“I was incredibly nervous as this was the first time I have ever used a pet sitter, but my anxiety disappeared the moment I met David. He was fantastic from start to finish. He came over a few days before the appointment to meet Gracie and for us all to get acquainted, which put both me and my pup at ease. When the actual pet sitting day arrived, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly considerate. He sent multiple photo updates throughout his visit, which absolutely made my day and let me know Gracie was in great hands. It’s safe to say Gracie has found a new BFF! This dog mom is thrilled to have found such a reliable, caring person to stay with her baby when I need to be away from the house for an extended period of time. I highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking him again!”
“DeAnna stayed overnight with my pup Rex. I loved seeing him chilling out on the patio. He was calm and content when I got home, so I know he had a great time. DeAnna is easy to communicate with and has lots of doggie experience. I can't wait to book her again to stay with Rex!”
“We left our dog and cat with Tony for 2 weeks and He sent us photos almost everyday When we came back from our vacation we saw both healthy, and Tony took care even of the house 100% approved and for sure we will call him again in the future”
“Jenn was absolutely amazing! My dog was very well taken care of & I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. I HIGHLY recommend her & will be using her services again & again! Thanks for everything Jenn!”
“My dogs (one of whom is usually very anxious) seemed to instantly like Danielle, which is always such a relief when I leave them with a sitter. My house was clean and tidy when I returned, and my pooches were securely locked up in their crates and calm. Thankyou!”
“Aaron is incredibly professional and easy to work with. He’s great with our GSD and helps him get the activity he needs! Aaron is very thorough in preparing to take care of someone’s dog correctly and is prompt with his coordination and sent us lots of updates on how our dog was doing. We are incredibly satisfied with Aaron and thankful he could look after our dog!”
“Laurel watched our cat and dog while we were out of town for a week and had watched them prior to this trip as well. She took great care of them both, always made sure she had their schedule, and checked in with us often! She sent us plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone, which we greatly appreciated! Laurel made sure both our animals were well taken care of and attended to while we were away. We would love to utilize Laurel again!!!”
“Marissa did a great job house/cat sitting while we were away for a few days. She was punctual, communicated with us how things were going, and most importantly, took great care of our cat!!”
“I’m more than happy with Alysse’s service! Het attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor truly made a difference in my cats & my experience. The care and effort she puts into making sure everything was perfect. Her dedication to her work is evident, and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the service. 🙏🏾”
“I can not say enough great things about Rachel. This was my first time using someone from here to watch my fur baby so I was a bit nervous. This young lady is beyond professional, attentive and kind. She made me feel at ease within a few minutes of speaking with her . She kept me updated on all things involving my little Ace and he liked her immediately. I plan on using her again and again and would definitely recommend her!”
“Lindsey was willing to stay at our home for a week to house sit our 10 year old pitbull mix while we were away on vacation. Not only was she great at taking care of our home while we were away (cleaned, did laundry, took the trash to the edge of the drive for trash day, etc.) but she did a phenomenal job of taking care of our pup the entire time - she was very communicative and made sure to send us pictures and updates daily! We will definitely be asking Lindsey to help us again in the future and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone we know!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals, including dogs 🐕 , cats 🐈 ,rats 🐀, chameleons 🌈 , iguanas 🦎 , and birds 🐥. Currently, my family has five cats 🐈⬛ (four of which are mine), two dogs 🐶 (a Rottweiler and a Lab Mix), two birds 🦜(a Conyard and an Amazon parrot), and a large Sulcata tortoise 🐢 . I also have a jumping spider 🕷️ . I’m well-versed in all aspects of animal care ❤️🩹and have a lot of patience 🤗. I’ll give your pets all the love and attention they need. 💕 I’m currently between jobs because I recently moved here. So, my typical morning routine involves opening the blinds, feeding my cats, and checking on my spider. I would treat my clients’ animals as if they were my own and would adapt to the specific needs of each pet as per the client’s instructions.
About: Hi, I’m Trinity! I recently earned my MBA and am a former collegiate track and field athlete. I’ve loved animals my whole life and originally studied biology with plans to attend veterinary school. I grew up with a family dog I was very close to, and after losing them, I became even more passionate about giving pets love, patience, and care. As an adult, I got my own dogs, Scooby and Nola, and I treat every pet I watch with that same level of love and protection. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or companionship, I make sure they feel safe and happy. New to Rover? Use my link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/trinb48610 I provide loving, reliable pet care by feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while owners are away I treat every pet like my own. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and care. In clients’ homes, I follow their pet’s routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.
“Ariana was AMAZING! Our sitter canceled on us with less than a months notice. We were very nervous but she was super kind and communicative! Our dogs lived her and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 11. I have a yellow lab and love her to death. I love taking her to the park, creek, and walks all the time. I am look for a easy summer job and something fun before I go off to college. I do have experience with taking care of other animals as well. I watch my sisters poodle very frequently, and dog sit when my friends are out of town. I currently do not have a job so I’m free everyday mostly. I have a very flexible schedule and am very quit to communicate with text and call. I have a yellow lab to keep your dog company if they come over. I do not have a fenced yard but can easily take them on a walk or even the dog park that is right down the road from my house.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds and have cared for a wide variety of pets over the years, including cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more. My lifelong experience has taught me that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routines—and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reliable companion, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. From energetic dogs to shy cats and small animals, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Scheduling & Availability I recently relocated to the area and currently have open availability, which gives me the flexibility to help with everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight stays and last-minute bookings. I understand that life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to accommodate your schedule while providing reliable, loving care for your pets. Pet Care in Your Home At this time, I provide care exclusively in your pet's home. I recently relocated, and I find that caring for pets in their familiar environment allows them to stay comfortable, maintain their normal routines, and experience less stress while you're away. By caring for your pets in their own home, I can ensure they receive personalized attention, exercise, companionship, and consistent care in a place where they feel safe and secure.
“Kristen watched our sweet boy (dog) while we were away for the weekend and stayed at our house. She took great care of him, left the house in mint condition and sent frequent updates to keep us informed. Would definitely recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Slayden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 350 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Slayden. 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 Slayden 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 Slayden 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 Slayden 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 with handling special pet needs in Slayden. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
