“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!!”
“Sarah was phenomenal! This was our first time leaving our dogs for a couple of days & never had a dog sitter before, so we were nervous. But Sarah did an amazing job, kept us updated with all kinds of sweet videos and pictures. Our dogs were definitely spoiled by Sarah and they cannot wait til she comes and sees them again. If you’re looking for someone to look after your babies we could not recommend Sarah more! She is the best!”
“Adara was amazing with our dog and home. She was such a sweetheart. She provided pictures and updates along the way. We would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“First time using rover and I couldn’t be happier that we did it. Even happier that we found Alexa! She is the best. Wrigley loved her! She wasn’t stressed, she was happy as can be and the house looked just like we left it! Thank Alexa! We will be rebooking with you in the near future.”
“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!”
“Kaylee was absolutely amazing, she gave us daily updates as well as pictures of our dog buddy. Our dog took to her immediately on the meet and greet, which made us feel at ease to use her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter, don’t look any further and select her now. Once again Kaylee thank you for watching buddy, we can’t wait to use you again.”

“Wow! Jill is all kinds of fabulous. We have three dogs that require constant snuggles, pets and play! Jill delivered! I never worried about my fur babies the week we were away. She kept us up to date and didn’t mind when my daughter got sick and needed an extra update of her dog. Would and will book her again without hesitation!”
“Jonathan did an excellent job with our dogs. Duke can be a little standoff-ish with new people and Jonathan handled it perfectly. We will definitely use him 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 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 676 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.

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.
