“This was the first time Tammy sat for us. She did a great job spoiling our girl Glady's! Tammy sent so many pictures and videos, we felt very comfortable and well informed. upon returning home, everything looked amazing! Clean and tidy, which was truly appreciated. We take Glady's with us on most trips, but when we can't, we have a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Tammy.”
“Kandice house-sat for us for almost 3 weeks while we were out of the country, and she took excellent care of our (60 lbs and very stubborn) dog and 2 cats. She frequently sent us updates and kept in close communication throughout our trip. We were delighted to return to a clean house and happy animals!”
“Rob took great care of our house and two cats while we were out of town for the holidays. He was here for 4 nights / 5 days and did all the usual cat car things: fed, gave meds, cleaned the boxes, and of course, played. Our cats were happy and settled when we returned. Rob is a clear and consistent communicator; he asks questions to ensure he understands what we're needing, he responds promptly, and encouraged us to ask him questions too, so that we could have the best experience possible! And he left the house clean and tidy! We will definitely be booking Rob for our future pet needs! Thanks Rob! :D”
“Jacklyn is amazing! She is has been available for us a couple of times now and is always ready and willing to help. This last visit our HVAC stopped working and she went into action right away, buying a fan for the dogs, being available for the repair man and keeping me informed. My pups love Jacklyn and we will continue to request her as long as we can!!”
“Meredith was fantastic with our dog and three cats! She took our young, very active, very strong dog on great walks around town, was able to woo our three very particular cats, all while giving us great daily updates and photos. We felt comfortable and assured that our pets and home were well cared for while we were away. Will definitely ask her back!”
“Ashleigh was amazing with Ralphie and we would ask her to watch him again in a heartbeat! She was very communicative, super friendly, and great to work with. She sent us loads of updates and pictures and videos throughout the night!”

“Very pleased with Lacey's care of our home and dogs! They loved her to pieces and she was very comfortable with them even though they are big, strong , scary-looking rescue pitties! Highly recommend!”
“Noa did a phenomenal job taking care of my boys. She made sure they were good, sent plenty of pictures and videos and even stayed longer sometimes to make sure they weren’t by themselves too long. Would definitely recommend and use again! They were in great hands”
“Jarrod was a fantastic dog sitter for our 3 pups while we were gone for the weekend! He is very friendly and easy to work with. During his stay, the dogs got plenty of attention and walks; we got plenty of pictures and updates. One of our dogs can be untrusting of strangers, but he quickly warmed up to Jarrod. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for top quality services.”
About: I spent 9 years in Alaska raising, training, racing, and caring for sled dogs, including successfully completing the 2018 Iditarod. During that time, I was responsible for the daily care, health, exercise, feeding, and wellbeing of large teams of dogs in all types of conditions. My experience includes caring for multiple dogs at once, managing high-energy and working breeds, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing the nuances of how dogs communicate. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from laid-back seniors to strong, active dogs that require confident handling and structure. I also enjoy working with puppies and young dogs. I'm familiar with potty schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and helping young dogs develop good habits through consistency and positive interactions. Whether your dog(s) wants to go on an adventurous walk, a dependable drop-in visit, or attentive overnight care, I treat every dog as if they were my own and just want to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Special Experience: • 9 years raising, training, and caring for sled dogs • Finisher of the 2018 Iditarod • Experienced with multi-dog households • Comfortable with high-energy and working breeds • Puppy and young dog care experience • Medication administration • Experience with senior dogs and special care needs • Strong leash handling and dog behavior awareness I am currently working full time, with a somewhat abnormal schedule. I am available on weekends, and some other evenings and mornings. I work 7am to 4pm one week, then 10am to 7pm the next week. I can not accommodate pets in my own home at this time. I am happy to travel to, stay with and take care of others' pets and their property.

FAQs for House Sitting - Old Bath
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 463 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Old Bath. 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 Old Bath 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 Old Bath 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 Old Bath 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.
