“Ashlee was a great hire for combination house & pet sitting for 17 days while we traveled. Our dog and cat (the bunny is human indifferent) were comfortable with her from the first meeting and she continued that positive interaction with them while we were gone. She read over the pages of notes, asked good questions, and that communication continued with daily photos, status updates, and occasional questions, like how to cheer up Ozzie one evening when he looked sad and didn't want to eat. Besides sleeping in the house, I think she played with them a lot more than we do, took Ozzie for walks, spent time just being in the house with them, and really looked out for their welfare. When she dropped off the key Ozzie was SO happy to see her and acted like his favorite people were all together now! She followed requests for taking care of the plants and brought in the outdoor pots when the temp suddenly dropped. Pets and plants were happy and healthy when we returned, and the house was neat and tidy. We'd never met her before trusting her with our home and pets for 17 days, and didn't worry at all while we were away. We'll definitely contact Ashlee for future trips!!”

“I was nervous about having a stranger in my home but Perri was amazing! We had her house sitting for 2 weeks, she was patient, caring and she really gave me an ease of mind, I would recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter ! Thank you so much Perri for allowing me to enjoy my vacation and loving my baby ❤️”

“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!”

“Emma took the best care of our babies. We arrived home to our house with a happy old pup and lazy cat. She catered to their every need and left everything just as she found it. We had to add last minute medication to be given to our older dog and Emma took care of his meds and supplements with ease. She spoiled our little dog while we were gone and it was so nice for him to get to stay in his own home while we were gone. We will definitely be using Emma again when we have to be away without the pets.”

About: From farm animals, to show animals. I’ve experienced it all. We personally have animals that need daily medication, so there’s really nothing I haven’t done. Especially on a farm, I’ve rescued and rehabbed many different types of animals. Before or after my Monday-Friday. If special accommodations need to happen, it’s really no big deal. I can make it work to fit your needs. I follow your exact household routine so your pet feels minimal disruption. This includes feeding and medication on schedule, refreshing food and water, thorough litter-box scooping and cleaning, playtime or walks, and any enrichment or cuddle time your pet enjoys. I also perform basic home checks (locking doors, bringing in mail, watering plants if requested) while treating your space with complete respect. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, I adapt to your cat’s or dog’s preferences—quiet companionship for shy pets, interactive play for energetic ones—and provide detailed updates throughout the visit.
About: Hello, my name is Arianna!! I have a profound love for animals, especially dogs! Currently, I have a Dutch Shepherd/Jack Russel Terrier mix, her name is Dakotah. She’s such a sweet dog! Because she is such a major part of my world, I completely understand firsthand how incredibly intimidating and scary it can be to hand over the keys and trust someone else to watch your beloved pets. I deeply relate to that exact anxiety whenever I need to find a sitter for Dakotah. Because of that personal understanding, my standard of care is built on absolute transparency. I am honest, trustworthy, exceptionally reliable, hard-working, and responsible. I am incredibly big on planning ahead, sticking to the same routines, and paying strict attention to detail to guarantee that everything goes exactly as planned without any disruptions. When you trust me with your fur babies, I treat them with the same protective focus and structure that I give my own dog. I will always ensure your doggy is fully taken care of, thoroughly loved, and kept safe while mom/dad are away so that they never feel alone or abandoned. I would absolutely love the opportunity to watch your precious dogs, so let’s set up a time to connect and get this pawty started!! I am currently home full-time, so all the doggies will have my full attention!! 📅 Scheduling & Availability Policy To ensure the best, most attentive care for every pet, my schedule operates on a strict first-come, first-served basis. • Securing Your Spot: Bookings are only secured once they are officially confirmed through the app. • Rotating Schedules: For clients with rotating or non-traditional work schedules, please send your dates as far in advance as possible to guarantee your spots! ⏰ Fixed Schedule Slots I prioritize my pre-confirmed bookings to guarantee top-tier, unhurried care. New bookings must fit within my remaining available time slots, so that no pet's care is rushed or disrupted. 📸 Privacy & Photo Updates Policy I love keeping you updated with daily photos of your doggy! Please note that to honor the privacy and consent of all owners, my updates feature only your dog. While your pet will absolutely enjoy socializing and playing with others, my policy is that I do not capture or distribute multi-dog photos. 🏡 Boarding & Doggy Day Care • ☀️ Indoor & Outdoor Time: For boarding and doggy day care, I give the dog(s) a daily walk along with spending time both indoors and outdoors. I have a few indestructible toys for the dog(s) to play with along with water that is always out if they need water. • 💧 Specialized Hydration: I can put the water up if there are any dogs that drink too much water. • 📋 Stress-Free Routines: I like to closely follow a routine for each dog to maximize the care and comfort because the dog is in a new environment and it can be stressful for the dog. 🚗 Drop-Ins, Walking, & House-Sitting • 🔒 Home Security & Comfort: For drop-in visits, walking, or house-sitting, I like to follow the owner’s care instructions and routine since I will be dropping by their own home environment. • 🔄 Seamless Routine Continuity: I want to continue with their own routine to maximize that dog’s security, comfort, and routine. 🛡️ Safety & House Rules • Collars Stay On: All dogs must wear a collar or harness during their stay. • Instant Control: This policy ensures I can quickly handle any emergency or sudden situation. • Your Liability: My home is a structured environment where safety always comes before comfort. • No Exceptions: I enforce this standard rule to protect your pet and everyone else. 💬 My Commitment to You • 🤝 Building Lasting Trust: I believe that elite care starts with building a solid foundation of trust with both the owner and the dog. I focus heavily on creating a calm, safe, and intuitive connection with your dog from the very first meeting, ensuring they feel completely at ease. • 📱 Clear Communication: I am very big on communication because it allows me to meet you where you are at and also to meet your dog where they are at. I believe communication helps set everyone up for success. It is also to ensure both owner and dog(s) is/are comfortable and secure in knowing that I am taking care of and loving on their furry child. Because at the end of the day that is what I am here to do: I am here to take care of and love on your furry child as if the dog is my own for the time being!!
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.
About: I am incredibly attentive and will absolutely do my best care with your animals!! I am flexible and willing to work with you when needed!! I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own and am willing to work around school to cater to your pet sitting needs!! I am incredibly attentive and careful around animals!!

“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!”

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.

“Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!”

“We left our two pups with very different personalities with Paul and I cannot write enough wonderful things about the experience! Paul was very communicative, sending a ton of updates, photos, and videos. The pups always looked happy and engaged and we are so thankful they were in great hands while we were away!”

I am currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to check on your pets whenever needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Slide on Rover is $31.08 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 250 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Slide. 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 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.
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 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!
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 Slide. 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.
