“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.”
“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!”
“Hannah was very communicative and seemed to have a deep care for all of my animals. I received regular updates, as well as updates when anything unusual occurred (which only happened once, thankfully!). I felt secure knowing my animals were being looked after by Hannah.”
“David was a wonderful pet and house sitter. He checked in daily and shared photos of our sweet dog Bear while we’re gone for 6 days. He took her for regular walks and to some of her favorite places in the neighborhood. David left the house in perfect condition, and Bear was a happy girl when we returned. I highly recommend David for any pet and house sitting needs!”
“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!).”
“Our dogs and cats were so happy with Laina. She left our home in great shape after staying with them for 4 nights, and communicated any questions or issues (which were minimal, because our animals are anxious!) quickly and professionally. We will definitely rebook for future petsitting. Thank you, Laina!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Casey was a great sitter! She was very communicative, and most importantly, our dogs seemed super relaxed when we came home. It was clear she had spent a lot of time with them and made them feel cared for and loved. We will definitely use her again!”
“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”
“Ava has been very caring and patient with our anxious pup, Eola. She took pictures during house sitting that allowed my partner and I to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Ava has great communication and left the house clean and tidy. She even stripped the mattress before leaving. Thank you!”
“Natasha was amazing with our senior pup! She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and updates during our trip. I would highly recommend her as your next pet sitter!”
“We had a great experience with JoHannah! She was able to spend a lot of time with my 5 pets while we were away. She sent many photos and was quick to respond when we reached out. The house was clean and the pets were calm when we returned from our trip. Would book with her again. Thanks JoHannah!”
“Sarah was great! She arrived promptly and was such a pleasure to have watching our pups for the day. She sent several updates during her time with us and when we got home the dogs didn't want her to leave!”
“Alex is the best house/dog sitter ever. He loves animals and took exceptional care of our two loony German Shepherd puppies. He also is a perfect gentleman and we returned to a tidy house. Such a pleasant surprise. We will definitely use him again”
“Heather was a life saver and was able to jump in and take care of our pups after a last minute cancellation from our other sitter. She gave us daily updates, sent over pics and left the house just how she found. We would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Laura is an amazing pet and house sitter! My pup can have some behaviors nand trouble meeting new people, but he immediately loved Laura and felt comfortable with her. My kitties too are very skiddish, but from photos they seemed to be comfortable with Laura’s presence. Not to mention, I came home to a clean house which enabled me to relax after a busy weekend away. Thank you so much and the fur babies cannot wait to see you again!”
“Morisa is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She is communicative throughout the process from meet & greet to her stay. She asked questions about feeding & individual cat personalities, which I appreciated. I loved the pics she sent & felt relieved knowing she was hanging out with the four felines. She is chill & attentive - perfect combo!”

Sarah and Jack did an awesome job taking care of our furry pets. Not only were they happy and healthy when we returned, but also the house was well taken care of . Sales communication with us throughout all time away was spot on. She provided photos and regular updates and she had questions she would reach out highly recommend booking Sara!
Incredible. Suzanne was kind courteous and prompt. We have a full house with 3 pets who needed overnight care while out of town for a little over a week. We had a meet and greet with the hand off for expectations and instructions. She sent daily updates, made special treats for our pets, handled dog walks and even took Kaz to the park! He had a great time and so did we. Highly recommend Suzanne and our pets are also looking forward to seeing her again soon! Thank you so much.
Ava has been very caring and patient with our anxious pup, Eola. She took pictures during house sitting that allowed my partner and I to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Ava has great communication and left the house clean and tidy. She even stripped the mattress before leaving. Thank you!
Nellie was amazing! She watched our two dogs for two weeks, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. We had told her ahead of time that we love getting lots of updates while we’re away, and she was wonderful about keeping us in the loop and sending pictures throughout the trip. Our dogs unfortunately had some digestive issues while we were gone, and Nellie handled everything incredibly well. She always let us know what was going on, asked questions when needed, and took such great care of them. She also handled an unexpected stressful situation with one of the dogs really calmly and responsibly, which we especially appreciated being so far away. She took them on walks every day, gave them lots of attention, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well taken care of. And somehow, after two weeks with our dogs, we came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it! We really couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Nellie is responsible, thoughtful, caring, and great at communicating, and we would absolutely have her watch our dogs again. We’d recommend her without hesitation!
Gabriel was an outstanding dog sitter! He took exceptional care of our dog and our home. When our dog got sick and threw up, he cleaned everything up without hesitation and kept the house spotless. He sent regular updates with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. He also noticed that our dog’s ear was starting to look infected and, after checking with us first, started her prescribed ear drops right away. We really appreciated his attentiveness and communication. Gabriel truly went above and beyond. We would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter!
Sula is absolutely fantastic with animals! From the very minute, she came in the house. My dog acted like she knew her for a long time. She’s that calm and gentle. She’s very easy to work with and extremely careful and clean in the house. She took care of all of the sheets for me, and my dog absolutely loved her. I could not recommend her highly enough.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shiloh on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 686 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:
- 93% 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.
