“Molly did an excellent job watching our dog at our home. Our dog can be a handful, but Molly followed all our instructions to the letter and clearly knew what she was doing. She took great care of our house too. Everything was exactly as we left it when we got back. Communication was easy and reliable throughout the stay. I highly recommend booking with Molly. She will take great care of your pets and your home.”
“Cleo was absolutely wonderful with my eccentric little cat, Pickles! They understood all of his little quirks and sent the cutest pictures and videos along with daily updates. Pickles was in great hands! I will absolutely book with Cleo for my next trip :)”
“Emma was great and seemed to make our dog, Zoom, feel entirely comfortable! She stayed with him the whole time and kept us updated that he was doing good. We never felt worried while we were away and trusted that he was safe the entire weekend. We would 100% book with Emma again in the future!”
“Truly goes above and beyond with Stitch and he is so happy and calm with them! I cannot recommend them more and they will always be a go to for me when I’m going out of town. My dog has a few quirks so it’s hard for me to leave him with others when I travel but I feel 100% comfortable when they are watching him!”
“I am always glad when Robert is available to house sit my cat and dog. With him, my dog gets to take many, long walks. My cat likes to be near him, that is not true of everyone.”
About: Hello! I love dogs! I’ve had two dogs in the past, one dog for 8 years and one for 6 years. Since my most recent dog passed away, that's opened the opportunity for me to watch peoples dogs. I’ve volunteered at the Huron Valley Humane Society. Completed dog walking training, blue dot training and problem dog not allowed out with the general public yet training. If you want your dog not only watched but showered with love, I’m a great choice. I work from home, so have great flexibility. Having a schedule that fits your dogs shouldn’t be a problem. Hope you find what you are looking for. Your dog will be showered with love. Happy to have them sleep in the same bed if they are allowed. I love making dogs feel special.
“Lauryn did an amazing job caring for our dog and sitting our house. She was highly communicative and clearly cared about our dog’s well being, going above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for. We will absolutely try to book her again in the future!”
About: Dogs have always been an essential part of my life, and I'm lucky to have two sidekicks of my own - a senior dog and a tripod. They've taught me a lot about being patient, paying attention to what each dog needs, and making sure they are comfortable and cared for. I'm also confident giving medications and caring for senior dogs who need a little extra attention. My dogs are definitely my adventure buddies! We regularly run, hike, travel, and backpack together, so I'm happy to keep up with an active pup (including runs!) or spend a quiet afternoon hanging out and giving a lot of snuggles. I'm also a teacher with 20 years of experience, so I'm responsible, patient, organized, and very used to caring for other people's most important things. I am First Aid and CPR certified (for both humans and pups). I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away! I'm currently working remotely, so I will have plenty of time to care for all your pup's needs! I'm used to building my days around walks and feedings. I'm also active and spend a lot of time walking and running, so I enjoy keeping up with active pets, as well as those who prefer a slower pace. I'm happy to work a pet's normal routine into my day, whether that means a morning walk, midday potty break, medication, or simply cuddles and company. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I treat them like my own! I'm careful about doors, gates, and other safety concerns. I follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and exercise schedules, and give plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I will also keep you updated with lots of photos so that you can relax and know that your fur babies are in good hands!
“Yareli is wonderful! She was so sweet with my recently adopted dog, and he loves her. She was super communicative with updates and pictures and she took great care of him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets, and I’ll definitely be asking her to watch mine again, too!”
“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.”
About: I am an animal care professional with a degree in animal studies and over a decade of pet sitting experience. I have worked extensively with dogs and cats in environments such as boarding facilities, training centers, shelters and more. I am also familiar working with various exotics. Animal care is my passion and as your sitter I can guarantee the best possible care for your pet. I provide loving house sitting in your pet’s own home! I work full-time during the day, so pets should be comfortable spending the workday alone. I’ll be there for evening cuddles, care, and companionship, keeping their routine in mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities! I’ll care for them in the familiarity of their own home, follow your instructions, and keep their environment clean, calm, and secure. I am here to carry out their normal routine as best I can while caring for them as if they were my own.
“Josie was very sweet and our dog loved her! Even our cat who is very afraid of people came out of hiding to meet Josie. She was easy to communicate with and sent me cute pictures. Thanks Josie!”
About: I've had 15 years experience with pets, senior and young dogs. I started dog sitting around 16 years old. I can feed, walk, bathe, and give medications if needed. I have multiple animal handling experience from pets to livestock. I have shadowed veterinarians and taken some veterinary education courses. I'm available for pet sitting through the weekdays and weekends. I can also provide walk, potty, and feeding breaks about every 2 hours during the weekdays and weekends. I live in a home with a large yard. I live close to park for walks or for other exercise. I also have experience dog sitting within the client's home. I am quite, clean, and respectful inside others homes.
About: Hello! My name is Leila (pronounced Layla), and I am 25 years old. I am looking for a role as a pet provider of any fashion needed. I consider myself a kind, nurturing, and supportive individual who loves every pet or family member as if they were my own. With over 15 years of pet experience, I have worked in shelter facilities and lots of individual homes with many different pets. Most recently, I've been providing nanny services for date nights in my area and every house has one or more fur baby that I spend my time with. I am familiar with feedings, walking, medication techniques, and even one house I sometimes help take their dog to the vet with them! I have worked with cats, dogs, ducks, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, and when I was younger, I had a house with horses as well. I've worked with up to 6 dogs at once, all big/energetic dogs, so I know how to handle big and loving energy haha! I even know cat and dog CPR from learning online and doing research on my own in case I ever need it. I love learning new facts about animals and pets, and I definitely love to learn the basics of emergency situations and care too, which always comes in handy whether you need it or not. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet(s), building a special bond and friendship with everyone involved. I strive to be a dependable person and always aim to provide my best support to others. Hope to hear back from you soon, thank you for your time! I usually have an open schedule and I’m always happy to help however and whenever. I’m usually at home with my own animals anyways so I’m always down for more fuzzy cuddles! I treat each and every animal as if they were my own (and I spoil my pets like crazy)! I follow the instructions of each family down to a T if that’s what needs to be done and if there is any room for my own input or festivities, I always try to make it more fun or loving or easier for everyone involved. Pets have emotion and feelings just as much as babies do, so if you’re going to care for any animal, treat it as if you’re raising a baby, something precious and sweet, because that’s what they are.
“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bridgewater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 945 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 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.
