“Charles is responsible, professional and very easy to get along with, both for me and my dogs, who love him! I was very happy with his services and would love to book Charles again when I travel again.”
“Monica was absolutely fantastic! Our pups loved having her there, especially our dog who is terrified of fireworks. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Monica! ❤️”
“Laura consistently goes above and beyond. We had a sick pet and she took care of him like he was her own. Very appreciative of all the communication and love she shows.”
“Annabella did a great job taking care of our dog! Good communication, sent lots of photos and hung out with her giving her lots of care and attention. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have owned and cared for many animals since I was a kid and have professionally cared for animals for 3 years. I currently have 3 feline fur babies aged 12, 10, and 3 years old. One is special needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds. This includes baby, special needs, and elderly animals of all sorts. Whatever needs your pets have, I can handle! I do have a semi-part time job as a server at a restaurant. I work 5-8 hour shifts about 25-35 hours a week. I work between the hours of 11am-9pm. I'm willing to work out scheduling with you and figure out how to best meet your pets needs! I cannot care for animals in my home due to owning 3 fur babies of my own and wouldn't want to stress them or your animals out. However I am able to come to your home or take them out to a park any time you need including overnights!
“Kayleigh did an amazing job taking care of Phoebe. During the fireworks she was attentive and patient. This was my first time booking with Kayleigh and we looking forward to re-booking her in the future.”
“Makena was great with our dogs! She was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. We really appreciated her taking such good care of our home and our dogs while we were away.”
“Charis was great! One of our dogs is very anxious and scared of everyone and everything, but this didn’t phase her. She was patient with him and soon he warmed right up to her. Would definitely have her back.”
“Christina took great care of our 3 fur babies and sent us updates and photos to make sure we were comfortable that they were being taken care of - that is above and beyond. We highly recommend her for anyone living in the west valley!”
“Dina did an outstanding job looking after my 2 dogs while I was on vacation! My dogs loved her and she made me feel perfectly at ease while I was gone. She has a wonderful personality and is very caring. I plan to have her help me with my dogs again soon!”
“Brianna was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay and incredibly flexible when my plans changed last-minute, which I really appreciated. She was kind, patient and attentive to Amelia’s needs the whole time and I really appreciated the regular updates and sweet pictures as well. I felt completely at ease knowing Amelia was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her for me!”
“Tonya is amazing. My shy dog Lillie loved her from the minute they met. Tonya sent pictures regularly and my cat and dog looked happy and comfortable. I was able to enjoy my trip better without having to worry.”
“He does a great job. Always sends me pics twice a day, always plays with my pups and they always seem happy when I get home. Would definitely recommend him.”
“Juliett was wonderful! She provided consistent updates and did a great job with my dogs. She spent consistent time with them to ease their discomfort when I’m out of town. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, taken care of neighbors, friends and family dogs. I have such a soft spot for dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during the week and weekends. I have open availability on weekends. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of affection. Whether we're playing, going for walks, cuddling, or simply relaxing together, I'll make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and right at home until you're reunited. 🐾❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bumstead
We really appreciated the care our Rover sitter gave our two dogs while we were away overnight. He was available on short notice, responded promptly, and came by for a meet-and-greet very soon afterward, which we really appreciated. He communicated well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I had told him it was completely fine if he skipped our dogs' morning walk since we were only gone for one day, but he took them anyway, and I truly appreciated the extra effort. After we had already booked, I also asked if he could turn our leopard geckos' lights on and off, and he was happy to help with that as well. Most importantly, our two pups mean the world to us, so knowing they were well cared for gave us great peace of mind. They are an important part of our family, and we're very grateful for the excellent care and attention they received. Thank you, Jonathan!
Addison was such a great help watching rexin this week! She was attentive, professional, and communicated well. She had an issue with her vehicle and still was able to make the booking work and show up to complete the requested time to watch rexin which I really really appreciate especially when someone has their own things going on and still can pull through. I’d recommend her to anyone!
Laura did a most excellent job and my pets loved her. They were treated wonderfully and so was my house, left very clean and bedding & towels washed & replaced. My cat and two dogs were so content even before I arrived home from my trip. Laura also took lots of great photos. Thank you Laura!
Emily was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the start, she made us feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She was attentive, loving, and treated them like her own. We came home to two very happy and well-cared-for pups, which says everything. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely be booking Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Wow, just WOW! Kristin is a dream doggie sitter. She sent pics of our sweet elderly pup. She answered my texts right away. She has great communication skills. When we came back home, we were greeted by a very healthy and happy doggie. 🐾 The house was in perfect shape. Almost like she was never here. We give her a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve already chatted about having her services again. 😊🐶🤩🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Bumstead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bumstead on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,821 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bumstead. 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 Bumstead 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 Bumstead 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 Bumstead 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
