“I cannot recommend Rayven enough! She is everything you could want in a pet/home sitter and more. From our meet and greet to the end of the home sitting visit, it was clear she is clean, caring, attentive, very comfortable with all animals, and consistently goes above and beyond. My cat normally takes some time to warm up to new faces but Rayven almost immediately bonded with our Princess, which was a huge green flag! She was so flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed and we needed her to stay for a while longer. In a stressful situation, she was one thing I did not have to worry about. She provided constant updates on our cat’s well being. She even turned on some cat friendly videos when she left since she knew it would be a few hours before we got home. I will be using Rayven for all our cat-sitting needs.”

“Once again Norma was amazing! She was so flexible with us having to change our flight and stay later than anticipated. Leonard, our cockapoo just adores her and her pup Foxy. We love Norma!”

“Kathleen (Kathy) was excellent! The "boys" were well taken care of by Kathy. She was very attentive to one dog's medicines and making sure that they both went out regularly. I would definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting/house-sitting needs.”

“Once again, Zoe went above and beyond! We came home to happy pets and total peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing our fur babies are in the hands of someone so responsible, loving, and reliable. The updates and photos throughout the stay were a bonus, and we could tell our pets were truly comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely—thank you for treating our home and pets like your own!”

“Abby did a great job taking care of my little girl Millie. She stayed all night and most of the day as she was able to work from home using my Wi-Fi. She walked her and fed her twice a day. I’ve never left her alone overnight before as I’ve only had her five months now and I didn’t want her to be lonely so I felt comfortable leaving her with Abby. Millie seem very comfortable with Abby from the start she was very friendly with Milly. Abby would send me pictures,and Millie looked very happy. Communication went well and responded immediately. I will definitely use Abby again in the future when needed and would highly recommend her for anyone with their pets. She seems to really love animals and enjoy taking care of them.”

“Dominic was amazing. He was kind, respectful and responded promptly. One of my dogs has high anxiety and tends to hide from sitters, with him it is not an issue. He made sure they were played with, felt comfortable, and that they got more than enough attention. It was obvious that the dogs were happy and after we got home they promptly fell asleep after the excitement of our return wore out. Both of the dogs are very hyper and usually take a long walk before bed.”

About: Caring for animals isn’t a side gig for me—it’s what I do every day. I’ve been hands-on with dogs since I was 8 years old, and I currently work with dogs in a professional care setting, handling a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Along with dog care, I have solid experience caring for cats, including feeding routines, litter maintenance, medication support, and respecting different temperaments—from social cats to more independent or shy ones. I understand that cats need patience, consistency, and a calm approach just as much as dogs do. I’ve also fostered puppies through local rescue efforts, helping them build confidence, structure, and social skills before transitioning to their forever homes. I prioritize safety, routine, and trust, and I treat every pet like my own. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and genuinely animal-savvy—not just a sitter who “loves pets”—I’m a great fit! I’m a college student but take my classes online and currently work with dogs, so my schedule is structured, flexible, and built around consistent care. I plan my days to accommodate feeding times, walks, enrichment, and check-ins without rushing. I’m comfortable with early mornings, mid-day visits, and evening care, and I’m intentional about keeping pets on their normal routines. Because animal care is already a core part of my week, caring for client pets fits in naturally and reliably. I have a large fenced in yard and three other playful pups to keep your fur baby company! I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each pet.
“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! 😃”

“For a first-time Rover user with a slightly anxious Cat, it was important for me to find the right sitter. Cherie is kind, empathetic and caring and set my mind at rest. I asked for more communication and she kept me updated on how my cat was doing. I plan to use her again in the coming weeks, but from this initial experience, I highly recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a genuine and warm cat sitter who takes care of your pet (and home) in a personable and trustworthy manner. Thank you, Cherie!”

“This was the first time I’ve ever left my sweet girl with someone other than a family member or friend! He is super kind and took amazing care of our girl Gracie and loved her like his own which was exactly what we were looking for. He sent us pictures and videos on our trip and communicated thoroughly! Will definitely use him again we loved having him!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals—including dogs, cats, and chickens—for nearly all of my 28 years. What started as a lifelong love for animals has naturally grown into a passion for caring for them. I also have experience caring for elderly animals and understand that senior pets may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. My background in healthcare has taught me the importance of being observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs—qualities I bring to every pet in my care. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I strive to give every animal the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to make our time together fun, comfortable, and stress-free while treating your pets like part of my family. 🐾❤️ I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I do work a full-time job, with three days in the office and two days working from home. My schedule is flexible, however, and I’m able to work around most pet care needs and schedules. I’m available full-time Thursday through Sunday, making me especially flexible for weekend stays, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to coordinate weekday care around my work schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make scheduling easy and convenient while providing reliable, consistent care for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and take the time to understand their individual routines, personalities, and needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I respect their familiar environment and do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, responsible hands and are receiving the same love and attention they would receive from you.
“Kira was very thorough and detail-oriented. All of my animals loved her, even with their strange personalities. She sent me a lot of updates and made sure we knew what was going on all the time. I would definitely hire her again!”

“My husband and I have never used Rover before and always took our dogs to a pet hotel for weekend trips but after our experience with Jazmin we are never going back to pet hotels! She really went above and beyond for our pets. We booked her for house sitting and drop ins over the 2 week Christmas break while my husband and I went out of town and she was extremely respectful and communicative throughout the whole process. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and got along great with my Great Dane and Biewer terrier and followed all the instructions we left her. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were well taken cared of and in the comfort of their own home. I will 1000% hire Jazmin again for any of our pet sitting needs!”


“Shanna did an amazing job taking care of our three fur babies! She kept us updated throughout our time away and made sure we knew how each one was doing. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our pups a bath when he was feeling a little itchy. It was clear that she truly cared for them and treated them like her own. Honestly, I think our pups were almost disappointed to see us come home so soon because they were having such a great time with her! We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend Shanna and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”

About: I’ve always loved both cats and dogs. I understand just how special and significant furrbabies are to our lives! I have one 14 year old chihuahua mix, I helped raise and care for my mom’s two 5 year old cats , and I have a 1 year old kitty of my own (cats are all indoors only). I’m comfortable providing your pets with any needs and wants! walking, feeding, cleaning up after them, play, and giving them lots of love and attention! I’m comfortable with multiple pets at once. I love getting to know all of their personalities and I also love teaching them basic tricks, including cats! I currently have a pretty open and flexible schedule , so I have all of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for drop ins and care in your home. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your furrbaby is used to and help them feel as comfy as possible while they’re in my care! :) I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfy in an environment they already know. I’ll always follow any instructions and their normal routine, like feeding, playing, walks, litter boxes, and any other care they may need! :) I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away! <3
“Darlenne did a wonderful job watching our puppy for an overnight stay! She was responsive, reliable, and made us feel at ease leaving her in our home. Our puppy was happy and well-cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Marie was amazing with our three dogs! She sent us the perfect amount of pictures and updates and followed all of our directions as we intended. We came home to a spotless house and three very happy pups. Our dogs are not the easiest to watch, but she understood them and their personalities and handled it perfectly. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many breeds/age and size for years now. Same goes for cats as well! I also own my own chihuahua for 15 years now. I own my own company so I always know my schedule. And I am doing rover as a part time, when I am not busy with work because I am an animal lover and this was the best fit for my spare time! I do not do at my own home, due to my dog being so old I don’t want to stress her. When I do visits, I let your dogs outside when needed and stay out to make sure they have used the restroom before coming back in and also have their bowls already ready for breakfast and dinner. I always clean the bowls afterwards too because of bacteria. I always show your pets so much love when I am with them because I know they miss their owner and remind them each time, day of their owner coming home, that their owner will be home today, they love it and of course already know somehow!

Patricia took care of my dog for a couple days and she did amazing with him. He’s a special little guy with a big personality, and she was able to calm his anxiety very quickly. She sent me pictures often so that helped calm my anxiety too 😊 On top of all that, she was a great guest in our home. I will be booking her again soon! Thank you Patricia! 🙏🏼

Absolutely wonderful!! We booked Samantha for the first time for a 3 week stay at our home to look after our lab Marley. Samantha was so great! She gave us daily updates, photos and videos. She is really easy to communicate with and an absolute gem of a person. She has such a sweet personality and my dog absolutely loved her❤️🐶 Samantha made the whole process easy! In addition to looking after our sweet dog, our home was just as we left it. Tidy and clean. I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone as well!!!

Anna did a great job taking care of our furbaby Bridget who is a very spoiled mixed breed doggy. She was all happy and healthy upon our return home. Thank you Anna. Anna did have a couple of surprises while at our home including an a/c problem and a truck surprisingly starting by itself! She handled everything with calm nerves and common sense. I give her 5 stars for that alone! She also was kind enough to water a few potted plants for us and collect our mail every day. I had never used a dog/house sitter before and was quite apprehensive about it. Now I will not hesitate to call Anna again. Thanks again.

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.

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Shenandoah is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $58 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 3,028 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 , 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.

- 96% 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.
