“Norma was great! Super communicative and sent great pictures and videos of my pup while she was watching him at my place. He seemed very happy! She also paid good attention to details I left her about his care, which I appreciated. Would definitely use her again.”
“Stacy took great care of my fur baby! She sent me daily updates and pictures of him, and made sure to spend so much time giving him attention. This was my first time leaving Bentley, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in such great hands! She even took him on extra walks, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)”

About: I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember, and I'm the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and just about everyone in my circle. My experience includes working in doggy daycare and animal shelters, where I cared for pets with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Because of that, I'm comfortable handling animals of any size and confident administering medications/taking care of any special needs. Beyond professional experience, I spend my time fostering both cats and dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and cared for while they waited for their forever homes. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires a little extra attention, I strive to provide compassionate, reliable care and treat every animal as if they were my own. i'm currently working full time, i have a dog of my own who i take care of. most of my off the clock hours revolve around making sure she is happy and content! i plan to add your pets needs to that schedule! I have a dog park I use at my complex for some free roaming as well as walks at my nearest park. in home, i can crate if needed or your pet is welcome to hang out around the house with us!
“Angelica did a great job with our pets! She was very reliable, following all of our care instructions. We loved all the pictures and videos she sent us of our pets while we were away. I would definitely use her again!”
“We had Ekaterina stay in our home and watch our dog while we traveled. She came to our house to meet and I knew right away I would book her. She was lovely, great communication, and just seemed like a genuinely nice person. My boys loved her videos and pictures she sent us while away. ! Our flight coming home was delayed another 24 hours and after reaching out to her to stay another night she responded right away and had no problem staying! We truly appreciated her accommodating our last minute flight headache and would 100% book her again! Our dog Cali seemed in great spirits when we got home and I knew she was taken well care of. Thanks again Ekaterina! 😃”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs my entire life and have had my own dog for the past 5 years! I love being outside so anytime the option is available I’ll take advantage of it! I’m currently working full time for the state so I work 8-5 during the week and have every weekend off. I also have all county and state holidays off as well so can be available evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have a fenced in yard with locks/gates so the environment is protected! I typically don’t let my dog outside alone for too long and keep an eye out just in case.
“Zoe was great with our three dogs! One of our pups has special needs and another needs medication, and she handled everything really well. She kept us updated with pictures and communicated throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and the house looked great when we got home. We’d definitely book with Zoe again!”

“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shenandoah
Malachi was wonderful! He house sitting our two dogs for a week and everything went so well! He sent us pictures and kept us updated. We highly recommend Malachi, our crazy dogs absolutely love him. He is a great dog sitter, very respectful and responsible.
I could not be more pleased with Caitlin‘s care of my two pups! I was able to go on vacation for a week and have no worries. One of my dogs is diabetic and needed twice daily blood checks and insulin injections. Everything went seamlessly. She gave me twice daily updates and several pictures per day. Caitlin also watered potted plants for me and took excellent care of my home. I can highly recommend her to anyone needing a house or pet sitter!
After our regular pet sitter canceled on short notice I found Taylor through the app. She was extremely responsive and even offered to come meet the pets prior to watching them for the weekend. She took great care of our pets at our home, and communicated with us to let us know the pets were doing well while we were gone. I highly recommend her. We will be using Taylor again for sure.
Victoria is always our first call when we have to be away. We trust her 100% with our kitty and our house. Our cat is the one who tells us that she's a great sitter--Victoria is the only sitter we've ever had where our cat doesn't act "mad" at us after we return home! (If you have a cat, you know what I mean.) I am going to keep listening to my cat and calling Victoria! She also has fantastic communication and is very professional--all our interactions with her are a pleasure.
Anna was reliable, attentive and genuinely affectionate with my cats. I returned home to happy cats and a well-cared-for house. I would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands.
Clara took great care of our three dogs, including one with special needs. She stayed in communication with us, sent updates, and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and our home was in perfect shape when we returned. We would absolutely book her again!
Nicole and her husband came to visit the dogs beforehand and are very nice people! Took a little too long to reply for us at some times but kept us updated as things arose. We had some damage, from the dogs that was communicated to us, on the baseboards that were a little excessive so we were a little upset about that. The house was very clean when we did come back though!
Samantha watched our 3 dogs for a full week while we were out of state, and we are so thankful for the peace of mind she was able to provide is! She sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip. The dogs loved her and were in great spirits upon our return! The house was left spotless and she even offered to take the trash cans out to the curb on trash day. We will definitely be booking Samantha's services again. Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shenandoah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shenandoah on Rover is $51.62 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 3,054 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shenandoah. 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 Shenandoah 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 Shenandoah 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 Shenandoah 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.
