“Jennifer was so great and sweet with our senior fur babies. She kept us updated with pictures everyday and really made the whole experience worry free. We’d love to have her sit for us again!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a home full of personality including my two Shar-Peis (Dior and Hercules) and two tortoises(Cleo and Franklin). Caring for my special needs Shar-Pei Hercules has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important individualized care is for every pet. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, routine, or extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time (8 days per month), which allows me to dedicate a large portion of my time to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around caring for my own pets, including two Shar-Peis—one with special needs—and two tortoises. Because of this, I’m experienced in maintaining consistent schedules, providing attentive supervision, and adapting care based on each animal’s individual needs. I’m able to offer dependable, flexible care and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a loving, calm, and attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I make it a priority to follow their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I have experience caring for my own two Shar-Peis, including one with special needs, which has taught me patience, awareness, and the importance of individualized care. I also care for two tortoises, giving me experience with animals beyond dogs as well. I’m attentive to behavior, eating habits, and overall comfort, and I’m happy to follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Gail stayed with our 2 poodles while we were away. She kept us well informed of their daily activities. I couldn’t be more pleased with how she made us feel at ease as our sitter.”
“Left our cats to Shelley for a week and they love her! Shelley took good care of them and regularly gave us updates on how they were doing. She communicated inadvance if there were schedule adjustments. She was there with the cats the whole time which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I recommend her service. We will sure to be return customers.”

“Chris is amazing! By far the best experience we have had. House was spotless, all animals were well taken care of. I would absolutely book her again. Words do not explain how well she did. Thank you so much Chris!!!!!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have four of my own, so caring for pets is something that comes naturally to me. Through the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities, and I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to friends, family and others when they’ve needed a reliable sitter. I currently work a low-stress, remote job on weekdays, so I can be attentive to your pets for most of the day, whether it be taking them outside, playing with them, taking them on walks or whatever they need. When caring for pets, I make it a priority to keep them feel safe and comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, whether it be feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications and any special care requirements. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and preferences to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
“Beth is the very best! One of our pups fell ill while we were away and she was extremely caring and conscientious. The level of care was amazing. Thank you Beth!”
About: I have been taking care of various pets through Wag for over 3 years now and have had over 150 reviews with my various experiences! I am working from home so I am always available for any pet that is in need. With boarding I am always home so your pet will never be alone. I take care of all pets that come into my home or have exposure to like they are my own. I have a fenced in home and pets are allowed wherever they please.
“Hailey was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be booking her again!! Our pups loved her from the second they met her and we knew they were in great hands. Hailey went above and beyond in so many ways and we came home to a clean house and clean dogs, which was a first! The communication was perfect and she provided updates throughout, giving us the peace of mind we’d hoped for. She might have taken better care of our dogs than we do lol.. If we could give more stars we would! Thank you Hailey!!”
About: I’m excited to care for your beloved pet while you’re away. I understand that pets are like children and I promise to be a responsible and loving substitute pet parent. I am caring and knowledgeable about animals' needs and behaviors. I work from home and have the time to walk and play with your pet as often as needed. I don’t have any kids living at home and no pets. I look forward to spoiling them as if they were my own. I live in a big neighborhood with a dog park and lots of hiking trails and paved sidewalks. I also have a house with a fenced yard. I do not have any pets of my own at this time so your pet would be my sole responsibility.
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs with different needs and sizes. When I was younger, I helped my mom care for her boss’s four dogs, and once I got my driver’s license, I took over caring for them on my own. That included two small dogs and two extra-large dogs, so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I’m dependable, patient, and make sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m confident following feeding schedules, giving medications if instructions are provided, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits very well into my routine right now. I recently graduated from cosmetology school and am currently studying for my state licensing exam, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Because I’m home most of the day, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work around each pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and routines to keep things as normal as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment. I also keep doors and gates securely closed, avoid unsafe situations, and send regular photo and text updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families pets. And I always make sure to treat others animals just as if they’re my own. Making sure they are loved & well taken care of! As of Rightnow I’m currently working from home so I’m pretty much open with availability so I definitely can fit pet care into my daily routine I have a front yard and backyard and plenty of breaks to care for animals the proper way. I have a big backyard. Three bedroom house Clean and neat environment Lots of dog toys. I’m a very responsible person & safety is always first.
“We have never used Rover before and weren’t sure what to expect. We found Emily and after meeting her, booked her to take care of our spoiled dogs. I couldn’t be more happy with the way they were treated. Emily went out of her way to make sure the dogs were taken care of and that I was given regular pictures and updates on their time without us. I would not hesitate to book Emily again and would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 496 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bumble Bee. 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 Bumble Bee 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 Bumble Bee 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bumble Bee 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
