“Catecha did an excellent job caring for Aries. I’m very detail-oriented with his routine, and she followed everything exactly as asked; feeding times, water schedule, play structure, and settling. Her communication was great and gave me a lot of peace of mind. She checked in often, responded quickly, and made sure I always knew how he was doing. Aries can be a high-energy dog with specific needs, and she handled him with patience, confidence, and consistency. She even took care of small things around the house, like taking out the trash, and we came home to everything just as we left it. I felt comfortable the whole time and would happily have her care for him again.”
“This is the 3rd time Meredyth has taken care of our dogs at our house and she has become family. She immediately bonded with our boxers, and makes sure they are well cared for when we are out of town. I totally trust her with Both the pets and the home.”
“Kira never disappoints… I’m so blessed to have found you on Rover bc we never have to worry when you’re house sitting our baby Harlee.. thank you again for all that you do..”
“Tara was the first person we have trusted to leave our two pups with (that isn’t family) while being out of town. Needless to say I’m pretty sure my dogs were more upset she left, than they were excited my husband and I were home lol.”
“Our dogs seemed to be very happy and cared for while Sarah stayed with them. She provided photos and feedback throughout her stay, which were greatly appreciated. Our home was left in perfect condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to keep your fur babies.”
“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”
“Shannon was great! I need someone in a very short amount of time and she was able to make it happen. Easy to get in touch with communication is outstanding. Our 2 goldens were loved on so much and very well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely ask her to watch them again!!”
“I'm so grateful for Brandi! She truly loves animals and did an excellent job with watching my 2 fur babies! She took excellent care of my spoiled girls and we will be using her again!!!!”
“Great with all my furbabies and I have 5 total she actually sits with them the whole time and plays with them lets them in and out and sends pictures. She is very responsive along with sending her own picture updates throughout the house sitting . I will definitely be contacting her for any future house sitting needs 😊”
About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice neighborhood where we are able to run and walk with our dogs. So there is plenty of space to play and relax.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken dogs for walks, overnight care, administer medication, follow feeding times and making sure that the fur babies are well taken care of. I have a flexible schedule. I can spend most of my time taking care of your dogs. I am available Friday evenings through Sunday nights. I make sure to read over the guidelines from my clients and how they prefer their dogs to be cared for. Let me know if their special care needed.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.
About: I have taken care of animals for over 20 years for family and friends. My experience has been with Dogs. Additionally, I have a canine handler certification through Iron Dog K9 International. My current work schedule is mobile and remote, it permits me the availability to house and animal sit for your pets during the week and weekends. I care for pets in the comfort of their familiar environment, which helps reduce anxiety, especially for older or sensitive animals. I follow all instructions provided — feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes or cages, administering medications, etc. I also handle small household tasks if requested, like bringing in mail or watering plants. Daily updates, including photos and notes on how your pet is doing, are always included. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is my top priority.
“I am absolutely blown away by the care and attention my pets received from Darian while I was away for 5 days. It was the first time in 8 years I didn't fell the need to worry about anything while I was away. I received plenty of pictures and updates and my dogs loved him! Care instructions were followed to the letter and he even checked in to make sure I didn't forget anything. If you book with Darian you can be sure your pets will be treated like family and they'll be happy while you're away.”
About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.
“This was my (and Buddy’s) 1st time having a house sitter and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Donnis was lovable, kind and patient with Buddy, especially when he refused to go outside in the rain. We are adding a new fur baby to our family soon and will definitely introduce Donnis to Xena! Thank you so much and we will be seeing you soon!! 🥰”
“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”
About: They can play weigh Benji, my yorkie. We go for 3 walks a day to mcMichael park. We love finding new routes to and from there I work from home Monday through Friday and off the weekends I have a little Yorky named Benjamin he doesn’t bark or anything but he’s looking to make friends with other dogs and he loves sniffing and cuddles I wipe paws after walk and for small dogs wipe bums after bathroom time. Treats after walking and toy and cuddles throughout the day. Benji like to pay tug of war

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Slades Mill
Catecha was great again. I got video and pictures of both dogs, and they were happy with their tails wagging. Catecha stays at the house to make the dogs feel more comfortable when we are gone. She is respectful of the house and leaves it clean. We have other trips planned in the coming months and will be booking with Catecha again!
Alexis was fantastic! Never once did I have to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me up to date the entire time. She sends plenty of pictures and videos.....that warmed my heart. And, she knew how Jersey loves to go for rides, so Alexis didn't hesitate to let Jersey tag along....even to get a pup cup! Lol I can't wait to book with Alexis again. Even my parents said how great she was! Excellent communicator! Thank you for your services, Alexis!
First time using Rover! What a great experience! Our sitter was so communicative, sending us pictures and videos of our Rocky. She was on time, very good with our Senior dog, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in our home with our dog. Def recommend her if you're looking for someone to take good care of your pet!

FAQs for House Sitting - Slades Mill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Slades Mill on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,816 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Slades Mill. 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 Slades Mill 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 Slades Mill 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 Slades Mill 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.
