“Cheryl is amazing! I definitely recommend her to spend time with your loved pets. She is so caring and kind. She stayed in our home and loved on our fur babies while we were away. She is very detailed oriented and we felt so comfortable with her.”
“Jacalyn is awesome. Great communication skills. Punctual. We have one dog that doesn't take well to strangers, takes a long time to warm up, yet at the first meet and greet, he went right up to her for pets. I was impressed. Our other dog wanted her attention also. I would highly recommend her for all pet care needs.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! Sent me multiple updates with pictures throughout the night and made us feel very confident with him. She attentive and caring, especially with our little 12 wk old! She left our home in better shape than it was before she came. Could not recommend more!”
“Ellen did a great job watching our dogs for 5 nights, one of which has sever separation anxiety. She sent daily updates and pictures, which really helped us enjoy our vacation knowing the dogs were happy. She also took great care of the house. She went above and beyond keeping the house picked up and sheets washed. Would highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Haylie was really pleasant with our two dogs while we were away. As this was our first experience together Haylie communicated well, handled a special request and, the dogs connected with her as well. Definitely planning on rebooking with her.”
“We are delighted to have had Anna housesit for our 3 cats. It was obvious how relaxed they were from her updates & pictures of our happy, playful cats! Our 3 girls want Anna to return!!”
About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
“Loved Alex so much! I have an anxious little lady and the minute Alex walked in Soph laid on the floor and wanted tummy rubs. She had a very calming presence which was so comforting knowing she would be in good hands. She was so easy to communicate with and kept us updated while we were gone. Would love to use her again ❤️”
“Amanda was wonderful with our JoJo and Lexi. Amanda is kind and very good with animals. We felt confident that we could go away and not give another thought to how our girls were in her hands and could just enjoy being away. We knew everything would be just great and we were right. I'm very happy to have had Amanda at our home and will definitely use her services again.”
“Michaela was very good and responsible. He communicated very good and sent me pics of Russell. She has a great disposition to and made Russell feel safe from the get go. Since my dog was abused as a pup is hard for him to warm up to people he doesn’t know, but he warm up very soon with her as he felt her good energy all around. I would definitely recommend Michaela and I will use her services every time I need to travel. Thank you Michaela.”

“Amelie and Stephen sat for our dog, Dexter, and our cat, Lucy, while we were out of town for a weekend. We felt incredibly assured during our time away that our pets were being well cared for and provided with lots of love. We were given consistent updates on how the stay was going and what our animals were up to. They graciously provided many pictures during the stay that continued to provide us with a sense of calm knowing our fur babies were in very good hands. We have already rebooked with them for a future trip, and will continue to do so! We cannot recommend them enough!”

“Megan was wonderful! She spent a lot of time with our girls and showered them with affection. We received many photos and videos of them playing and relaxing outside, which ensured us they were doing fine. She even vacuumed and picked up before she left. Would definitely schedule with her again and highly recommend her.”
“We were thrilled when Travis agreed to watch our pup, Opi. Travis came over in advance to meet us and Opi. We knew he was a great match when he immediately greeted Opi and started petting him. Travis is responsive and sent us photos everyday. Opi really seemed to enjoy his time with Travis! Not only did Travis take excellent care of Opi but also our house! We would definitely recommend Travis to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will for sure use Travis again when we travel. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our house and pup were in the best of hands. Thank you again!”
About: I am an animal lover and will take great care of your pet. I have experience owning dogs and currently own a 5 year old Doberman Pinscher named Moon. I am extremely active and love to take dogs on walks, to the park to play and outside to get fresh air. Having experience volunteering at the humane society, I am aware of different pet personalities and cautious of their well-being and comfort. I will honor the owner's rules and routines in order to make the experience positive for all parties involved. I live in an area great for walking dogs and running them with toys. If the pet needs extra attention or additional exercise, I will be able to accommodate with my flexible work schedule. Thanks!

“Erin is a fantastic dog sitter . She spent the weekend at our home caring for our 6 year old Boston Terrier who weighs 36 lbs. He doesn’t do well without a human to care for him. He is also a picky eater. She is very caring and responsible. She also sent pictures of him that gives you a good feeling while away. She has dogs of her own and it shows. We are happy she was available and will definitely use her in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,046 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Slinger. 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 Slinger 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 Slinger 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 Slinger 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
