“Madison was great with our 3 dogs! We have 2 Bullmastiffs and 1 Yorkie. She had to administer medicine to our smaller dog and had no problem doing so. She kept us updated and sent pics. I would definetly use her again.”
“Kaitlyn. From Max,Angel,and Lil Man we loved having you while mom was gone!! Please come see anytime ❤️ Kaitlyn you were so good with the pups I was grateful to have you in my home! Thank you so much for the great care of my babies. Racina”
“Katherine has been amazing! She is kind and considerate. She has always kept me in the loop while house sitting and taking exceptional care of my 2 fur babies. She spoils them and loves on them like they are her own. I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”
“Olivia did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs and home while I was out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of my dogs. When I returned home, I was amazed see my home had been cleaned and looked better than I left it. I will be using Olivia's services on future travels.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for a couple of years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies as well as senior dogs who may be hard of hearing or losing their sight, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During visits I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I aim to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a fairly new stay at home mom so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your pets! I schedule feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and attention around my baby’s naps and feeding times, so your pets always feel safe, loved, and happy. I plan longer walks or extra play sessions during calm times, making sure both pets and family stay comfortable and cared-for throughout the week. While caring for your pets in your home, I follow the routines and instructions provided by you to ensure consistency and comfort. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, offering playtime or walks, and giving lots of attention and reassurance. I make sure your home remains safe and secure, and I always respect your space and belongings. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable, and loving presence so pets feel happy, safe, and well-cared-for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve loved and been surrounded by animals since I was born! I’ve been volunteering at my grandmother’s no-kill animal shelter since I could walk, and it’s given me the skills and compassion I need to take care of your furry friends! Whether they’re puppies or seniors- I’m here to help! I’m currently studying at Texas A&M University and I just finished up my Freshman year, so my schedule is decently packed. However, I’m here to help you, so let me know if you need me at least two days in advance and we can work out a date that works for both of us! Gig ‘em 👍! I cannot keep your furry friends in my home, as I have two very large dogs that aren’t super fond of strangers! However, I am more than happy to take a trip wherever you need me to keep your pet company while you can’t!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and know how to care for older dogs as well. I also know how to administer medication and such. I would want the best care for my dog. I have a lot of time to care for your fur baby. When the time comes, I have a very flexible schedule and will communicate. I’ve worked at a dog boarding/ day care facility and learned more about dog behavior and body language. I’m a very patient person and want the best care for your fur baby.
About: I started my journey on rover over a year ago. Part of what encouraged me to get into pet sitting was my background. I grew up on farm so my family had a lot of room to foster cats and dogs. There were times we would have 6 dogs staying with us at once, each with their own funny quirks. I fell in love with getting know each of their personalities and taking care of them. Since starting rover I’ve worked with everything: reactive dogs, food aggressive, high energy, senior and disabled. It’s been a great experience getting to know all the dogs. I also have my own sweet puppy named Birdie. She loves interacting with all the clients that come to visit. I’ve had her since she was 2 weeks old and she’s always been a social butterfly. I’ve noticed she helps other dogs staying with us adjust to the environment quicker. She’s very high energy and is guaranteed to wear your pup out. My rates are higher for house sitting and boarding because I accept last minute clients. As for my schedule, I work a full time job and will be gone during normal hours. If your dog requires constant care the rate with go up to $250 a night and I will need at least 2 weeks notice to notify my job. Drop-In’s: For dogs I will not accept bookings that have less than 2 drop-in’s a day scheduled. This is because dogs become stressed when left alone too long and can become destructive. I also want to be able to check on them for health reasons. During the drop-in your dog will go on a walk that equal half the time of the drop-in you have booked (30 min drop-in = 15 minute walk). They will be fed and given water, and the rest of the drop-in will be spent playing inside. Their food bowls will be cleaned and water bowls refreshed. If there are any messes caused by the dog, those will be cleaned up as well. I do offer grooming (I will not do nails or teeth) for $30 extra. Photo’s will be provided at the end of each drop-in. Walks: Dogs will always be walked separately. It will be a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood, and then they will be given water before I leave. I do offer adventure hikes, where I will take your dog to a location of your choosing for a walk. This can include a trail, a public park, a lake, or just to a different neighborhood. There will be an extra charge for any reactivity or excessive pulling, this will come out to about $10 extra.
“Can’t say enough great things about Victoria. From the moment she met our dogs it was clear she cares a lot for dogs of all temperaments and can form an instant connection with them. We deeply appreciated the updates throughout our time away from home. Highly recommend!”

“Sara was wonderful with my 3 dogs. She stayed with them for a few days while I was out of town and did an excellent job caring for them, even though my senior dog was dealing with some health issues. 10/10 highly recommend”
About: I love animals. To add to that, dogs and cats love me and typically come up to me for love and attention. I also talk to them like I would a baby.. that's not weird, right? I work full time 6 days, but typically have 3 consecutive days off, so I can give your pets the attention they need as long as you need it. I can stop by in the evenings on workdays or anytime on my days off. My dog and cats are all indoor pets. They do not step foot outside sadly. They are very delicate to the environment here in Texas. I feed them 3 times a day and they receive fresh water.
“Sarah agreed to watch our sweet pup last minute and did such a great job! She sent pics and updates and responded to all our inquiries promptly! She even complied with giving medications. Our dog came back healthy and happy (and tired from all the excitement)!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Aquilla
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 146 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aquilla. 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 Aquilla 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 Aquilla 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 Aquilla 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.
