About: With over a decade of pet care experience, I've developed a deep understanding of our furry friends' needs and quirks. From energetic pups to senior dogs needing a gentle touch and playful cats, I can handle them all with care and affection. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet under my care. Trust me to provide your beloved companions with the love and attention they deserve! I am home for the summer to prepare for the start of my upcoming graduate school program, so I am extremely flexible in my schedule. I am available during the workday, evenings, and weekends! In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for pets. This includes providing regular feeding schedules tailored to their dietary needs, ensuring access to fresh water at all times, and maintaining a clean living space. I engage pets in enriching activities such as playtime, walks, and interactive toys to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Additionally, I adhere to any specific care instructions provided by pet owners, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. Above all, I approach pet care with love, patience, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of each animal in my care.

“Caelyn was great! We did a last minute booking and she took great care of our pups. She watched all 3 at the same time and she did great communicating with us. Strongly recommend to book her!”

About: Available for initial meet up - to ensure a good match. I've had many pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, frogs, rabbits, an injured horned owl, raccoons, and fish! I currently share my apartment with one special cat - a rescue cat named Mogwai. I've had both inside and outside dogs. I have trained several of my dogs (small breeds) so I have a fair amount of knowledge. I'm a 36 year old working from home as a retirement financial investment manager during the day. I have a lot of flexibility to be able to also take care of your pet! I think Rover is a great way to meet some cool pups and cats and help people with the many responsibilities of pet ownership. I look forward to meeting you and your pet/pets! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. I have ample flexibility to care for your fur baby. I’m an active person who like to talk walks and be outside while also loving a good pet cuddle. I ensure it is a good match between me and the animal. Generally speaking, let’s usually like me. I’d give them plenty of attention and love while also ensuring their basic needs like food, water, relief and exercise are met.

About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years, but it is my favorite side job! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and have been trusted to stay in homes to take care of people’s beloved family members, and their home. I’m currently an elementary school teacher at Wolffarth Elementary in North Lubbock. Depending on what area I am in, I will usually leave with enough time to get to work by 7am. I cannot leave for lunch as I sadly only have 30 minutes, but I am done by 4 every day. This makes it easy to spend the evening with them and I won’t have different hours every day - routine is great for pets! I also share holidays with students so I am pretty available for sitting jobs at those times. While my apartment is a 1 bedroom, it is cozy and great for lower energy dogs. I have plenty of space for them to lay out and they stay in the air conditioning all day. For more active pets, I live right next to a middle school with a paved track for walking, and I am close to a park for dogs who love to run and play fetch!
“Shayla is probably one of the best sitters we’ve had in a long time. Attentive, communicative, respectful and caring! Samson and Dotty were truly spoiled with her here and I know they were very happy with all the attention from their new friend!”
About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many pet dogs in my life. One whom was born sick; she had a sever type of mange and i had to give medication daily and bathe frequently. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with his hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! Need someone to have a companion the whole time you’re gone ? I got it, i’m always home! I am a full time momma trying to make a little extra cash to help my husband. Before staying home, I was in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist but left that behind to stay home with my newborn baby! Your pup will have two companions. I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.
About: I love Rover! I mean, what better job exists than to get paid to spend time with other people's animals? My name is Dan, and I have been around animals my whole life. Currently I am a cat dad of three girls, but I am also comfortable and familiar with most dogs, rabbits, and other animals as well. Probably the only animals I would not be comfortable with are mice and rats. To each their own, of course. I love to spend time with new animals. Depending of course on how friendly yours are, I like to do more than just feed them and walk them. If your cats or dogs like to play, then I am the person you want. I have my own three cats who take up all my time when I'm not out taking care of other people's animals, or otherwise working. I do this and other gig jobs, so my schedule is pretty flexible. The only time I'm usually not available is if I have already made prior commitments. I treat animals like they are children, because to me, they are. My own three are my favorite people in this world, but I love animals in general. I especially enjoy cats, friendly dogs, and giant rabbits. 😃 I like to treat each cat, dog, rabbit, etc, as the unique personality they are. Some cats, for example, are a little more standoffish than others. The best thing to do with them is to not push them. Nobody cat or human likes someone standing in front of them demanding attention ! Some dogs, for example, are very laid back and really just want to lay next to you and snuggle. Others are always ready to play! I am knowledgeable about safety, and when I am doing a drop in visit, I always keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look right. When I am dog walking, I like to go places that are not so busy with traffic, I keep my attention fully on them, and on everything going on around us. When I am with your animals, they are my first and only priority. I do not mix animals from different families. It's stressful enough that they are around a new person.
“Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!”

About: I like going the extra mile to make a relationship with the dogs! I like to give lots of love and attention to the dogs with all the time I can do! I am in school and that is my only obligation! I have all the time in the world to take care of all the cute pups! I care for the pets in the clients home by making sure their water is full and they are fed, toys are within reach, no messes are being made (if so i’ll clean them) and make sure there’s nothing bad for them to get into when no one is there!
“Savannah was great with our girls while we are out of town! They were a little disappointed for us to come home I think ? Definitely recommended! She kept in touch with us through our trip and I was at ease knowing she was with them!”

About: I have gown up my whole life with pets. I have had dogs, cats, horses, and many other kinds of pets. I have always loved and excelled at caring for mine and my families pets. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, as well as puppies and kittens. Animals are a passion of mine and I am excited to help care for yours! I am a college student with a class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9am-10am, as well as class on Tuesday's and Thursdays from 2-5pm Aside from my classes my schedule is very open! When taking care of pets I always make sure to follow their schedule exactly in order to keep things normal for the pets I make sure to give the pets plenty if attention depending on their preferences. I always ensure the pets get a good amount of exercise and play time also depending on preferences.
About: I've had many dogs ranging from senior to puppy and love them all with their different quirks. All animals require something different and am willing to jump in to whatever they need! I am currently a freshman at TTU in the Pre-veterinary track. Outside of my set class schedule I am free to whenever you need me! I love walking dogs and playing with them. Whatever you ask such as crating I am more than willing to take care of. I do not mind I will listen to what your pet needs and make it happen.
“Taylor came and stayed with our babies for the weekend, I’m so appreciate that she actually stayed with them for the majority of the time as they are Velcro dogs and love to cuddle up with people. You couldn’t tell she was in our home, she left it neat and tidy even though we told her to make herself at home and to help herself to whatever she needs. We will definitely use Taylor again!!!”


About: I have owned a pet for 16 years so I have a very good knowledge of animal care. I have two personal dog and many family pets! I’d love to watch your fur buddy! I am currently doing online schooling with no other job, therefore I am available at all times of the day. I am in college and have lots of free time due to having a light load! I can take your pets out as often as needed! I love giving furry friends treats and lots of play time! I have one puppy who eats at 8am and 8pm and goes out around every hour!
About: I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family who make our lives infinitely brighter. When your dog is with me, they’ll be loved, pampered, and cared for as if they were my very own! I have extensive experience watching dogs for friends and family across all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need consistent routine to sweet senior dogs who require gentle care and extra patience. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all shapes and sizes—whether it's a tiny Chihuahua, a cheeky Scottish Terrier, a playful Boxer, or managing a pack of up to 5 large dogs at once! Feeding quirks, medication routines, or unique habits? Nothing is too strange— I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs to keep them comfortable and happy. Plus, with my super flexible schedule, I’m readily available for daily walks, quick check-ins, or mid-day play sessions whenever your busy calendar demands. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life as an active remote worker. I start every morning with an early workout and love staying active throughout the day, which means your dog gets guaranteed, high-quality outdoor time before the summer heat sets in! Because I work from home, my schedule is extremely flexible. Whether your dog needs a mid-day bathroom break, an afternoon walk to help me hit my step goal, or just a quiet companion by my desk while I work, I’m around to give them the continuous care and attention they need. When staying in or visiting your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s familiar routine so they feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. I will follow your exact instructions for feeding, medication, walk schedules, and bedtime routines down to the detail. Whether your pet loves high-energy fetch sessions, long neighborhood walks, or just snuggling on the couch, I give them my undivided attention. I double-check all doors, gates, and ensure all household hazards are out of reach, and keep emergency vet details on hand at all times. You’ll get detailed daily check-ins with clear photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I treat your home with the utmost care and respect—keeping areas tidy, taking care of mail/plants if needed, and leaving your house just as clean as I found it.
About: I've taken care of dogs for many years in all sizes from toy to extra large. I also work with birds, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have veterinary assistant experience and love all furr babies with all my heart! I'm available on weekends and most evenings to care for your sweet babies. I do have a full time job that keeps me away from home during the week. I have a large fenced yard or can crate your baby if needed. I follow instructions to the letter if I visit your home to care for your baby.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and some of my most valuable pet care experience came from helping care for my childhood dog as he got older. He had diabetes, arthritis, was blind and deaf, and required daily medication and extra attention. Through that experience, I learned how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are when caring for animals. It taught me how to recognize a pet’s needs and provide thoughtful, dependable care. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for dog walks. Whether your dog needs a morning, midday, or evening walk, I’m happy to work with their routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I’m also responsive and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I focus on creating a safe, trustworthy environment by staying attentive, following routines, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I always prioritize safety, pay attention to each dog’s needs, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for during every walk.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 236 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Acuff. 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 Acuff 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 Acuff 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 Acuff 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 Acuff. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
