“Erin really went above and beyond for us. Just before we were about to take a long planned vacation, one of our kitties came down with a virus and required multiple medications, including IV fluids. We were so grateful to have found her profile. She is an expert cat sitter, with the background as a vet tech and was able to administer all the medications as needed while we were gone. Also, she kept our house was in tiptop shape. Best of all, when we came home and our sick kitty was back to being himself. We couldn’t have asked for more. Although we don’t have dogs, I’m sure that Erin provides the same expert care for them as well. We will be having her back for sure.”
“Fatima was great with our needy senior dog while we were away. She gave lots of updates with photos and let us know how it was going throughout the weekend. Our house was in great shape when we returned and even our very shy cat seemed to warm up by the end. Would definitely recommend Fatima to anyone looking for in-home sitting and we hope to use her again in the future!”
“Denise again did wonderfully with my pups! This is the second time she’s house/dog sat for me and sends lots of updates! Thank you Denise! We will see you again soon!”
“Jackie is amazing- I asked her to watch Tucker very last minute, and she was SO accommodating. She sent so many pictures/videos of Tucker and he absolutely loved her!! I will definitely book with her again!”
“James was amazing with my two big dogs and house sitting while we were away for a few days! Easy communication, adorable pictures, and somehow pacified my wild 2.5yr pit/mastiff mix. Highly recommend booking with him.”
About: I have my own dog and cat, and have taken care of animals through dog walking/sitting almost my entire life. I pride my self on trying to understand pet’s needs and make their life better. I just graduated with a Masters from the School for Environment and Sustainability and love being outdoors with animals! I take the dogs out for their daily walk La and play with the cats daily and ensure all animals are fed on their normal schedules Genuinely pets are family and get treated with respect and trust. I know they get bored and lonely and I would love to bring them a little joy while spending time with them.
About: I have walked some dogs before as well as staying at their houses. Little ones and big ones. I’ve taken care of two senior dogs. I’ve let some of my neighbors animals out or if needed I went and fed them. I also work at a doggy daycare I work a full time job at a doggy daycare. I am free Monday and Friday afternoons. Mornings of Tuesday-Thursday and I occasionally work Saturdays 9-5. I am free everyday of the week for snuggles with your babies I unfortunately don’t get to take my dog out for walks often but when I watch other dogs I play outside with them and take them on walks because they usually live in a neighborhood. I feed them when needed and I give them medicine if they need it.
“The best pet and house sitter we have ever had, hands down! It was so nice relaxing on this recent family trip knowing our home and furry family members were in such good hands. Absolutely recommend!”
“Marcin was wonderful and attentive to Murphy. He communicates effectively and keeps me updated daily. I appreciate his diligence and care for my dog. Murphy was happy and calm when I got home. I will surely ask Marcin to be the sitter for Murphy again.”
“Karla is super flexible and really nice. She stayed at my house to watch my cat and dog. She sent pics every day so I knew they were all happy and comfortable. The house was neat and tidy and the pets were great. I’m totally hiring Karla again!!”
“Seth watched our dog Blue in our home for four nights, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. He was professional, respectful, and easy to communicate with the entire time. What stood out most was how much genuine time he spent with Blue. He didn’t just cover the basics, he played all of Blue’s favorite games, like chasing him around the couch and playing with his favorite toys. It was clear he really cared about making sure Blue was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. When we got home, Blue was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for which is exactly what you hope for when you leave your dog with someone. We could tell he hadn’t been stressed at all while we were gone. Seth also took great care of our home and left everything clean and in excellent condition. We’d absolutely work with him again and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter.”
“This was my second experience utilizing Rover house sitting. Communication was excellent with photos and prompt replies. She even mopped the basement and cleaned the kitchen sink area, which was an added bonus. My understanding was that she and her husband would stop by 4 times a day and walk the dogs. The house smelled good upon arrival and my pets appeared to be in good health & spirits. In addition, she is a retired vet tech. So, yes, I would consider having the couple house sit again.”
“Jada did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs! She provided thorough and timely updates every day, and she truly put me at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. Couldn’t ask for a better dogsitter!”
About: Hello! Our family loves dogs. We've had two dogs in the past, one dog for 8 years and one for 6 years, the latter having recently passed away. In between having them, my wife has fostered a half dozen dogs from the Huron Valley Humane Society that just needed a break to unwind. Your dog would get three times the love compared to just one person taking care of your dog, as both me, my stay at home wife, and my 9th grade daughter would be taking care of them. Dogs love the wooded, fenced-in backyard. They would have the option to sleep in my daughters bed. Since our most recent dog passed away, that's opened the opportunity for us to house and love other peoples dogs. Our dogs and our friend's dogs were allowed to go on the couch and sleep in beds with my daughters. Your's would have the same opportunity, if you allowed it. Prefer dogs that don't whine. Also, if there is something we normally have out that we will need to put away, we are not interested. For example, if your dog will chew on our coats or blankets, it wouldn't be a good fit. Also, my 9th grader needs her sleep. Drop offs and pick ups only between 8AM and 8PM.
“Rafael took great care of Lucy over a long weekend. He also cared for the home really well and was very responsible. He kept me in the know everyday and shared photos. He also took it upon himself to clean up right before the end of his stay. Overall a great experience for both Lucy and for us.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,023 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bridgewater. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
