“Hannah was absolutely amazing! We left our two pups at home with her for 8 days and never once had to worry!! She is definitely a dog person and played with our puppy and loved on our older dog. I don’t even know if our dogs had a chance to miss us!”
“Sharon was wonderful with my fur babies, they fell in love with her from the get go, her calm spirit was a blessing to know my home and Dogs were in good hands.. will definitely book with Sharon in the future.. Thank you!!”
“Samantha was great, very communicative, and sent lots of great photos! We knew our boys were in good hands and are thankful that Samantha was able to help us out with very short notice to make sure our boys were taken care of. Would definitely recommend!”
“We are very picky with whom we leave our Molly and on who we trust in our house . When we met Ellie we immediately felt very comfortable. She has proven to be excellent! Molly was well taken care of and our house looked nice and clean when we returned! Looking forward to being able to travel without worrying about Molly. 5 stars all the way!”
“I had a great experience with Erin & Matthew as my pet sitters. They took excellent care of both my home and Banco while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, it made it easy to see that Banco was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Everything was handled responsibly and with attention to detail, and I came back to a home that was just as I left it. I’d absolutely trust Erin & Matthew again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters!”
“Justine watched our pups for a week and they were obviously well-cared for and loved. I was relaxed the whole time away knowing that she had them in hand. We had a small hiccup with exactly which food to feed, but it was an easy fix and I look forward to having Justine back as often as she is available. She left the house just as she found it- possibly even better.”
“Peyton was wonderful with Roland. I came home to a happy dog and a tidy home. Peyton exceeded my expectations. She kept me informed with texts and photos. Will certainly book again.”
“Steve and Wanda have been “baby sitting” my animals for a few times now but never as long as this trip we took for more than 30 days. They were awesome and looked after our animals as their own and also lived in our home and looked after everything like we would do ourselves. My neighbours will miss them I think … lol! They are definitely part of our community and I will ask them to look after my animals over and over as long as they can. Thank you Steve and Wanda for the way you leave my home, it is a pleasure returning and everything and everyone is happy and just great. I can recommend Steve and Wanda if you would like peace of mind that your animals will be loved and looked after like yourself. I am so grateful to them, thank you!”
“Ashley was amazing and really helped us out when we were delayed on our trip. She took amazing care of Mags and Butters. The house was clean the pups happy. Would highly recommend Ashley and plan to use her in the future.”
“My dog is very nervous around new people, but CeCe was patient and let him come to her. She provided several updates and many photos during her stay at our house, which made us feel at ease. Our fur baby and house were well cared for, and I would not hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new sitter.”
“Machalah has been a consistent overnight sitter for my pup for several months! He loves spending time with her and I love the peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. She is communicative, sends photos, and has been comfortable talking through his health needs - including giving medications! We look forward to continuing to have Machalah as a pet sitter!”
About: Hey there! My name's Graham and I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to care for your pets! I've grown up with pets my whole life! From many dogs, a cat, a bird, to even a bearded dragon, I've loved helping my family care for our pets! Now, I'm ready to help you continue to take care of yours! I'm currently a Physician Assistant student here in Roanoke and pet sitting is the perfect way to spend some of my free time doing something I love while helping support myself through school! I'm open to any and all commissions and would love to hear from you! I'm currently a Physician Assistant student, so my class schedule varies throughout the week. Because of that, my availability is flexible depending on the day, and I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I should have most weekends free and am available for pet sitting and drop-ins during those times, as well as select weekdays between classes. I'd love to get to know you and come do a friendly pre-client visit to meet you and your pet and hear about clear instructions for their care! I’m open to helping in any way and can accommodate!
“Kristi was an awesome sitter! She was attentive to our shy pup, and both of our dogs were left tired and content after a weekend with her. She spent a ton of time with them and clearly cares about the animals she works with. We definitely plan to book her again in the future!”
“Donna is a very reliable pet sitter. I have used her three times now and been very happy with her services. Our house is always cleaner when we get home than when we left. Also Linde likes Donna so she seems calm when we return from being away.”
“Erin did an excellent job of taking care of my dog and my house. She provided excellent communication before and during the stay. I returned to find a happy dog and my house was tidy as could be.”
About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am an animal lover, pet mom, and full-time teacher. I am looking for some additional income and would love to help take care of your fur baby while you are away on vacation or at work. While I do not have a lot of experience pet sitting, I have had pets my entire life and am currently a pet mom to my cat, Malachi. I am always the one that my friends/family go to if they need a pet sitter or help with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to spend time with and get to know your wonderful pet. I can't wait to hear from you and get to know your special fur baby/babies! I am currently a full time teacher, meaning I am able to care for your animal early mornings and I am off early afternoon so your pet will not have to wait until evening for care! I also have most common break/vacation times (thanksgiving, Christmas, summer, long weekends) off and have a more flexible schedule during those times. I will care for your pet as if it were my own! I make sure your pet is fed and taken care of, but I would also love to spend time with your pet so they are not lonely while you are away.
About: I love all animals! I have been pet-sitting since I was in elementary school. I currently have two tuxedo cats, one of which has to be given medicine twice a day, so I am comfortable with medication administration. I recently graduated from Physician Associate School and I am waiting for the credentialing process to be completed before starting my job! So i have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own while also respecting each client’s home, routines, and instructions. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive any approved medications, get appropriate exercise and potty breaks, and have plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep their environment clean by tidying food areas, cleaning up accidents, and maintaining litter boxes or other pet spaces as needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southern Hills
Sharon was great! She was friendly and our basset, who is usually hesitant when meeting new people, warmed up quickly. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in her care in our home for a week. Sharon communicated consistently, sent photos daily, and left our home clean. We would definitely book her again in the future.
Truly amazing! Professional, kind, friendly and fantastic with our 2 dogs for our 10 day vacation. She kept us updated consistently and appropriately so we didn’t worry about them once. When our flights back kept getting delayed she was very flexible to help us by coming back and letting the dogs out. The house was as clean as and all our flowers in our healing garden were just as vibrant as when we left them. She treated our home and pets like she would her own. We are so grateful to have found Gena so we can feel comfortable to book our next long trip away. She is truly wonderful!
Hannah is great! Right at the outset (actually at the meet-and-greet in advance of our reservation), we could tell she'd be awesome with our two pups! She was very communicative before and during our vacation, checking in along the way with photos and updates. We would love to book with Hannah for house- and dog-sitting in the future!
Amelia was wonderful. She took great care of our dog in our home, kept us updated, and shared pictures throughout the stay. Sam looked happy and content, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Amelia and would gladly book with her again!
I highly recommend Lucy as a dog sitter. She is experienced with senior dogs and can be relied upon to administer injectable and oral medications on schedule. She is very responsive and follows directions well. We arrived home to our very happy and well taken care of spoiled chihuahua.
Jessica was patient and caring while housesitting for our rescue pup, who has lots of anxiety. She minimized stress as much as possible, taking her cues from our dog. We felt relieved and were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Jessica was making sure our pup was safe and cared for.
This was my second time using Rover. It had been almost a year prior. I completely lucked out the first time selecting Erin & Matt, my choice was based on their reviews, and meeting them. I knew this time, they would be my go to and first choice! I have 2 pups and a cat and I was able to leave them in Erin & Matts care with complete peace of mind...that is priceless! I received daily photos, and videos with updates that once again confirmed I made the right choice! This young couple are so professional, and responsible.... they even washed and changed the sheets 🙂 I am so thankful for the positive experience I've had w Rover, and even more thankful for Erin & Matt 🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Southern Hills on Rover is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. 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.

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 Southern Hills 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 Southern Hills 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Southern Hills 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.
