“Our pups were happy to see Kathryn again, and we so appreciated her friendliness, care, and clear communication — including pup pics while we were away! She’s attentive to their individual needs and is always ready to hear what may have changed with their care since her last visit. We’ll definitely look to Kathryn to stay with the pups in the future!”
“Erika was a wonderful cat and house sitter! Her communication was excellent from the start - she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, so I always knew how my cat Mitten was doing. She was very accommodating and genuinely cared for Mitten, who clearly adores her and was so happy in her care! Seeing Mitten so loved and comfortable while I was away gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet care.”
“Lucinda is super reliable and dependable, and our dog loves her. It’s such a blessing to be able to take a vacation and know that both our home and our sweet little furry baby are in good hands. Everything was neat and tidy when we got home, and our dog was in great spirits. Thank you! 🏡🐕💕”
“Lisa is simply the best there is. She's kind, responsive, clean, and most importantly has the ability to connect with even cranky old geriatric cats. Our cat loves her. I think she is mildly disappointed when we come home. I could not recommend Lisa highly enough!”
“Adriana just sat for 4 nights at my house with my two dogs, one of whom is elderly and special needs. He has mobility issues and incontinence, and Adriana didn’t flinch at cleaning up after him. She sent lots of updates and I felt a lot more comfortable with her than I usually do with a first-time sitter! She really seems to appreciate my dogs, who can be a LOT, but she doted on them with patience and compassion, and kept me updated when my older dog had a concerning issue. I will def use her again and I recommend her as a caring and conscientious sitter!”
“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”
“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“Donita house-sitted for us and took wonderful care of our 2 doggies. She communicated with us throughout the 2 weeks we were travelling just to let us know things were going smoothly. We are very happy with Donita and recommend her.”
“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!”
“Lynden was wonderful and my pets were very happy when I got home. I especially appreciated that she took Kirby for a run… Kirby loves to run, and I am sure Lynden was faster than me. Definitely will have her back!”
“Justine-Elise took care of my pup, Indy, while I was overseas for 5 days and did a great job! Excellent communication, lots of cute photos, and she took him on some wonderful adventures. He clearly had a great time.”
“This was our second time having Libby stay with our two dogs and a cat, and she was great again. She’s really communicative and sends photos and text updates every day, which we appreciate. She also texts back quickly if we have any questions. She left our house clean and tidy. We’d definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter.”
“I'm so happy to found Sara. Both my germen shepherds were so relaxed around her. On their first visit with her my GS, Weston laid right on her (he's a lap dog) as if he'd known her forever. Also she didn't seem to mind the large dog trying to lay in her lap. Lol it was so nice to know my dogs and house were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely book her when our four legged babies need a sitter.”
“Heather was very prompt when we asked her to be there quite early so we could make our flight. She took notes and was very attentive when we gave her instructions on our pets needs and schedules. She asked great questions and learned all their names. We have 6 cats, 2 big dogs and 8 chickens. We did not worry once while we were gone. Heather provided text and pictures several times a day to let us know everything was great. The animals were happy and healthy when we got and the house was in good shape too! We will definitely be using Heather again.”
“Beth was amazing! We have an older dog and a new rescue dog that we had never left before. Beth was responsive and understanding. Our dogs were well taken care of and I was totally at ease on my vacation. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Meagan was great! We had regular updates and lots of pictures of a well cared for pup. Communication was consistent and would be happy to have her come again and recommend her to others!”
“Cora was great! Super quick to respond and easily adaptable to my pets needs when i needed him to take medications. Also sent me pictures of him that reassured me he was being loved and taken care of!”
“Daisy was very professional during our first meeting and onward. Our black lab, Kai, immediately decided she was his friend and she was so natural with him. I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of our pup. Definitely will be booking her again when we go in our next trip!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Slope
Tatiana was incredibly responsive and provided regular updates of our puppy and cat. She also was able to help administer oral meds to our fussy cat and manage our high-energy puppy while leaving our house in a cleaner state than we left it. We’d definitely rebook with her.
Sara is fantastic! Felt super comfortable with her staying at our home and caring for our somewhat high-maintenance dog. She spent a lot of dedicated time with him which we really appreciated as it make him less anxious with our absence. She also left no trace - our house looks exactly like it did when we left. Grateful for Sara’s services and already hoping to hire her for our next trip!
Adrianna took wonderful care of our two dogs, Wrigley and Darby, over the Fourth of July while staying in our home. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We came home to two content pups and a well-looked-after house. We highly recommend Adrianna and would absolutely trust her to care for Wrigley and Darby again!
Lisa was an amazing sitter for our Frank and Sugar. She was such a good communicator and provided regular updates and photos and put my mind at ease. She took amazing care of the house as well, which as a homeowner, I I really appreciated. Just to have the peace of mind of both the fur babies and the home being cared for in a loving way I highly highly recommend Lisa.
Alex was great! She took excellent care of both our cat and dog (and made sure our chickens had water). It was clear from the updates and photos that our pets were well cared for and loved. Our dog was glued to her for snuggles and assurance while we were gone and she even won over our introverted cat. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive sitter!
Tasha was perhaps the best sitter we have ever had for Onion. She helped him attend our wedding and was so attentive and detailed and caring… it was genuinely unbelievable. If it weren’t for her, the day would have been so much more difficult, and she allowed us to include my best bud into the ceremony seemlessly. 100% recommend, Tasha is the absolute best!!!
Stephanie and Alex are true pros. We just finished a week-long house sitting with them. They were responsive from the very start. Daily updates and photos. House looked great. Two dogs and cat were happy and relaxed when we got home. Reliable and clearly experienced with animals. We would absolutely book them again and would have no hesitation recommending them.
I could not be more grateful for Erika. This is the second time we’ve had her watch out pups and she’s so attentive to our pups. We have one pup who has epilepsy and Erika has been really watchful. She communicates regularly with us, checks in on behaviors she’s noticing and takes great care of our home. We plan to continue working with her!
Maria was great. She sent lots of pictures and shared stories of our cats. She left the house spotless. We really appreciated coming home to a clean house. We appreciated her thoughtfulness while we were on vacation. We came home to happy cats. We highly recommend Maria!
Michelle was wonderful with our dog and cat while we were gone for 5 nights! It was so nice to get check-in messages and photos and know that our babies were getting great care while we weren’t able to be there. Our house was left spotless and we couldn’t be more appreciative!
If I could give Michelle ten stars I would! She helped us out when we were in a bind and was very flexible. She was great with our dog and two cats and provided updates regularly. I could tell our dog was genuinely happy to have her around. And she left our house spotless. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Slope
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Slope on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,569 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Slope. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Slope. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
