“Our dogs loved Osvaldo from the moment they met him! He kept the house spotless, sent the best photo updates, and took incredible care of our two pups. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a clean home. We cannot wait to book him again!”
“Bryanna was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, reliable, and took such great care of our dogs while we were away. Our dogs loved her, which gave us so much peace of mind! She also sent frequent updates and pictures, so we always knew how they were doing. We had a great experience with Bryanna and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets. We would definitely book with her again!”
“As always, Jasmine was absolutely wonderful and caring with our puppy, Ares! She takes such good care of him, plays with him, and pays close attention to all his needs. I love getting her updates and photos while we are away. We absolutely love Jasmine and cannot recommend her enough!❤️”
“Kelli is just the sweetest person and excellent with animals. Our dog really loves her, seemingly more than some of our previous sitters. She reaches out with pictures and updates. She is respectful with our house and leaves it very nice. She’s genuinely just a really kind and generous person. She’s my favorite go to sitter!”
“Alyssa is truly amazing. She responds nearly immediately every time, she sends updates and photos. I felt so comfortable with her at my home from the start, and my dogs got the best care. I am so blessed to have been connected with Alyssa. She noticed the smallest nick on my male bulldog (he is crazy and bangs his body up on everything, she’s at zero fault) she immediately sent me photos and was concerned as if it was her own. She went above and beyond, cleaning her room, areas she was in and her bathroom. I am 100% booking again!!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for families for several years, including overnight stays and in-home care. I've also grown up around both dogs and cats, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications, and following detailed care instructions. I know being away from your pet can be stressful, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you're away. 🗓️ AVAILABILITY: Mon–Thurs after 5 PM • Fri–Sun open availability I’m available for evening care Monday–Thursday and have flexible/all-day availability Friday–Sunday! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a podiatry office as a medical assistant so my weekends and evenings are usually free and I have plenty of time to care for other pets. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I keep their normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. For overnight stays, I make sure pets have company and feel comfortable in their own home while their family is away. I’m also respectful of the home and keep everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I want each pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always been very hands-on with the pet care at home. I am a trusted pet babysitter amongst my family. I value the pet’s mental health and happiness especially while their owner is away. I am a part-time college student, and I work at a catering company with a highly flexible schedule, so I can work around your needs. I try to encourage a stress free environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, making sure that they’re happy and healthy, as they would be under your own care.
“Sharon was amazing with my nervous, reactive dog! She was so patient and calm, and it really showed—my pup was relaxed and happy when I got home. I’m so grateful to have found someone who really understands dogs like this. Highly recommend!”
“Another wonderful sitting with our cat Hope and Janicia! Hope is a very needy cat, that craves company and gets stressed without human interaction. I appreciate that Janicia was able to stay with her for two weeks during the December holidays. We came home to stressed free cat!”
“Honestly so peaceful to not worry about my dogs! Everything went so smooth and Alyssa was keeping me in the loop often! Definitely recommend if you are looking for someone reliable and truth worthy.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She was available on short notice on a holiday weekend to watch my cat and my current foster dog (who only has three legs!) Kaitlyn went out of her way to go over the tripod's care and gave me updates on her improving mobility. She took great care of our pets and our home and I would use her again!”
“Sherry is always responsible, on time and caring for our five dogs. She has watched them several times for us and we already have her booked for a future vacation. Thank you Sherry, we appreciate you more than you know.”
About: I have a genuine passion for animals and hope to become a veterinarian in the future. I currently work with dogs, which has given me hands-on experience understanding their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different ages and energy levels, and I’m always willing to give extra attention to young, senior, or nervous pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for regular visits and can work around your pet’s feeding, playtime, and care needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to giving each pet the attention they deserve. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet I care for. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their space clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured. I’m patient and attentive with every animal and always treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.
“Tori is an amazing pet sitter! She cared for my two large, energetic dogs for 4 days in my home. She kept me informed with photos and notes so I could relax, knowing my dogs were happy and safe. Tori reached out to clarify instructions to ensure the dogs' safety. The dogs absolutely love her! She is The Best!!”

“We just moved to FL and were so nervous about leaving our pups for the first time with someone new. We have two seniors so that always adds another element of worry. Turns out I had nothing to worry about after all. We felt totally comfortable leaving our babies and they seemed to have a fun day!! I loved our updates throughout the day! Thank you so so much!”
About: I have decided to not work the 9to5 jobs anymore and to do what I'm passionate about, furbabies. I am not new to taking care of doggies and cats, just new to advertising. I've grown up with dogs. I have been fostering and rescuing for 10 years. I have experience with the bouncy happy dogs, the shy and skittish, the ones whom you have to earn their trust.Furbabies are my passion. Each fur baby has their own unique personality and quirks. I have very flexible schedule and can accommodate easily. I don't have a full time job and spend most my days playing with my dogs and cat. I will follow the owners instructions on how they want their fur baby cared for. When I'm watching the fur babies it's all about them

FAQs for House Sitting - Shady Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shady Hills on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,300 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shady Hills. 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 Shady Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shady Hills. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
