“Emily did a wonderful job helping watch our two dogs over the holidays! She was very kind and responsive throughout our trip, sending updates of our dogs having fun and enjoying time with her. We returned to two very tired happy dogs!”
“Gigi was wonderful! Excellent communication throughout the entire process and she was so sweet and patient with our slightly neurotic, high-energy little guy. We will definitely be reaching out to Gigi again in the future!”
“Ice came in last minute to save the day! She house/dog sat both of my dogs and did an amazing job! She kept me updated with pics, took them on walks, and also tidied up before I got home. The dogs loved her too. I would highly recommend her! She will definitely take care of your dog like it’s her own.”
“First time using Rover, and would 10/10 recommend Bradley! He frequently sent pictures, and videos of our dogs. He was also very aware of their senior age, and took this into account during their walks.”

“Emmy made an extra trip to meet Maxine, Otis and I before our trip. Maxine was a little scared but Emmy did get her to come out and play.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salida
We are so incredibly grateful to have connected with Julia! My husband and I are traveling with our dog and needed a last minute sitter, and she truly saved the day! Our boy, Canyon, had the best day with her. Julia really went above and beyond. Her flexibility, kindness, and incredible understanding of animals were apparent from the moment we met her. When we picked up our boy, he looked so happy! As an added bonus, we loved getting to know Julia a bit and had the best time chatting with her when we picked up our pup. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially on such short notice. Julia - thank you so much! We are truly grateful for your help and for taking such good care of Canyon! :D
Zoe took great care of our 3 dogs while we were gone for a week. We have a senior lab who has started having accidents and Zoe handled it without issue, which we greatly appreciated. She left our house cleaner than when we left it too. We would use Zoe again to house sit anytime.
Cielo took such good care of my fur baby while I was away. She sent picture updates throughout her time watching my dog, played fetch and gave her lots of love and snuggles. Cielo went above and beyond and took out the trash and washed the sheets after her stay. I would highly recommend Cielo & you can put your mind at ease knowing your pet is in great hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Salida
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salida on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 46 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salida. 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 Salida 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 Salida 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 Salida 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
