Kyle and Meg were outstanding sitters! They stayed with our pup for 12 days, and we couldn't have been happier with their care for her and for the house. We received pictures and little messages every day, which kept us feeling reassured that all was well. They took her on regular walks and spent plenty of time just snuggling with her and keeping her company. I can't thank them enough for their care and responsibility. They will be the first people I call next time we need someone to care for our pets.

We were getting married and needed someone who we could rely on as we wouldn't have cell service all weekend. Nathan did all that and brought the dogs for a photo shoot on the big day. We both appreciated having someone who we could trust with our two dogs!

About: I grew up with having dogs of all sizes (typically 6 at a time) and I loved every minute of it. I currently have two dogs, a cat and a flock of chickens and with that being said, I have lots of experience. I will give your dogs or other pets lots of attention along with the care they need ! I will be looking forward to taking care of your animals and thank you for trusting me with your babies! If you have any questions about me such as the dogs I have now or my availability, let me know! A dog isn't just a dog to me, they are family. I will treat them right! Thank you ! I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of availability. Living in the country can be challenging to find a sitter but I’m used to driving long distance! I understand that some animals may be protective of their homes, as they should be! I always make my presence known and don’t provoke any animal right away. It’s important to gain their trust!

Beth was a life saver! She was able to come take care of our houseful of pets on quite short notice. We received wonderful photos throughout our time away. The dogs and cats had a great time. Will definitely rebook in the future when needed.

From the moment Harper met them I knew they were good people. They were very responsive and sent a lot of pictures. That made me feel very comfortable leaving her and enjoying our activity. I definitely recommend Dustin and Allyson!

Rochelle is a dog whisperer. She is a blessing to us. While we were away, we received pictures, videos, and updates. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that the dogs and house were in good hands. Everything was in good shape when we got home. We highly recommend Rochelle and would use her services again.

Olga & Stepan were excellent! They cared for our 3 pets (two cats and dog) while we were gone for the day—they gave the dog her daily pill, took her out, played their special game, and even went above and beyond to leave the house better than when we left it. We are looking forward to having them back for a longer visit.

Tiffany was amazing! In the beginning I was very nervous because I have never left my pet babies with anyone. I usually travel with them. I was kind of paranoid at first. I know I was difficult. Not intentionally, but my pet babies are family. Tiffany had such grace and professionalism. My dogs loved her! Also, my flight was delayed for a day and Tiffany even checked on them the next day, which was outside of the period she was hired. She is a sweet heart, patient, and loves animals. I must emphasize patient because in the beginning I was a helicopter Mom. Anyone would be blessed to have her as a pet sitter. Her professionalism was top notch!

Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bybee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 330 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bybee. 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 Bybee 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 Bybee 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 Bybee 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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
