Angie did a great job watching our two dogs. She updated us often and sent lots of great photos. She was a great house guest and we look forward to having her watch our pups again.

Absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and communicative. Our girls were super relaxed and happy when we got home to a very clean house. 10/10 would book again. Thank you for all of the pics and updates on our girls over the course of your stay.

I would be so happy to have Elishamaria watch Chalupa again. She arrived on time, communicated well, was super professional, and our puppy was very happy under her care. She watched our dog at the hotel where we’re having our wedding celebration.

About: Animals have been a part of my life forever, and caring for them isn’t a job for me — it’s truly a passion. I’ve owned animals my entire life and currently have dogs, who are very much like my kids. I understand how important trust, consistency, and love are when someone is coming into your home to care for your pet. I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walking, making sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Whether that’s a refreshing walk, playtime, feeding, litter box care, or just some extra cuddles and reassurance, I treat every visit as if it were my own pet. I’m also a mom to three girls who absolutely adore cats and dogs and have grown up learning how to be gentle, respectful, and loving with animals of all personalities. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy in their own home. When I visit, your pets aren’t just being checked on — they’re being genuinely cared for. ❤️🐶🐱 I am of mom of 3 school aged girls! Mid day walks are my speciality! During school days off- I have little helpers that love playing with dogs and cats! (With your approval, of course!) I offer drop ins and overnight care when requested. Dogs are always happiest in their own homes. I have dogs , and can accommodate 1-2 more depending on size and temperament.

Emily is AMAZING and did a fabulous job house + pup sitting while we were out of town. Her warm and caring manner instantly won our pups over and they had a wonderful weekend together. Emily’s proactive communications both before and during her stay here were very reassuring and appreciated. Can’t say enough great things and hope to use Emily many times in the future!!

Christine bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.

Katelynn house, dog, and cat sitted for us for an extended weekend away. She kept us up to date with plenty of photos and messages. We had an early morning flight and she went out of her way to let our pup outside (in the pouring rain) at 6am before she headed to work for the first day. Furthermore, we came back to a picked up house with clean sheets and towels in the guest room. 11/10 rating from my wife and I! Thanks for taking great care of our fur babes! We will certainly be booking with Katelynn for future trips and care. ?

I can't say enough about my experience with Cassandra! She was amazing with Antonio, kept him busy and happy. We received many pictures and videos which made our trip so much better knowing he was happy! I would recommend Cassandra to anyone looking to have a reliable, loving and competent dog sitter. Cassandra stayed at the house while we were gone and left things immaculate! We will be using her for our next trip. Thank you

We recently hired Emily to stay overnight with our two dogs and our super senior cat while we were out of town. We’re very careful and selective about who cares for our pets, so it says a lot that we felt very comfortable with her. Emily was attentive, reliable, and followed our requested schedule — from feeding timelines to bathroom breaks and walks. She was great about keeping us informed and sent pictures throughout her stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about our animals and took her responsibility seriously. When we returned home, we could tell our pets were well cared for. As a thoughtful touch, she even left homemade biscuits for us, which was incredibly kind. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again.

This is the second time Sophie has cared for our two cats, and she’s been wonderful each time. She gives them so much love and playtime, and keeps us updated regularly, which we really appreciate. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. They were happy and content when we got back.

Nikeyu filled in at the last minute to house sit for an evening when our scheduled sitter had an emergency. She was very prompt, friendly, patient and gentle with our senior pup who is mostly blind and deaf. She followed my many directions (I'm a worried Mom) and everything was in perfect order and our pup was in great spirits when we returned. We enjoyed meeting her and will definitely have her watch our boy again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shekomeko

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Shekomeko on Rover is $75.48 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 525 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shekomeko. 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 Shekomeko 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 Shekomeko 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 Shekomeko 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 Shekomeko. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
