“Neil stayed over and took great care of our cat and dog while we were gone for 8 nights. The animals were happy and calm when we returned and the house was clean. Thank you so much Neil!”
“I know Levon works mostly with dogs and I was very happy he was available on short notice (I had another rover sitter cancel within a week of my trip) to watch my sweet Anna. She can be shy and she was comfortable with Levon and he was able to give her the medication she needs. He was responsive and kept me updated. I would book with him again!”
“Jamie is an excellent pet and house sitter. She is caring and down to earth, friendly, happy and “gets it.” Left my house sparkling and my animals smiling. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Hannah is always very quick to respond and provides plenty of pupdates. She makes it easy to relax while on trips because we know our dogs and home are well taken care of.”
“Giuliana was very professional and upfront about questions and requirements. My dogs and home were very well cared for. Giuliana provided regular updates and pictures to keep us connected during the week.”
“Sarah did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our 4 dogs. She kept constant communication and sent daily pics which eased our minds and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond what was asked of her and even added to our pups training! We will be booking again when we decide to travel next.”
“Brandon took care of two pups at my place and I am beyond grateful for the care he showed towards them. Also super grateful for the fast response as this was a last minute booking. He seems to really love animals and is open to caring for them the way I think is best, while still using great judgement if something comes up that wasn’t discussed. I recommend Brandon to others who may be looking for a stay-in petsitter.”
“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”
“Did a fabulous job with my nervous baby, my needy baby, and my senior baby with dementia. Super communicative and sent many pix (which helped when I missed them!).”
“Jackie did a great job house sitting and watching my cat, Penny. She is quick to reply to messages, sent photos every day, and left the apartment super clean! I would recommend her highly and will use her services again!!”
“Caitlin was wonderful. She was on time for a meet and greet, and after going over everything, we booked her for a vacation coming up. At the last minute, we needed Caitlin to spend the evening with Luna because our dog was adjusting to losing her companion and changing locations, and we were going out with friends all day and then again all evening. Luna was very chill when we got home late. I look forward to a stress-free vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands with Caitlin.”
“Laura is a doglover, my boxer likes her very much. She took him to his favorite dogpark to meet his friends too. Laura is very responsible and is very friendly to work with. Thanks Laura.”
“William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!”
“Savannah took wonderful care of my adult dog and puppy for the evening. She bonded with the dogs right away, sent plenty of photos and updates, and provided lots of attention with walks in the yard and playtime on the porch. I will definitely use her again.”
“Stacy is fantastic! She took such great care of our fur babies and shared updates/photos throughout our trip. She was responsible, responsive, and left our home even cleaner than when we left - a pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with her again the future.”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Shiloh is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shiloh
David was beyond excellent. Easy to communicate with. My dog ended up having major GI issues while I was away. David was quick to respond over text, he went out of his way to clean up my dog’s uncontrolled diarrhea, and much to my relief, David without complaint took my dog to the vet when I asked him to. I’m so grateful to him for all of that. I would give him 10 stars if I could.
Brittney did really great with our dog who has some behavioral issues and requires daily medication. She spent time with him at the meet and greet and he warmed right up to her and loves her! She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates including pictures, which was appreciated!
I really don’t know what to say! From our in-home visit to the 15 days he took care of our pets, Levon was great! The dogs are spoiled by the walks and care. Kevin at almost daily pictures and was very accommodating. He brought in refrigerated medication, delivered boxes and the mail. When we got home the dogs were happy to see up, but not frantic and seemed very relaxed! We would recommend Levon to all and we will use him again!
This was a last minute booking and we are thankful we were able to make reservations. Axios was great with our pups. He communicated often and ensured we were updated on anything new going on with them. He left the house spotless after a week of being there. We will be booking with him again! Thanks!
Kristen did an excellent job caring for my senior dog, Jazmine, while staying at my home. She provided daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated, and her communication was outstanding. Jaz was happy and well cared for when I returned, and my home was in great shape. I would gladly book with Kristin again
Josephine (JC) was fantastic. She did really well with our dogs when we had a brief meet and greet. She showed up on time on the day that her booking started. She sent us regular updates via text message and photos. The dogs really clearly liked her. I'm very eager to plan another trip and book her again.
Daisy did a great job caring for Olivia while we were gone for 5 days. Olivia was happy and I so appriciated the photos and updates and how much time Daisy spent with her. I also appreciated the extra efforts in keeping all my plants alive! Daisy is wonderful and we will happily use her services again.
Benjamin is a genuine animal lover! He came when he said he would, stayed for as long as he said he would, and left our house clean. I could tell by the pictures that he sent that our dogs were happy and well cared for. I would recommend Benjamin for housesitting, and I would definitely book him again!
Alex is the only person we trust with our babies! He treats our fur babies like family. We tell them their Uncle Alex is coming for a visit! He takes the best pictures and reassures you your babies are taken care throughout his visit, from food, to play time to pets and love! Alex can cater to all personalities and special needs. Our girl is high anxiety and one of our kitties is very skeptical of strangers.. he made friends with them in no time! Patiently and kindly. We can’t recommend Alex’s services enough!
We just moved and are getting some fun new behaviors from one of our dogs. Carolyn was really understanding, followed instructions carefully, and had great instincts and skills with our one buddy who wasn’t sure about her. We went into it nervous and came away super confident. Would certainly recommend, especially if you have a rescue or special needs pup. Thanks Carolyn!
Erica dog and house sat for 2 weeks. Ghillie (a 10yo bird dog) was relaxed and happy when we returned home. She walked him regularly and kept to his usual routine. He got along great with her pup Rigatoni, which is saying something as he is used to being solo dog in the house and can be wary of other large dogs. House was as clean and tidy when we returned as when we left. She brought in all mail and packages.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shiloh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shiloh on Rover is $55.5 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 668 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shiloh. 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 Shiloh 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 Shiloh 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 Shiloh 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 Shiloh. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
