“I used Ben’s services for the first time recently to watch both my cat and my house. He did a fantastic job and went well above expectations. As I believe others have said, in addition to taking care of my cat, which was the top priority, he left the house super clean and tidy, washed the sheets, cleaned up the dishes. I highly recommend him.”

About: I have about 7 years of professional experience working with animals (medicating, bathing, kenneling, etc.) as well as growing up with at least one dog and cat in the house, I currently have 3 fur babies myself an English Bulldog named Kujo, a Domestic Shorthair names Ramen Noodles and a Domestic Medium hair named Nimbus. Along with my 3 babies I am also a Veterinary Technician. I am around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes 24/7 medicating and loving on while they are under my supervision! I am constantly snuggling and playing with my personal pets and I am the exact same way with the patients at my job. Just because the babies at work may not come home with me I always treat them as if they were my own.
About: Hey there! My name is Rachel and I live with my husband, our 2 daughters, 3 doggies and 2 kitties. I have many years of experience with dogs because my family growing up has always had a house (and yard) full of them. I have also offered dog-sitting to neighbors and friends/family in the past. The more wagging tails the merrier! I would be happy to offer any home visits to check on your fur babies to walk, feed or even play with them. I will also offer in-home boarding to dogs of all sizes as long as they are not aggressive since I do have other animals and children. We have a fenced backyard and live on more than 70 acres of land where I can offer leashed walks and potty breaks. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your little loves! <3 I am currently a full-time stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggies. I'm available most major holidays, weekdays and weekends. I allow the dogs that I may be boarding inside the house, and would stick to a strict potty/feeding schedule depending on each owner and pet. I believe every dog has their own personality, much like people, and need to be tended to differently.
“Brittany does an amazing job taking care of our older german shepherd. She has pet sat for us many times now, and we have been more than happy every time. We truly feel our girl could not be in better hands, and that is coming from someone who does not like to leave our pup. We feel very at ease when she is left in Brittany's care, its easy to see her love for animals. Brittany is extremely reliable, she is very communicative/quick to respond, and has always been very flexible with our needs. Thank you Brittany for all the care and attention you give our girl. We are lucky to have found you, and appreciate everything you do for us.”

About: I grew up rehabilitating and rehoming foster dogs with my family for various rescues in central Pennsylvania, focusing primarily on pit bulls and hounds. However, we welcomed all types of dogs, not just those breeds. Currently, I am learning basic obedience training from my grandfather (retired canine handler). As of right now, we are preparing a pup for duck season. In addition to my experience with dogs, I worked as a stable hand at a boarding barn, handling horses of all ages. While I can care for cats, it is not my preferred choice; however, I have done so in the past. I am currently working a flexible part-time job in the College Station area. I am available both during the day and at night, with the ability to stay for half the day to a full day. While I may step out for my shifts, I will be present in the evenings and overnight. I live on a ten-acre property where we have an in-ground fence. On hot days, when temperatures exceed 90 degrees, we only allow them outside for 10 to 15 minute intervals. During cold days, when temperatures drop below 40 degrees, we follow a similar schedule, adjusting the time based on each dog's comfort. When we're out of the house, we crate our dogs for peace of mind. Our pack of four is fed separately in their crates every morning; some receive additional meals in the evening. They are brushed daily and entertained outside whenever the weather permits. In summary, your dog, like my own, will be let outside, fed at the appropriate times, groomed, and loved on if welcomed. Additionally, I can take them for walks if the weather allows it, and it's requested.

“Crystal is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Within 10 seconds of our first meet and greet, I could tell Apollo felt safe with her. She takes such good care of him, gives him all the love, and sends the cutest photo updates. I know I’m leaving him in the best care when she’s watching him. Can’t recommend her enough!!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was 8. My grandparents owned a medium sized dog breeding company so I would spend my time feeding, bathing, walking, nurturing, and playing with dogs and pups. I did this for many years. As of right now I am free at any time of the day/week from Sun up to Sun down allowing me to be contacted and or take care of animals at any time. I have a fenced in yard in which my dog runs around freely whenever she wants to go out and is allowed inside at all times. I take good care of any animal wether it be a dog, cat, ferret, snake, etc. and always check in with the owners if anything were to happen. I'm also very patient and caring for all animals alike.
About: I have been taking care of animals since elementary school. Raising puppys from birth and caring for seniors during their final days. I have learned the ins and outs of grooming, cleaning, feeding, and basic training. I've delt with the pickiest of animals, and the most relaxed. When it comes to keeping animals calm and happy, I am the sitter for you. Whether your animal has aggression with others, or is incredibly anxious, I'll create an environment specifically to accommodate them. As I already have animals in my home, pet care is my every day life. Walks occur multiple times a day, and my boyfriend will take them out for more enriching play outdoors. I'm with the animals full time, which means any animals in my care will have my full attention. In my own home, I have multiple grassed areas for potty time, as well as a dog park for enrichment. I have a separate room for animals who need it, where they can have a calming time away from my own animals if needed. Of which being a service dog and a friendly cat. In a client's home, I make sure to take care of the pet to the best of my ability, taking them out as frequently as asked, but also giving them some play time for enrichment when I'm there. I follow things to the letter, so any special requests will be followed to the T to make sure your pet is happy and healthy.

For the past three years, I’ve fostered dogs with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and senior pups who need a little extra patience and TLC. From medication schedules to enrichment and daily walks, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away 🥰 While my PhD keeps me busy, finding time to walk, play, and care for your pet is something I truly look forward to and see as a refreshing and rewarding part of my routine. My schedule allows for consistent morning and evening care, and I’m intentional about making time for walks, enrichment, and quality attention. My fish keep me company for now, so you can bet your dog will have my full attention! I’m intentional about building trust so your dog still feels at home while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shiro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 421 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shiro. 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 Shiro 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 Shiro 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 Shiro 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.
