“Veronica was incredibly attentive to our pups. Our older dog can sometimes be anxious, but had no problems while Veronica was here - I’m guessing because she felt comfortable and taken care of. Veronica left our place cleaner than when we left. We’d be happy to have her back!”
“Parrish is the absolute best!! She's extremely sweet and did such a great job with our pups! They absolutely loved her! She was even willing to stay until we got home!!! I definitely recommend her as your sitter!”
“Kate was great with Royal. Here’s warmed right up to her, and she was very thoughtful with him. She was also really communicative leading up to the appointment, which I appreciated greatly. Would have her back in an instant.”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Trula was great! She was so great with our dog and did a good job of sending updates and photos. I would definitely recommend her services if you are looking for a dog sitter! Thanks, Trula!!! :)”
“This was the first time Lucinda stayed in our house and took care of our dog. I can't say enough about how wonderful it all went! Lucinda is an excellent communicator which is very important to me. She sent me regular updates and photos. I felt very confident that our dog was being well cared for. She really seemed to enjoy being with him! We came home to a clean and orderly house. 5 Stars all around!!!”
“June was a delight and our cat absolutely loved her. She was so attentive and sent us updates and pictures the entire time. Our cat can be picky around food and settling in and she was so comfortable with June. Additionally, June accommodated our schedule and needs so well. Could not be more grateful and will be contacting her for ALL of our future cat needs 💕💕”
“Mark did a fabulous job with my dog who can be difficult. Stella seemed very happy in all the pictures I received. She went on adventures & yet she was bathed when I got home. The house was very well cared for. I will certainly use Mark again.”
“Lindsay did a great job watching our dogs! They were friendly and easy to communicate with. They followed instructions well and adapted to a pup that was very shy and stand off-ish.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. Now, I have a cat, and I would love to spend some time with your puppers and also take a load off your plate! I used to walk dogs through Wag, so I’m accustomed to meeting and befriending new dogs very quickly. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’d love to hang out with your pups! All services up to two dogs. Dog walking: I’ll walk your dog(s) for 30-60 minutes. My parents’ dog is not very well socialized, so I know how to keep an anxious dog comfortable and under control. Drop-Ins: I’ll feed your dog, take them out, and play with them for a while - whatever you request! House-sitting: All of the above PLUS I’ll stay overnight, water your plants, and bring in your mail. I work in theater on a freelance basis, so I often find myself with a lot of free time. Help me fill it with some pet care! I own my own cat, so I am unable to take your pets into my own home. However, I am happy to visit or stay in your home to care for your pets.
“Chanel was a great cat and house sitter. She sent me pictures of my cat each day and kept me updated on how she was doing. She left my condo the same way she found it. She was great with communication before, during and after the pet sit. I would recommend Chanel for your pet sitting/house sitting needs.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. Whether it be my own animals, friends, or neighbors, I am always there to help care for our furry friends. Through pet sitting, house sitting, walking, bathing, and playtime, your pet is sure to be in the best hands! I am currently a college student home for summer. I am looking for a part time job while doing this! I don’t have a specific work schedule yet but I will work with you and make sure your pet comes first. I am available mornings, evenings, and overnight. If I am working during the day, I will make sure it’s not over an extended period of time and the animal is well cared for! In my home, pets are treated like family. They receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection to make sure they feel loved. In my clients home, I respect the pets routine and the owners space. I provide feeding, playtime, walks, snuggles, and cleaning to create the best environment for the animal!
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“Heather was wonderful! Chet had such a good time with her. She did the best job of keeping us informed on how they were doing and the worry-meter went waaaaay down. The house was in excellent condition and the yard was completely clean. Great job, Heather! You made a stressful trip worry free, as far as our beloved pet was concerned. Thank you SO much!!!”
“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“I highly suggest Colleen. All my pets are so happy after her visit. She took great care of them and left the house nice and clean. Great communication while we were gone. I felt comfortable knowing she was there with them and I could relax. Thanks Colleen!”
“Julia is amazing. Consistent, and truly at one with my Larry guy. She’s easy going and thorough and thoughtful and even brought special treats for my babes for day one. Highly highly recommend!!”
“Brennan was a great house/pet sitter! He took great care of the house and was very responsive. We definitely enjoyed getting updates and photos of the pets while we were away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shadowood
This was the first time Lisa stayed with our golden Beatrice. She was great!! She took excellent care of Beatrice and our home. We came back to happy dog and a clean home. Lisa sent regular updates and photos and left a detailed care sheet for us with everything that she did each day. She followed our instructions for Beatrice perfectly. I highly recommend Lisa to take care of your pets. We will definitely rebook Lisa in the future.
Veronica is a wonderful person I couldn’t have asked for a better in home pet sitter. Very communicative from the start, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated both our dog and kitty with so much love and attention. We really appreciated the updates and could tell our pets were comfortable and happy with her. Veronica went above and beyond also taking good care of our home. She is very trustworthy, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful pet sitter!
So many wonderful things to say about Grace! She took care of our 6 year-old standard poodle (Atlas) for a week, at our home. She was a great houseguest, an intuitive and empathic care giver, a fabulous communicator. We highly recommend her and will book her every chance we get.
Chelsea was absolutely AMAZING! This was really my first time ever having a dog sitter watch my dog and she brought me so much comfort with her daily updates and letting me know how everything was going! I love receiving all the pictures while I was on my trip and would absolutely have her watch my pup again!
Grace stayed at our place to take care of our dog, Otto, while we were away on vacation. It was the first time we've used a pet sitter and it was a really great experience. She sent daily updates and photos of our pup which really helped ease the anxiety I had about leaving him. The house was clean and tidy when we returned home and Otto was happy, relaxed and excited to see us. If you're looking for a pet sitter, I highly recommend Grace. She was easy to communicate with and Otto loved her from the first meeting.
Quinn was fantastic - we made arrangements for a 4-day housesit less than a week before my departure on a short-notice trip, and when I returned, you couldn’t even tell anyone had been there; everything was exactly as it was when I left, and Bernie was in a wonderful mood when he greeted me at the door! Thank you again! I absolutely recommend!
Sam has been so trustworthy house sitting for us the last couple years. We are so appreciative to know our doggie and kitty are well cared for while we are on vacation. We return home to clean and also well cared for home. I’ve felt like we have a new family member.
Terry was absolutely wonderful! He is very dependable, we never had to worry while we were away. He gave us great updates, and it was clear from the photos that our dogs loved spending time with him. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says everything! We would 100% recommend Terry!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shadowood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shadowood on Rover is $73.26 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 4,600 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shadowood. 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 Shadowood 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 Shadowood 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 Shadowood 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.
