“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.”
“Lila did an amazing job watching our two dogs, one of whom has storm anxiety that can be difficult to deal with. Lila did fantastic though! Knowing our dogs were in caring and capable hands made our vacation even more enjoyable! Would love to be able to rebook her in the future, and would highly recommend her.”
“Connie was amazing handling my 3 high strung little dogs. She provided many updates and photos, giving me peace of mind and reassurance that all was well at home. Connie took excellent care of the house and was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate my travel needs. Love Connie for my babies. ♥️♥️”
“Alicia gave us peace of mind leaving our 6 month old puppy and 2 cats at home while visiting family out of state for Thanksgiving. Even brought a doggy friend over for pupper to play with, and shared pictures of playtime. Would definitely book again!”
“Dylan was a wonderful sitter for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She gave all the attention the animals needed and was great with communicating, We’ll definitely have her pet sit again! Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. In the past 16 years, I’ve developed animal communication skills which allow me to psychically communicate with animals. This ability helps me understand what animals want, need and feel. My services include a combination of practical, thorough and detail-oriented care with psychic guidance and support. I know how to keep animals calm and centered on their walks and give them plenty of time to play! At the end of each day with your animal, I provide a text summary with photos and any relevant updates. I have experience with cats, dogs and snakes. I am a graduate student in the Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling program at Naropa University, where I am studying to become a children’s therapist. I work part time at Art Parts, a creative reuse center, and my shifts are five hours or under. My flexible schedule allows me to tend to animals in between shifts and classes. I lived in a fenced community with a dog park on site and next to Scott Carpenter park with grassy fields and a creek. For dog owners, I can take the animals outside to play frequently! For cat owners, my apartment is a cozy duplex with plenty of room to roam and windows to look out and watch local wildlife. If I am to visit your home, I will adapt to your animals needs and routines as seamlessly as possible.
“Veronika was able to handle my very shy Chihuahua without any difficulty during a two day stay at my home. Veronika is capable, trustworthy and kind. I would rehire her without any hesitation.”
About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal worker, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.
About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Colorado and the UK. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. My children live in CO, so I always find myself in the Boulder area often. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to set up a time to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews, and I can furnish more reviews that I have received outside this app. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.
“Katavah is always such great help with our pup. She was so so kind and when I realized I booked for the wrong dates, she moved around her personal schedule to help me watch suz an extra night. She went above and beyond and so appreciative!”
“We’ve used Savannah several times now and we always know she is in great hands. This last trip was longer and we had a potential home issue while she was there that she was happy to help provide us with info, video evidence, and responded quickly which was above and beyond! She always is patient with our little girl and shows her a great week while we are away!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I’m responsible, patient, and loving, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own! As a college student at CU Boulder, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I love spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the love and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention and patience. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
About: I've owned many dogs throughout my life, and they've taught me how much attention and exercise a dog needs each day. I hope to use those skills to give your dog great care. I promise to keep your dog happy and healthy, and I'll give lots of extra attention and love because I truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I'm a 27-year-old who has lived in Boulder since 2024. I love being outside and have lived around downtown, so I know the trails and the area well. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. Before Boulder, I lived in Washington DC, where I took care of a variety of dogs, and I'm excited to do the same here. I'll send regular updates while you're away, and I'm happy to accommodate any specific needs your dog has. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your dog! I am currently working remotely doing tech consulting which gives me an extremely flexible schedule during the day. I love to get up early in the mornings and am happy to walk in lunch breaks and in between meetings- happy to work with you and be flexible. When taking care of dogs in my clients home I will take extra steps to ensure that your dog is taken care of and supported in your absence. As a long time dog owner I am aware of the stress it puts on dogs when the owner is gone and the importance in the role of the caretaker in making the dog feel safe and loved.
“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)!”
About: I have been caring for all kinds of dogs since before I can remember. I grew up with 2 dogs at all times, and have been walking/feeding/caring for them since I could walk. I genuinely just love dogs and sadly cannot own one in my current living situation. I am always out walking and running and thought why not have a furry friend along side me! I am currently working part time at a restaurant so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! Every day I go for a walk or a run so adding a furry friend would make total sense for my schedule. I have an apartment that your dogs can surely visit but sadly I cannot house them overnight here. I am totally comfortable with crate or not crate trained dogs. I am also comfortable caring for your pups in the space they feel the most at home… their house!
About: I'm a tidy introvert and dual citizen that loves to spend time with all kinds of animals. I have experience with pet sitting and dog walking and am happiest when hanging out with pets. I work remotely and I'm a homebody that will always be around for playtime. I love animals and the peace and calm that comes with pet sitting. I work remotely and I find myself with gaps of time that I very much enjoy spending my time with animals. I typically have open availability for pets sits and they are my favorite way to spend time with animals. I have pattern recognition and attention to detail. I have been pet sitting for awhile and am accustomed to adapting to many types of situations. I enjoy the presence and calm that comes with sitting and learning about the different personalities that come with taking care of animals.
About: I will love and care for your dogs like they are my own! I am at home most of the time and would only leave your pup at most 5 hours 2x in a given week. I have my own 10 lb "mystery doodle" fur baby and we both welcome fur friends to our home and are happy to come stay in yours, as well. *Please note that I can only accept dogs up to 30 lbs for boarding at my home.* Cuddle time is priority and I take the dogs hiking almost every day. I live right next to an amazing open space, and a huge grassy area "dog park." Lots of fun playtime happens there! Holistic health is a priority for my babies, and I often share information on diet, lifestyle, training and supplements that can help your dog to be the healthiest possible as well! I also practice honest, clear communication regarding any issue that could possibly arise. I started petsitting at the age of 12 when I had a small business in my neighborhood. I went on to spend a few summers working full time at the local kennel, walking, feeding and caring for dozens of dogs there. I worked at a sled dog kennel in Alaska one year caring for 100 dogs and since then have cared for dozens of dogs and cats in my home and at other's homes. I also have had my own dogs for the last 15 years. I look forward to talking to you about how I can care for your pets and leave you knowing your fur babies are loved, healthy and safe! I am normally only away from home for 5 hours tops 2 times in a given week. Other than that I am with your fur babies going on walks, playing with neighborhood dogs in the "dog park," hiking, and cuddling on the couch. I have a friendly 10 lb mystery doodle, a small fenced yard, and our larger "back yard" is the open space next to the townhome I live in where we go on short walks multiple times a day. There is also a grassy area nearby locals call "the dog park" where many dogs run around and play. I would be happy to bring your pup on hikes with my dog and I, as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salina
Yolanda is the Mary Poppins of cat sitting, and if you have the opportunity to work with her, it is your lucky day. When we had to leave the country for three weeks, we had no idea who we might find to take care of our senior cat who doesn’t like strangers and doesn’t eat on a schedule. Enter Yolanda. We knew right away that she had just the right calm, warm energy for our fussy cat, and though we weren’t sure how to tell any cat sitter to offer food to our picky free-feeding feline, Yolanda figured it all out. Her frequent updates from home showed our cat enjoying getting brushed, snuggling up with Yolanda on the couch, eating heartily … who is this cat who hides from strangers and wakes us up in the middle of the night for food that’s already out? Our cat loved Yolanda, and we were fully reassured that she was fine, if not better, while we were gone. Then, it got even better when we came home. We arrived to a clean house, a special bake in the fridge from Yolanda (she knew we wouldn’t want to cook dinner after 20-plus hours of travel), and a cat that was so calm that she didn’t bother to get up from her cozy spot when we walked in with our luggage. Yolanda is truly the best, and we just might plan all future trips around her schedule!
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 of House Sitting in Salina is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $51 and $51 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 4,972 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salina. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
