“Heather was absolutely wonderful!! We have a large, high energy dog and had never used anyone at our home to watch her and she exceeded our expectations. Our dog is kennel trained for when we are gone and Heather gave her lots of love and attention and spent a lot of time with her to keep her out of the kennel. She communicated with us every time she stopped by and provided us with updates and pictures. We cannot wait to use her again!”

About: I have a dog of my own, an Australian shepherd named Lady. I have taken care of a few dogs before and I quite enjoy it. I love and enjoy walking dogs. I also enjoy cats as well. I have had a cat for about 16 years. she was my very first pet ever to have. She has been with me since I was a baby. Sadly she passed in August of 2021. I can do the weekends from anytime. I can stop by after 6 o’clock to check up on your furry friends. But normally the weekends is when I’m free. I make sure that the dog or dogs are fed and taken care of course. I follow the owner's details and rules. I am very patient and outgoing and also a very active person.
“Thank you Casey for your awesomeness. Yogi loved your companionship. We both truly appreciate your kindness, happiness, helpfulness and awesomeness. Yogi loves his new friend Casey. We both look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your excellent attention and friendship. 😊⭐️🤗⭐️🐕”

“Jennifer took great care of my dog and 2 cats, my house and plants. My critters were happy and my house was clean and neat. She was also flexible when my plans slightly changed. I highly recommend her.”

“Lauren is truly AMAZING. From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, calm, and patient with our dogs. She took the time to get to know them, understood their little quirks, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. She took them out regularly, kept us updated, and treated them with so much kindness that it felt like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”


About: My connection to animals is deeply personal, and my heart has been completely open to dogs my entire life. While I work professionally as a certified freelance book editor from home, my deepest personal passion is providing a safe, fiercely protective, and loving environment for animals. Over the last fifteen years, I have personally cared for our family pets throughout every stage of their lives—from the boundless energy of puppyhood to the tender, quiet care required during a senior pet’s final weeks. I am intimately familiar with precise feeding schedules, structured neighborhood walks, crate training, and maintaining strict house routines. For several years, I also provided regular weekday pet-sitting care for my sister’s dogs while she traveled for work, ensuring their comfort and stress-free security while she was away, always caring for them as if they were my own. Having recently walked through the profound grief of losing our beloved family dog this spring, I miss the quiet joy and daily companionship that animals bring into a home. As a highly sensitive, intuitive person, I tune into an animal’s unspoken emotional needs and comfort levels instantly. I treat every pet in my care with the exact same high attention to detail, physical safety boundaries, and deep devotion that I would give to my own family. Your pet will have my full, reliable companionship, a calm environment to rest in while I work at my desk, and a caregiver who honors their routine completely. As a full-time freelance book editor, I work entirely from home on a self-paced, flexible schedule. This means your pet's routine becomes the central anchor of my daily workflow. Because I am at my desk for long focus blocks throughout the day, I am physically present to provide reliable companionship, immediate potty breaks, and a highly stable environment. I integrate regular, structured walks and precise feeding times smoothly around my editing windows, ensuring your dog receives consistent attention, care, and stability without long stretches of being left alone. Safety and complete trust are the non-negotiable baselines of my care. When staying at a client's home, I respect their personal property with the utmost professionalism and follow their specific security guidelines to the letter. To minimize stress for your pet, I replicate their established feeding, sleeping, and crating routines exactly as they are used to. During outdoor neighborhood walks, I maintain absolute visual awareness; keep dogs on a secure, short leash at all times; and strictly avoid high-risk environments like public dog parks or interactions with unfamiliar animals. I focus entirely on structured, low-stress care that prioritizes your pet's physical security and emotional peace of mind above all else.
“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! She responded to our last-minute request and made the entire experience go even better than we could have expected. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. She went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate her. We will definitely be booking with Mackenzie again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and wonderful!”

About: I know pets are family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates, photos, and Rover Cards so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m reliable, responsive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication reminders, or extra attention, I’m happy to help! Working remotely allows me to take short breaks throughout the day and take a few minutes to refresh. Having a pup to come with me makes it all the more enjoyable! I have a fenced in yard and a screened in porch, my kitties like to sit there with me to watch the birds and take a quick nap.

“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”

“Lori was amazing with our fur babies! She was incredibly responsive, keeping us updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages, which put our minds at ease. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for under her watch. Lori went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and loved. We’re so grateful for her care and will book her again soon! I highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter to stay at your house.”

About: I’ve had pets ranging from a crazy golden retriever to a lazy cat over the years, and I’m missing quality time with a furry friend! I love long walks and I’m sure your pet does too! If not (like my lazy cat) I’d love to pet sit for you too! I currently work a 9-5 Monday through Friday so I’m available anytime after that, or the weekends I’m available to hang out with you furry friends! I’m absolutely comfortable dog sitting in your home to keep the animals used to their environment! I’ve house/dog sat for up to 2 weeks before so I’m definitely qualified!
“Rachel did great with all of my pets including one very sassy cat that needs medication. She sent lots of updates and photos during her stay. She also was very prompt in responding to any messages I sent. We will definitely use her in the future!”

About: I personally taken care of dogs and cats for the past 11 years and have experience big, small, old and young. I would love to tailor their experience as needed because as a loving pet owner I know each pet needs something different. I am an online college student right now and I am looking to make extra income to help support myself through college. I am very available for any schedule or needs your pet needs! I only offer client home services and I am open to anything the pet needs. Walking, playing or basic grooming are all available with my services. The more instructions the better in my opinion!

About: Needing a pet sitter? Well, you found her! I'm putting my self out there and offering services to the residents of Peaster/Poolville. I have worked 10+ years at a local animal emergency hospital. If your pet needs medications or is a diabetic, you might already know how hard it can be to find a boarding facility (without having to pay for medical boarding). My family and I have lived in Peaster for 13 years now and we love our community. Availability Schedule Monday through Friday, I work from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I am available for lunchtime drop-in visits or walks around 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM, depending on location and scheduling. I am off the majority of weekends, so weekend availability may be more flexible. Please feel free to reach out to confirm availability for weekend visits or special requests. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is for animals to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I take my time getting to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and loves attention or shy and needs a gentle approach, I adjust my care to fit their needs. I also make sure their environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free by checking food and water, cleaning up after them, and keeping their space tidy. With my veterinary field experience, I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, giving medications, and watching for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall health. I will always communicate with you and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is being well cared for while you are away.
About: I have my own two dogs, a lab and a golden retriever who I love to take care of. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, and playtime. I love giving dogs the fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m available for dog walks in the afternoon and evening, and I’m flexible with timing depending on your pup’s needs. Whether it’s a midday break or an evening stroll, I’m happy to help! I have my own dogs, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I make sure mine get plenty of exercise, healthy meals, and lots of love every day.
“For the first time ever we left our 12 year old dog at home while going on vacation and needed someone to stay with him. Melissa knocked it outta the park with our tripawd dog Sammy and treated him like family. In addition to giving him three medications every morning and evening, she cuddled him, played with him, carried him up and down stairs and made him feel loved. Melissa sent photos of Sammy having the time of his life which made it easy to enjoy ourselves on vacation knowing he was well cared for.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aledo
Raelynn was awesome! She spent a lot of time with my dogs and really made sure they were getting lots of attention. It rained one of the days she was here, which meant no play time outside, so she played games with the puppy so that he had the opportunity to wear off some energy and get the mental stimulation he needed. She also sent me daily updates with pictures so that I was able to know how everyone was doing. I would definitely have Raelynn back again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Aledo is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $71 per night.

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 Aledo 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 Aledo 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 Aledo 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aledo. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
