“Rachel was wonderful with our cats and took care of our home while we were away for a week. The cats warmed up to her quickly and remained calm with her. Rachel left our home clean and followed instructions. A situation arose at the house while she was at work. She acted quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our babies. Rachel was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We would highly recommend her!”
“Heather did an excellent job watching my pups! She went above and beyond taking care of them and my house. I just moved into a new home and she even helped clean/unpack some and it was truly appreciated! I would definitely use her again and trust she would do a great job!”
“Genesis took care of my four dogs, in my home, for a week and did a tremendous job! She’s super sweet and very conscientious. I’ll be using her again! Thank you so much, Genesis!! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs at a time growing up as well. I love animals and it would be a pleasure to keep your fur babies safe while you’re away! 🩷 I work mostly part time at a restaurant! My shifts are only 4-5 hour shifts! I work 4 days out of the work week and 1 day on the weekend! I care for the pets by making sure they are fed and taken care of! Potty breaks of course & if any of the pets need any medications.
“Dusty did an amazing job taking care of our girl and watching our home while we were away. She was great about sending daily updates and took care of everything that we asked. We will definitely be reaching out to Dusty again for any future house sitting needs.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, and have always helped care for them! I grew up on a farm in Texas! I plan on attending nursing school (not the same as animals) so I am not afraid to administer any form of medication needed! I am a part-time worker at Walt Disney World, so I can make my schedule however I need too! I am very flexible and willing to work with you! I live in a lovely apartment complex that is very four legged friendly! We have many places to walk the dog, and we even have a dog play area!
About: *I can work with you on prices* I’ve spent over 15 years caring for all kinds of pets who just want a gentle touch so they feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like they would at home. Reliable care, happy pets, and peace of mind for you—that’s my promise. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most days with a flexible schedule that fits your pet’s needs—walks, playtime, meals, and snuggles whenever they need. I’m home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long Cozy home with two friendly dogs—a calm senior and a playful 4-year-old. Secure yard for outdoor fun and plenty of indoor space for relaxing or playing. I’m home full-time with my 3-year-old, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. We are a 5 minute walk to the lake in a gated community so its very safe. We all know each other in the neighborhood. I usually walk down to the water and let the pups get a good picture for Momma & Daddy
“Kali is amazing! Our dogs get so excited to see her, and settle right into her presence as soon as she arrives. She's a great communicator and very punctual. Will continue to book!”
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.

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 Ben Wheeler 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 Ben Wheeler 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 Ben Wheeler 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.

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.
