“Mariah has watched Bear and Ollie over two different weekends in our home. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She goes above and beyond every time—sending lots of photo updates, giving the pups tons of love, and even helping with little things like brushing out ear mats from roughhousing. We always come home a clean house, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We will absolutely book again!”
“Johanna was great with our pups. She arrived on time and always answered my messages. We had some issue with our flight back home and she was very flexible and helpful! Will work with her again for sure”
“Amazing. Jeffery stepped in at the last minute when my trip was unexpectedly extended. He did such a great job with my dogs. Was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. I’ve struggled with some of the sitters on Rover so it was refreshing to have someone who cared and followed through”
“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”
“Nicole's the best, she helped me with my Cubbie when he wasn't well. He's well because Nicole cared about his well being. Nicole is the Best, me and Cubbie appreciate her time.”
“Victoria was great with our senior boys, and they loved meeting her! She was very communicative, sent daily photos, followed our instructions and made us feel comfortable leaving them for a couple of days. We came home to a clean home and happy pups!”
“🌟 **Outstanding Pet Sitter - Highly Recommended!** 🌟 I can't say enough good things about Elena! She has been an absolute gem in caring for my beloved Dubu. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she is not only highly professional but also incredibly caring and dedicated. Caring and Compassionate. Elena truly loves what she does, and it shows. She treats Dubu as if they were her own, providing endless attention to detail whether it is play time, walk time or nap time. Punctual and Reliable. Punctuality is crucial for a pet sitter, and Elena has never missed a beat. She always arrives on time and ensures that Dubu is well taken care of according to our agreed schedule. She has also gone above and beyond in staying longer on days when I was running late. Thank you thank you. Understanding and Attentive. Elena has an amazing ability to understand Dubu’s needs and moods. Whether it's an extra walk on a sunny day or some quiet time on a rainy one, she always knows what Dubu needs. Above and Beyond. What truly sets Elena apart is her dedication to Dubu’s health and well-being. Even outside of her scheduled time, she checks in to ensure everything is going well. This level of care and concern is rare and deeply appreciated. Having Elena in Dubu’s life this year has been a game-changer. She is a true pet lover and a remarkable professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, loving, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Elena, for all that you do! 🐾💕”
“Kasey was so professional, communicative, and patient with my high energy border collie! I was scrambling to find a dog sitter at the last minute, and Kasey saved the day! I will defiantly be reaching out to have her watch blue again in the near future.”
“After a bad experience with a dog sitter last summer, we were understandably hesitant to trust someone with our home and our dogs. Tasha completely changed that for us. She cared for both with exceptional attention, responsibility, and love. For the first time in a long while, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation knowing everything was in great hands. We couldn’t have been happier and will absolutely be using Tasha again and again. Highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Mimi was fantastic. We have somewhat high-needs dogs, including two that don’t get along, and she handled everything so well. She balanced all of their individual needs with so much patience and care, and it was obvious they were getting a ton of love and attention while we were away. She also did lots of enrichment activities to keep them busy and engaged, which we really appreciated. On top of taking amazing care of the dogs, she watered our plants, kept the house in great shape, and sent daily updates that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also came by for a meet and greet beforehand, which helped us feel comfortable from the start. We would absolutely book with Mimi again.”
“Willow was amazing. I am always an overbearing pet parent to my kiddos and she was so sweet always answering my texts and sending me pictures every day. Truly the best!”
“Absolutely amazing! Was so kind sweet loving with my dog and respectful of my place. Needed a sitter last minute and she jumped at it and truly saved me. Will be using all the time! And highly recommend!!”

Trinity took great care of Emi and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated.😊 She also left the sweetest little drawing of Emi with a World Cup theme, which was such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
We loved having Grant house sit our dog Rose. Rose is incredibly picky with who she is comfortable with and she was instantly at ease with Grant. His calm energy was amazing. He gave us great updates and photos and left our house spotless as well. We highly recommend Grant, we were so pleased with our experience with him!!

Samantha was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated with pictures and messages about how my dogs were doing throughout their stay. It was such a comfort knowing they were being cared for by someone who genuinely loves and cares about animals. I could relax knowing my dogs were in great hands. I highly recommend Samanth!
Jeffrey took care of our two dogs and house for a week, and we were so pleased with his careful, loving handling of animals and home. He communicated regularly and we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying. Highly recommend Jeffrey! Super reliable and great to work with.
I had a wonderful house / pet sitting experience with Kaitlyn. Her exceptional reliability and timely communications/updates provided much appreciated travel peace of mind and both of my dogs were happy and healthy. She was very attentive to my "girls" too - even quickly reacting and caring for a heat rash that developed on one of them. Lastly, she took great care of my house too - leaving it clean and tidy. We'll definitely use Kaitlyn for future sittings.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shady Hollow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shady Hollow on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,541 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shady Hollow. 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 Hollow 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 Hollow 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 Hollow 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.
