About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and amphibians, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’ve also been volunteering at an animal shelter for 1 year, so I know how to read animal behavior and handle the unexpected. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is after 5pm on weekdays and Saturday mornings and afternoons for walks and drop-in pet care. I follow your pet's routine to a T and send regular photo and video updates so you're never out of the loop. If I notice any changes in behavior I'll let you know right away. I'll leave your home exactly as I found it, follow any house rules you set, and always make sure gates and doors are secured so no one makes a sneaky escape.

“Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.”
About: I have cared for and loved animals world wide- from pet sitting locally, providing food and water and kindness to strays along my travels, to volunteering at Australia Zoo. Since I was younger, animals have always held a huge place in my heart- rescuing farm kittens, dog walking for neighbors, and swerving to avoid hitting a frog with my bike. My love goes beyond our domesticated pets - I have volunteered at a wildlife rehab so I also do what I can for our local wildlife. And I’ve seen the good the bad and the ugly when I shadowed along side my best friend in Australia during her overnight emergency vet shifts. Providing comfort and love to animal, domesticated or wild, is a true honor. I am self employed as a Massage Therapist located in New Milford. I work Mondays-Fridays and typically start between 2/3:00pm and work until 8(ish). I work one Saturday a month and those hours vary- usually a 4 hour day. With owning my own business I can set my hours- when I have notice I can always schedule accordingly to the pet’s needs. When caring for my/your pet, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that means playful engagement, gentle companionship, or giving them space. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive medication as directed, and get plenty of attention and affection. I keep litter boxes and living areas clean, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate updates and photos to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and lots and lots of love.
“Jamie was a lifesaver for me! With very little notice due to a family emergency, Jamie committed to house sitting my cat and dog for several days. She is very conscientious, reliable, dedicated and responsible. I will definitely use Jamie again. I highly recommend her,”
“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”
About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.
About: I've had cats my entire life & I have a few years experience pet sitting for and walking dogs and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.
About: I'm here to take the stress off your shoulders. As an animal lover, I’m dedicated to providing your pets with the best care possible. From long walks and fun playtime to plenty of good ol' fashioned love, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I have had a dog since I was 11 and I have also had two cats. In addition to taking care of my family pets, I have also taken care of many dogs and cats of various sizes and demeanors. I am free most evenings of the week and I am also free most weekends. I would love to use this time to take care of a loving animal. I make it a priority to get to know the animal and make sure there is a sense of trust. I want to ensure that both your animal and I are able to get along well. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing with them in the yard.
“We had a great experience with Lora! In the past, we have always boarded our dog, but she has some issues with anxiety and during our meet and greet with Lora, she suggested that house sitting might help ease some of Bella's stress around being left with a sitter. She was totally right! Bella had a wonderful time and was so much more comfortable being in her own space. Lora was respectful of our home, sent regular updates/pictures, and we would love to have her watch Bella again the next time we go out of town.”
“Chelsea was very pleasant to deal with. Our pups were very well taken care of. She was very attentive and committed to taking good care of them. We will definitely use her services in the future. Very prompt with all communications!”
“Alex is a superb, very professional dog sitter. He clearly loves animals and puts them immediately at ease-- he also left our house neat and tidy as though no one had been here. Didn't think twice about the safety of our very large dogs in his care, highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bridgewater on Rover is $33.02 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 1,928 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bridgewater. 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 Bridgewater 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 Bridgewater 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 Bridgewater 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.
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.
