“Jennifer did an excellent job caring for our large Bernedoodle for 2 overnights. She was reliable & a good communicator with us on how Pippi was doing! I would definitely recommend her!!”
“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“We are very thankful for Emma. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She kept us updated with photos. She was respectful of our home. Couldn’t ask for more! We will def use her again.”
“Alexa did an awesome job taking care of our pets while we were out of town. She came over ahead of time to make sure she was a good fit as a sitter and to get all of the care instructions. She communicated excellently morning and evening and sent pics too. 10 out of 10. Will definitely ask her to care for them again. Thank you Alexa!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 13 and have been entrusted with the care of multiple animals at the same time for weeks at a time. I have and still house sit, walk, feed, and am able to give medication to animals when needed. I have house sat for a dog with neurological issues multiple times. I am able to handle small and larger breeds. I have dogs myself so I can read other's signals quite well. I am also well rounded in taking care of cats. I will have graduate assistantship on campus which will not exceed 20 hours per week and classes only once a day and only three days a week giving me a lot of time to fit pet care into my schedule. I am also good at deciding if I can handle certain jobs at times and advocate for myself. I will usually work with the owner and ask them to provide information on how they would like me to care for their animal(s) just to make sure they receive the best care and can stay on their normal day to day schedule. I am good in an emergency and if there is one I can act quickly and get pets to the best care possible. I like to work with all animals using positive reinforcement and patience and am able to keep to the rules that have been set for them by their owners as well. I will treat the pet(s) the same way in their own home as I would if they were in mine. I always want their experience away from their person to be as stress free as I can make it.
“Elle is a wonderful dog sitter. I felt that my fur babies were in good hands while we were out of town. I will definitely request her services in the future and highly recommend her to others.”
“Ashley went above and beyond for us and our dogs! She came over the day before watching them to meet them and know their routines. She took them out on nice, long walks and was dedicated in her care! She took pictures and videos of her outings with them and communicated regularly with us. She was so sweet with them!”
About: As a nursing student, I'm highly attentive, responsible and comfortable following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet needs medication, a strict routine, or just of attention and playtime, I'll make sure they are well cared for while you're away! I am currently a nursing student at LMU. As a nursing student, I keep a structured schedule and am very organized with my time. Spending time with animals is also a great way for me to unwind and recharge outside of school, so I am more than happy to help you while you're away! I strive to keep pets on their normal routine to make them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I am very detail oriented so I prioritize carefully follow feeding, walking, medication and care instructions provided by the owner. And if anything is ever unclear, I always communicate that to the owner! I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise (I love my daily walks!), playtime and affection, while also keeping their environment clean and safe.
“We have used Rover several times for in-house dog sitting, and I can honestly say that Emma has been hands down, the best. She took excellent care of our pup and our home while we were away on vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures, and when we arrived home, the house was tidy and looked as if she had never been there. Emma is extremely professional and a genuinely nice person. Will definitely book again for our next trip!”
About: Medically retired Veteran and stay at home dad with lots of time on my hands to care for fur kids and keep a watchful eye on them. I have dog sat for friends' pets and personal pets that I've owned for over 30 years. I don't currently have another job. So, aside from medical appointments, I don't have any issues with daily or weekly routines. I should be able to conform to any and all needs. I always care for every pet as though that pet were my own. I know how sensitive each pet can be, so I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with someone else's pet.
“Mashon is basically a dog whisperer. She was amazing with Heeley. A very calm person. Heeley is a puppy and can be a handful. She handled her with ease. And in a very loving way. Her mom appreciated that. And if mama is happy everyone is :)”
“Hannah & Blake took such great care of our 3 dogs while we were out of the country for almost 2 weeks. We have one dog who is a bit particular, so Hannah came over a few times before hand so Millie could get a little bit comfortable with her, and they worked with her to allow her to get to know them and went at her speed! We received updates and photos throughout, and even though we had a time period where we were out of communication range, I felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. The dogs and house were in fantastic shape when we returned, and we didn't have to do anything to clean up from having someone stay in the home! We would absolutely use Hannah again to dog sit in the future!”
“She took such good care of my two dogs! She stayed over at my house for long hours and made sure they had plenty of play, love, and outside time. The pictures she sent me while away showed that they were sooo happy! I will definitely reach out again!”
About: I’m a vet tech that graduated from college last year. I work at a vet clinic full time and I know CPR. I know what to do in very needed times. I can take care of them before work, on my lunch break if needed, and after work. If they are well trained and small dogs, I can take them with me to work as well. I do need to know at least a week or two in advance as to plan. I also have other clients that schedule far out with me. I do not watch animals at my apartment. If I do, I have to pay the animal fee of $350. I do enjoy and like to watch animals at their house. I make sure they can’t get into anything while I’m gone and I also make sure the house is locked when I leave so no one else enters while I’m gone.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.
“I was very pleased with Paige and her quick response to meeting me and my puppy. She did a great job of watching her and keeping me informed. I will definitely have Paige out to watch and care for my little Poppi again!”
“She did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our girls. She cares for other people’s animals like they are her own. It feels good knowing our dogs were well cared for, especially our medically fragile dog.”
“Emily is fantastic! She is very responsive to messages and is a clear communicator. She was very timely and followed directions for care. We received plenty of pictures. It was great to see Grace as at ease and comfortable with Emily while we were gone as she was at the meet and greet! We will definitely be using Emily again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Solway
Absolutely incredible pet sitter! She watched my two cats for 18 days and treated them like royalty. She learned their personalities instantly, sent me daily videos of their progress, and even slept in the same room so they never felt lonely. My shy cat opened up to her, my playful one was obsessed, and honestly… I think they’re a little disappointed I came back because they were living their best lives with her😆 If you want someone who brings pure heart, energy, and dedication, she’s the one. Five stars isn't enough🤩

FAQs for House Sitting - Solway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Solway on Rover is $150 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 695 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Solway. 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 Solway 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 Solway 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 Solway 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
