“Emma watched my dogs in my home and she provided exceptional care. She kept me updated with photos and videos and daily updates. The care she provided was 10/10, 5 ⭐️ I will be using her for future care and highly recommend her for your pets.”
“Ashlee has house-sat and cared for our dog several times, and she’s been fantastic every time. Ellie is always well taken care of, and Ashlee consistently follows all of our instructions while leaving the house just as she found it. She truly goes above and beyond, taking Ellie out to the field for runs and even giving her baths afterward when Ellie inevitably finds a muddy puddle to jump into. I highly recommend Ashlee for any pet-sitting needs!”
“This was my first time using Felicia. She did a great job, communicated well, & sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. She followed instructions and spent time outside with my dog, which he loves. I'm glad she was able to dog sit and look forward to having her do it again soon!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our Katia! She watched our two dogs and house-sat for two days, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Even though this was her first time sitting for us, she was very communicative, kept us updated, and sent lots of photos of our pups, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave our dogs and our home. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Aspen took amazing care of our house and pets while we were away. Her communication is excellent and she is so thoughtful and considerate! We would book her again anytime and highly recommend her!”
About: I am reliable and routine based. I will ensure the babies are fed,walked,bathed and receive the most love while in my care. Communication is very important to me and memories so I ensure that you will get FaceTime calls with the babies along with photos and videos and even some arts and crafts! I currently work from home so they furr babies will not be left alone. I have an SUV so car rides will be included if owner approved. I live in a two story loft apartment. It is Square Apartments ; so there is a beautiful walking trail on the complex and I also have a play area for the dogs inside of my home. Nap time is crucial so after play time I do play relaxing instrumentals to lounge and decompress. Rubs are a given and lots of hugs.
“Anna did a FANTASTIC job of watching our pups! She’s extremely punctual, very good with communicating, and she left our house in really great shape. I will absolutely be contacting Anna again if she’s available- awesome sitter and highly recommend.”
“Savannah was great with our girls while we are out of town! They were a little disappointed for us to come home I think ? Definitely recommended! She kept in touch with us through our trip and I was at ease knowing she was with them!”
About: I'm a West Texas native — born here, schooled in El Paso, graduate work at Texas Tech — who spent twenty years in the Seattle area before coming home to Lubbock. I've been caring for animals professionally since 2003, most of that as All Shook Up Dogs and Design in Washington, where I served more than 200 regular clients: drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, vet and groom transport, medication administration, and senior care. Alongside it I've been a nonprofit executive director, a dance educator, and a small business owner, and I'm currently finishing a master's in art history. I hold degrees from the University of Notre Dam, Texas Tech, and Northeastern. What all of it has in common is showing up on time for people who are counting on me. My own dogs are the reason I'm good at this. I have six, and they are not decorative. We train — herding, agility, nose work, and a frankly unreasonable amount of ball. I cook for them. I study canine behavior and nutrition the way I study anything else, which is to say obsessively. I've spent years in Australian Shepherd rescue and have served on the national board of a breed rescue organization since 2012, which means I've seen what happens to smart dogs whose needs go unmet. That's why my specialty is herding breeds. A bored Aussie, Border Collie, or Heeler doesn't need another lap around the block — it needs a job. Reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs with complicated medical routines are all welcome here. I work in your home so your pet keeps their own routine, their own bed, and their own smells. You'll get photos and an honest update every visit. I have full availability Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and I can take early morning and late evening visits the rest of the week around a standing commitment. Holidays are usually open — just ask. Midday and recurring visits are my sweet spot. If your dog needs a reliable lunchtime break while you're at work, I can build a standing schedule and keep it consistent week after week. I take a limited number of clients so nobody gets a rushed visit. I'm building toward pet care full-time, so my availability will keep opening up. If we're not a fit for your dates right now, ask me again in a few months. I work in your home, on your pet's schedule. Before the first visit we'll do a walk-through together — feeding, medications, where the leash lives, which door sticks, what your dog does when the doorbell rings, and who your vet is. I'd rather ask ten questions up front than guess once. Dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise and the space is genuinely secure. I lock up behind me every time, and I'll bring in mail, rotate lights, and water plants so the house looks lived in while you're gone. If something seems off — a refused meal, limping, vomiting, a dog who just isn't acting like themselves — you'll hear from me right away, and I'll get to your vet or the emergency clinic if that's what's needed. Nothing gets hidden or held back for an end-of-trip summary. I have dogs of my own at home and I change clothes and wash up between households, so nothing travels from my place to yours.

I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and are cared for according to your instructions. I’m available for pet care visits frequently throughout the day.

You need to genuinely care about animals in order to do this job well. I love spending time with pets because they are so loving and affectionate. Another quality is patience. Pets can be unpredictable at times, which means you need to stay calm when things don’t go as planned. Patience also helps me communicate effectively with owners.

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 Slide 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 Slide 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Slide 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
