“We were very nervous about leaving our pets for the first time with a sitter outside our family! Kenia made us feel very comfortable and put our minds at ease from the very first meeting. She sent us pictures every day and communicated her schedule and activities with us several times a day. I would without question use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter”

“Kaeli did a wonderful job with our fur babies!!! She provided many updates as we mentioned we loved photos and message updates, she gave our dogs great walks and took excellent care of our home! We wanted an honest person with a heart for dogs and this is certainly Kaeli!! We will absolutely be using her again!”


“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”

“Brandie took such great care of Coco and of my house. She was great sending me updates and pictures. I came home to a happy calm pup who had clearly gotten lots of love. I will definitely be booking Brandie again!”

“Great experience! Gabby was Awesome!!! On-time, super easy, and responsive! She took very good care of our doggies and our home!!! We will definitely reach out to Gabby in the future!!! Thank you!!!”
“Domynique, is fantastic she is always responsive and always keeps up with updates. This is the second time she has watched Nanea (2yo pitty mix) I swear I have not seen Nanea so happy with another person as she is with Domynique. I would 100% recommend using Domynique for your pups.”

“Miley did a wonderful job watching my 8 year old corgi mix, Loki, overnight. He’s usually very anxious, but warmed up quickly to Miley. I came home to a happy pups! Miley was also responsive and provided updates letting me know how things are going.”

About: ⚠️all previous dogsitting has been done off rover⚠️. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled with plenty of attention and affection. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m experienced in giving oral medications and am comfortable following special care instructions to keep your pet healthy and happy. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’ll provide personalized care, regular exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photos and updates throughout the day so you can see all the fun activities, walks, playtime, and cuddles your pup is enjoying. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and in caring, reliable hands. I am currently going to school at Sacramento State University, going into my junior year. This upcoming semester starts late August, I have classes Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10-5pm. I am also actively doing weekly visits with Lucy (in pictures). I typically have an open schedule, and can always make time for any animal! I have 3 acres of land and 2 energetic dogs, I feed and give water to them daily. I also take them to run the yard daily. I have 4 cats which one is my personal cat, I feed and give water daily ( clean litter box every 2 days). I also have a turtle which I let stand in the sun daily for 15 minutes ( with monthly tank cleanings. I just recently got 5 female chickens, I give them a fresh water bucket and full feeder daily.
About: I have never had any issues with taking care of dogs. Always making sure if they need medication it’s on time and always giving them lots of love and play time. I have 2 dogs of my own and I treat them like puppies even though they are older and I’m always checking up on them on every little thing. The most so far I have watched is 4 dogs at a time. :) I am currently in college right now I have classes Monday through Thursday from 9:00-1:20. I also work at Taco Bell on Thursday and Friday.But it’s usually only 4-5 hours as I am focused on pet sitting right now. :) Right now I do not offer boarding as I still live with my parents and have 2 dogs. So the services I am able to offer are daytime, overnight sitting, walks and check ins like potty breaks and playtime. But like I said I treat my own dogs like they’re puppies and I will do the same for your dogs sometimes I play with my dogs too much I get distracted from what I actually need to do lol.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I provide regular updates with photos, stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is receiving reliable, compassionate, and personalized care. I am a full time student all online! I have a reliable car! I am a night owl! Can be a morning riser when needed! I know when my old boy is not feeling well, hot or just need to eat. I have him for 11 years and since he was 8 weeks old! I went through the puppy stage and now while he my old man.
About: As I studied animal science for the majority of my high school and college career, I have learned the necessities of various animals and worked with them from a very young age. This has given me a great deal of patience and experience, as I have taken care of dogs with speical needs, and even more exotic animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, and farm animals. I have prior experience volunteering at Bradshaw Animal Shelter, as well as Priceless Pets Vet Clinic in Southern California. My own golden retriever unfortunately passed away, and he had a condition called Megaesophagus, which is a condition that required him to sit up in a bailey chair to eat and take medication three times daily— he taught me a lot about caring for special needs dogs. I now have two rabbits and a bearded dragon, but I love dogsitting because I miss having my own dog as well. I love to meet various personalities and get to know everyone’s fur babies. I am a realtor and personal trainer, so my schedule is completely self-determined. I train clients early mornings, and any realtor duties I have are scheduled independently so I can work with tons of needs for dogs. I would love to come feed your dog and take them for bathroom breaks, as well as playing and walking with them! I understand how hard it can be for some dogs to be alone while you are out, so I will spend great time with them. I am a very active individual so I can walk as long as needed, and I am open to other activities as well! I provide consistent updates so you can feel comfortable that your dog is taken care of.
About: Welcome to my profile! I’m looking forward to meeting your wonderful pups. ❤️🐶 I offer more than just a walk! I bring a lifelong passion for animals backed by an understanding of pet physiology and behavioral science. Whether your pet is a bouncy puppy, a distinguished senior, or a sweetheart who needs a little extra patience, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. We can enjoy a sniff-filled walk, playtime, or a cozy visit at home. I'm confident to ensure your pet feels happy and comfortable with a caring, gentle approach, giving each dog (or cat!) love, attention, and personalized care while you're away. I offer flexible scheduling throughout the week: Monday - Friday: Available anytime Weekends: By request. I often volunteer, but feel free to message me & I’ll do my best to find a time that works for both of us. My own doggy is fed and walked twice a day, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual routine and care instructions. I use positive reinforcement and gentle redirection to encourage good behavior while keeping pets feeling comfortable and supported. Safety comes first on every walk: I stay alert, keep my phone and headphones put away, and pay attention to our surroundings. Dog parks are an option only if you’d like, and if the environment doesn’t feel safe or comfortable, we’ll leave and choose a calmer route instead.
About: I absolutely adore all animals and understand that times get busy and you want to be able to go out and be social, I love offering help to those who want a night out without the stress of finding a dog sitter I currently am working part time and wanting to bring in extra income, I figured working with animals is the best way as it is my everyday life! I have a dog area for my own, he is a free roaming dog who loves cuddles and pets, he’s fed twice a day, morning and night, water always topped off, he has his own basket of toys and his own dog bed throne!
“Angela is fantastic! Very dog savvy, reads dogs well, and took wonderful care of our girl while we were out of town. We love our dog but she is a LOT and Angela handled her perfectly. Great communicator- she let us know when she arrived so we didn't worry and gave a followup message at the end of the visit. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of animals for almost 7 years! I am constantly around animals, and I love learning the needs and wants for each dog and/or cat. Every animal has their own little personality that makes them the best, and I want to learn what your animals need in order for them to thrive in my care. I am comfortable around all dog/cat breeds, and have experience taking care of a range of breeds. When I come to walk, spend time with, and take care of your animals, they are my first priority, and I will do everything in my power to make sure they feel loved and cared for. I understand that every dog or cat needs different things, and I am more than willing to adapt to meet you and your pet where you need me! I have a dog and cat of my own- a rescue Labradoodle named Beau, and a short-haired tabby named Kona! They mean the world to me, and I will treat your animal with the love and respect that I treat my own animal babies with! Skills: I have ample experience in treating dogs who require medication, as well as senior dogs who need some extra care and attention to ensure comfortability and happiness. I am happy to lightly groom your pet if needed. For any medical accomodations, just give me a heads up so that I can best take care of your doggie! I have had almost a lifetime of taking care of cats, and am not a stranger to the many different and cooky personalities they can have. I have experience with a range of kitties who vary from requiring a little more space to get comfortable, as well cats who are super extroverted and friendly from the get-go. I have experience in brushing and maintaining both short-haired and long-haired cats, nail clipping, litter box maintenance, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, giving oral medication, etc. I am currently working part-time, but I have a lot of flexibility and work mostly mornings and early afternoons. I am also a college student with a very accommodating schedule! I have a lot of free time during the days and evenings, so I am virtually always able to come check-in and spend time with your fur baby! I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, so navigating new environments in nothing new to me. Whatever your dog/cat needs, I am willing and able. Cleaning up after animal accidents/tidying up after playtime are things that I love to do to ensure that you and your animal feel comfortable in your home!
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with my dog Emma and Piper. She came over for a meet and greet prior to the sitting with my dogs and they immediately liked her. I was gone for several days and she took great care of my pups. She sent videos and pictures every day. I would highly recommend Sarah and will certainly use her again!”

“I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I will give your dog lots of attention, scratch his favorite places, play with him with his/her favorite toys and of course take him on walks. Depending on the dog I would hope to play fetch and run around with him, or if he's used to being in the house then we will just lounge around. I had my own dog when I was younger, we used to play fetch and play his and seek a lot. I understand that not all dogs are the same. I will heed your words carefully and follow them to the letter. You are the dog's mother/father so if anyone knows what should be done it would be you. I will also add grooming if you have any brush or shampoo, let me know. I am currently working part time and doing excersice to stay in shape. So incorporating a dog walk is a great way to exercise with company. I am an uncle to an Austrian cattle dog and a pit bull. They are both energetic and they jump and softly bite me sometimes, so please don't worry if your dog is a jumper or biter. I will always listen to owners instructions since they know their dogs best.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs! Spending time with animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company, I always make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I also have a puppy of my own named Jugnu, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your fur baby. Having a puppy has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and giving animals the love and attention they need every day. I know how energetic and playful puppies can be, and I genuinely enjoy being around them! I am flexible, dependable, and willing to adapt to your pet’s routine so they stay as comfortable and happy as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing at home, or getting extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to giving pets consistent attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions provided by owners. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by being attentive, patient, dependable, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure at all times

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sloughhouse is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $60 per night. 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 2,765 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sloughhouse. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
