“Paul was amazing with our dogs, Zoe and Lola! Zoe is still a puppy, and he paid close attention to her throughout his stay, giving us complete peace of mind. He kept us updated, took wonderful care of both girls and our home, and made the entire experience stress-free. We would absolutely book Paul again and highly recommend him!”
“Amelia took such great care of our dogs. She sent photos while we were away and was so good with all 3 dogs. She stayed in touch and asked questions when she needed to. She braved the downpour of rain to make sure the dogs went outside. Amelia was awesome and so respectful with our home, and I could tell she took care of our dogs and they enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Amelia to take care of your babies 🥰!”
About: Growing up around dogs and pets my whole life has driven me to want to be a vet. From horseback riding to owning hamsters and fishes, I have always had a close bond with my animals. I love meeting new pets and seeing their unique and loving personalities. I have now been a pet sitter for over 5 years and I can’t wait to continue this passion of mine! I am currently a student at Texas A&M so my schedule is pretty flexible. Just reach out to me and we can make something workout! My number one priority is safety. I always make sure doors are locked, fences are in good condition or leashes/collars are on well. I also make sure to check water bowls multiple times a day. As a pre-ver major, I also often take notice of how the pet is to make sure they are healthy and happy. Lastly, I will make sure your pet gets lots of cuddles and kisses!!
“Kayelee was great! Took care of the dogs and cats during a weekend of thunderstorms. She also diligently tracked the care of the animals and provided updates throughout the week. Would definitely book her again when we go out of town!”
About: I understand that pets don’t only need food and essentials they need love and attention and play time and i will take care of those needs. I am a full time student and i will be making time to pop in and care and love these pets that i am being gifted. In my home i simply shower them with liver and a friend for them to have while taking care of their needs. I see them as family.

About: I grew up in a rural area surrounded by all kinds of animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on your furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.

“Cody was amazing! I will be using her again. She saved the day when my sitter canceled. She sent me many pics and updates and really took good care of my boy even with his special needs and him being so picky”
About: Growing up in a dog-loving family, I've always had a soft spot for these four-legged friends. My own buddy, Riley, is six years old and brings so much joy to my life. This experience and genuine love for dogs make dog sitting a natural and enjoyable choice for me. I am currently a grad student. I am mostly done with my coursework, I just have a few teaching duties left. I am looking for a part-time job to maximize my free time. I take care of pets by giving them personal attention, making sure they get exercise, feeding them properly, and keeping them safe. I show them love and keep an eye on their health, and I'll always keep you informed. Your pets are in good hands with me!
About: I have seven pets of my own, so I’m used to taking care of any type of animal! No animal is a limit for me! I also love taking dogs on long walks! I am willing to spend as much time with pets as possible! They make me so happy and fill me with so much joy!! I usually spend a good majority of the day spending time with my dogs and cats! I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs, but I could put the dogs up or in their kennel if they came to my house, but they’re not scary and love playing with new dogs and making new friends!
About: I have owned and cared from a hamster to a horse. I also have worked with exotic animals ranging from livestock to reptiles. I would be honored to care for your zoo as if they were my own. I work remotely so I am able to be available at various times. I currently am available on a three week rotation and can provide dates for the full year if needed. I wont treat your home like my own. I will treat your home with much more care and respect because it is not my home, It is your home and I'm being trusted to be there with your loved ones while away and I will do so.

The average cost of House Sitting in Benchley is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 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 Benchley 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 Benchley 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 Benchley 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
