About: I have taken care of fur babies for over 18 years. I care for senior and puppies alike. I truly enjoy the presence of animals. I work from home so my full attention will be for your furry family members. Playtime and quiet time will be essential for their care. I will provide a structured agenda that includes playtime, mental stimulation and quiet time. I also can provide any treats and medication to your fur baby.
“Christina did a fabulous job watching over a very busy and very mouthy GSD puppy. She also looked after our older cat, administering insulin injections to keep his blood sugar under control. Thank you, Christina!”
“She stayed in touch with many pics. Our 3 dogs are in great spirits. She even washed the bedding from our spare room. The one she used while dog sitting. We will try to use her again, granted schedules match.”
“Ashley was absolutely fantastic! She treated our dogs like they were her own and watched over our house while we were on vacation. We will absolutely have Ashley watch our dogs again!”
“Mandi house sit while taking care of our 2 Boston Terriers. She was very respectful of the house and left it cleaner than when she arrived. One of our dogs can be fairly high maintenance and Mandi was able to adjust quickly and the dogs were very comfortable. We would definitely hire Mandi again.”
“Victoria was attentive, asked questions about care of our two dogs, took detailed notes to be sure she had the information on hand to care for and handle any issues that might come up while sitting with our dogs. She kept a clean house and documented the each day, (care, walks, meals, and activities), with some pictures and notes to keep us informed. We will call on her again for our dog sitting needs.”
“Anthony was great with our two dogs. He was gentle with both dogs and we were so impressed with his calmness and the calm that he brought while watching our dogs. Kept us updated and provided us with photos throughout the day. Thanks Anthony.”
“Stephanie goes above and beyond to take care of our pups. Communications is great and send multiple pictures with a detailed report every day. We are extremely happy with her services!”
“Daniel was absolutely amazing with my dog Bruno! He kept me updated with daily photos and messages, and I could tell Bruno was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. Daniel was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals, which left me feeling completely at ease knowing Bruno was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Daniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Kim watched our dog while we traveled internationally for over a week. She took such great care of our dog and followed all instructions! She went above and beyond in the care of our house, and was great with communication. We would definitely use her for future needs and recommend to others.”
“Kari was great!! She took care of our dog, cat and 3 goats. It’s so wonderful to have someone trustworthy look after our pets and home. She sent lots of photos and left out home clean! I will use her again!”
“Jessica has a good personality. She has good communication skills and a good attitude. Maintaining Rocket's routine with eating and being let outside to go to the bathroom was really important to me. Another was that my home was safe and that Rocket did not have any accidents while I was gone. She was on time and stayed until I was back from the airport.”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Christian was great with our pups and took good care of our place while we were on vacation. Our house was spotless when we returned and he went above and beyond in playing with the dogs, they really enjoyed all the fun time he gave them.”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”
“Lily did a wonderful job taking care of my pets while I was out of town. They seemed well loved and I received regular updates and my home was left in perfect condition. I’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Ariana is amazing! We had her house sit for us and the dogs love her! She sent videos of them every day while we were gone, texted me if she would be leaving for more than an hour and left the house super clean. We will be having her back in the future!”
“Isabelle did an amazing job watching our fur baby. I appreciated her communication and attention she gave while we were away. I definitely would recommend her housing sitting your animals, ours was in good hands the entire time.”
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Hill
We had an amazing experience and would absolutely book with Natalie again! This is our second time using her! She took such great care of Thunder, Gus, and Deklen while we were away. Deklen has cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), so I was a little nervous leaving him, but she made me feel completely at ease. All three of them were happy, well cared for, and it was obvious they got lots of love and attention. She also went above and beyond around the house. She washed the sheets before she left, cleaned up, took out the trash, and made sure all of the litter boxes were clean. Walking into a clean house after traveling was such a nice surprise. She communicated well throughout our trip, sent updates, and treated our home and pets like they were her own. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. Thank you so much for everything!
We did 12 stay in home sitting with Amy for my fur baby and she was the best we could ever asked for! We were very hesitant to leave our dog behind but we had no choice Amy was so thoughtful and sweet to our dog she was constantly giving us updates with photos and making my dog very comfortable she would take her to the park and explore together!! highly recommend her for any situation!!!! 🤎
Lindsey was prompt and very receptive to our needs for Bleu. She even accepted monitoring our garden water (just for unexpected leaks in system, didn't happen, Praise God!) and collecting eggs from our chickens- such a blessing! We would definitely utilize her services again.
Ariana continues to be our go-to pet sitter, and I can't recommend her enough. She takes amazing care of our dogs, keeps us updated with messages and photos, and gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We always come home to happy pups and a well-cared-for home. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy, Ariana is absolutely the one to book!
If we could give 10 stars, we would! Ashlee went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She had great communication, sent tons of pictures and took exceptional care of both our pup and home. On top of that, she was more than willing to extend her stay due to travel complications. We will be repeat customers and are so happy we found her!
Ashley and her son took wonderful care of our Golden retriever Milo and Kitty Kerplunk. They kept them active with walks and play time and plenty of cuddles. We loved the picture updates so we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were well taken care of. The house was left clean and fur babies happy. I highly recommend Ashley to watch your furry family.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Hill on Rover is $49.95 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 6,739 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Hill. 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 South Hill 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 South Hill 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 South Hill 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.
