“I set my hat on my character choices and could only HOPE to find another sitter as loving and thoughtful as you. Your shoes will be difficult to fill. The warmth of your spirit exudes. We wish you all the peace, success and joy on your journey.”

About: Our family has had pets in our home for the last 20 years. We currently have one cat and two dogs, who loves having other dogs come to visit. We'll accept dogs for short stays, daycare, and boarding. We have a big backyard that allows for a lot of ball-throwing and running. Your dog will get lots of love and attention during their stay and will not be left alone. Because we work from home, your pet will get potty breaks and outdoor time whenever they want it. We love puppies and are happy to help with potty training. If you have been working with your dog on learning commands, we will continue that training while they stay with us. We'll update you throughout your pet's stay with pictures of what they've been doing. We look forward to making your pet a part of our family. Drop in visits will include feeding, play time, ball throwing, belly rubs, or whatever it is your pup enjoys. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to do drop-ins throughout the day between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm. I will follow all instructions that are given to me and will keep your pets on any restrictions or routine that they are accustom to.
“Stephanie was wonderful! So sweet with my baby and very communicative with me. She was extremely easy to talk to and book, and she sent the best photos so I knew my doggy was in great hands. 10/10!”
“Maryann does an amazing job! She is punctual and accommodating to my schedule. I love that she communicates with me about Penny’s visits and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy.”
“Abigail was amazing at looking after Freddy and Rufus! She made sure to take pictures and communicated with me before and after every visit which was gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Daizy is wonderful! She kept my animals and home safe while I was out of town. She kept me updated every step of the way. She also cleaned up my pups messes. I will most definitely book her services again.”
“Sophia is fantastic! She’s always there when we need her, even on short notice. She takes great care of our pups, giving them plenty of attention and making sure all their needs are met. We’re so grateful to have someone so reliable and caring!”
About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.
“Christine was great. Ours was a slightly complicated situation and Christine seemed to go with the flow and deal with whatever was tossed her way. We really appreciated her flexibility. Easy to work with. Pleasant. Bright. Fast. Goes above and beyond. (Took in our Amazon deliveries).”
“Savanah,know you are loved. So to review, you are incredible ❤️ I would recommend Savanah for any kind of furry friend. She is very well experienced and so truly loving. ❤️”
“Tonya was awesome watching my two kitties over the holidays. Punctual, friendly, and great with my pets. Did a good job with the care instructions left. She provided a new note and photos after each visit letting me know how they were doing. Great with communication too. Wonderful sitter overall. I recommend!”
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life having grown up with 3 dogs in the household at all times and 2 cats. My neighbors would often rely on me when I was younger to take care of their animals when they were away, and I have had several coworkers now as an adult ask the same of me. I love pets, and I often find that even the shyest pets warmup to me. I have lots of experience with all ages of animals, and with taking care of all sorts of medical needs they might have. I am also excellent at following directions. At the end of the day this is your pet, and I would love to have the honor of taking care of them while you are away. I am currently studying at asu west MWF 9-10 and 3-4, so depending on how close to campus you live, I will be able to come see your pets in between those classes! Tuesdays is just 8-11am, but Thursdays I teach science in the mornings to homeschooled kids, and then have class right after from 3-6, making me unavailable from 8-6 unfortunately. I am living with my grandma, so my house is not available for sitting, but I will always be respectful of your house and your wishes on how you like your pets to be taken care of. I am also comfortable with creating when I leave if that is something you do.
“This was my first time using a service like Rover. Shelby was very patient and helpful with making sure I and my dogs were set and safe while I was away. She was very attentive to my pets and gave them lots of love. Although my dogs are on the lazy side, she still made the effort to try to play and give them some stimulation during the 30 minute drop in's.”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and always loved them, I currently have two dogs, 4-month old Golden Retriever, and a 8 month old Mini Australian shepherd. I love taking of them and love to be a dog’s best friend. I work at a warehouse from 4am-9am and usually have the day to myself afterwards so I thought it would be nice to earn some extra money along with making new fur friends. I am very respectful when it comes to other peoples home’s and animals. I am also very active and perfect for taking dogs on walks/runs. I also love to relax when the chance is given so if you need me to come check in I gladly will and make sure your animals have everything they need for both owner and pets to feel safe.
About: I work at an animal shelter and advocate for the care of my animals. I am also currently going to school for veterinary medicine and have also taken care of family and friends pets when needed! I am working full time at a shelter/vet hospital so I am mainly available on Tuesdays all-day and Wednesdays before 5pm! I can also drop in on weekdays after 4pm if needed as well. I have a love for animals and have professional experience so handling your pets will be no issue! I make sure my animals have a lot of playtime as well as enough socialization to get them through the day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bumstead
I can’t say enough good things about my dog sitter. She is truly compassionate, loving, and caring with my two Frenchies. From the moment she arrives, it’s clear she adores them—and they adore her right back. She takes such great care of them: she plays with them, keeps them happy and engaged, and stays on top of all their needs. My dogs are energetic and full of personality, and she handles them with patience and genuine affection. She even spoils them a bit (in the best way), which they absolutely love. I regularly get thoughtful updates and photos showing how well they’re doing, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re safe, content, and thoroughly looked after. She’s reliable, warm, and just a wonderful person. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dogs like family, she’s the one.
Kylea took such sweet care of my two kitties while I was away! They loved all the neck scratchies and extra love she gave them and she even looked after my plant babies 🌱 She was reliable and has many animals herself so she is clearly a fellow animal lover!! 🫶🏻
Bella has been watching my puppy twice a day since he was 8 weeks old for 2 months now. She has always been on time, shown great care, and has done a phenomenal job taking care of my dog while I’ve been at work. She has been extremely trustworthy, responsive, and always sends pictures with every visit. She’s an excellent sitter who I’d recommend to anyone.
This is the second time I've used Savannah to watch my two cats. It's nice to know they are in such great hands while I'm away - I don't worry about them at all. She takes the time to interact with them and treat them as I would. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Kimberly is simply wonderful. She truly loves animals and it shows in the way she cares for my dog. She's professional, attentive, and always notices the little things that might need attention, which makes me feel comfortable knowing my pup is in good hands. I'm so happy I found her and appreciate everything she does. I wholeheartedly recommend her—she'll treat your pets with the same love and care.
Laura is awesome! She is super communicative, kind and so attentive to our fur babies and their needs. Loved the photos she sent, too. Laura was flexible and very understanding throughout our booking. When we were unreachable during our trip, she coordinated with our neighbors as needed. Highly recommend and so grateful for her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bumstead is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,627 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bumstead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bumstead. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
