“Christina did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo. She followed my instructions to a tee and I came back to a spotless house and very happy pups. I would definitely hire her again.”
“I’m so glad we ended up booking with Sandra! This was the first time my husband and I were both gone on a trip for a week since getting our corgi, and I was nervous about leaving the dog and our two cats with a stranger in the house. Sandra set us at ease from the first meet and greet with a warm and pleasant demeanor! She got along great with our dog and two kitties. She sent plenty of pictures during her stay and provided updates on how each of our pets were doing. She was respectful of our property, showed up promptly for the start of the booking as we were leaving for the airport, and stayed until we returned home. I feel great about leaving our fur babies in her hands again, and we will definitely contact her for future pet sitting needs!”
“Betty is the absolute best! This is her second time with us and it was a long stay. She went above and beyond in every way and made us feel so safe and secure! She is truly a gift to our family and we cannot wait to have her back!”
“Kelly stayed with our 2 Westies for a few nights over Thanksgiving. She was great! She sent frequent updates, was responsive to questions, treated the dogs & our home with care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Sophia was professional and kind. She paid close attention to our sweet, medically complex senior gal. We felt confident that Sophia would take good care of Lillie, and are looking forward to continuing to work with Sophia again soon!”
About: Hi, I’m Natasha! I’m new to this app, but have lots of experience walking dogs, daily check-ins, and house sitting. I have 2 Pomeranians, Hazel & Jasmine and a cat, Maple, who live with my mom currently and I visit frequently. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, play, and stay over night with their pets. I have experience with watching puppies, 3+ dogs together, as well as cats and dogs living in the same home. I work in a pediatric dental office 3 days a week, and work at my local yoga studio so I can spend time with your fur babies on my days off. I’m available for walks or check-ins on Wednesdays, and Fridays, and house sitting on the weekends from Thursday night to Sunday. My availability currently is: •Wednesday mornings before 11am. Afternoons between 12:30-6pm. •Thursday evenings after 6pm. •Friday mornings before 1:30pm. Late afternoon/evenings after 3:30pm. •Saturdays and Sundays any time! I’m happy to work with pets of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I appreciate any information about your pet’s special needs and behaviors ahead of time. I will make sure your pet’s schedule is followed closely while you’re away. My priority is that they feel safe and at ease with me.
“Really appreciated Jacki's communication and care with Zoe. Zoe always misses me a lot and I appreciated Jacki's proactivity in making sure she felt safe and happy. Thanks again to Jacki - highly recommend this pet sitter.”
About: I don’t just provide basic pet care - I take the time to understand each dog as an individual. My background has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and build trust with dogs who may need extra patience or support. I’m comfortable maintaining detailed routines, administering oral medications, supporting senior or recovering pets, and providing the calm, attentive care that helps dogs feel secure. With a lifetime around animals and hands-on animal welfare experience, I bring both compassion and practical knowledge to every visit. Animals are already a meaningful part of my everyday life. I naturally incorporate pet care into my routine through outdoor time, activity, patience, and connection. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and creating enriching experiences for animals, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel like their normal routine continues - even when you’re away. I believe pets are most comfortable when they can stay in the environment they know and love. For in-home care, my priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine while providing a safe, calm, and trustworthy presence in their space. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I would want for my own - following your instructions closely, respecting your home, and paying attention to the small details that help your pet feel secure.
“Sophia was amazing!! She was great at keeping me updated while I was on a trip and she even cleaned up a little around before I got home. 12/10 experience and can’t wait to book her for more trips! :)”
About: Growing up with pets, I always had responsibilities surrounding them! My parents made sure that I knew how to properly take care of and love our animals! Aside from taking care of my own pets, I have been a kid nanny for families with pets as well! I have a lot of experience with taking care of and loving other peoples pets and have not had any issues with that. I work from home so my schedule has a lot of versatility! My evenings are typically free after 4pm and weekends typically free as well! I live with other people, so when it comes to my own pets, they are also well taken care of when I am away, so this isn't any conflict there! Aside from what my profile says about my availability (the options are vague to choose from) I would want to discuss deeper on what type of time commitment you are expecting and how I can offer that to you! I would not be able to take care of pets at my home. When I am taking care of your pets, I will take care of them how you ask! If I have concerns or conflicts, I will bring them up to you right away! I know how nerve wracking it can be to put your pets in the care of someone else, so when I am watching your pets, they are my number one priority. I am very plan oriented and can successfully juggle different schedules and situations!
“Bridgette did a great job taking care of our pets. The dogs loved her and were well taken care of. I loved getting the photo and video updates and updates with how they were doing throughout our trip. Thanks for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“Ash was great. She was very thorough about getting to know our pets routines and their boundaries which is amazing! Our anxious/reactive dog was happy to cuddle up with her and she did a good job at administering all of our pets medication. She clearly cares about animals a lot and has a very gentle and calm attitude with pets. Our cat that hates and gets aggressive with everyone but us seemed to hit it off with her which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Ash!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own and others pet companions for years, I know just how much care and attention matters, big and small alike! Animals are very important to me, I’ve volunteered at the humane society helping take care of basic needs such as food and water, grooming, social connection, and cleanly living! I’m excited to connect with your loved companions. Currently I am in school at Salt Lake Community College, this being said Monday mornings and Wednesday morning I am not available. Other than that a schedule and plan can be discussed. Every pet is different! Having clear instruction on how to care for your pet specifically is always helpful. What they like, don’t like and everything in between!
“Cameron is truly the best! She took care of my baby Draco for over a week. My cat is usually shy and afraid of new people but he loved Cameron instantly!! She was very caring, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for my boy especially since he requires special care and attention. Its the first time I’m leaving Draco for a long trip and Cameron always updated me and sent me photos of how Draco is doing so I felt super relieved being out of the country and having Cameron look after Draco. Cameron is the best!! Shes so polite, very communicative and even cleaned after the apartment even though she didn’t have to! She is the best, I am lucky to have found her!! Will definitely recommend her for your fur babies <3”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shalamar
Rachel was wonderful! Highly recommend. She was extremely communicative and sent updates of our pups every day. She was also super flexible with some changes to our schedule, which was so appreciated. She stopped by a few days before to see our home and meet our puppies which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving them with someone new. I would absolutely ask Rachel to watch them the next time I’m out of town. Thanks again, Rachel!
Kaitlyn is amazing. We have a difficult puppy and felt very anxious leaving her. Kaitlyn didn’t skip a beat. She took care of all 5 animals and we came home to clean house as well. She sent us daily updates with pictures and went above and beyond. We will absolutely be using Kaitlyn again.
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with — highly communicative during the entire process, which made figuring things out easy. She came over to meet our dog before we left and was so sweet and pleasant and competent. While we were gone, she sent pictures every day and followed up with details about how he was doing. She paid attention to details and I could tell our dog was so well-cared for. Had the best experience with Sarah! Will absolutely be booking with her again!
Megan is the absolute best! Our boys had the best weekend and we were able to travel with ease knowing they were in such great hands. Great communication and updates throughout the weekend, so we never had to worry or stress how things were going. We are so excited to have found such a great house sitter for future travel. Thanks so much, Megan!
Seth was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to meet our dogs before we had to leave and took time for them to get comfortable with him. He was very interactive and communicative while we were away, and knowing they were being well taken care was a relief! We will definitely reach out to him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! He took care of our 4-month-old puppy for two weeks, and anyone who has had a puppy that age knows they can be A LOT of work! 😅 He was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with her, and went above and beyond just watching her. He actually helped reinforce training and worked with her on good behaviors, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such capable hands while we were away. He kept us updated, took great care of her, and clearly put a lot of time and effort into making sure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. We came home to a happy puppy who had clearly been loved and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Kelly is an outstanding petsitter and homesitter: My wife and I get frequent updates and pictures letting us that our dogs and cats are doing well, which is a huge relief while we’re out of town! She also takes care of our house and leaves it clean for our arrival. Unquestionably Kelly is the best sitter we have had in the many years we have had pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Shalamar is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $86 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,770 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shalamar. 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 Shalamar 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 Shalamar 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 Shalamar 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
