About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up caring for our family dog, geese and ducks! Lately, i've committed myself to helping dogs and cats feel loved, safe and secure while their pet parents are away. I worked at a local veterinary clinic in their boarding department caring for overnight and long term clients. I previously worked at a local animal shelter for a year, where I learned the true responsibility of taking care of animals. Senior animals have such a special place in my heart! Animal happiness and safety is a main priority of mine. I am looking to take care of your animals part time and as needed! I have plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats! I have 3 dogs currently, a shepherd mix, husky mix and a mini pin doberman alongside 2 cats! We have a large fenced in yard which allows us to let our dogs get their energy out and enjoy some time alone outside, while we continue to keep a close eye on them. The dogs are never out of my sight, I know how mischievous they tend to be.
“Our very spoiled Labbies did great with Kyle. The house was well-taken care of during our week away. And now that they are buddies, we can book Kyle again for future trips...”
“I would give MB & Lindsey 10 stars if I could! They asked all the best questions, took copious notes, stayed in touch, babied my pets even more than I do, and left the house cleaner than I had. (The fact that they work from home so they could stay with my babies all day didn't hurt either!) I would very much recommend them to anyone who wants attentive, kind, professional, and truly competent pet sitters!”
“Summer has been great with my pup! She comes and stays with him on weekends when I can’t be there. He really likes her, and she’s great with sending me updates throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend Summer!”
“Alexis was amazing! She kept me updated on my pup, she was respectful of our home and she even left us flowers and did the laundry!!! I would recommend her to everyone!!!! Thank you Alexis, we appreciate you so much!”
“Anna came to meet our tiny Yorkie, Teddi” 2 weeks before she was asked to housesit. Teddi fell in love with her right away. She updated us twice a day and took pics of her and Teddi .It was very comforting knowing that Anna and Teddi were inseparable and Teddi loved her snuggle time and tummy scratches. We will definitely request Anna again Teddi loves her!”
“Cindy is amazing!! She kept me up-to-date on Riley all throughout the weekend and sent the cutest pictures of her. She took such good care of Riley and the house. I felt so good knowing that Riley was in good and loving hands. I highly recommend her and look forward to having Cindy again!”
About: We’re a happily married couple, and we both love dogs. We will take care of your pet as if it were our own child. I (Roman) grew up in a village and have always had dogs—usually at least three. The last time before I left my parents’ house, I was taking care of four dogs (one mixed-breed and three Labradors). I also looked after friends’ and relatives’ dogs—mostly Corgis. One of them was almost completely blind and elderly, so I have experience caring for older dogs and know how to give insulin injections. Anna (my wife) is a total dog mom—if she could, she’d give birth to a dog instead of a human, haha. She’s an experienced dog sitter and has been doing this professionally for the past 3 years. I'm always at home, while my wife is at work— sometimes for just four hours, sometimes a little longer. There's always someone at home. Your pet's comfort and safety are our top priorities. Since we don't have any pets of our own, your furry friend will receive our undivided attention and be the 'only child' in our home. We offer a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pup can relax and feel like royalty. They’ll have our full focus, plenty of cuddles, and a cozy space all to themselves!
“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of Waldo. I really appreciated the pictures and great communication while I was away. When I returned, Waldo was happy, relaxed, and not stressed out at all. Great job — I would definitely recommend Alexa!”
“Tammy was very nice! She arrived early to meet our dog, and our dog loved her! She sent pictures showing us that our pup was comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Tammy and we would use her services again.”
“Shirley was wonderful. She stayed at our home and took great care of our dog while we were away. She was kind, respectful of the house, and very easy to communicate with. We came back to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”
“To say that Grace did an AMAZING job housesitting and caring for my senior puggle with separation anxiety, is an understatement. I was out of the state for three nights and knowing my home and dog Brutus were being cared for by Grace not only put my mind at ease, but allowed me to leave without a single hesitation. She is dependable, considerate, communicative, calm and has a lovely personality! Little old Brutus can be difficult when I’m not with him and I know she did her very best to calm his anxiety, give meds and I returned to a spotless house! Thank you Grace! You did an outstanding job and I can’t thank you enough! 100 stars!”
“Carissa did a great job house and pet sitting. My dog and cat are very well behaved but also very attached to me and can struggle with anxiety when I’m away. Carissa obviously took great care of them, evidenced with a daily photo/video update while I was away, and they were calm and happy when I arrived home. Would definitely book with Carissa again!”
“Luke was amazing! He was very communicative and sent us photos daily. Came back to a pristine house and a happy healthy dog. We will definitely be using Luke again for future trips.”
“Payton was so incredible with our pup! She sent lots of photos and updates, I could tell our dog was in great hands. She was super flexible and accommodating to his schedule. I would highly recommend her services, we’ll be using her again for sure!”

“First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!”
About: I grew up caring for dogs and cats and began pet sitting for local families at a young age. I have experience with puppies and kittens, as well as adult cats and dogs, including training basic commands and providing calm, attentive, routine-based care. I work a full time job from 8-5 but am free on the weekends and morning/evenings. I love being outside and active with your pet! I take pet care very seriously. I desire to care for your pet with excellence and kindness. They are one of your prized possessions and I want to steward that responsibility well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Slater
Overall, Laura is a good sitter. We did have a misunderstanding early in the stay about our dog’s expected routine and schedule, but, Laura was responsive to feedback and corrected the issue. She was on top of things and adhered to schedule for the rest of the week, provided ample updates and photos, and left the house in great condition. It is evident that she put in time to clean up before we arrived. Our pets seemed to love her and they both seemed to have had a great time!

FAQs for House Sitting - Slater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,208 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Slater. 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 Slater 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 Slater 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 Slater 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
