“Sheyna was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our time away. Our pets were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved the attention. We would definitely book with Sheyna again and highly recommend her.”
“First time using Rover and I will be a repeat customer! Aly was amazing!! 💕 She took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a wedding. I love the updates and pictures. Made me feel content in knowing that my fur babies were well taken care of! I plan to reach out to Aly again when the next opportunity arrives.”
“Monica was GREAT! She showed up a few minutes early which I appreciated since it was our first meeting. She was organized and listened (without judgment) about my quirky Tibetan Terrier who has separation anxiety. She sent photos during the short visit, which wasn’t really necessary but showed her diligence and caring. Will definitely ask her back!”
“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!”
About: current pets: 2 hermit crabs (5yrs), frenchie mix rescue (1yr) previous: dogs - newfie, black lab, husky, chihuahua. cats - several, mostly of stray lineage i have experience giving general meds to cats and dogs ie pills, eye drops, even with the most finicky of cats! not afraid of getting scratched either, it happens especially with meds. Your pets’ needs will always be met under my care and I am fully transparent with my pricing & tech savvy; if you have any questions during the booking or issues with the Rover system, never hesitate to ask questions about any of the aforementioned topics! *if you are 20+ miles round trip from my home (10 miles away) a service fee of 15 will be added to the booking upon initial request* I am typically fully available on weekends as I am a cleaning lady during Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, let me know if you are interested in cleaning services as well! I also respond very quickly most of the time, especially if I have/am around your pet (unless we are becoming best buds and we are distracted) Rover card always includes pictures. I usually message an ETA before I arrive in case of alarm systems or similar. When in your home, I follow the care plan and instructions given to a T and ask questions if necessary/applicable, door is always locked behind me upon entering. Check for messes, follow routine; my only deviation I typically do is adding (filtered, and if possible) water to the pets food, dehydration is very common in AZ. And most pets love it, highly recommend it! I also clean bowls, take out trash, and wipe down countertops. Double check all doors and windows are secure/not broken and that AC is working before locking up and heading out.
“Kalin was great as always! Sending lovely videos and photos and always following any requests or directions left. My one dog can be a little picky about people and she loves to cuddle with Kalin, which is the best recommendation I could ever think of!”
“We wanted someone to stay at our house with our mini schnauzer Oscar and Kaylyn first came over for a preview and Oscar and she were buddies right away which is unusual for him. We knew Kaylyn would do and great job and she did. She sent tons of pictures of Oscar and they played a lot and he slept on the bed with her. Kaylyn left the house tip top even vacuuming the floors and emptying the dishwasher. Tops in our book!!”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have trained just as many. Big or small, I care for them all. I have an open schedule. I've got plenty of time to care for the cuties. I'm available from early in the morning to late at night. Firstly, I make sure the pet is used to my presence, I then try to build enough trust for the animal to let me pet them, I will then proceed with my duties.

Families rely on me because I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s routine and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent grad, with a full time work schedule, I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and extended stays to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time if boarding is needed. I do live with roommates, so I'm unable to offer boarding at my person home. When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds! I am animal lover who is also patient with pets that can be shy at first. I love going for walks and going to parks with pups that are into that and I'm also good for a snuggle with the older pets. I'm very clean, reliable and trustworthy as a house guest. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I work a part-time job in Surprise Thursday-Saturday. My shifts are typically only 5-6 hours long, so I'm very available to care for your fur babies! My other job is also part time and is remote so I am home with my computer much of the time. I'm very outdoorsy so spending time in the yard, going for walks and playing at the park is almost as much fun for me as it is for your pup! My dog, that has passed away, was a runner so I understand the importance of utilizeing a good leash and making sure all gates and doors are secured properly.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years, starting with family pets and continuing with my own dog for the past 8 years.

I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding, walks, play, and quiet time. I keep their space clean, safe, and comfortable and give consistent updates for peace of mind.
About: I have had dogs all my life, I have experience caring for and walking them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bumstead
I feel like Jonathan was very good with my dogs. He was with them for 5 days. Both my labradoodles like him. I think he has a kind spirit. That was my main concern. Joathan was good on the job. Dog run was clear. house looked good, Kitchen was clean, all bedding was in the laundry room........What's not to like! J
Annabella was incredible! I have never had a better pet sitter!! She sent me updates and photos every day! Ella is very anxious, and I did get her some medication in case she had any issues, but she never needed them. Annabella was so wonderful with her; I think Ella may have been disappointed that I came back 😂 When I returned, the house was spotless, and Annabella left me 3 beautiful photos of Ella. I have found the only person I will leave Ella with, and I would even adjust trip dates to make sure Annabella could stay with her! We Absolutely love Annabella!!!! ❤️
We had a great experience with our dog sitter! She was reliable, took great care of our home and our dog, and kept us updated while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. We would definitely have her take care of our dog again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Jade! She took excellent care of our pup and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her🐶🐾
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. 😊🐶🤩🐾

The average cost of House Sitting in Bumstead is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $52 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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.
