“Pamela is absolutely incredible! She took such amazing care of my dog Parker while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for more. For the first time, I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away because I knew Parker was in the very best hands. She went above and beyond, treating him with so much love, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only being looked after, but genuinely cared for. I can’t recommend Pamela enough - she’s truly the best!”
“Roberto is absolutely amazing. He is the person I completely trust with my dog and is always the first person I ask to take care of Baloo. He provides updates multiple times a day and is great with communication and flexibility. I truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would recommend Roberto to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of animals big and small since I was 10 years old! My love for animals has grown so much over the years. I really enjoy playing and running around with all animals big and small. Going on walks in the beautiful weather is my favorite thing to do! I have trained many puppies, as far as potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I have administered medication in all forms, (I used to work for a veterinarian!) bathed them, clipped nails, trimmed fur, etc.. I also currently do volunteer work for the SPCA. I have two beautiful babies of my own my oldest is a Dutch Shepard mix her name is Willow, she is 7! Then I have my Golden Retriever, Harper she is 6! I am a flight attendant, I do have a very crazy schedule but I know my schedule a month in advance! I would be glad to help in anyway possible! I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play and two friendly dogs who love having company! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and can follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re with me.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 6+ years! I have 3+ years of veterinary background at Texas A&M University and additional vet pharmacy experience from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. I have experience administering medications including pilling and house-sitting! I am currently on remote rotation for my Pharm.D. program, so I am very flexible in my hours throughout the week! I am willing to stop by or stay to house-sit as well. I am in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit in your home, house-sit, or wherever you need it. I can also come in and let out the pets for potty breaks, or administer medications.
About: 🐾 Experienced Veterinary Professional Who Treats Your Pets Like Family! ❤️ Hi there! I'm an animal lover with a passion for providing exceptional care to pets of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities! With 9 years of veterinary technician experience and a degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University, I bring professional knowledge, hands-on experience, and a whole lot of love to every pet I care for. I understand that your pets aren't just animals; they're family. I believe they deserve the same patience, compassion, attention, and affection that you give them at home. Whether your fur baby is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, young and curious, or enjoying their golden years, I'll make sure they receive personalized care tailored to their individual needs. My veterinary background gives me valuable experience recognizing changes in behavior, understanding animal health and wellness, administering medications when appropriate, and providing attentive care to pets who may need a little extra TLC. When your pets are with me, you can expect: 🐶 Plenty of love, attention, and snuggles. 🐱 Patient, individualized care. 🐾 Experience with pets of different ages and personalities. ❤️ Medication administration and special-needs care when needed. 📸 Regular updates and pictures for your peace of mind. 🏡 A safe, comfortable, and loving environment. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your babies are in experienced, compassionate hands. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! ❤️🐾 Pet care is my full-time job, which means providing exceptional care and attention to animals is my everyday priority. My schedule is dedicated to caring for pets, allowing me to offer flexibility, consistency, and dependable availability throughout the week. I structure my days around each pet's individual needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, exercise, and plenty of affection. I love being able to give pets one-on-one attention rather than trying to fit their care around another job. With 9 years of veterinary technician experience, I understand how important routine, patience, and attentive monitoring are to an animal's well-being. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My approach to pet care is simple: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with unconditional love, patience, and attention to their individual needs. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, so I love providing care in the comfort of their home whenever possible. I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime habits. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their families are away, without the added stress of being in an unfamiliar environment. With 9 years of veterinary technician experience and a degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine compassion to every visit. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles, an energetic playmate, special medical attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll provide the same level of care and devotion I would give my own animals. Your pets aren't just a booking on my calendar; they're family, and I'll treat them that way! ❤️🐾

The average cost of House Sitting in Bushland is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $60 per night.

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 Bushland 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 Bushland 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 Bushland 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 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.

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.
