“I really wanted to keep Brianna, but she communicates well when securing the job but her communication is hit or miss when sitting. Also, the last visit she was late and I asked for her to modify the visit to a drop in since she came late even after me asking for a cancelation. I still have not gotten half of my money back even after contacting Rover, which Brianna has nothing to do with. She was great with my pet and I appreciate that, but as a traveling fur mommy, communication is non negotiable and I still want my refund from Rover.”
“Petra made my experience here SO easy. Will meet you and sit and go over dogs needs. I haven’t met anyone more efficient than Petra! I felt safe being gone from home and leaving my pup with her. Highly recommended”
“Lori was absolutely amazing! Gave me multiple updates and pictures a day and made sure my baby girl wasn’t lonely while we were gone! Highly recommend, and will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Ken is amazing!! He took great care of Dixie (and my home) while I was away, and will definitely book him again!!! He's greatly professional and his love of dogs shines through!”
“Mya was a wonderful sitter while we were out of town. She communicated with periodic check ins complete with pictures of our fur babies. She followed all of our instructions to the letter and even left us a thoughtful keepsake. Will definitely book her again.”

“Kelly came in a very difficult time for us when we had a family emergency. Is answered immediately when we needed her and took great care of our dog and home. Kelly is truly special and I will absolutely use her again. Thank you Kelly!”
About: I am a respectful and caring sitter waiting to assist! 🩷 I currently have two dogs, a rescue named Kali and a mini golden doddle, Bentley! Over the years, I’ve taken care of my own dogs and friends/families whenever needed! I promise to be gentle, caring and responsible when watching or walking your baby 🦮 I work full time, remotely from 9-5pm. My day to day schedule is not busy and I am open to be more flexible if needed. I have an unfenced large backyard where I usually leash my dogs to walk or play. Inside my home, there is space in my basement, where my office is, to allow any dog of any size to play.
“Wonderful and kind. Will certainly work with her again. Thank you so much for your help❤️❤️ it was a big ask but she stayed over night with our pups at our house. I appreciate her diligence and consideration”
About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.
About: I used to be a dog mom to a mini poodle, unfortunately he passed away at 17 years 🥹. I have experience managing reactive dogs. My fur baby was a rescue. I love my time with dogs because they are just pure joy! I work from home 4 days out of the week (7am-4pm). I typically commute to work on Wednesdays. My job is pretty relaxed and allows me to tend to any additional needs. I’m pretty flexible overall just need notice ahead of time. I am very trustworthy and customer service oriented. I like to ensure I know everything about the household I’m going to and any details about the fur baby that I should be aware of. My goal is to keep the fur baby safe and the owner happy.
About: I have been around animal care since I was born. I have six dogs of my own, ranging from a Husky all the way down to a Maltese. I have a real passion for animals and love to take care of them. I often help out with neighbors and friends to pet sit while out of town or for a quick potty break if needed. I’m currently starting my Master’s program in August with university of west Georgia. Outside of my classes, I have free time that does not always allow for a full time job, but just enough for pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines to help your pet feel secure while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, use leashes on all walks unless you’ve instructed otherwise in a secure area, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind.
“Finding her husband a blessing to our family! her vibe is so grounding and the dogs feed off of that. I don't think I have felt this comfortable with someone taking care of my fur babies in many years. She builds bonds with them she doesn't just babysit them or check off a list. there is a relationship there and I love it. Our little guy noodle goes through a depression when she leaves. I'm glad I found Rover.”
“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bright Star is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bright Star
Not quite sure how to fully explain the peace we find leaving our family pets in Lori’s care. It is so hard to leave them when we have to travel but Lori is such an amazing care giver, the dogs actually get super excited when they see her. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with their care, and it’s hard to imagine what we’d do without her.
Riley stayed with Dr. Teeth at our place for a few days over the holidays and she was wonderful. She very communicate, responsible, and respectful, she also made sure to send updates and pictures daily. She made great progress with our skittish baby in just a few days. We’re definitely going to use Riley again in the future and would recommend her to anyone especially the skittish babies out there.
Tamera did a great job caring for our pups while we were on vacation. She kept me updated the whole trip and made sure they were well cared for! Our house was just as we left it when we returned. One of our dogs hurt herself while we were gone and Tamera has continued to check on her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bright Star
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,498 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bright Star. 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 Bright Star 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 Bright Star 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 Bright Star 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.
