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.
“My husband and I always have fun on our trips, because we know Winnie is in excellent hands. Not only does Lila provide numerous pictures with comments/ she sends pictures of anything that she thinks looks abnormal. Lila is delightful, responsable, and she loves animals! She will treat yours like hers I have no hesitation about giving her the highest marks possible.”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Connie. She stayed at our house over the weekend with our Bernese Mountain Dog pup while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates, which was so wonderful! Connie kept us updated on how Boken was doing daily and left the place looking exactly as we'd left it. We were super happy!”
“Savannah is always so happy to spend time with our little Riley! 🐶 She is thoughtful and communicative as well. Zero hesitation in recommending her to spend time with your fur babies and your home.”
“Taylor was wonderful with my older dog. He took excellent care of him and made sure he was comfortable. Taylor took him on walks and runs and ensured he was happy in our absence. I would use him again.”
About: I bring a calm, grounded energy that animals seem to trust right away. Whether it’s an active dog who loves going on long walks or steady runs with me, or a quieter pet who needs gentle companionship, I focus on giving each animal the individual attention they deserve. I care deeply about their happiness, comfort, and sense of safety. Pets tend to lean into me quickly, and I make sure they feel seen, loved, and accepted exactly as they are. My goal is to help every animal have a rich, content day while you’re away. I don't work weekends which allows me plenty of time to stay with pets in their homes and keep them on their normal rhythm. I’m available for overnights, drop-ins, and extended stays given enough advanced notice, and I make sure each visit feels calm, consistent, and attended to. Whether your pet needs long walks, runs, playtime, or quiet companionship, I can be there when they need me. If i'm working on a weekday, I can feed and let dogs out or walk them in the morning before I leave and come back late afternoon/early evening for those pets that can manage themselves during the day. Since I don’t host pets in my own home, I focus on providing safe, reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment. I’m attentive to routines, feeding needs, medications, and any special instructions. I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and overall safety, and I’m respectful of your home while I’m staying there. My goal is always to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease, seen, and truly cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had animals in my life since day one; I’ve had a variety of dogs in and out of my house for a long as I can remember. I am very versatile and have had experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, big and little dogs, calm or anxious dogs, reactive dogs and everything in between! Since school is out for the summer I am available to help out anytime! I am able to do sittings, walks and drop-ins at your convenience In a clients home I will treat their space and animal with the utmost respect and care. I intend to give their pet the love and attention they deserve and leave the home better than I found it
“Brenna took incredible care of my fur family! She was super kind, clear, responsible, and communicative. My nervous dog clearly felt comfortable with her and she sent the best updates”
“Sasha did a great job housesitting and caring for our dogs and cat! Great communication, followed our complicated care instructions, and was flexible when we needed her to stay longer. Thank you, Sasha!”
“Santiago watched our dog Daisy for the first time and yet it felt as if we had known him for a long time. He was wonderful with Daisy as we could see from the many photos he sent to keep us informed every day. He fulfilled all of our requests regarding food, walks, plant watering. Our house was in excellent condition. He even laundered the sheets and re made the bed. That sure is a bonus at the end of a trip. Because I felt so comfortable on meeting Santi, I booked him for another stay before he had come the first time. It is so wonderful to leave a beloved pet with a light hearted and confident feeling as we did with Santi. Daisy seemed to thrive on his watch.We all look forward to his next stay.”
“I can't say enough good things about August! He goes above and beyond what I ever expected in a dog sitter. He paid attention to every single detail, from Mila’s specific feeding routine to how she likes to sleep. He is professional, caring, and trustworthy. I received daily photo and video updates, which was incredibly comforting while I was away. Mila was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved when I returned home, which says everything about the quality of care. I highly recommend August to anyone who wants their pet to receive 5-star treatment! He also did amazing extras like making sure my packages got inside and I came home to a spotless house. I cannot say enough good things about him! I will definitely use him in the future.”
About: I have four dogs and two cats of my own, and have helped take care of them since I can remember. I just graduated and got my undergraduate degree in Animal Science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo! I have a passion for animals and love to spend time with them! I know the care necessary for dogs and cats as my pets have relied on me for exercise, food, water, and basic care for them. I love going on hikes with my dogs and friends, and love the outdoors! I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of free time to care for your animals! I am free all day and night weekends, as well as weekdays from 8am-2pm. I will go to the clients home and care for the animal how instructed, whether that is taking them for a long walk, letting them out in the yard, keeping them on leash, playing with them, etc!
“Moriah was amazing! She was so communicative and our fur babies looked like they were having a blast in every pic update 😊 we truly appreciated how she left our place so clean and respected our home and needs for the stay!”
“Trinity was awesome. She is a fast communicator, flexible, came to meet the dogs right away, followed all of our instructions and the house was super clean when we got home. The dogs are obsessed with her, in particular, Scrappy. He is on vibe patrol and his cuckoo adoration of her says a lot. They were happy as pie when we got home. I will definitely hit up Trinity the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend for anybody else! 100% awesomeness! Thank you!!!”
“Caitlin was amazing with our dog. He's a big boy and is shy of most strangers, but he warmed up too her very quickly. She has a calm energy that is great for a dog, that can be cautious with new people!”
About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care. I make time for timely check-ins, walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I prioritize consistency so pets can stick to their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and reducing stress while their family is away. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and make sure pets are always in a safe environment. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and organized. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable communication, patience, and compassionate care. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“Matt was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats, Zuko and Winnie. We always had very clear communication, he sent us great pictures every day, and he took great care of our cats and our house. Our cats loved him.”

Yolanda is a gem. It’s always hard for us to find someone we feel we can trust will look after our animals with the same level of attention and love that we provide. Yolanda clearly loves animals. Beyond that, she clearly has a special gift with them. Our 2 lgd dogs and needy cat fell in love with her! It was clear she gave them a lot of time and attention. She was also very communicative with us, and made sure to follow our instructions. Everything was in perfect order upon our return from our extended stay abroad. We are so glad we found Yolanda and look forward to having her pet sit for us again - we know the animals would love that as well!
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!
I am so so very pleased with the service Jai provided for us. While watching our two cats, crested and fat tail geckos, my freshwater aquariums, and my garden, Jai provided multiple daily updates with photos. They were also very responsive. They left my home spotless and my kitties were very happy. Highly highly recommend!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salina on Rover is $51.34 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,017 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.

- 97% 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.
