“There is not enough space here to write all the great things about Sasha! She was a great communicator, and kept me updated throughout the whole visit! This was my first time using rover and she far exceeded my expectations. My dog wasn’t always the best at sleeping for Sasha, but Sasha did everything to make the visit comfortable”

“Maddie watched four dogs (our regular three plus one rambunctious sassy puppy that we are fostering) in our home overnight. Communication was good throughout the stay and pictures and updates were provided. Maddie walked all four each day and fed and watered them as well as providing play time in the yard with the Chuck-It toys. She even worked in helping our foster puppy learn a couple commands!”
“Abby was great with our Springer spaniel. She kept in touch with me regularly up to the time of the booking and made contact with me while we were out, which I was very appreciative of. We were visiting from out of town so we were pleased to have someone like Abby available to keep an eye on Zoe.”

I have worked in various settings with animals in veterinary practices, horse stables, farms, and dog kennels. I have 2 dogs of my own and 1 cat! I currently work full time. I am available before and after work and on the weekends. My work schedule is very flexible. If I need to leave early or start late I do have the freedom to do so to care for your furry friend. When I am pet sitting for someone, I always treat their pets as if they’re my own. I love spending time with animals and caring for them! I have 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and am very comfortable administering medication and working with pets with high needs.

About: I've been helping care for my family's dog, Banjo, since we got him over 8 years ago and I've also watched over both cats and dogs for my family and friends over the years. I'm a huge animal lover and someday I'd like to foster animals so I'm hoping to get even more experience on here. No preference for cats/dogs, breed, size, age, or anything really. My schedule is pretty open right now, but of course the sooner you ask the more likely I'll be available. I'm flexible though so I'm willing to work any day or time. I will not only follow your instructions to the T, but I'll really try to bond with and make pet sitting a fun experience for your pets.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and love being outdoors! I have most recently worked as a horse wrangler and have had lots of experience with being around dogs and animals. I will treat your pet as my own and have full availability right now! Would love the chance to give some pups some exercise I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time being active outdoors. I’m always going for walks and often take hikes in the foothills, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I’m available most weekdays 1pm and have open availability on weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. I prioritize keeping pets on a consistent routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I live in a basement-level home with a yard and all wood floors, which makes for easy cleanup and a pet-friendly space. There are no other pets in my home, so your dog will have a low-stress environment with lots of one-on-one attention. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow any specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, crate training, or medication needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shiocton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 347 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shiocton. 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 Shiocton 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 Shiocton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Shiocton 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shiocton. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
