“Maria was fantastic! My dogs are a handful - they're anxious and not great with new people, so I always worry about finding sitters - but they absolutely loved Maria! Maria came by the week before for a meet and greet to get to know the dogs and the house, and for the dogs to get comfortable with her. She spent loads of time connecting with them and playing with them, enough so that when she came back for the house sit, they were excited to see her and not overly anxious about me leaving. It made it much easier for me to go and I was so much less stressed the entire time I was gone. Maria responded quickly to all messages before and during the house sit, and sent me photo updates of the dogs while I was gone. I came back to three very happy dogs who were excited to see me, but also sad to see her go. I'm so enormously grateful to Maria for taking such great care of them and making things so easy on me!”
“We have total confidence in Kaitlin! We have used her services several times and feel completely comfortable leaving Blue with her. She is very loving and professional !!”
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Tori was great housesitting Mikko! She was prompt and responsive. She took Mikko on plenty of walks (which is very important for him as a young dog). The house looked awesome when we got home, and Mikko was a happy pup. I will definitely look to book Tori 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.
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
About: Hello! My name is Amy. I have many loves in my life which include my 9 children, my beautiful granddaughters, and my dogs! I've taken care of all kinds of dogs for 27 adult years and even when I was a kid I helped take care of our family dog. Our family loves dogs! I can bathe, brush, walk, administer medicine, and love on your family pet. I've trained many puppies with much success. I am my friends and families go to dog sitter. I am here most days with my kids who love to play and love on animals. Your dog will have access to the outside and inside of the house. I understand that leaving your beloved family member is hard but I will send you updates and photos all through their stay to reassure that they are having a great time while you are away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I do work part time outside the house. I am flexible with setting appointments or even spur of the moment I am currently working part time outside the home, so I have plenty of time to play with your family pet when I am not working. At our house your dog is part of our family and my children are all involved in the care and love of your pet. Your dog will be tired and happy when you come get them after having lots of playtime and loving. They won’t want to leave here.
“Chiara is an amazing sitter! I have booked her twice now to stay with my husky while we were away and couldn't be happier with the way she takes care of my dog and house. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Jewelia was great with our dogs and home. Lots of great communication, pictures and videos! When we came home the dogs were happy and the house was very well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Cassandra did a wonderful job taking care of our Foxy. She was incredibly patient and kind during Foxy's stay with her. We appreciated the updates and extra care she expressed during Foxy's stay. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Breckyn was a great sitter in our home. She took care of our dog Jax while we were gone for 5 days. She was professional and treated our home with respect. We highly recommend her if you're looking for a pet sitter!”
“Samantha was an AMAZING dog sitter for our sweet boy Wallace. We came home to a sweet and calm boy, and we could just tell how loved and attended to he had been during our time away. We appreciated her communication and she sent a few pics of our sweet boy, to let us know how he was doing. BONUS - she did an amazing sketch/doodle of him that I DO plan on framing bc it’s so incredible. Would recommend her to anyone!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Simla
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 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 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.
