and vice versa. Either way, your pet will have the proper attention that they need. Selina’s background: She has worked at an animal hospital caring for dogs, cats, turtles, and Guinea pigs. She has experience in performing temperament tests to make sure your dog will get along with ours. When we house sit we establish a visit to meet you and your pet. We can care for dogs, cats, and other pets you may have. We bring in the daily mail, take out trash & recycling, water plants, as well as perform special requests you may have. *If you contact us we will assume you are gay friendly 🌈 Since Sarah works from home she is available a majority of the day. We are up early so if your pet has an early morning routine, we have you covered. House sitting: We will visit your pets 2x a day or as needed based on your request. We will do our best to minimize pet destruction by moving items out of the way. From experience, some dogs tend to chew on items their owners have never seen them chew on when they are not around (e.g., DVD cases, remote controls, books, clothes, food packages, place mats, dog bed, etc.) we will take pictures and give you a full report on what they did. We will do our best to remove/cover items they like to get to. We are not able to stay over night.

About: Hi, I’m Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve had dogs for over 14 years and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines — reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care — whether it’s keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust they’ll be in caring, responsible hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm! Definitely flexible and willing to work with you as long as we can communicate! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to medications — and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I don’t just stop by to feed them or take them on a walk, I spend time getting to know their personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school through dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters. As a pet owner myself to both a French Poodle Toy and a cat, I understand how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family member. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented. Whether it’s sticking to your pet’s routine, cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, scooping litter boxes, or giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently earning my graduate degree through a fully online program, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available every day for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care. Because my classes are online, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so I always do my best to keep them on their normal routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed and instructed), and any special routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, secure, and tidy. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for until you return home.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bracken

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bracken is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 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 November 2026, there are 1,888 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 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.

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

  • 88% 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.
