“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
“Ken watched my pups for a week while I was away. He was amazing. He kept me informed daily of their activities. He sent pics. He definitely made me able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing that the pups are in good hands! Definitely will be calling Ken again.”
“Taje was so amazing caring for our three dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and communicated as much or as little as we wanted every day. We had special circumstances where one dog had to be consistently separated from another, and she handled that special situation with professionalism and expertise. Our house was cleaner than we left it (amazing considering how much our dog sheds!), and we had not one worry while we were away. We plan to use Taje again anytime we leave our house in the future!!”
“Jessica was a terrific pet and house sitter!! She was very attentive to our dogs' needs and went the extra mile to accommodate our schedule. She came early, stayed late and left the house in perfect condition. The fact that her day job involves working remotely was an added bonus. Our pups were well cared for, happy and healthy. We will definitely be using Jessica again.”
“Keara was amazing! I will definitely be using her again. Our dogs and cat were treated like family. She kept us updated and got plenty of videos and photos. You can tell she really loves animals and is passionate about her job. Anyone using her is in good hands!”
“Lauren was great! Took great care of our big, energetic dog and our cat! She kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jina was an amazing house-sitter for our dog! She gave us daily detailed updates and pictures. Our dog loved her and we felt very comfortable on our trip knowing Jina was watching him. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful. She handled my two large rambunctious dogs like a pro and I got lots of pics while I was away, which were so comforting knowing they were in great hands. She even administered meds when one of them unexpectedly got an ear infection. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again when I need to travel again.”
“Don was a wonderful pet sitter. He took such great care of my cats. Even my scaredy-cat loved him and even slept with him. That home was as clean as when I left it too. I will definitely book Don again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Jenny provided! She was responsible, attentive, and truly empathetic with our two dogs, making them feel safe and loved while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We especially appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and how responsive she was throughout the stay. She even went out of her way to ship something we had forgotten at home—above and beyond in every way. Highly recommend!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with our two pups. We have one who is a bit anxious and fearful around new people, especially men, and Jeffrey quickly won him over! He was available for a meet and greet and gave tons of updates and photos to put our minds at ease. He is fantastic!!”
About: Hello! My name is Shanice and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been taking care of animals specifically dogs ever since I was young. I have a dog of my own that I had ever since he was a puppy and he is 11 years old now so we basically grew up together. Not only I take care of a dog at home I also work with dogs on a daily basis. I work at a dog daycare facility so I feed, monitor, and train. I also work at a vet hospital where I help with the sick animals so you can see that animals are my life. If you have me looking after your fur babies I can guarantee that they are in the best hands. I am available for boarding on Sundays from 2pm to 5am. Wednesday from 2pm to anytime you want. I am also available on Thursdays openly. First I will make sure that they are well fed and well hydrated especially during the summer and have some quality playtime. If you allow me to bathe your pet I will to make sure they are all clean and comfortable.
“Ben was wonderful from his visit before his stay here through the entire time he cared for our dogs, cats and fish. He shared detailed updates and beautiful pictures, cared thoughtfully for our pets and asked questions when he had them. We can tell from all of our regular conversations via Rover that he truly cares for our pets as he would his own. Ben’s communication and care allows us to truly relax while we were away.”
“Latisha is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services. She is so easy to communicate with, asks all the right questions, and leaves no stone unturned in ensuring she is prepared for her caretaking role. A true professional. She had the challenge of navigating handoffs of my dog with neighbor friends, which was seamless. My dog, Parker, clearly trusted Latisha and felt safe and supported in her care over Thanksgiving week. And my house was pristine when I came home. On behalf of Parker and myself, thank you, Latisha!”
“Danny did a great job caring for my little pack. He has a kind and calm demeanor and was especially patient with my special needs cat. My dogs loved him and I know he gave them lots of love and attention while I was away.”
“Anna stayed with our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and kept us updated. We arrived to home to happy, healthy dogs and absolutely zero issues. We will definitely book with Anna again!”
“If Manju is available, book her! She was our house sitter and pet sitter for 17 days and we could not have been happier. She sent pictures and videos of our pets everyday and gave updates daily. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and is excited to spend time with them. I am already looking for ways to book her again!”

“We are so grateful to Brooke for the amazing care she gave our dog, Sasha! This was the first time we had ever left Sasha, and we were naturally a bit nervous, but Brooke was truly wonderful. She made sure Sasha got plenty of walks, playtime, and snuggles, and even handled a surprise power outage without missing a beat. Brooke kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Sasha was clearly in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to call on Brooke again. Highly recommend!”

Jessica is very responsive and was in tune with my dogs' moods. She stayed overnight with them and didn't leave them during heavy storms when my dogs anxieties were very high. She followed instructions for medication, left my house clean and helped me to feel comfortable her care. I will be using Jessica again.
This was our first time leaving our anxious puppy with a housesitter. Shannon was wonderful! She is so in tune to all things 'dog' and truly put our minds at ease. She was meticulous with his care and schedule, and so warm and affectionate. And our house was perfect. We highly recommend Shannon and can't wait to have her here again!
Mia was fantastic! She was very responsive and was great about sending pictures and updates. Our little dog can be very anxious and needy when we are away, but Mia gave him plenty of love and attention and was patient with him despite his quirks. Would definitely book her again!
Michele is wonderful!! My dogs immediately felt comfortable with her and you could tell that she truly likes being around animals. She stayed at my house for several days and her communication was exceptional ! My older dog has diabetes and needs insulin shots twice a day. Michele was excellent at administering the shots which gave me an incredible peace of mind. I will absolutely use Michele again and feel very fortunate to have found her !!!
We rebook Jony anytime we can…his care for our animals (dog, cat, chinchilla, and fish) and communication to us is exceptional. We recently adopted a new cat and his expertise helped us learn a few new things. We have booked him for staying at our home as well as daily drop-ins. Would highly recommend Jony.
Ivan took such great care of my dogs while I was out of town, and I truly felt at ease knowing they were with him! From the start, he was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs. He made the effort to understand their routines and personalities, which meant a lot to me. While I was away, he kept me updated with pictures and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated with patience and kindness. It’s not easy to leave your dogs behind, but Ivan made the whole experience stress-free. I’m really grateful for the care he gave them! Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Mary. She stayed at our home while caring for our dog and my son’s cat, and she took exceptional care of both of them. From the start, Mary was friendly, engaging, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She clearly loves animals, and it showed in every interaction. Mary kept us completely at ease by sending pictures and regular updates, which meant so much to us while we were away. Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her, and our home was well cared for as well. It is such a relief to find someone you can fully trust, and Mary is exactly that person. I would 100 percent recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We will absolutely be using Mary again. If you need a pet sitter, look no further. Mary is truly the best.

FAQs for House Sitting - Travilah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Travilah on Rover is $45.34 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 10,584 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Travilah. 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 Travilah 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 Travilah 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 Travilah 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.
