House Sitting in Powell

Emily was a great house sitter while we were out on a vacation weekend! She kept us updated throughout the trip, gave great care to our elderly dog, and was a joy to work with throughout. We are adding her to our list for future trips and would recommend her to anyone.

Baylee was available to care for my 2 doggies after another pet sitter backed out last minute, and it was either find a new sitter in less than 24hrs or cancel the trip; so thankful she was able to cover it! Baylee sent pics, our girls were happy and well-fed when we got home, and the house was in good shape (Baylee did six 1.5hr drop-ins over 3 days time). We were very happy with Baylee’s service! Our only complaint likely doesn’t have anything to do with Baylee - make sure you’re very clear on cost before securing a booking. Rover doesn’t prompt you to pay the bill before services begin, which meant Baylee had to gently remind us to pay. So an hour before we were set to leave, we found out the total was $520 for six 1.5hr drop ins ($86 per drop-in, around $60/hr) and when I asked for clarification on the bill, Baylee mentioned the total she would receive was less than that - so Rover is adding in some pretty hefty fees. If you don’t see the bill until the last minute, you’re stuck paying it or cancelling your plans! But again, nothing Baylee did wrong. Just a fair warning to check the total right away and make sure you’re comfortable paying the rover fees! It’s more expensive than sitters’ listed fees (Rovers fault, not sitters). We would have Baylee watch the pups again though, she was wonderful!
