“This was our second time using Angela and still we’re super super happy. She communicated wonderfully and the dogs were so happy when we got home. We are so thankful for her while we were in San Antonio and did not know anyone. I would trust her to watch my dogs again and again.”

“Rebecca was lovely! She took such good care of our boys during our recent trip. And from the pictures she sent, it was clear they had a great time. Her communication was fantastic, the dogs were super happy, and the house was cleaner than when we left! We will definitely rebook with Rebecca for our future travels.”

About: Hi, I’m Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve had dogs for over 14 years and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines — reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care — whether it’s keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust they’ll be in caring, responsible hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm! Definitely flexible and willing to work with you as long as we can communicate! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to medications — and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.

“Sophia is literally the best! She stayed here at my house for a week while I was on a cruise with my family! She has been working with my dog King to help him with his anxiety. She is so sweet and has brought King little gift and stuff to help with the training process. If you need someone to care for your pets Sophia is your girl. Thank you Sophia for coming today and spending the day with him.”

“Briannah did a great job cat sitting! She sent updates regularly along with pictures of all the babies. She also did amazing with the kittens in quarantine, making sure the space was clean, potty was scooped, and kittens were medicated. Very reliable!”


“Emily is fabulous! She’s stayed in our home with our two pooches on two occasions and has been very professional. They love her and that says so much for us. Please book her. We’re sure you will love her too.”

“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Adkins
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Adkins. 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 Adkins 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 Adkins 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 Adkins 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
