“Erika provided incredible care as she watched our two pups for several nights. We appreciate the great communication and ample pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Our doggo was well cared for. We were able to see the care put in by Lucinda and grateful for the service she provided while away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was so well looked after. Thank you Lucinda!”
“Bri took care of our 4 pets with ease and care. She was super communicative throughout the stay and was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Juliann was terrific! We never had anyone other than family watch our dogs before and we instantly felt a calming presence from Juliann. Some of our dogs don’t like strangers or each other. They all liked Juliann right away…and she managed to get them to like or tolerate each other. We will definitely use her again.”
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
“Jennifer and Zeke did an amazing job watching our two dogs and our house for a week! We got lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs were well taken care of while we were away.”
“Emma, Has a very calm demeanor and made me feel at ease. I’m very protective of my pup and after talking with her I felt safe for her to watch Finley. She’s very respectful and a sweet lady that seems to have a genuine passion for animals. I could tell Finley likes her. I told her she’s welcome to come by anytime to see Fin. I will have watch Fin in the future as long as she’s willing and available. Thank you Emma!!”
“Dani was great and just what we were looking for! She honored all of her commitments re: updates on the pups and when she needed to come and go. We would def book her again!”
“Tasha did a fabulous job of caring for our two kitties (one of who became more shy and timid after we left for our trip). She also cared for our backyard birds and kept the feeders full (including the hummingbird feeders). She sent us pictures and fun updates about how everything was going. The house was great upon our return. We highly recommend her pet/home care services!”
“Kelsea did an amazing job with our anxious pup. She was so attentive, patient and communicative, and we felt so much peace of mind during our two week vacation. She is amazing!”
“Kendall was an incredibly good and thoughtful caregiver to our dogs. Our lab is 13.5 years and is entering an anxiety phase when we are away and Kendall was just what we needed to be able to travel without feeling like we were abandoning him. We were in a pinch last minute to find someone because our usual dog/house sitter was away. She exceeded expectations and left our house better than she found it. A truly positive experience!”
“Tara did an amazing job with our critters while we were away and out of state. The apartment was basically spotless and the pets seemed to be very comfortable and relaxed. We are definitely going to book again with Tara for any travel needs we have”
“Alyssa took great care of Leia and our home! She kept in touch regularly and sent photos of Leia throughout the day. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Brianna was great with my puppers. From the beginning it was clear she’s a genuine animal lover which put me at ease for our trip. She gave detailed updates and it helped me feel reassured that my girls were in great hands!”
“Our dog Harley is leash reactive, so we always think about that before getting a dog sitter for her. We’ve booked Chardonay multiple times, and we feel so comfortable leaving our dog Harley with her!”
About: I had a fully booked pet and home sitting business from 2014-2016. I'm experienced with dogs, cats, chickens, and small caged animals, as well as elderly pet care. Medications? No problem! Special needs? Happy to accommodate your pet. Need plant care? I'm a green thumb plant lover too. I work remotely so as long as you have stable wifi, I am able to be present with your pet all day. Occasionally I may leave for errands but mostly I will be there caring for your pet and working on my laptop. I prefer to come to your home, as there is an elderly chihuahua at my home who needs her space. I have stellar references from repeat clients who have been happy to return to a tidy home and a happy pet.
“Heather was fabulous! She stayed at our house with our 4 month old, high energy puppy - and I know he kept her busy! She spent a lot of time taking him on walks, playing with him and redirecting his wild puppy behavior. She was very communicative with lots of sweet updates, and took the time to come meet Ralph and spend time with him before her stay. Our house was left in perfect shape, and our pup is happy and tired. We’ll definitely be asking her back!”

Deirdre stayed in our home for 2 nights, 3 days with our 2 dogs. We presented quite a challenge to her as our 2 four year old Schnauzer littermates had never been without us overnight! Deirdre handled the situation with poise and skill. We needed someone we could trust that would spend quality time with Bodhi and Lilli while keeping them happy and safe. Deirdre and the pups handled our absence beautifully. Thank you again, Deirdre! Mike & Colleen
Kendall was an incredibly good and thoughtful caregiver to our dogs.

This is our second time booking with Sara (the first visit was for an afternoon/evening). This time, she stayed with our two pups while we were in Italy for two weeks and she took excellent care of them and our home! The boys have very different personalities - one is a love and attention hog and the other takes his time warming up - and she catered to both of their needs. She dealt with a couple of early morning wakeups and an unexpected tummy issue like a champ. She was super sweet and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip, which was great since we missed them so much! We all look forward to booking with Sara again soon. :-)
Jami came through for us when we had planned a trip to be gone for one month. Our previously booked dog sitter decided to make a change in the family business and was unable to fulfill the commitment at last minute. She was able to step in and take care of our home and show love to our Charlie Dog as she cared for him. Charlie loves to go on walks and Jami sent photo's and kept us up to date. Thank you Jami.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Slope is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 West Slope 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 West Slope 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 West Slope 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
