“Kathryn provides great care for our dog, thoughtful and timely communication, and attention to details so that we can enjoy our time away from home and know that all is well.”
“This was the second time Erika cared for my cat, Roxy, and she did a wonderful job. As always, she was attentive, reliable, and thoughtful in her care. She followed instructions to a tee and spent quality time playing with Roxy and working on her puzzles. I especially appreciated her detailed updates and the many fun photos she shared, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she truly understands Roxy’s personality and routines. I returned to a relaxed, happy cat and a home that was clean and well cared for. She also took extra steps preparing my home for my return, which was a thoughtful touch. I would happily trust her to care for Roxy again and confidently recommend her to others.”
“Lucinda and Frankie (my cat) seriously bonded. I don’t think Frankie even missed me. She is happy and relaxed. I could definitely tell that Lucinda is one of us - a cat person.”
“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!”
“I can highly recommend Adriana. Our recently adopted bernedoodle takes time to warm up to strangers and Adriana was patient and flexible making the time to really get to know Otis ahead of a trip we had planned. She spent a long weekend at our home and gave Otis her time and full attention, she spoiled him with lots of snuggles, taught him new games and helped him work on his manners. We had a full daily update and lots of photos which was reassuring and made our time away more enjoyable. We came back to an immaculately clean house. Adriana had laundered her bedding and towels which was not requested or expected but most appreciated. We will definitely be staying in touch with Adriana and asking her to help with all our pet sitting needs.”
“Alyssa took great care of our two poodles and chickens and was an excellent communicator. We were able to enjoy our vacation worry-free and came home to two very happy dogs, happy chickens and a house that was just as we left it.”
“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!”
“Libby did such a great job with our anxious dog Bailey! She sent us pictures every day and was super communicative throughout our trip. She even unloaded the dishwasher and took the trash out before we got back! I would highly recommend Libby.”
“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.”
“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”
“Jacques is sweet, but can be a challenge. Cheryl made me feel like I could enjoy my time while I was gone and I knew he was in exceptional hands. I knew she cared genuinely to always do what was best for him, and I know he loved every minute of that attention he got from her.”
“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.”
“Can’t say enough good things about Sara. Came home from vacation to a clean apartment and happy doggy. I’ve had dog sitters in the past who are constantly texting us asking questions which frankly stressed me out a bit. Sara was great about sending us daily updates and getting back to us quickly, but then leaving us be so we could enjoy our trip. Just an all around low maintenance house guest and great dog sitter. Thank you Sara!”
“Excellent communication and gave great care to our dog. Watched after our home and went above and beyond to care for both the house and our pet! 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!”
“Beth has cared for my pack twice and I hope will continue to do so in the future. I have 4 dogs and she has handled all of their different personalities with patience and care. My 14 year old Gracie sometimes needs hand feeding, and Beth managed that without a problem. I trust her completely.”
“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!”
“Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.”
“Jennifer was the best! She was super attentive, responsive and Bentley seemed to love her! She took care of our space, sent lots of pictures and kept my dog comfortable during the 4th of July fireworks and was even responsive to my really lengthy instructions (lol). She didn’t miss a beat! Bentley loved meeting Jennifer and we would totally love to book her again for any other stays. Thank you so much for everything!”

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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
