“A 5 star sitter! Natalie was great with my pups. It was a long-ish stay and they loved having her there. Lots of photos and updates and, most importantly, the pups were happy, safe and well fed when I returned. A wonderful experience all around.”
About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for the past couple of years. I started with family and friends animals and have recently started watching other peoples animals and I really enjoy it. I’ve walked, bathed, feed and swam with pets. I work part time at a movie theater and have a flexible schedule and can request days off if need be or work in the morning rather than night and vise versa if you need morning care. I Can crate dogs if needed, I won’t feed your pet anything unless okayed by owner first. I live to take pictures of animals so I can provide updates if needed. I enjoy walking and running with animals so if they need a walk outside or a ball thrown around a fenced yard I would be happy to do so.
About: Experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, energy levels, and play styles, from active working and sporting breeds to relaxed companion dogs. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, personality, and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a 5 year old Blue Heeler mix and no children, so I have lots of free time for pet care I want to keep your pet’s day as routine as possible, whether that requires set walking, enrichment, or nap times. I will ensure my time with them is comforting and fun.
About: I’ve had two of my own dogs throughout most of my life and two cats my entire life. I’ve recently dog sat for two amazing yellow labs for a whole week. I’ve also pet sat for my neighbors dogs on multiple occasions as well. I am a full time college student who has classes all day Tuesdays and Thursdays but am free during evenings and Monday Wednesday Fridays as well as most weekends. I currently have two cats I feed twice a day but when I had dogs I would walk them in the mornings before school, when I got home from school, as well as before I went to bed.
“Emily was great! She came over to do a meet snd greet beforehand and yo personally go over their care. The dogs were very well cared for and Emily followed all instructions we left her. Will be using her again!”
About: I've taken care of my neighbors cats and dogs since I was 13 years old. I have taken care of pups and seniors dogs/cats! They rely on me to walk, feed and entertain them. I am very flexible with scheduling. Im available weekdays and weekends at any time and place. Let me know what works for you and we can figure something out! I have 3 dogs (2 young labradoodles and a senior shitzu). I feed them and take them for walks daily. My senior dog needs extra care such as diaper changing and making soft food for him. I can feed, walk, entertain and bathe your pet.
“Kaitlynn has been so wonderful to work with! My dog has anxiety with strangers and she has been so patient with her while working to gain her trust. She is very easy to talk to and to work with and I am excited to continue working together in the future! She followed all routines accordingly including walking, feeding and giving medication. I can’t say enough great things about her!”
“Lucas was amazing with my 8 year old Aussie, Cali, and 16 year old cat, Chili. I was gone for 2 weeks and received updates and photos almost daily of my babies. No doubt they were taken care of and loved by Lucas. I would highly recommend him and will be using him in the future. Blessed to have found him!! ☺️”
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, as well as my childhood dog. I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter for years. I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.
About: I love working with animals because I can advocate for them as they don’t speak the same language as us. I graduated with a degree in Animal Science and currently work as a veterinary assistant, so I bring both knowledge and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I’m trained to notice when something may be off whether it’s changes in behavior, appetite, or physical signs and I’m comfortable doing basic checks like gentle palpation. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority, and I treat every animal like my own. I am available for full-weekend care and Weekday evening visits. Because I work a standard 9–5 schedule during the week, I dedicate my Saturdays and Sundays and weekday evenings to giving your pets my undivided attention! Feel free to reach out though, I can be flexible :) My top priority is providing care that respects both your home and your pet’s established routine. I strictly follow all owner instructions to ensure boundaries are never crossed, as I want both you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and at ease.
About: I have worked as a Kennel Attendant taking care of multiple dogs at a time while also caring for my own dogs and taking care of family pets and or friends pets. Whether it be feelings, taking on walks, talking outside for the bathroom, bathing and spending time with our furry friends. I have always had a strong love for dogs of all sizes and would love to meet your furry friends! I am a little new to this app to bear with me and I appreciate all your requests!! I am currently finishing my senior year of school online and am currently working part time. I have some days and times available to hangout and come see your furry friends! I would love to hear from everyone about times and days and we can chat about what works for the both of us! I am very flexible while also being very flexible about pet care times! Thank you so much for your time and consideration! I have a fenced in backyard and two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I can crate your dog if needed but would always love to have them out and about.
“Excellent sitter. Victoria handled one of our dog’s specific mobility needs perfectly. Knowing she had everything under control really eased the separation anxiety for both us and the dogs. The house was left exactly how we found it—couldn't be happier with the choice. Will definitely be booking Victoria for future trips!”
“Angela took great care of our two dogs, braving freezing and snowy weather and sending us lots of updates and photos. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!”
“Emma is extremely responsive, followed my (overly) detailed instructions impeccably, kept me updated with frequent pictures/status updates, and showed my dogs the amount of love I expect from a sitter. I'd be elated to have her back to watch Friday and Buster again!!”
About: Hi there! I’ve had both dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is truly something I love. Whether it’s tossing a ball at the park or just hanging out for some cuddle time, I always make sure pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. This my full time job so you pets are my priority. I will make sure they don't feel lonely, get plenty of attention, walks, and of course treats. I am a military veteran and am trustworthy, honest, and punctual! I will always be there if I say i will. Please don't hesitate to contact me.
About: I love pets and house keeping and would love to help you with yours! I take pride in offering thorough care to put you at ease when you go away. I look forward to working for you and your pets! I work a part time job that is extremely flexible and allows me to work from home, meaning I can look after your pets in the exact way you want! I can spend as little or as much time as you want with them! I want your pets to feel like they are on vacay with me! I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.
“We were visiting on vacation and wanted someone to sit with our senior pup while we explored the town a bit. Gracie was great. She helped us out on short notice and was very nice and took great care of Bruce allowing us to be able torelax and enjoy the day worry free knowing he was in good hands!”

Unless otherwise noted, I keep a variety of treats and toys on hand and keep a large gravity water bowl available at all times.
“Heath was so great! This was my first time using rover, as well as having someone stay in my house with my dog while I was gone. I’ve always left my dog with friends who know him and his quirks so I was super nervous leaving him with someone who didn’t know him well. Heath came to my house to meet us and get details, then when the time came Heath sent me daily updates with photos so I didn’t have to wonder how my dog was doing! Overall it was a super great experience and I’m so happy I chose Heath. I will book again for my next trip and recommend to anyone new/nervous/or just wants a kind animal sitter!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Shannock is $68 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $107 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 of October 2026, there are 1,027 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shannock. 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 Shannock 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 Shannock 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 Shannock 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.
