“Rina was great with our dogs. They instantly bonded with her due to her warm and welcoming nature. She sent us frequent pictures and updates while we were away. She spent a week at our home with our dogs, which we believe they enjoyed. We will not hesitate to use her again when needed and could not recommend her highly enough.”
“Jolee did a great job watching our two large dogs while we were gone. Our lab can be a bit slow to warm up with new people and she handled him super well and communicated with us consistently. We loved the pics she sent! Would definitely rebook :)”
“Nicole was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pup for an extended period of time and she made sure to ask what level of updates I wanted and delivered! It’s clear she understands dogs very well and made me so comfortable being away from my pup. Even when he acted out the one time she handled it with grace and checked in with me how to best troubleshoot. Will definitely rebook the next time I need a sitter :).”
About: I’m Beth, I'm 28 years old and I have about ten years of experience caring for animals in the area. I also have three cats of my own. I've mainly provided care for cats, dogs, and fish. I also have experience caring for rabbits, lizards, birds, and guinea pigs. I am willing to learn to care for just about any pet. I have experience administering medication to cats and dogs as well, including insulin. I work with owners on what their pets needs are and do my very best to make my stay with your animals as close to if their owners were still home with them as I can! I look forward to working with you! i can do check ins before and after work as well as a bed time check in (unless I’m staying overnight) if your pets need an extra check in I can also do a stop on my lunch break. I can stay overnight or just pop in! Whatever you would prefer. I am very flexible and will work with you very closely on you and your pets wants and needs!
“Keyonnah is the best dog sitter I have used! Her gentle demeanor and love of pets, put my dog at ease and I felt 100 % comfortable leaving my pet in her care for 8 days. Keyonnah is reliable, responsible and extremely affordable. I will definitely continue to hire Keyonnah as needed.”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.
“Rowan has been the best dog and cat sitter we’ve had since using this app—10/10, highly recommend. They’re great with animals, always send photos and updates, and are incredibly reliable and attentive.”
“Dylan was very responsible and reliable, she quickly responded and sent daily pictures of my dogs I trusted her with my home and dogs, they were all well cared for. I will definitely have Dylan return again.”
About: I’ve trained several puppies in my life, including my current 6 year old boxer, Bruce. I believe that pets are equals with humans, so they get a spot on the couch, too! We also have 2 cats, Kit and Shrimpy. As for other animals, I grew up riding horses, and I recently worked at a zoo where I handled exotic animals. I would love to take care of your animals and give them the love and care that you would while you’re out! I am a teacher by day so I work a schedule of 7am-3:20 M-F. However, I am free most nights and weekends. I also will be available during the winter holidays and the summer months. I believe that animals are soulful, sentient creatures just like humans, so they should be treated as such! My dog and cats sleep in bed with me, and are allowed on all furniture. I also understand that puppies need constant attention and exercise, so we take our dog on walks frequently.
“Brittany was great with our boys and very easy to work with, from the initial meet and greet through the 6 nights we were gone. Our dogs are pretty big (80 and 95lbs) and they both have some quirky habits, but Brittany handled them with ease. She sent pictures and updates daily, which really settled any worries we had about having a new person at the house. We came home to very happy dogs, and we look forward to using her services again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m very easy going. I love to take them for walks, get them a pup cup, parks, etc.. If they have meds or a certain diet that’s not a problem. As well as if they have any other specific needs, I will make sure to meet them. You can expect regular updates and pictures if wanted. I believe every dog should get love and attention so I will make sure not to be a stranger to them! Hope they love their tummy tickled too! Let me know if you have any questions:) I work at OSF St. Francis Medical Center, I am part time from 7am-1pm. I do online schooling therefore I would only be gone during the morning/ afternoon. The rest of the day is fully for the pups! In my clients home they have either a fenced yard or a shock collar to keep them in. One of my clients has specific diets and medication for both of their dogs and prefers if they are walked daily as well! (no extra charge for walking ofc). They text me the details or they write on a piece of paper and leave notes. I have no problem following directions, it is better to be more specific though when telling them. And I do send pics and update my clients if asked or necessary!
“Sami did a great job with Duke and Daisy. She made us feel very relaxed by updating us occasionally with texts and pictures. The dogs loved her and we definitely felt comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely book again.”
“Absolutely lovely! Calming yet confident presence that felt like we have known her forever. Hugged the dog goodbye and her too and never for a moment felt uneasy or stressed. Great care to doggo and house!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.
“Awesome house sitter, she felt comfortable taking my dogs back to her place and took very good care of them and they seem to doing great when I got home from my weekend trip! Thank you so much!”
About: ive owned dogs my entire life so caring for them comes naturally to me. i have a deep love for animals and bring a combination of energy, responsibility, and care to every animal i work with! i tailor my care to match each animals individual routine and personality. i have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs. beyond that i am reliable, communicative, and love on animals as if they were my own! i currently work 3 12 hour shifts per week at the local hospital, which gives me several full days off with a very flexible schedule. on my off days im available for pet care throughout the day, whether that’s walks, drop ins, or extended visits. i’m great at planning ahead and always make sure pet care fits smoothly into both my and the pet owners schedules. when caring for pets in a clients home i aim to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. i make sure their environment stays clean, safe, and calm. at this time i primarily offer care such as walks or drop ins at the clients home so pets can stay in a familiar and stress free environment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Spring Bay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 132 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spring Bay. 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 Spring Bay 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 Spring Bay 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 Spring Bay 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 Spring Bay. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
