“Natalie is a really nice person & easy to talk with. She took excellent care of my little fur baby who has separation anxiety & was happy to do 2 meet & greets before spending the day with my dog. I would definitely have her come to my home again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. And I was beyond satisfied. Andrew and his family took incredible care of my dog Buster. Andrew kept me informed daily of their activities, including lots of playtime in the yard, daily walks, and lots of love. Andrew was kind enough to send me lots of pictures, which made me smile every day! I felt very lucky that Buster was being so well taken care of. I will definitely book again with Andrew and his family.”
“Jillian is a stellar pet sitter. She was incredibly reliable, communicative and caring with our two dogs. We have one very mischievous three year old dog who wants to escape our yard and go on adventures and a 17 year old senior who needs special attention. Jillian cared for both of them with confidence and when we returned they were both in good spirits, had obviously received a lot of walks and love and our home was perfectly clean. We will definitely be using Jillian’s services again.”
About: I have taken my mother's lab to trips to the groomer as well as getting her to be patient during bath time. I also taught her to wait for her food to be poured before eating, taught her a few tricks such as, sitting, speaking, and how to walk beside me appropriately on a leash without dragging. I only work part-time for the rest of the year, so my schedule is quite available. I have availability Mondays - Thursdays all day. I can also do overnight stays as well! I have my senior cat roam anywhere in the house, he is mainly outside. However, due to his old age, he is fragile and I don't want to change routine too much, he also needs lots of my attention and affection while I am home. I am willing to come to you instead! reducing the hassle of having to drop-off!
About: I have seven years of experience working with wild animals- mainly black bears, Mexican wolves, and Pacific fishers. In handling these animals, among other species, I have taken rectal temps and know how to count breaths/minute and heartbeats/minute. I have administered fluids and vaccines via syringe, and have drawn blood many times. In between my wildlife work, I have watched many dogs, from a 6 pound chihuahua to a 130 Great Dane puppy. I have stayed in-house and have also stopped by for potty and walk breaks. I can take your dog on a 5 mile walk every day if that’s what it’s into! Or, we can snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. Your pet’s experience will be uniquely tailored to its needs. I’m a wildlife biologist working seasonally in town. My wildlife work will begin again in March, but, until then, I would love to spend some time with domestic animals! I love and care for all kinds of animals- whether mammalian, avian, amphibian, or reptile. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the pet(s) and the home as if it were my own. Pets receive lots of love and attention and walks and treats, while the home is kept clean. I will bring my own food for the days that I am staying there and will make sure everything that I own is gone and the house is clean when you return.
“had to book last minute for an almost two week vacation and Alissa was so accomodating, responsive, responsible, and just overall a delight to work with! Would definitely use her services again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Lorena was absolutely wonderful with our special needs dog, Yuri. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and followed all of his care instructions perfectly—including his strict medication schedule and extra potty encouragement. She even stayed longer at the last minute when we needed extra help, which we were so grateful for. Yuri can be very shy and particular, but he clearly felt safe with Lorena—and that says everything. We would absolutely trust her with his care again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate pet sitter! 💛🐾”
“Sienna is awesome! We left our 3 dogs with her for a week. Our dogs love her! She followed all the instructions for the dogs perfectly. Our house was left just like we left it too. If you need an over-night pet sitter Sienna is the perfect girl.”
“Nicole is a natural with animals. Bailey warmed up to her right away. She tended to Bailey's every need (there were quite a few!) When I got home , I was greeted by a happy dog and a house just as I Ieft it. I would highly recommend Nicole. She is a keeper!”
“We were very happy with Kate, she is very trustworthy and was great about sharing information and pictures with us while we were gone. We recommend her, and will definitely use her service next time we need a sitter ?”
“Lex was absolutely AMAZING! I cannot recommend her enough. She watched Huck and Noey while I was out of town, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She went above and beyond with Huck, taking him on walks and making sure he got plenty of attention, exercise, and love. But what really blew me away was Noey! She is a cat who pretty much hates everyone 😂 and somehow Lex completely won her over. Noey actually came out, hung around with her, and was comfortable spending time with her—which says EVERYTHING about how calm, patient, and wonderful Lex is with animals. It’s such a relief to be able to leave town and know your pets are not only being taken care of, but are genuinely happy and comfortable with the person watching them. Lex is trustworthy, attentive, caring, and clearly has a special way with animals. I would 100% have her watch my babies again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was just a baby, all my family members have had puppies and doggies and can always rely on me to watch them when they’ve needed it. On days that I am not working I would love to be walking or sitting dogs! I usually go for morning and sunset walks everyday so I would be happy to have a friend join me! Also am available to watch dogs while you’re away on vacation, just not at my house because I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment. I will follow exactly how you’d like your dog to be taken care of! Just let me know how you usually do things with them and I’ll do the same, I’ve noticed it’s easier for the dogs because the are used to how their owner does things!
“Simone had great communication and was amazingly flexible with our timing needs - during a holiday weekend on top of that! Having peace of mind while away was much appreciated. She was respectful and easy going. Would definitely have her back to watch my mischievous pittie anytime!”
“We would highly recommend Feliz to any of our friends and family! We have a very anxious pup who also needs some medical attention. She was absolutely amazing with him! He was so comfortable with her! We had a great experience! Especially with it being our first time leaving our pup with someone outside of our family.”
“We have never had anyone stay at our house with our animals before, so the idea of leaving them with a complete stranger was very daunting. Sydney was absolutely wonderful with our two big, rambunctious dogs (2 year old huskies) and four cats. Our house was exactly as we left it and she sent lots of updates so we could see everyone’s sweet faces and how much fun they were having without us! She was terrific about updating us when she got here and letting us know how everything was going. She was always very responsive through the whole process, and it was very clear our animals were all comfortable and enjoying their normal routine with her. We will absolutely have Sydney back, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Carrington is simply put an amazing dog sitter. You can feel it from the moment you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion. My dogs fell in love with her from our meet & greets to now getting to spend a full day of fun & play. I was dreading losing a day with my pups due to work but I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise. Obi & Koda are ready to wind down after a long day of fun with their new best friend. She kept me informed from beginning to end, no anxiety or feeling of dread I know they were both happy all day long with the most adorable pictures as proof. Thank you so much Carrington!”
“Evan was a great house/dog sitter for my 12 year old Aussie!! He sent several pictures so I know she was getting lots of the love and attention! I appreciated that he asked questions to make sure he was taking proper care of her. All of this made me feel comfortable leaving my dog for the weekend. He also left the house very clean showing respect for my property. I hope to use Evan again!!”

Nancy did an amazing job caring for our three dogs, saltwater fish, and bearded dragon while we were away. She kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that all of our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. Nancy went above and beyond to make sure our entire pet family received excellent care. We highly recommend her and would gladly book with her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Shady Glen is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $111 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 Shady Glen 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 Shady Glen 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 Shady Glen 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.
