“Mariah was very attentive to my instructions and left my house looking spotless. She made sure to send plenty of updates and my boys looked like they had a blast. Highly recommend Mariah!”
“Johanna was fantastic with Luna and Pete. They were very comfortable and happy with her and instantly cuddled with her the day we left. When we arrived back home they were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Johanna.”
“Jeffrey did a great job with my dog. She was content when I got home & not overly clingy, which tells me she felt safe in his care & got plenty of attention. 10/10 would book again.”
“Nicole is the best, and me and Cubbie are lucky to have her to help us out. My lil man is having issues and she handled his issues with care and professionalism. Nicole's awesome and we appreciate her.”
“Elena was great and my pups loved her! I never had to wonder what they were up to because she sent plenty of pictures! They got lots of walks and playtime and seemed sad she was gone when I arrived home! I would definitely book her again!”
“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”
“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.”
“Kate was amazing. She stayed overnight to care for our cat while we were away. She was very communicative, responsible, and took great care of our cat. I highly recommend.”
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“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!”
“Ras is awesome to work with! She is responsive and flexible. It was clear during our meet and greet and her messages while spending time with my pups that she has experience in working with all types of dogs and I feel confident in her ability to take great care of them. I look forward to continuing to work with her!”
“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.”
“Magdalena went up and beyond. I was nervous leaving my dog. Magdalena eased my mind at the meet and greet. She sent pics and cute texts every day. She cleaned the house, which wasn't expected, yet appreciated. When I came home my dog didn't care I was there. She's probably wondering where Magdalena was. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Michael took great care of our dogs while we were out of the country. Super communicative and we came home to happy, loved on fur babies! Huge relief because we’ve had negligent sitters in the past and you could tell by how the dogs responded when we returned. Michael is kind and was flexible when our flights were modified to leave. Can’t thank Michael enough for the great care, Moose and Charlie are always love to see them and it puts my mind at ease.”
“Joely did an AMAZING JOB, she took care of my dogs at the last minute while I underwent a minor emergency procedure at the hospital. She fed them, played with them and took them out 3 times a day. I am so appreciative of her help and look forward to rebooking her, I definitely recommend her!”
“Amanda sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away and really took the time to get to know our dogs! She left the house clean and we would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”
“Ashlene was absolutely incredible with my fur baby Roxy. Sent me constant updates and photos which I really appreciate. Roxy loved her immediately. We are looking forward to having her again!! 10/10”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shady Hollow
Johanna was a blessing taking care of my elderly dog in our own home. She maintained Star’s schedule of meds and activities and treated her often to her favorite playtime with her tennis BALL! She sent sweet updates with photos. She left my home clean and neat as a pin! It was truly a relief to be able to enjoy my trip to Ireland while knowing that my 14 year old slightly frail pup was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Johanna and book her again in a heartbeat! Her care is invaluable 💗
Tiffany is AMAZING! My dogs both got skunked during her stay and she handled the situation SO well. She let us know immediately and took care of my Great Dane when she got scratched during the ordeal and was bleeding quite a bit. She kept us updated and made sure they were comfortable and safe and that the house was cleaned up. Not only that, but she also stayed close to my golden during fireworks on the fourth knowing he gets spooked AND cleaned up another health issue my Great Dane had during her stay. I hope after all that she would want to watch our pups again because we’d trust her entirely to take care of them again! Thank you for your patience and care with our babies during your stay. We cannot recommend Tiffany enough.
Jenna did great with our dogs, including our elderly beagle who can be a picky eater. She was always timely with their walks and meals, and reporting back to me on their status. She even fed our turtle! Jenna was also friendly and relaxed when we met, and willing to provide extra cuddles to our other cuddle monster. Thanks, Jenna! Peach, Walter and I look forward to working more with you in the future!
Brandon took terrific care of our elderly pup while we were gone for a few days. He was kind, courteous, prompt and communicative. Our old dog was in a great mood when we returned home. We look forward to working with him again and would certainly recommend him to anyone..
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!!
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! 🐾💕

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 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 4,565 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
