About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals. Dog walking is great for their physical and mental health/improves their joints, and all around good therapy for me and your pet. Play time is also important. I will treat your furry family member with the utmost care & diligence. I am responsible, attentive, & detail oriented and will provide quality services. Currently available during the day. Just about anyday with a little notice. Can set up regular scheduled walk times. Or if you are in a bind, and need, on spur of notice. I am willing to walk from your home, or to a near by park. Giving attention and time. I typically like to know if they have a specific diet, medications, preferences, etc.
“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”
“Excellent! Morgan was wonderful. She treated our doggy just like he was her own. She stayed in our home and it was cleaner than when we left. Morgan sent updates and photos of Mav every single day. She even left us a beautiful thank you note.”
About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.
“Billie just watched my dog for two days and again I am blown away with her service. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy active and attended to. Absolutely the best so happy to work with her.”
“Ashley took excellent care of our furbaby while we were away for the week. She communicated well and sent updates and photos regularly. Our dog had injured her nail prior to us leaving on the trip, and Ashley took such good care of it and kept me updated on her healing throughout the week. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve worked at a pet boarding and dog daycare center for dogs and other animals of all ages and sizes with never any issues. My boyfriend and I also have owned animals our whole lives and grew up on farms with different animals. We are available all day everyday, excepting last minute requests of every animal. We will be just as obsessed with your pet as you are. We have a big fenced yard with two gentle friendly dogs to keep you baby comfortable. We are very observant and love to send you updates and photos/videos of your baby.
“Evan was wonderful with Mabel! He took such great care of her in our home, and his communication throughout gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy, calm, and clearly well-loved Great Dane. ❤️ It was obvious Mabel enjoyed having him here! We would absolutely have Evan watch her again and highly recommend him!”
“Shae did an amazing job with my fur babies. Made me feel at ease while I was on vacation with the daily pictures... Would definitely recommend her and I will definitely be using her services again... Thank You So Much Shae... Until next time 🐶😼😁”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all kinds and know firsthand the love and attention they need. From my first dog, Francis—a loyal Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix who was part of the family for 16 years—to Olivia, a playful Boxer mix who brought joy for 9 years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities and health needs. Now, I’m lucky to share my life with Lulu, a 3-year-old Staffy and Pitbull mix. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I make sure there’s time for walks, play, meals, and plenty of love every day. I’m used to paying attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s some extra energy to burn or just some chill cuddle time. Basically, I fit pet care into my routine because I genuinely enjoy hanging out with dogs and making sure they’re happy. I live in a quiet apartment with my dog Lulu, which provides a calm and safe environment for pets. I’m also close to several parks with plenty of space for walks and playtime, so your fur baby will get lots of exercise and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or during in-home visits, I always make sure water is available and follow feeding routines tailored to your dog’s needs. I take pride in giving attentive walks, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love to keep your dog happy and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for my family pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding depending on my class schedule, and weekend stays so you can have your weekend getaways knowing your pet is safe. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, patient, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.
“Melinda was great, she did housesitting and watched and loved my two boys. She communicated any questions and concerns she had and also sent pictures that made me feel comfortable being that this was my first time using rover. I will definitely be using her again in the near future”
About: Zac and I are experienced pet owners who absolutely love animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As husky owners, we’re no strangers to lots of fur, energy, and big personalities! Over the years, we’ve cared for a variety of breeds and truly enjoy spending time playing with, caring for, and getting to know each pet’s unique personality. One of our huskies is a rescue who came to us with severe anxiety around people but has always been wonderful with other animals. That experience has taught us the importance of patience, understanding, and allowing each pet to feel comfortable at their own pace. We’re comfortable working with different temperaments and personalities and will treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care we give our own. Our dog gets let out every 2 to 3 hours to potty and run around the yard. We typically feed our dog in the morning after they have been let out. Then we let them roam the house and play until the end of the day, when they are put into their kennels at night. During the week, our dogs are in the kennel while we are away. Dogs are free to roam my home; ours are kenneled when away for their safety, as they tend to get into things. Zac and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in our care. We have a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise, along with a friendly dog who loves having new friends to play with. We’re also rescue parents, so we understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level. One of our own dogs has severe anxiety around humans, and helping him feel safe and learn to trust took a lot of patience, consistency, and understanding. Because of that experience, we’re especially comfortable caring for shy, nervous, or skittish dogs. Our flexible schedule allows us to provide plenty of attention, playtime, supervision, and companionship. We’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine and needs and make sure they feel secure, respected, and right at home while they’re with us.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shiloh
We are so grateful to Hilary for the loving care she gave our Lily while we were away. After recently losing our Lab, Carson, Lily has been especially sad and lost. Being born deaf, she relied heavily on Carson to help her navigate the world. Hilary was so patient and understanding, giving Lily the space and time she needed to feel safe and comfortable with her. It meant so much to know Lily was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Hilary and are truly thankful for the wonderful care she provided!
I cannot say enough about the care that our dog, Ella received from Ashley, her son and her fur baby which is a added perk for our Ella she added a new friend in the process!! I was very uneasy at first due to us having a very bad experience with using a onsite boarding facility in the past; Ella was well fed, walked, and really enjoyed all the cuddles from her and her son I have received texts and pictures while we have been gone updating me on their activities. I can honestly say that I did not worry as much as I thought I would about Ella while were gone. In addition, my neighbors have confrmed this for me because they have told me that they seen them at our home with her and they see Ella out and about on her daily walks! It is so nice to be able to leave Ella and know that she is loved and well taken care of when we cannot be with her! Ashley will be rebook with us again for sure and also gained a new friend
Alexa did a wonderful job with Rocket over the weekend and the place looked fantastic upon returning, Rocket, while being a good boy did have an upset tummy one night and also decided to go after a pillow. Alexa just took care of both situations and communicated what happened. I was very happy with how she dealt with both, neither of which was from something she did. Bottom line I recommend her 100% and would totally rebook again.
We couldn’t be more grateful for Lauren and Doug while we’re away on vacation. Knowing our home and pets are in such caring, capable hands truly puts our minds at ease. It’s clear they treat everything as if it were their own, and we love getting updates that show just how happy and relaxed everyone is. It feels like our pets are having their own little vacation playing with Nala! We highly recommend Lauren and Doug to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive sitters.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shiloh on Rover is $43.29 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 1,125 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
