“Emmalia was absolutely amazing! She was on time to both the meet and greet and the sitting, which has been difficult for several others. Gave me several updates over the couple days. I was gone and was always cheerful. Will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals and am willing to take care of even more. I love reptiles and rodents. Cats especially! If you have a small dog or cat that you can't clip their nails then leave it to me, I can handle that for ya! It fits most of my day, I am very anxious and care deeply for the safety and health of my pets. It is a daily thing for me to check on everything. I personally own a cat and used to own a guinea pig. (Rip Pumpkin) I make sure the food bowl is full 2 times a day because my son doesnt like seeing the bottom. I make sure to check the litter box and water every single day to make sure theres no blowouts and that things are kept clean. I will play with him for a solid 2 hours at least a day (hes very large) and then he gets lap cuddles almost all day.
“Janayah is so good with my little Mylo. He absolutely adores her and was just excited to see her as she was to see him. I will book again with Janayah. Thanks for showing love to Mylo!”
“Great communication and took great care of the dogs and the house. Wouldn’t even have known anyone had been here. Also went above and beyond with a few extra requests. Can’t recommend her enough and hope to have her watch the dogs and the house again in the future. Thank you!”
“Kim was amazing with Gunner! She gave him so much attention and care while I was away, and the regular photo updates gave me total peace of mind seeing how happy and well taken care of he was. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kim the next time I need coverage!”
About: My family and I use to foster puppies all the time when I was little. We also always had our family husky lab dog. I now have my own Husky who will be carried for at home while I care for yours. have been in the dog sitting business for so long with just friends and neighbors. But I ended up getting this one gig where the lady herself boarded dogs and no joke she had at least 6 dogs one time when she asked me to stay overnight. All had different food and some medication. There were 2 chichas downstairs together. and the other 4 were left lose to sleep with me. I'm looking for jobs now, so I'm pretty open on schedule. So please feel free reach out with the time you want for your animals. I live in a house with 2 other dogs for my Husky to play with. Which I will leave my dog there when im out looking after others, as she has a loving little tribe at home with my roomates and her dog friends. I'm use to my husky needing run alot and having alot of energy so nothing is new for me in that department of dogs. If needed to live in with the dog, then I will fully move in for that time frame so the dog isn't lonely. I love play tug of war and ball with dogs and some cats even have played fetch for me. I love getting cuddles from little furry pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve.
“Edyn was a wonderful Rover for my 6 yr old mini Schauzer. In fact, we've booked her again already. She's very prompt, sent photos and updates, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommended”
“Maranda was absolutely incredible with Boone. She kept me updated with adorable photos, made him special puppy ice cream, and took wonderful care of him while I was away. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and a wonderful communicator. The house was spotless when I got home and Boone was relaxed and happy. She’s trustworthy, loving, and exactly the kind of sitter every dog parent dreams of! Boone and I are so lucky to have found her.”
“Blyth was wonderful with our pets and treated them with great care. She paid close attention to their needs and even played stimulating games with them. She left the house spotless and was very respectful of our belongings. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve had my own animals ever since I was a child. My pets are considered my furbabies! They deserve the world to see and experience! I take pride in knowing that every animal I come in contact with knows and senses my intent of nothing but love, affection and safety. I am employed and have the flexibility of running home to take care of any needs throughout the day. Pets need that undivided attention always. I am experienced in care from crating, potty training, feeding and medicine. I have leashes on hand and multiple food and water bowls, plus toys.

About: Whether your furbaby needs a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re out of town, I’ve got you covered. I treat every pet like they’re my own and my boys River & Riley are always happy to share the love too (if you fur babies cool with new friends): Little about me - I’ve volunteered at the MSPCA Nevins Farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, small animals, horses and goats. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of medical needs, temperaments, and special care instructions. Also, I worked as a horseback riding instructor and barn manager in Missouri so I have experience caring for larger animals. I am a huge on hiking so if your dog loves being in the mountains, I would love to take them along! I have just moved here from Missouri so my schedule is wide open and I am home everyday. I am an Air Force Veteran in online school full time so I have a lot of time to dedicate to the animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk or staying for a few days, I treat your space and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I always follow your instructions closely from feeding and potty routines to house rules and special needs. If your pet has quirks or specific triggers, I’ll make sure they’re understood and respected. With my vet assistant experience, I’m also confident handling medications, senior care, and reading subtle signs that something may be off. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. And of course, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and play time.
“Maria did a great job watching our dog for five days! She kept us updated with messages and photos. Our dog has a couple special needs which she handled with care. Would highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs and have raised several large breed dogs myself. It currently isn’t the right time for me to welcome a new dog into my life full time but I miss having the company. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility for cuddles, walks and potty breaks. I’m also a runner and happy to take any high energy dogs out for a tour. I do not have a backyard but am close to parks where we can walk. I have space for a dog bed or crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly.
“Vicky was so personable! She sent multiple pictures everyday of our dog and cat. We will be using her next time we travel. She stayed at our house for 2 weeks and did a great job caring for the house too! Book her, she is amazing!”
About: I grew up around and have experience with horses, farm animals, cats, and dogs. I am partial to Maine Coons and large breed dogs, especially boxer/bully breeds and all their quirkiness but really enjoy caring for all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. I enjoy gardening and am also happy to help out with any plants or gardens in need of care as well. I work remotely so I will be available to be around a majority of the day and will have ample time to play and interact with your pet. Whether your pet loves chasing squirrels, snuggling on the couch, being adored 24/7 or all the above and then some-I’m their person. I’ve cared for senior dogs, special diets, and high-energy tail-waggers for over 20 years. I’m all about sticking to your pet’s routine like clockwork-even if it involves gourmet chicken and rice at 6 a.m.

FAQs for House Sitting - Simla
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 83 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Simla. 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 Simla 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 Simla 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 Simla 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
