“Rose was absolutely wonderful! Her communication and updates were perfect. I loved getting pictures of my pup all throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for kind and reliable sitter! I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“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!!!”
“Kamilla stayed at our house and took care of our two young cats for a little over a week. She was very communicative, took great care of the cats and was very respectful of our home. We have already booked her for two more upcoming trips and we would highly recommend her to anyone else!”
“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!”
“Bryson was awesome with our dog!! Our pup can be wary of new people but he warmed up to Bryson within seconds! It was amazing to watch. Bryson was super flexible with time and the pre-meet and sent updates while we were gone. We would definitely book him again.”
“Nicole did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. Her communication was great before and during the stay. She left the house clean. I highly recommend her! I could tell she took care of Altai as of her own!”
“Danielle was great! She took amazing care of our dog Bean while we were gone for a 10 day trip, and she made us feel very at ease. Lots of photo updates, attentive care, and overall just a great experience.”
“Adyson was wonderful with Minni this past weekend! 🐾 We really appreciate her help, and the photos and video she sent were so cute — it was clear Minni was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! Nikki was incredibly communicative from start to finish, providing regular updates that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for our dog — he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we returned. On top of that, she left our home spotless and tidy, which we truly appreciated after traveling. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter!”
“Maribel is a phenomenal sitter! We used Maribel for a week+ trip and she watched our dog and cat in our home. She was quick to reply and sent daily updates to us, she took care of the house and left it in great shape. Our animals looked loved and happy throughout our absence, and when we got home both animals seemed very well cared for. We plan to use Maribel again in the future to watch our girls! Absolute five star care!”
“Maggie was exceptional throughout the entire process and I highly recommend her services! We had three dogs and she gave each of them the loving they needed while we were away, while providing us updates of all the fun they were having together!”
“Jenna was amazing with Mickey and with last minute coordination on my end. She was clear and communicative with any questions she had and left my home exactly how I left it. Honestly really appreciate Jenna’s flexibility and kindness with Mickey!”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our two dogs and cat, everyone was healthy and happy when we got home. She went over and beyond to tidy up the house and make sure all was good at the end of the house-sitting stay, which we appreciated!”
“Emma was great! Very communicative and gentle with my dog who has some bladder issues as she ages. She gave her company and cuddles. I know my girl was happy to have her around. I will definitely book Emma again!”
“Michael was great and was very helpful in securing a short-notice sitter. He was flexible and able to adapt to my larger pack. Very communicative and was able to accommodate their various needs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a sitter who may have a less typical pet situation.”
“Kayla is amazing with our 2 senior dogs! She is so sweet and communicative; she sent lots of photos and updates which we appreciated very much. Our boys clearly loved their time with her, and we came back to them looking totally happy, healthy, and well-cared for. She was a lovely house guest as well. Would love to have Kayla back time and time again! 🩵🩵”
“James was extremely communicative with daily updates and photos. He left the house in great shape and even dealt with a couple random events while we were gone (power outage, smoke detector battery). Would happily use again!”
About: I’ve had cats pretty much my whole life and have six years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and understanding what makes them feel comfortable. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I love a good cuddle session with pets who enjoy affection, but I’m just as happy to quietly keep a more reserved pet company. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I’m getting a new job in about a month and would love to be able to spend some of my free time caring for your pets! I have a pretty wide-open schedule and could be flexible around yours. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to follow any specific feeding instructions, walking routines, and household guidelines you provide. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, respect your home, and send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!
“Sabrina was great with our dogs and kitty while we were away! She was communicative with updates and questions. She shared pictures of our animals as well. She was also good about taking them on walks so they could get some exercise. We will definitely be using Sabrina’s services again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherrelwood
We’ve known Katy for nearly 4(!) years now and she is truly the only sitter that we are okay being with our (not so easy) dogs. We just came home from a weekend trip, and the dogs said hello to us and then put on their saddest faces when Katy left. Now they’re completely passed out. We always come home to tired, happy pups and the house exactly as (or better than) we left it!!!
McKenzie was great! She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated about my Dog. My dog was also a big fan, and he is often indifferent with sitters. He spent his time downstairs enjoying life with Mckenzie, rather than sulking upstairs. Highly recommend! Thanks so much!!!
Miranda is absolutely wonderful. I am so so grateful for her expertise and thoughtfulness. She took such good care of Wyatt, doing topical treatments and giving multiple medications for an infection and concurrent lupus flair-up. She was also so kind and flexible in accommodating my schedule, even changing the linens and making the bed for me, knowing I would be getting in late after driving all day. I could not recommend her more.
Taylor is an exceptional sitter. We are anxious, protective dog parents to a sensitive doodle with special diet requirements. Taylor handled him perfectly over a 4-night stay. She communicated regularly and proactively, sending multiple pictures each day. I felt completely comfortable with our pup in her care and won’t hesitate to use her again!
Becca was great handling our two boys! Both initial meetings may have scared someone who isn’t comfortable with overly excitable dogs away, but Becca was calm and confident with them. On top of having a deaf puppy and jealous older brother, one was also diagnosed with a severe ear infection the day before we left and given an intense medication routine — we came home to a clean home, a cleared ear infection, and two happy pups! Thank you SO much Becca!
Isabel was incredible! We left our two Aussies with her (one being a very high energy pup) for over two weeks while we were traveling out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a more kind, caring, and responsible dog sitter. She sent pictures of them daily, which was such a treat, and she left the house in great shape. She provided important updates and was so flexible with our needs. I can’t recommend her enough!
Liz was an amazing sitter. She was the best communicator and loved on our pups. She let us know if anything came up and made sure to send photos of dogs. She treated with such care that when we came back, we could tell it was like we never left. She even left some sweet mini photos of our pups for us and sewed up a couple toys that our dogs love to tear up. She went above and beyond! We would absolutely love to have her sit for our dogs again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sherrelwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sherrelwood is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $99 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 8,882 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 , 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.
