“I would not hesitate to recommend Melissa. We used her for the first time over a long spring break and she took terrific care of our 2 basset hounds in our home. She sent updates and photos and we could tell the dogs were being well cared for - lots of love and lots of exercise - what else could we ask for? There was a sudden wildfire evacuation later in the day that Melissa left - but before we got home- and she reached out immediately to see if she needed to get the dogs to make sure they were safe. Above and beyond! Terrific communication and a lovely pet sitter whom we will undoubtedly use again.”
“Taylor is one of the very best pet sitters ever -- and we have hired many of them as we travel a lot. Taylor took great care to bond with Maximus on the dog's terms -- Max is 10 years old, very sweet, and a little idiosyncratic. Taylor was great an adapting play to Max's individual habits. Taylor followed instructions meticulously, and he left the house very very clean and tidy. He is also a very easy person to work with on protocols for the house, details of care, etc.”
“Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!”
“Copper and Levi were so happy to have Jennifer stay with them for a week. She made sure everything ran smoothly at the house and her communication was great. I highly recommend her! :-)”
“Carolyn was responsible, reliable, and communicative when taking care of our 2 dogs in our house. She sent pictures and took care of everything in the house without any issues.”
“Maia was amazing - she helped us out in a pinch when we were already traveling. She’s clearly a cat person who cares about the pets she works with. We got plenty of photos of passed out cats enjoying their time with her!”
“Zach did such an amazing job caring for our two dogs. Even with all of the other positive reviews we had seen, he still exceeded expectations. Zach sent photos and communicaiton daily - and had lots of patience for our older dog, who is a little senile. He went above and beyond making sure that the older dog actually ate and both dogs had tons of exercise and attention while we were gone. We would use Zach as a house and dogsittter again in a heartbeat.”
“Robin was amazing and so easy to work with. She made me feel at ease while I was out of town. I know she treated my animals as if they were her own and I highly recommend her!”
“August was great! He sent regular updates, was extremely responsive, and was the perfect balance of warm and professional. Knowing he was giving our pup the attention and care he needed while we were away gave us valuable piece of mind. He left the house in excellent shape and took care of things like trash while we were gone. I highly recommend August and will be booking with him again.”
“Colleen did a fantastic job taking care of our boys. Both are pretty high needs in very different ways. One needs medication on the clock, twice a day. The other is young, high energy and wants constant attention. Colleen was stellar! We came home to happy pups and a clean house!!! She is mature, respectful, communicates wonderfully, and asks questions. We felt so confident and relaxed while on our trip knowing she was there. I highly recommend Colleen to care for your animals and your home.”
About: Hi! I love dog sitting, and I look forward giving your dog all the care, exercise, and attention they deserve while you are away. My dog Tommy and I love making new friends and we look forward to meeting your dog soon! I have had dogs for 10 years and have spent many years dog sitting on Rover and for friends as well as fostering dogs for animal rescue organizations. I love to go for walks and spend as much time with the dogs as possible. I can adapt to any exercise requirements your dog may have. I spent many hours training my dog as a puppy so I know how important maintaining good habits are. I am happy to maintain any structure you use at home for your dog and to maintain the training you have given them. My dog Tommy is half lab half golden. He is very friendly and likes to have friends around. Tommy and I offer house sitting in your home as well. He is very polite and good in the house! Please reach out with any questions you may have. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking. I take my dog for walks in the morning and evening with a bathroom break in the middle of the day. We also incorporate playing and training and sometimes walk on local trails or go for hikes. I abide by any rules your dog follows when they are with you. My dog is free to go anywhere in the house during the day (although he usually hangs out with me!), and he stays in my room while I am out of the house.
“Olivia came through for me in an emergency. I was unable to meet her although I feel confident she did a wonderful job. I could tell she at my home as expected to feed my cat. From the outside camera I could tell my cat was responding well to her. I would 100% hire her again. Thank you for taking care of my home and my cat Olivia.”
“Becca was a wonderful sitter! She is kind and attentive, and gave me lots of daily updates with great photos. She even went on runs with my dog which was amazing! I would definitely have Becca watch Luna again and would certainly recommend her to others :) thanks Becca!!!”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful! She was super communicative, responsible, and clearly great with our dog and cat. We never had to worry about our pets during our 10 day trip because we knew they were getting excellent care and lots of love.”
“Ben waa promt arriving to care for our 3 month old puppy at pur hotel...aside from him suffering a puppy scratch, they had a great afternoon. Fritz was fed/watered/pottied/walked/played with and generally well cared for, for 6 hours! We give Ben ????? (5 paws/stars)!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salina
Wow. Yolanda was truly the best sitter we've ever had. She went above and beyond in her care for both our cat (Sunny) and our home. She sent frequent updates, pictures and videos, which let us check in and see how much Sunny was being pampered. She was diligent about his care routine and ensured he was given his medication and frequent feedings, plus lots of loving caresses. We came home to a made bed with fresh sheets, which was an incredible gesture following a 3 hour flight delay. Our home was spotless upon return, leaving it in better condition than what we left for her. Yolanda goes above and beyond and is the premiere caretaker for your animal and home. 5 stars is truly too low of a rating.
Yolanda was awesome as always! Not the first time we’ve had her. Both my dogs just absolutely love her. Not only does she take care of the dogs, she keeps the house clean as well as washing the bedding before she leaves. She is also a great cook! Left us an homemade apple pie using our apples from our tree! She had fun with that! 😁🤣❤️ You guys need a dog sitter? Book with Yolanda!

FAQs for House Sitting - Salina
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salina on Rover is $51.34 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 5,035 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salina. 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 Salina 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 Salina 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 Salina 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
