“Crystal stayed at our place for the weekend and was very communicative with photos or any questions, which we really appreciate! The dogs and cat were well taken care of and their happy selves when we returned home. We would recommend Crystal and book again. Thank you, Crystal!”

About: I have had a small dog for 10 years that lives at my parents house as they are retired and love having him around. I now have two cats living with me who are the most snuggly cats you'll ever meet! I am also frequently around large dogs and horses as I live with my fiance at the Stable he works at. I love all animals and understand how difficult it can be to take time away from them for other priorities. I am currently working from home just outside of Georgetown. I have flexible hours, including lunches. On weekends I usually go for hikes or walks outside, so I can easily fit my services into my schedule. I have a dog that was untrained when we first got him. I was able to crate train and potty train (peeing outside) with treats and encouragement. I am generally a calm person, which I have found helps as well. I would love to come for a introduction to make sure everyone is comfortable.

“Robin was amazing, came out to visit before we left on vacation to socialize with our dogs.. While we were on vacation she communicated with us daily and sent us pictures while she sat the dogs at our house. House was even picked up and clean when we got home. Was a real pleasure having her take care of our house. Will certainly book her again in the future when we need her help. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.

“This was my first time booking Jessica to house-sit and take care of my dog while I was away on a 10-day vacation. She was incredibly professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals—my dog absolutely loved her and even missed her after she left! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, healthy pup. I would definitely recommend Jessica!”

About: For five years, my mom and I traveled the world through pet-sitting, which gave us the opportunity to see so many beautiful places and care for so many wonderful cats and dogs along the way. From playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors, every pet had their own personality, routines, and little quirks. Now, being a bit more settled, I'm looking forward to continuing something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed: helping pet owners and getting to spend time with wonderful animals locally. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to work around your schedule. And when house-sitting, it means your pets get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My biggest strength is my ability to follow instructions and routines. I know that every pet has their own way of doing things, and I’m very happy to follow their usual schedule, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, playtime, or medications. I’m dependable when it comes to sticking to the details, so you can feel confident that things will carry on as normal while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily make your pet’s routine fit into mine. I’m big on following directions and keeping things as consistent as possible, so I’ll stick closely to what you’ve asked me to do. Whether it’s walks, meals, medications, or anything else, I won’t introduce anything new or unexpected. My goal is simply to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

Currently mornings start with a bathroom outing, followed by breakfast, playtime, another bathroom break, a hike and nap time, dinner, wind down, bathroom & bed -repeat : ) Routines are schedule around your existing rules and structures already in place.

About: Hi, I’m Jaida! If there’s one thing people know about me, it’s that I love animals and am happiest when I’m around them. I currently work part-time as a dog groomer and previously worked at a dog daycare, where I spent my days supervising, training, and caring for dogs. Those jobs have given me experience working with dogs of different breeds and sizes, and helped me become comfortable handling different behaviours and situations. I also have two large dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I’m currently an undergraduate student hoping to build a career working in veterinary medicine. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog wants to spend the day playing or would rather relax beside someone, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them comfortable. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can often make time for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for them. I’ll take the time to learn their routine and follow it closely, from feeding schedules to walks and any special instructions you may have. I know being away from their owner can be stressful for some pets, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re gone. My experience in grooming and daycare has taught me how to read dog body language and recognize when a dog is excited, nervous, tired, or needs space. I’ll always pay attention to how your pet is feeling and adjust my approach to what works best for them. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and leave everything the way I found it. I know pets are family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, whether that’s during a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an extended stay.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.

About: I look like Hagrid, I love animals more than people, they can sense it and they love me back. Before the war in Ukraine, I regularly looked after my friends' pets when they were traveling or on vacation for three years. I'm currently looking for a job, so I have a lot of free time that I'm willing to dedicate to cats. Since childhood, I have loved cats, I always brought strays home from the street and asked my mother to leave them at our house) I regularly looked after my friends' cats in Ukraine when they were on vacation. For me, the most important thing is the comfort and freedom of the cat. Therefore, I am ready to carefully observe him and give him my care and love. If he wants to play with me, I will gladly do so...

Our older dog had an unexpected medical issue and Ashley identified an issue quickly and was able to bring our dog to the vet and coordinate giving meds for the rest of her stay. The house was left in better shape than when we left for vacation. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs, but also with bunnies, turtles, birds like chickens, pigs, fishes. I am vegan, so besides being a caregiver, I am also an animal defender, advocate, protector and guardian. I go out of my ways to ensure their wellbeing, safety and joy are prioritized over anything else. I respect their space. I usually ask if there's anything else that i can do for their care. Example: washing their water fountains, blankets, organizing their spaces, fixing toys, preparing homemade treats. I often fall in love, and given the time, even the most independent cats end up creating trust in my presence and allowing us to grow a unique connection and bond. I am a dual citizen in the process of changing carreers, so my schedules are very flexible. I tend to hyper focus on new jobs at first to learn as much as I can about my new clients personalities, needs, dynamics and environment. I also offer them a safe and clean space so they can be themselves, express their needs, with mutual respect and some discipline. I ask as many questions as needed to learn about my client's needs and expectations. I take a lot of notes and communicate openly about what I can offer for their wellbeing and safety. I adapt my schedules according to their needs and the methods I work for their requests. I avoid toxic foods in the house and harmful cleaning products. I don't smoke at all and I like organizing spaces with health and safety in mind. I change their water, clean their bowls often to avoid bacteria growth, scan their bodies as needed for their health. When allowed, I share healthy snacks and can even prepare balanced meals as treats.

Jacobe responded very quickly to my last minute request when another sitter had to cancel last minute. He made a trip to meet myself and Millie before the booking was confirmed so we could make sure Millie and I were comfortable with him. He took very good care of both Millie and my friend's dog Buddy, sent lots of photos so we could see how it was going and left everything in great shape, including a couple of tired, happy dogs. I would definitely book him again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shelburne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Shelburne is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 363 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Shelburne. About 88% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Shelburne 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Shelburne walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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 Shelburne 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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
