“Emmalia was amazing watching our 2 dogs, 2 cats, and fish in our home. One of our dogs had a last minute medical diagnosis that required frequent medication during the day, and she was able to help us with that during our trip. She also sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the trip and also left a super cute note and drawing at the end of her care! We look forward to using her services again in the future!”
“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!”
“Blyth made my trip out of town a dream come true for my dog and me! The meet and greet was great and allowed time to check out the property and get a feel for my dog’s behaviors and needs, and Blyth was super respectful of my home and Dulce’s schedule. She also has great experience and great energy with dogs. Blyth sent great photos and updates as well, which really was excellent for peace of mind while I was in an out of cell coverage. Would love to work with Blyth again!”
“Maria is an exceptional sitter. We cannot recommend her highly enough. We wouldn't hesitate to have Maria sit for us again. In fact, we rebooked her for our next trip before we even got on the plane home!! She's just that good. Of course, we came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. But we had no doubt about that after seeing how happy she was in the pictures Maria sent over and after hearing Maria gush over how much she was enjoying spending time with her. It was nice to feel like we were leaving our pup with someone who liked being around her as much as we do. She took phenomenal care of our sweet girl, gave her so many cuddles, spent an absurd amount of time hanging out in the sunshine with her, and followed our requests to a T. Maria was kind, loving, and so attentive to whatever our pup needed. Maria sent plenty of pictures and videos so we never worried or had a chance to miss our beloved dog too much. It was amazing!! We've never had such a stress-free travel experience with a sitter before; we didn't worry one bit about her because we were confident she was in such great hands. Seriously, you cannot go wrong working with Maria. She is such a professional but also clearly cares about her charges. It was an outstanding experience having her house sit. Genuinely, we can't express our gratitude enough even after all this gushing. We can't wait to have her back.”
“We cannot thank Taylor enough for watching our dogs while we were away. We met her prior to the trip and the dogs were happy with her instantly (I enjoyed chatting with her too). During our time away, she checked in a few times and I had no worries that the dogs were enjoying their time with her in the comfort of their own home. She left the house in perfect condition and I could tell that the dogs had been well cared for while we were gone. I highly recommend her, and would absolutely have her care for our dogs in the future. We all were so lucky to have found her!”
“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: My love for animals is genuine. They've been a part of my life since childhood. I often pet sit for my friends and family alike. While being cared for in my home, our four legged friends will enjoy playing fetch, hide and seek, tug of war, and of course getting cuddles too. I welcome elderly dogs as well. I have experience in administering medications, assisting elderly dogs with walking issues, hip issues, along with the blind, and the deaf dogs; they are all welcome and well taken care of here. I do allow most dogs on some furniture with a blanket provided by the owner. However, I do not allow them in beds. * I only accept dogs from one family at a time, and I only can accommodate 2 dogs at once. *. (There is an increase in my rates during the Christmas and Thanksgiving Holidays, that differs from other Holidays.) I have an open calendar most of the time. I do not work outside the home, and I have plenty of time for your pets. All our four legged friends get spoiled in the house of Morris. I have a fenced yard. I live near several parks, and there are many trails around my neighborhood with 2 dog parks in the area. *I will only take them to the dog park with the owners approval.*

“We couldn't have left our pets, and our home, in better hands! We had a good feeling when Samantha stopped by for a meet n greet and our Molly took to her immediately. She's normally very shy and standoffish at first so it was particularly remarkable that she had no hesitation with Samantha at all. While we were gone Samantha kept us updated with daily reports and photos of our babies. When we arrived home (hours later than agreed, due to airline delays), the house was spotless and the animals were all happy & healthy. From now on, whenever we need house/pet sitting services she will be our first choice!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 87 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 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.
