“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Hailey was great! My animals were so comfortable and happy from her being there while I was away. She took great care of them and my home. This is the first time I’ve used a sitter for my pets and home but I would use Hailey again and again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and having someone I didn’t know dog/house sit. Alissia was super sweet! She came over before our trip so we could have her meet our dog and show her around the house. She was very communicative throughout her stay! I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her! 🐶❤️”

“Bethany did a wonderful job with our dogs. One of our dogs is known to be uppity and Bethany was patient with her. She finally won her over after several days which is quite an accomplishment. Bethany communicated well with pics and video often over the two weeks. We truly appreciate her care and attention to our animals and our home.”
“Chelsea was awesome. Our cat who hides from ALL visitors was sitting in her lap being petted in a few days. Our dog is also a challenge and Chelsea was great with her. Helped her in thunderstorms and fireworks. Our house was in great shape when we returned. I will definitely use Chelsea again.”
“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”
About: I am new to professional dog walking but have personal experience with many different type of dog breeds and personalities. I am comfortable with large and small dog breeds, and I am dedicated to working with your dog if they are still unsure of walks or excitable! I am a stay at home mom and have availability throughout the days and evenings besides short periods of when I take my fiancé to his classes. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines, respecting their personalities, and making sure they have plenty of attention and care suited to their needs. I will follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and other daily needs. I understand that some pets love extra cuddles and attention, while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to respect those boundaries. I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry family members are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away!
About: Through years of experience handling various breeds and temperaments, I approach each furry companion with compassion and respect. Creating a safe and nurturing environment entrusted to my care. I currently work from home and often have more than enough time. Activities such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship can ensure the well-being and happiness of our furry companions. I do not care for pets often anymore due to the passing of my longtime pup at 13 years old. I want to create a happy, healthy, and safe space for a short time to help others.
“Kendall was amazing. Very caring and loving to our pups. She takes the time and cares for them as if they are one of her own. Very professional and kept us informed while we were on our trip! Very happy with having her watch our pups!!”

I would love to walk or watch your dog in your home. or taking him or her to the park, giving your family member stimulation and fun and an active lifestyle. I would love to get to know your animal and help out as much as possible. I would adapt my dog walking and sitting style to fit your dogs special needs. I would also use a comforting tone and spend time with them as they miss you, or even in the early stages of getting used to a new home, I would find ways to make them comfortable while making sure they are fed, walked, watered, and know that they are loved.
“Casey is awesome! She takes wonderful care of our 2 Kitties and goes above and beyond, even providing extra fun activities to keep them entertained during her visits. She always includes great pictures in the report cards as well. We so appreciate her fur-babysitting skills!”
“Kelsie stayed with my dogs over the weekend while we were away, and I came home to two happy pups and a clean house. She sent me regular updates and pictures. I am so happy to have found Kelsie and will definitely have her stay with my dogs again!”
About: I love dogs all of all ages and sizes! I have lots of experience with puppies and labs. I volunteer for 2 dog rescue groups, and have helped 6 dogs find their "furever" homes. I am a stay at home mom, and I have lots of time and love to give to all God's creatures! I have lots of experience with dogs who need extra attention and love, and I can't wait to make your dog part of my dog adventures. I am not very cat experienced, but I do enjoy cats. My children and 1 year old yellow lab love dogs! My lab is playful, but also laid back, and my children are very good with all types of dogs! I can't wait to meet your pet!
About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and caring for pets is something I take seriously. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I aim to follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I work full-time at QVC on an overnight schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I'm happy to coordinate with pet owners in advance to find times that work for both of us. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I will follow the owner's instructions and stick to their pet's usual routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for the way they're used to. I regularly take my own dog, Max, on walks and will make sure to follow each owner's preferences for walks and outdoor time.
“Heather and Spencer did a great job! We received constant updates! They both are so friendly and took such great care of our pups. We would hire them again for sure!”
“Can and Taylor were so great to work with. My animals warmed up to Cam immediately at the meet and greet before their stay and made me comfortable knowing that they would be in good hands. I do have some pets with special needs (a diabetic cat who requires twice daily insulin and a blind pug) and they were well taken care of. I also have a younger standard poodle who is high energy and he got plenty of play time and exercise. Cam and Taylor made sure to learn my pets schedules and keep to that as much as possible while I was away. Their love for dogs shows as they do what it takes to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away. They provided frequent updates and pictures which is great since I was away for over a week and missed my pets. I had delayed flights and was worried I wouldn’t make it home on time. They were so accommodating and were able to stay longer with my pets than expected. My house was spotless when I returned and my animals were happy and healthy. I highly recommend Cam and Taylor for any of your pets needs, they really are great with animals. I will definitely book them again in the future.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Salisbury Heights is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $70 per night.

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 Salisbury Heights 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 Salisbury Heights 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 Salisbury Heights 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
