About: Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats in my family since birth and dogs since I was about five, and I was taught early on that loving animals means taking responsibility for their care. Over the past 10 years of living on my own, I’ve cared for my own dogs, a cat, rats, and reptiles. They’ve all had different personalities and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each animal feel comfortable and secure. The handsome pup in my profile photo is my dog, King! I have a particular soft spot for bully breeds and their big personalities, but my love for animals doesn’t stop at any breed or species. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, respect their quirks, and give them patient, attentive care while you’re away. I plan pet care around my work schedule, accepting bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. My dog, King, is staying with family in New Jersey while I work toward getting my own place in Florida. Caring for your pets lets me do something I love while working toward bringing my boy home! Animals have always seemed comfortable approaching me—I joke that I have a little Disney princess energy! But I know trust happens on their terms. I pay close attention to body language and adapt to each pet’s personality, energy, and comfort level. With nervous pets, I’m patient, give them space, and never rush affection or interaction. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and familiar routines, respect your space, and keep you updated. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away.

“Andrea C. was an absolutely wonderful house- and dog-sitter for our girls, Tootsie-Belle and Tessie-Belle. She kept them on their feeding, play, and snacking schedule so they stayed happy and comfortable throughout. Andrea sent daily reports with updates and photos, and even reached out with a question to make sure she was doing everything exactly as we wanted. When we returned, the house was sparkling clean. Responsible, attentive, and caring—highly recommended!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been a proud dog owner of several breeds and a cat owner, and caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I'm happy to provide the individualized care they deserve. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'm dependable, trustworthy, punctual, and attentive to every detail. I communicate regularly, follow instructions carefully, and will always treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while making sure your pet feels loved, happy, and cared for until you return. I can't wait to meet you and your wonderful furry family members! Thank you for considering me. It would be a privilege to care for your beloved pets. I also wanted to note that my absolute favorite dog breed are Pugs, I grew up with three of them! — Lyndsay 🐾 Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me happiness. I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with them, whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply enjoying each other's company. Being able to care for pets throughout my week is incredibly rewarding, and I love knowing that I'm providing them with the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. There's nothing more fulfilling to me than earning the trust of both pets and their families and treating every furry friend as if they were my own. Every pet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each animal and am committed to providing personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet has a specific routine, dietary requirements, medication schedule, or simply needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I will do my best to accommodate their needs with compassion, attentiveness, and care. My goal is to create a calm, trusting environment where your pet feels secure and receives the same love and respect I would give my own.

“Angela agreed with a meet and greet and it went well after the initial interview with my male boxer Rocky. He sets the temperature of the room, lol. Within 10 minutes he was licking her face and giving her hugs. I felt at ease at that moment. My two other dogs, loved her from the moment she arrived. We were taking a 7 day vacation which I was very anxious and apprehensive. My dogs have only had one other dog sitter and my dogs are 13, 6 and 5 years old. We have always had our kids take care of them, but now they are adults and have their own pets to take care of. I left Angela a detailed 4 page document (lol) of their daily routine. Plus my Rocky is on seizure medication twice a day, she administered. When she arrived we reviewed everything and felt at ease prior to leaving. During our vacation she stayed in communication with me and sent great photos. She texted me if she had any questioned. She kept our home clean and took amazing care of our 3 fur babies. Angela is very caring and compassionate with our dogs. They were happy to see us when we arrived home. You won’t be disappointed in using Angela to care for your animals. I will be booking her in the next few months.”

They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience in the pet industry, including 3 years working as a kennel technician. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish through both professional work and independent pet sitting. My experience includes managing large-dog playgroups, dog walking, feeding, administering routine care, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Your pets will be treated like family! Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I have a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily care and attention pets need. I make sure his litter box stays clean, his food and water are always fresh, and he gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I believe the little things make a big difference in keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it my priority to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I ensure they always have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime and exercise both indoors and outdoors, and any necessary medications are given as directed. I also take pride in following each pet parent’s checklist and routine so nothing gets overlooked. My goal is to give your pets the same love, attention, and care they receive when you’re home!

She is quick to respond and went above and beyond what I hoped for in a sitter. I would highly recommend her, and I will be using her services again in the future. Thank you so much, Katie, I was able to enjoy my trip and knew my dogs were in good hands.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bushnell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bushnell is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $47 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.

As of November 2026, there are 949 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bushnell. 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 Bushnell 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 Bushnell 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 Bushnell 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bushnell. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
