“We had an amazing experience with Keishla and can’t recommend her enough. She went above and beyond caring for our cat and our home, and her thoughtful updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a house in perfect shape. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to watch your pet, book with Keishla without hesitation. We are already planning on having her back again!”
“Noel did a great job taking care of Daphne making my trip possible. Very good with communicating and pictures. Kept her busy with games and walks. Hoping she will be available for future stays!”
About: We are devoted dog enthusiasts! Having grown up with dogs and many other pets, we welcome your dog as family and care for them as we would our own. Our charming pugs greet all dogs and love playing together in our enclosed yard, reached through a pet door. We understand both puppies and older dogs—one of our pugs is 15 years old, and we’ve nurtured our companions since infancy. We both work from home so all dogs will have ongoing attention day in/day out. Our pugs are allowed on our furniture, but I will abide with guests' home rules, so no bad behaviors will be learned, but will be spoiled with walks, treats and plenty of love and attention. We are happy to have a meet and greet prior to boarding for added peace-of-mind for dog parents. While with us, your fur babies will be treated like they are part of our family.
“Charlene was great! She was on time, communicated well, left my home spotless and it appears my dogs loved her. I definitely recommend her and would use her services again if the need arises.”
“Sydney was the best sitter we’ve ever had for milo. She sent us frequent updates and photos of our little guy and I felt complete peace of mind knowing Milo was so happy and safe with her.”
“Aicha has been so great with our dog. He has had some special needs at times and she is always accommodating and responsive with updates. We have had both last minute done drop requests and in-home stays and she has been awesome to work with. Highly recommend.”
“I can't say enough good things about our recent experience with Johnna pet/house sitting for us. Johnna took the time to meet us first to make sure it would be a good fit. Our dog is a senior and Johnna was so kind and considerate of all of his needs. Her little dog Bonnie is so adorable and I think having her here made Dexter feel even more comfortable. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. She left the house spotless and even watered our outdoor plants! It was by far the best experience I have had with a pet sitter. I have already reserved another pet sitting!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my dog sitter! She was incredibly responsive from the start, always quick to reply and keep me updated while I was away. What stood out most was her flexibility—she easily adjusted to my dog’s routine and any last-minute changes without hesitation. Above all, her kindness and genuine care for my pup truly gave me peace of mind. It’s clear she treats every dog like her own, and I feel lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Trinity watched my two dogs at my house for 11 days and they loved her! I was a little worried how my chihuahua would react since he’s usually pretty scared and reactive with new people but she won him over the first evening. My neighbor even commented on how quiet she was the whole time. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Cheryl was great with my two dogs and cat. Followed their routines, sent daily photos and updates and left my house cleaner than when I left! I would definitely book her again.”
“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”
“Niiyah took great care of our cats while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates and it was clear that she gave our pets and home a lot of care and attention. We highly recommend Niiyah!”
“Gabriela was great with Milo, she came through for us last minute for an evening sitting. Walked milo and took him in backyard to hang out which he loves. Great communication and updates.”
“Shelby was absolutely incredible as our dog sitter. She went above and beyond for us and for our pups in every possible way. Not only was she attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring, but she also stuck with us through what seemed like the worst luck imaginable all week long. Despite facing some fears and dealing with a string of unexpected challenges, Shelby never once gave up or made us feel like our dogs were anything less than her priority. Her patience, resilience, and kindness truly stood out. Knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and cared for so thoughtfully gave us so much peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate. Shelby handled everything with grace, heart, and professionalism, and we are beyond grateful she stayed and saw everything through. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough. 🩷”
“Jenna cared for our Ruby in our home when we vacationed— Ruby has never been without my husband or I and is anxious around other people. Jenna was amazing! She sent photos and videos of them cuddling, which made me feel so much more comfortable that we left Ruby in the perfect hands! She has also been able to give my husband and I some tips about Ruby’s behaviors that were spot on! If you need someone with a gentle loving touch who can get through to even the most fickle dog, hire this lovely woman. She also took great care of our home.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sloughhouse on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,761 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sloughhouse. 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 Sloughhouse 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 Sloughhouse 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 Sloughhouse 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.

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.
