About: I've taken care of cats for about 12 years and I'm very good with my friends' dogs. I tend to get along very well with animals and I love taking care of them! I'm currently a student but am fairly flexible when it comes to figuring out times to take care of your pet! Let me know your needs and I will do my best to fulfill them. I am very patient and kind with animals. I'll make sure I'm thorough about discussing your pets' needs with you and will follow your instructions well
“Ariel was wonderful. She sent lots of pictures and kept me informed. I could tell she spent a lot of quality time with Kallie. She also left the house in perfect condition. She did everything I asked her to and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her.”
About: I got my first dog when I was 14, and caring for her taught me what it truly means to love and be responsible for a pet. She was part of my family for many years, and after she passed away a few years ago, I realized how rewarding it is to care for animals. Since then, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they're away. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My background working in healthcare has also made me dependable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, medication, or just some extra attention, I'll treat them like they're my own. I currently work full-time, but I have availability before work, in the evenings, and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits. I do my best to be flexible and will always communicate clearly about my schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll make sure your dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs. I'm attentive to changes in behavior and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.
About: I have a GSD husky myself so I know how to deal with any pets with alot of energy. So whether it's multiple animals or one I'm your guy! Weekends are pretty open and I work 8-5 during the week but I am able to drop by if during that time period on weekdays during my break. I will feed and play with your dogs until they won't play anymore. I will feed them and make sure they feel comfortable with me while I'm with them
About: I’ve owned several dogs over the years, and have helped family and friends with their dogs as well. I adopted a reactive pit bull and trained her, making great progress in her ability to meet new people, animals, and have new experiences, and want to help care for other animals now that she has passed. Happy to work with all kinds of dogs! I work from home so I am available during the day for quick walks and potty breaks, with time for a longer walk at lunchtime. In evenings, I often have theater rehearsals or recreational sports leagues, but am able to come home within a few hours. I am very comfortable in any environment, and I am willing to work in whichever way will make you more comfortable for your pet’s needs.
About: Taken care of family and friends pets for many years, very patient and willing to go the extra mile. No formal experience but been in a pet owning family my whole life. Currently living with my family and have many days free, always available on short notice and willing to do overnights. Have reliable transportation and a desire to meet new furry “customers”. Am very kind and understanding to all pet personalities, love to take walks and play. Informal training is a skill of mine and I love to see pets learn new things.
About: My friends and family have trusted me with their dogs for years, and I grew up with a dog of my own, so I know how to keep pups happy, safe and on their routine. With no pets of my own right now, your dog gets 100% of my attention, plus regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I work fully remote, so I'm home most of the day and can keep your pet right on their normal schedule. I also love being outdoors, so walks are already part of my daily routine. Your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and company, never long hours alone. Safety comes first. My home is smoke-free and quiet, with no children and no other pets, so your dog gets a calm space and my full attention. I don't have a fenced yard, so dogs are always leashed outside, which means no escapes and no unsupervised yard time. I have crates, toys and backup food on hand. In your home, I'll follow your routine, keep doors and gates secure, and send regular updates.
“Olivia did an amazing job watching our dog! She was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of adorable pictures. Our little guy was very well taken care of. We would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet!”
About: Hi, I’m Anisha! I’m a respected and responsible healthcare professional who has dedicated my career to caring for others—and that same compassion extends to pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’m a proud and beloved “doggie auntie” to many pups in my life. From snuggles to walks to playtime, I treat every dog like family. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and loving with your pet, whether it’s keeping up with their daily routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, or giving them extra TLC while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work full-time Tuesday through Friday from 8am–4pm, which means I’m available in the evenings on those days as well as mornings before work. I also have full availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets outside of my work hours. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel secure and cared for just like they would with you. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping their environment tidy and stress-free. My priority is to treat every pet as if they were my own, with a balance of responsibility and lots of love.

“We had a great experience with Lauren! She was very communicative starting from our meet and greet, and throughout the stay. We also got lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated.

“Josh is wonderful! I am a repeat customer and will always contact him if I need a sitter. My dog found himself in a bad way after chasing our squirrels. Josh was able to handle the situation in an expedient and responsible manner. He needed stitches and meds and extra care before I was able to get home. I was very confident in all of his abilities. He really went above and beyond! He communicated all information from the vet and cared for him very lovingly.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Big Springs. 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 Big Springs 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 Big Springs 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 Big Springs 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.
