“Kelsie was the perfect sitter for us! She was extremely professional, our pups loved her, and that was exactly what we were hoping for. She sent photos often, which made us smile and reinforced our decision to work with her. All communication was clear and occurred with perfect frequency. We will most definitely be asking for Kelsie again. She was very respectful of our home and has a great personality. Many thanks from us and of course peanut and Annie 🩷”

“We want to start by saying that this is our first experience using Rover. We were quite anxious about leaving our “kids” with a total stranger and our home. We choose Juli because of her positive reviews. We did a meet and greet which was very impressive, Juli was professional and addressed our pets with pure kindness she also asked many questions about their routines and that we could contact her anytime during her stay. We immediately decided we would give her a try. From the moment she arrived on the first day she sent a video of her walking in the door and greeting our two indoor pets, from then on she kept us totally informed. She exceeded our expectations!! We will request Juli again should we have the need, thank you Juli for taking care of Fisher, Grace, and Kitty K”

Nancy was so great in looking after our fur babies! She had great communication, sent regular updates, and the house was left in perfect condition. Even our timid cat brought Nancy her favorite toy to play fetch. Would absolutely recommend Nancy for pet/house care!
Love love love! Jasmine was an angel! She came to sit for us while we were already out of town. We unfortunately did not get to meet her, but our dogs loved her right away. She was sweet to them, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond the call to make sure our poochies were taken care of. Do not hesitate to hire her.
Stephanie is incredible with both cats and dogs! She asked all the questions she needed and followed our routine beautifully. This truly helped especially with keeping up my dog’s training. She sent plenty of photos and was a joy to work with. Thanks again Pink Paws Lady!
Kelsie was absolutely amazing! This was my first time ever using a pet and house sitter for my senior dog and senior cat, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. My cat has medical needs and requires oral medications twice a day. She can be stubborn and a little skittish with people she doesn't know, but Kelsie had no trouble giving all of her medications and keeping her on schedule. My dog also requires medications, and Kelsie handled everything perfectly. She sent updates and pictures twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the photos and messages that our pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. What also impressed me was how flexible and compassionate she was when our connecting flight home was canceled and we unexpectedly needed to stay away an extra night. Kelsie was able to accommodate the additional day without any stress or complications and immediately put my mind at ease. As someone who was already nervous about leaving my senior pets, her calm and reassuring attitude made a stressful situation so much easier. When travel plans changed unexpectedly, I never felt like I was inconveniencing her. Instead, I felt confident that my babies were safe, cared for, and in good hands. When we got home, both of our pets were calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our home was also in great shape. That told me everything I needed to know about the quality of care they received while we were away. I would trust Kelsie with my pets again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with senior pets or pets that require medications. She provided exceptional care and made what could have been a very stressful experience completely worry-free. We are so grateful to have found Kelsie and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Kelsie, for taking such wonderful care of our babies!
Ka'rynne was wonderful, checking in regularly and sending pictures and video. My dogs were very relaxed and displayed regular behavior, playing, etc... She was very respectful of my house and left it in the same condition I left it. I will use Ka'rynne in the future without hesitation.
Tiffany did such an amazing job with our Lelo! She also went above and beyond the care with helping with the watering of the plants and other helpful things around the house while we were on vacation. I would definitely recommend her and will contact her again for care for Lelo! 💕

FAQs for House Sitting - Selma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Selma on Rover is $31.08 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 1,862 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Selma. 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 Selma 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 Selma 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 Selma 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.

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.
