“Melanie was AMAZING. Prior to the drop in visit, Melanie was able to come and meet my new puppy and my older dog and get to know them. Melanie then made it a point to check in with me consistently to ask about my dogs because she knew my puppy wasn't feeling so great. She cares so much, and loves the dogs like they're her own. Also, her knowledge of dogs is out of this world, she gave me great advice that has helped me a ton with my new puppy. I cannot recommend Melanie enough!! We will 100% be using Melanie again!!!!”
“We had a fantastic meet up with Anyu and felt comfortable leaving her with our precious Lana to drop in and check on her while we were out of town.”
About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs for about 5 years now, whether it be my own, neighbors, or friends. I also worked in a doggy day care for about a year before I had to leave since I moved. I have experience with dogs as large as great dane's and as small as teacup pups. I have walked, fed, and even given a bath from time to time. I also have experience with giving dog’s medication if they need it. I am currently a student and am not working a job, I only have about 3 hours worth of classes a day. I also only have my club activities for about an hour three nights a week. When it comes to others dogs when letting them out I watch them if they have a gated yard if not I make sure to follow the directions exactly. I make sure they can’t get anything they can choke on. I almost always have an eye on the dog I am watching. I treat the pup as if they were my own and give them so much love!
About: I have extensive experience of dog sitting, housesitting and babysitting. I was a full-time nanny for about seven years and began dog sitting from time to time when I could. Now that those kids are older and I have graduated and gotten a full-time job in my field, I still try to dog sit, housesit and babysit during my free time. I have always loved working with children and pets and I am so grateful for each experience I’ve had so far. I like to try to do something active with the pets and children I care for instead of sitting inside for too long and I always leave homes tidy, and clean to provide an stress-free arrival for all parents. I work 8:30-4:30 Monday through Thursday and 8:30-12:30 on Fridays but I am always free on the weekends and I can always provide overnight care. I live and work in Shreveport so I accept jobs in both Shreveport and Bossier but no further than that as I feel I would not be able to provide adequate care at greater distances. I prefer to stay at the client’s home as the pets will not have to adjust to a new environment but I am not opposed to caring for one pet at a time in my home. As far as care, I like to meet the client and pet and get instructions on what routine they are used to so that I can follow that as closely as possible and keep them happy while their parents are away! I also like to stay in contact with parents to let them know what we have been up to and send them pictures of their pets with updates!
“Aaliyah was quick to respond and did a fantastic job looking after my girls. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even took great pictures of them, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and would absolutely trust her with them again”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was young. I grew up with goats, cats, dogs, bunnies, and many more fun critters. I find a lot of joy being around animals. When I was 9 I helped my family’s pet goat give birth and helped raise them until they were rehomed to different farms. That is just one of the many fun stories I have from growing up surrounded by a variety of animals. I’m pretty comfortable with all personalities of pets and am very accommodating to specific routines and lifestyles. I used to work at a pet hospital so, that educated me on how to care for injured or sick pets. As well as, how to handle different behaviors of pets to benefit their safety and day to day life. I believe that all pets deserve kind and loving care no matter the age. I’m currently a stay at home wife with plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available Monday-Saturday all day and Sundays after 12 PM, unless we make special accommodations for overnights or other accommodations. I live in a quiet neighborhood and have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for playing and exercise. I also have two dogs that love making new friends. For boarding at my house I like to let the dogs have plenty of outside time. Whether it’s in the backyard playing, going on a walk, or a trip to the dog park. I’m also up for quiet days with snuggles on the couch. I am happy to crate your dog if requested- one of my dogs are crated when they are home alone due to anxiety so I understand the necessity if needed. I also have indoor cameras to monitor my pets while I’m not home, so your pets will always have an eye on them even if I’m not physically there to ensure their safety. For overnight stays in your home, it is completely up to your discretion how you’d like me to care for your pets. If you have special instructions for your pet care I am open to almost anything, I don’t think any ask is too big or too small.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. Family and friends call me to take care of their pups while they are away. I am here to keep your dog active by taking them on walks, throwing a ball/frisbee, or just keeping them company while you are away. I am currently a student at Belhaven University as well as a member of the softball team. I am available most early mornings, late evenings and sometimes overnight if needed. I will spend time outside with your dog to keep them active wether that be walking down the road, going to the park, or playing in your backyard. I will also keep them company in the comfort of their own home while you are away.
“Passion did an awesome job of taking care of our furbabies while we were out of town for a couple of days at Christmas. Her communication was awesome! She answered all our questions and sent lots of pictures! This was the first time we’d used a pet sitter and I was nervous, but she set our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be calling her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sligo is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sligo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sligo. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
