“Darcy was fantastic! We were in the process of moving and to change plans and times, and she rolled with it. And took on the challenge of taking care of our boys in their brand new surroundings and when we got home, they both seemed happy and well acclimated. Couldn’t have had a better outcome. Good communicator and good person.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I chose Bobbi. First and foremost, she was great with my dog Lula and Lula did very well under her care. Bobbi kindly agreed to meet us ahead of time and and was ver forthcoming and helpful which made for an easy decision. While she stayed here giving plenty of love and attention to Lula, she was very respectful of my home and even watered my plants. Not only did she leave my house neat and clean, she went over and above by stripping bedding and emptying the dishwasher. Not only would I use Bobbi again, but I would also highly recommend her. She was great!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I have had small to large dogs with various energy levels and love getting to know what each pet needs to be happy. I am very energetic and enjoy going on walks and runs with dogs. Some people love babies but I love pets! I am comfortable giving any oral medication pets need while under my supervison. My job is to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy when you are not there! I have a car so I am able to accomodate any transportation needs. I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment with my boyfriend and if your pet is comfortable sleeping in the bed that is not a problem at all! I look forward to meeting both you and your pet!
“Chuck is fantastic with my two girls. I absolutely feel more at ease knowing my girls are safe and well taken care of. He has such a kind and caring demeaner. He sends pictures and comments to keep me updated.. He lets my girls sleep with him, which they love and follows the schedule they are accustomed too. Definitely keeping things as normal as possible for them to keep them happy. Our home is in fantastic condition when we return home as well. I'm very grateful for such a quality person to help us with the girls.”
About: As a professional dog trainer, I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs with fear, anxiety, reactivity, separation-related challenges, or other behavioral needs. I understand that these dogs often need more than basic care—they need their environment and routines managed thoughtfully so they can feel safe and successful. I’m also experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need extra patience or individualized care. My goal is to provide dependable care while respecting each pet’s unique personality, needs, and comfort level. Pet care is an important part of my work, so I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care rather than fitting visits in around a full-time job. I offer flexible scheduling for house sitting and drop-in visits, and I’m able to accommodate pets who need a little extra time, patience, or consistency. I limit my bookings so that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routines as much as possible and follow your instructions closely, while also paying attention to body language and stress signals so I can adjust as needed. My experience as a professional dog trainer means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog is uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or needs more space, and I take a proactive approach to preventing problems rather than waiting for them to happen. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines, medications, management plans, and other individual needs whenever I can.
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. From birthing puppies to senior dog care. Who doesn’t love a furry friend! I am a teacher who is off for summer break and would love to fill my summer free time helping your special furry family members! I am currently living in an apartment living so I understand the need for dog walks. I will visit and provide lots of love and attention.
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
About: I’ve been a dog lover for years and have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’m a proud dog parent to two Australian Shepherds, so I understand how important exercise, playtime, patience, and love are for keeping dogs happy and healthy. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pup enjoys outdoor adventures, playing with other dogs, or simply relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog like part of my family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to accommodate different routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I always do my best to work around each pet’s individual needs. I have two friendly Australian Shepherds who are well-socialized and love having company. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can feel right at home. I always supervise interactions between dogs and can keep them separated when needed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.
“Grady went above and beyond to ensure our pup was well taken care of. His punctual, friendly, thoughtful, and communicative approach provided us with added peace of mind while we were away. Would recommend!”
“Charel was such an amazing house sitter. She was able to come on short notice and was so flexible if I had any changes to my trip. My animals loved her! She was so great with the dogs and was able to keep my highly active pup very happy and occupied! I felt so comfortable knowing she was always there to be with my animals. I would highly, highly recommend her as a sitter and we are so grateful we found her!”

I will have your fur children in my home or backyard (depending on your requests). They are allowed to sleep and be on my furniture .
“Caroline was amazing! We got many updates and photos while we were away. It was nice to see our pets so happy and being taken care of so well! She also took very good care of our house.

The average cost of House Sitting in Goodbee is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $79 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 Goodbee 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 Goodbee 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 Goodbee 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.

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.
