“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Nice was a pleasure to work with. From the meet and greet through the weekend, she was very communicative and just so sweet with our senior pup. He developed a bit of a GI bug and she hand fed him chicken to make sure he got his pills down. She sent photos and updates each day and left our house tidy. I would definitely recommend working with Nice for your pet care/house sitting needs!”
“April watched my pups for 5 days & did Wonderful. This is our first time leaving them and she kept my mind at ease with daily updates & pictures. I could tell my dogs adored her. Would def recommend her to friends and family as well as book her again in the future!”
“Alicia is excellent! Watched our dogs over a weekend for us and took them on multiple walks, played with them in our backyard, brushed them, and sent plenty of update of pictures so we could see how much fun they were having with her. We would love to have her watch our pups again the next time we are out of town!”
“As always, Patricia does a fantastic job while staying with my pup! The house is as I left it and my dog is happy. I will continue to use Patricia as long as she is available!”
“Hannah was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our pets and kept us updated while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-loved pets and couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Hannah and will definitely book with her again!”
“Jeffrey was so caring and sent pictures everyday! Compass really loved him. She would look for him after he left. Definitely recommend him to dog sit! I was worried about leaving my dog for the first time but she was in good hands”
“Carissa took wonderful care of our 2 young kitties while we were away for our wedding weekend and also our overseas honeymoon - 2 weeks in total. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and it felt like our boys were truly loved by her 😊 We knew from her profile and conversations that she had done more dog sitting than cat sitting, but we felt she did a great job of getting to know and connect with our cats while we were away. She snuggled lots with our snuggly boy and “cracked the code” to bond with our other kitty who can be a little feisty and particular 😂 We came home to a clean house and peaceful kitties. Thank you, Carissa - we’d be happy to have you back in the future!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job. Our dogs have never been separated from us and they were content and themselves on our return. The house was the same as we left mail neatly stacked on the counter. Couldn’t ask for more”
“Jon & Serenity did a great job house sitting / watching our dog Ella Mae. She's 14 and isn't great controlling her bladder. Serenity did a great job of getting her outside when she could and cleaning up the pee pads when she didn't make it out. The communication was good. Would use them again. Thanks, jjm.”
“Kristen is amazing with our 3 Siberian Huskies, especially our super senior dog that is 15.5 years old. She takes of the dogs, the house and always keeps us updated. We love having her watch our dogs.”
“Felicity did a wonderful job! I genuinely felt like she cared for my pets as if they were own and she sent me so many pictures !! I will definitely utilize her in the future and I hope others do too ! 🥰”
“Janelle was so wonderful with our young pup and shared nice updates and ample photos throughout the day. We knew Milo was in good hands the whole time. Bonus: Janelle took meticulous care of our home too (pretty sure it’s cleaner than when we left her with it!). Thank you, Janelle!!!”
“Highly recommend! Cindy was responsive, professional, and incredibly kind to our dogs. We received updates and came home to a clean home and two happy Newfoundlands. We will definitely book again!”
“My girls absolutely adored her! They were well taken care of. I got all the fun updates and pictures. My two dachshunds can really be a handful but they warmed up to Margie so fast. I definitely will use her again in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sherrelwood is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherrelwood
Jana is absolutely amazing! She made sure all of my dogs were not stressed while we were away! Sent pictures, where it showed that were comfortable and happy. I was very nervous leaving them, but Jana did such an amazing job! I don't travel a lot because of the dogs, but now I feel better about leaving them a few days because I will contact Jana again!
Elizabeth is the best! She watched our cat Panda and our dog Marley and was so attentive and kind. She followed our special care instructions (our cat needs medicine and our dog can’t use stairs). She communicated when she would arrive and leave and sent plenty of updates! Overall I was beyond happy and felt at ease while being away. She is really the best 😊
My wife and I have a blind husky who is very shy, Patricia has been patient with her and allowed her to open up on her time. This is the second time we have used Patricia and Kiara looks so much more comfortable every time she sends us a picture! I love how communicative she is and appreciate all the updates we get. A disabled pet can be hard to be away from, but when Patricia watches her we feel very comfortable in knowing she's getting properly taken care of and loved!
Erika did a wonderful job with my puppy. She was on time, communicative, sent videos and photos, followed care instructions, and my puppy was so happy to see her. Coordinating with Erika was very simple and she was super accommodating to my requests. I would definitely book her again.
Maria and her husband Omar took such amazing care of Odin! Exceptional communication, thoughtful updates, and total peace of mind knowing our pup was in good, experienced hands. They left our home spotless, too. We’ll definitely be calling them for future trips!
Brandon is the BEST! Our dog sitting hero, our favorite person, and our dog’s favorite person. We unexpectedly had to find a new dog sitter while we were out of the country and Brandon swooped in like our knight in shining armor and saved the day. We truly can’t say enough good things about him. He is communicative, thorough, responsible, detail-oriented, and genuinely loves dogs. Our dog is very anxious and Brandon went above and beyond by carefully administering her medication, keeping a close eye on her, and making sure she stayed safe and comfortable. We are beyond grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation. THANK YOU, BRANDON!
Miranda is so wonderful I almost want to gatekeep how great she is. She communicated so well with us before even our meet and greet and then confirming before our trip and the day before we were supposed to return. This was very helpful as we were of course super nervous about leaving our babies and overwhelmed with the trip in general. We did choose to board our youngest pup to keep the house less stressful for everyone and we think that was the perfect balance. Miranda was understanding that we had to order more bags for the liter robot and also helped us when we had our poop scoop service come and they needed the dogs contained for their visit. She even wrapped the pups in blankets and watched movies with them when it thundered to keep them calm. Coming home, our dogs were happy to see us but not in distress from our absence like they have been before. Usually they whimper and won’t leave our side for days. This time they were happy to see us but they were also very calm, like they knew they wouldn’t be alone for long. Our only regret is not having the chance to make our home more like a vacation for her while we were on our vacation. 💜
Abby is by far the best sitter we’ve had on the Rover app. She has watched our goldens twice now and both times she has been so professional, kind, and gentle with our dogs. Our dogs got sooo excited to see her the second time she came, remembering her right away. Abby has also been absolutely exceptional with their extra care needs. One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Abby has been so understanding, soothing her when we leave and reporting on how she did when we return. We are so grateful we found Abby! Thank you for watching our crew!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sherrelwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sherrelwood on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,992 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherrelwood. 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 Sherrelwood 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 Sherrelwood 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 Sherrelwood 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.

- 97% 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.
