“Rachel is the best! We just moved to our area and I was so glad that we found her to watch our 2 dogs and cat before our 4th of July trip. Our pets loved her and we will definitely ask her to dog sit again.”
About: I have taken care of 2 dogs in my life. I know the basic’s, example , feeding, walking, and bathing. Wanting to spend my time to help all dog owners find someone they can trust while they are away. I’m working Full time currently but have time mostly in the evenings throughout the whole week. Giving time for your dog and providing love till you are ready to pick them up or drop off I have a fenced yard with neighbors fence near mine. They do have pets as well,Husky's, they are vocal and jumpy but I mostly supervise outside in case anything may happen. My home is near a dog park where they can have more space to roam and get all there energy out.
“Nathan was amazing with my little dog! He kept me updated with messages and adorable pictures, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I’ll definitely book with him again!”
About: Hello! My name is Michael, and animals have been a central passion of mine throughout my life. As someone with autism, people are less my forte, but caring and interacting with animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household where everyone was allergic to dander except me, so I got my animal fix by pet-sitting for friends and neighbors—both dogs and cats. I’m used to housesitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also have some higher education with veterinary assisting, which has come in handy with the animals under my care. I was only able to adopt my cat from a shelter a few years ago, but I am no stranger to all sorts of animals (reptiles, birds, small mammals all included—I have experience with caring for all wide variety of creatures!), all with a wide range of personalities. Every pet is different, and I take care to adapt to each individual’s needs. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I am in the process of applying for disability, during which time I am otherwise available outside of my appointments during the week. Tuesdays are typically my busiest days. I am most available on the weekends, where my days are completely free to devote to your pet(s)! I do not board at my residence, as my cat is an anxious fluffball. However, when it comes to client homes, I like to make sure that your pet’s routine is as familiar as when their pet parent is home. I work to make sure that although their people might be temporarily absent, it is a positive experience and not a devastating waiting period; every animal deserves to be treated with as much attention and care as they need, the more the better. Any particular treats they enjoy, toys, playtime, places to visit on outings, specific times for feedings—all are great information for me to give your pet the experience they deserve.
“Claire did a great job staying with are puppy. Rainey is a 4 month old puppy who is still in training and takes a lot of supervision. Claire was flexible on short notice. She sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely have Claire stay again.”
“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”
About: I have taken care of cats my entire life, but I’ve also taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs on several occasions. I understand how anxious one can get by being away from their fur babies so let me help make the time away from your pets less stressful. I have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I just need two days notice on what all of my duties are going to be. If you want me housesitting as well as pet sitting, I am able to do that if you are wanting to just have me stop in that is perfectly fine as well just let me know exactly what you want me to do and I will get it done.
“Isabel was able to jump in and watch our pets when 2 other sitters canceled within a week of our departure. Keep us informed with notes and photos and did a great job with the house during her stay. Thanks so much for watching our pups!”
“5 stars! Danielle was very responsive and flexible from the first contact all the way through her time with my pups. The dogs warmed up to her instantly, which usually not the case with one. She sent me the best updates. I was so grateful. I knew my babies were in good hands. Will definitely hire Danielle again. 🫶”
About: I had my sweet Sparky for over 17 years and glad to walk my sweet granddog now. I read to my granddog so that’s fun! I would like to give lots of pets, walks, and attention to yours! I recently retired for the second time. Former librarian and kind of the caretaker-type (I even read the book SnugglePuppy to my granddog!) I have time these days and while not wanting to have a full time pet, would like to help you take care of yours! I have a fenced in backyard so can let your dog in/out as needed. Enjoy taking walks-in my neighborhood or let me know if we can walk on the Legacy Park trail as it is close to my house and I take my granddog there when I watch her!
“Sandra was great with my two dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of! I was a little nervous leaving them, but once I met Sandra I knew they would be in great hands. When I returned home, everything was perfect--dogs were happy and everything was cleaner than I left it. ? I highly recommend Sandra and will be using her again in the near future!”
About: Passionate and reliable pet sitter with experience in providing in-home care for any animal! Skilled in maintaining routines, administering medications, and providing ample playtime and exercise. Committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets while you are away! I work part time and have set days off- being every wednesday and friday to care for your pets! Plenty of time to play, go on walks, and whatever else!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Belton
Becca was a fantastic dog sitter for us while we were gone for a week. She stayed at our house for the duration of the trip and took incredible care of our dog. The two of them bonded almost instantly and you can just tell she has a presence about her that is nurturing and caring. Our dog doesn’t sleep with anyone but my husband and me, but she slept with Becca. If that’s not a testimony in itself, I don’t know what else is. We came home to a cleaner home than we left. And she kept in contact with us throughout the trip with updates and photos/videos. If you’re looking for someone to stay with your dog or even to do walks, Becca is an excellent choice. We will be using her exclusively from now on. Thank you Becca!!!
Katelyn gives the best care and attention to your Pablo when we are away! From long walks in the hot hot hottest part of the day…thank you very much! Friendly messages and pictures. She is the best, completely recommend for big dogs, no complaints from us or Pablo!
Stoni was excellent to work with! She house-sit for us and our two giant breed dogs relatively last second, and was both attentive and communicative throughout. We received updates each day and returned to happy pups and a stable home. She administered meds and followed instructions to a tee - she even walked them the morning before we got home, just so they not wound up. We'd strongly encourage others to consider her for this kind of service.
Carsyn stayed overnight in our home and did an amazing job caring for our dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and treated our pups like her own. We came home to happy dogs and a well-kept house. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Belton is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Belton 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 Belton 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 Belton 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.
