“Caleb was so kind and thorough. He kept everything clean, made sure my pup got his pills, and gave us plenty of updates. I have a stranger-shy pup, and Caleb worked with us to make it all work out wonderfully. I will definitely be using him again.”
About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime and I especially love dogs! My favorite thing to do in the evening after taking a walk is to cuddle with a sweet puppy, a book (or Stardew Valley) and a hot tea. In my free time I like to paint and crochet, ask me about my headscarves! I currently work part time as a secretary so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet as well as short turn around for your last minute trips. I love to take walks so I can provide any exercise needed. I have cared for shy, nervous and high energy pups. I also have experience with giving dogs medication and caring for elderly dogs. I am comfortable with multiple dog homes and I'm very flexible to your pups particular needs.
About: I have had pets my whole life, I love animals and will ensure they get active attention and care. Their needs will always be met and more. I will play with them and walk them and care for them like my own! I am working 3-5 days a week at a restaurant, I can pet sit any time I am not working and I am willing to share my availability for the week since it will change from a week to week basis but I only work about 25-30 hours a week. I care for my pets by giving them plenty of love and treats and teach them some tricks along with enrichment like fetch for my dogs and some cuddles for my cat so I will treat your fur babies with the same standard of care.
About: I've raised and trained many animals from dogs to cats and even birds sense I was 9. I LOVE animals and I hope one day I can make a profession out of it. I can walk, feed, bathe your pets. I plan on getting my liscence to train very soon too. I can't wait to meet you and you wonderful pets! I have recently found a weekend shift job position Friday through Sunday. So i will definitely have Monday to Thursday free for puppy play dates! I have a very nice big yard with plenty of space for your fur baby to play. It is half fenced, but there aren't any other animals around. There is an amazing park with a dog track near my house so your pet will get plenty of exercise too!
“This was our second time booking with Meaghan. It was just as easy to set up as last time and made for a stress free vacation. She is very responsive and easy to work with. Our dogs have truly come to love Meaghan, and based on the pictures she sent, I’m not sure they even knew we were gone! Meaghan went above and beyond taking care of our pups this week, including bringing a bag of toys for them to play with, and making a pupsicle treat that even my picky husky enjoyed. She sent tons of updates and the cutest pictures, and she even mentioned an improvement in the anxiety levels of my dogs compared to her last visit. Our house was left spotless and our dogs were happy, healthy, and obviously loved on and spoiled while we were away. Highly recommend Meaghan to anyone needing a dog sitter, and will 100% continue to book with her!”
“Hannah was awesome! She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. Nala warmed up to her super quick! She stayed over night and took took good care of dog and house. Would have her watch our dog again.”

I am available anytime after that time or before. I am also available any time on the weekends!

About: I have a 3 year old, Blue Heeler, fixed and VERY energetic! Let’s get ours together for some puppy play dates at the local dog park! They’ll have so much fun together! He’s always gotten along with every animal he has ever met and he definitely needs more friends to play with. So, not only is this going to socialize your pup AND mine but it helps you out too! We’ve got plenty of toys and a large fenced in backyard that everyone will enjoy. We don’t do cages in this house, so you know you’re baby will be free to roam and make themselves comfortable with their surroundings while you go do whatever silly human things you need to do. Let’s have fun, guys!
“We were so lucky to find Nicole ! We decided to go with her after reading all the raving reviews she has received, and we now understand why. This young lady loves animals. She really keeps them entertained and content why we were away. We were away for 2 1/2 Days and booked her for two overnight care dates. She requested a written format of our dogs schedule ( we have three small ones ) and took care of all their needs just like we would have. In addition to the great care , she watered my plants and left my home neat and clean. Nicole is wonderful and we will definitely be calling her again.”
“Sydney was a great sitter. She was informative about Bailey while we were away. She was prompt and as well as she was able to take us last minute especially with how hectic Masters had the local area. Thank you so much and I look forward to booking her again!”
“A top-notch caregiver for my two kitties and I have worked with many sitters in the past 10 years. I chose Asha because she has experience with special needs pets. She was willing to house sit with my babies so that she could express the bladder of my special needs girl. She fed, watered, brushed, loved and expressed the bladder of my little one every 6 hours to keep her on schedule day and night. If you are hesitant about traveling because of your fur babies, call Asha. She is delightful, willing, clean, communicative and observant. She will care for your home and your pets as her own. There are not enough stars for me to recommend Asha highly enough! She is a personable, professional, and experienced lover of animals… I have already talked with her about future sits. She is the answer to my prayers and my babies love her!”

“Jasmine did a great job with our dogs and was very communicative with pictures and updates! She also took great care of the home! It was just as we left it. Even when my golden retriever pulled out some of my personal belongings she respectfully put them back. I would consider Jasmine very responsible and she has great character; it was also extremely nice to meet her because she was exceptionally pleasant and kind.Thanks again, Jasmine”

FAQs for House Sitting - Shell Bluff
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 261 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shell Bluff. 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 Shell Bluff 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 Shell Bluff 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 Shell Bluff 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 Shell Bluff. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
