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 have 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 in all shapes and sizes. 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.
“Amy was wonderful with my two pups! She was very attentive and communicative throughout the weekend and kept me updated with photos. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands, and they seemed so happy and well cared for when I got home. She also left my apartment spotless, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend Amy and would happily book with her again!”

“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was very thoughtful and communicated well while I was away. She kept the house tidy and the dogs seemed happy when I returned. I would highly recommend her services!”


“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”

“Carissa was a lovely dog/house sitter who stayed in communication our entire trip! She was wonderful with our two large dogs and left our house very clean. We will definitely rebook in the future!”

“It was wonderful to have Kyle take care of Stormie, we knew when we got home & Stormie was so happy that Kyle had done a great job. Kyle is great at communicating and following care instructions for Stormie. He is also a very compassionate care giver and it shows when he meets your pet. When Kyle would leave for an errand he would let us know and always checked in during the day to let us know that everything was fine. Stormie and I would definitely hire Kyle again”

“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!”

About: I have provided professional pet-care in & out of my own home for over seven years. I am dedicated to treating your pets and your home as if it is my own. I am devoted to ensuring my schedule is built around the care of your animal. I currently work for myself, making flexibility easy for me. Quality service is my number one priority. My focus as a provider is keeping your pet as comfortable as possible, by giving them individualized attention and specialized care.
“The boys really love Jasmin! They did really well w/ a meet and greet, and immediately took to her. For the overnight stay, she was a great communicator with the updates and pictures. My boys, who are normally hesitant about strangers, had fun with her, and get excited when I say her name. Look forward to booking Jasmin again, as she’s a very kind, sweet and responsible person. She eases the anxiety of leaving your babies overnight.”

“Anna was amazing with our cat and home. We are so thankful for her care and communication. Her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed was a lifesaver.”

About: I combine a genuine love for pets with a calm, reliable presence that animals instantly respond to. I don’t just “watch” pets, I connect with them. I learn their routines and things that make them feel safe. I communicate clearly with owners, send thoughtful updates and treat everyone with respect. I am a student in my senior year looking to make some extra money! I am available throughout the day when I am not in class and free to stay with your pets. I prioritize safety in every detail. I follow routine to monitor a pets behavior and health. Being attentive allows me to ensure no pet falls in harms way. I build trust through consistency and transparency. This may be from updates and such but I treat every pet as if they were my own. I create an environment where your pet feels related, understood, and genuinely happy / loved.
“I just moved to South Carolina a month ago and had to be away a couple of days this past weekend. I was quite anxious having to find someone to stay in my home and take care of my sweet, Nala. She is older, is a rescue, is a large dog, and the move was alot for her. I arranged a meet with Jerry and I was at ease right away; more importantly, Nala was at ease right away. I think dogs sense immediately if a person is a good fit or not. The day I had to leave, Jerry showed up on time (a bit early, actually, which I truly appreciated) and Nala was very excited to see him. Jerry sent many pictures and texts about how things were going over the two days, let me know when he had to leave for awhile and communicated when he was back. Nala needs alot of love and Jerry was attentive and very willing to give affection to her. The stay could not have gone better. Jerry was also very respective of my home and took good care of everything while I was gone. I highly recommend Jerry and am grateful I found him on Rover.”


About: I truly love spending time with all kinds of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their animals. I know that dogs need their exercise and outdoor time, while cats might need a clean litter box and some interactive toy play. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy or your cat needs some gentle chin scratches, I am reliable, attentive, and will always send plenty of photo updates! I work from home full-time, which means my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I am available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, as I'll be right there working nearby. I can easily accommodate mid-day requests and provide plenty of supervised attention and companionship. I strictly follow all security and care instructions to keep your pets and property safe. I am a highly responsible and communicative sitter. I'll send you frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing while you're away.
“If you have pampered babies who need lots of attention and cuddles, Alexa is the sitter you will ever need. She was amazing with my two dogs. Alexa communicates well and is on time. I had an amazing time while on my trip, no worries because I knew she was there with my babies.”

“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.”
“Daniela was very friendly and communicative, and took fantastic care of our dogs. She’s asks questions proactively and goes the extra mile to ensure she’s prepared for any emergency that might be thrown her way. 10/10”

“Outstanding Lisa I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa ! My dog became sick before I have to travel out of state as while I was away, and she handled the situation with such care, patience, and compassion. She kept a close eye on my dog, communicated with me promptly, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Knowing that someone was there who genuinely cared about my dog and treated them like their own gave me tremendous peace of mind. Their responsibility, kindness, and calmness during a stressful situation meant so much to me. I highly recommend this pet sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Lisa you are amazing!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Slater on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,227 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.
