About: I am home everyday all day long, have 6 years of fostering experience with a rescue and 16+ years caring for animals. I can take any dog no matter what size! We also have a fenced backyard, so your pup will be safe and happy here! We have 3 dogs (1 is 15, 2 are 5) and they love all dogs and will play and snuggle with their new friend. We have had 27+ fosters meet our dogs and they got along with every single one of them :) We live in Gaffney on 30 acres so small hikes and walks are possible, and we have a fenced yard for routine potty trips. I work from home every day and I have 4 dogs of my own, so your pup will fit in just fine here! We have fostered over 27 dogs over the last 5 years, and our dogs are very well behaved so if yours is very young and needs help potty training, they will learn quickly from my pack! I love the ability to be home everyday in a senior role at work, so I basically do a lot of independent work - which means I can throw the ball in our fenced yard, potty train, snuggle, and ensure your pup has a fantastic time!
About: I have had a jack terrier mix for 6+ months in a shared home experience. So much energetic fun. Home Care for people and pets. Currently I am in-between work so I have plenty of time to fit your pet sitting needs. I am available to accommodate your travel needs. I have a nine year old daughter who loves animals. We will take them out as often as needed. They'll be lots of play time.
About: Hello! My name is Cindy. I'm so delighted to start my pet walking business; opening in March (Let's Walk). It's beyond belief that I'm able to finally display my deep love for dogs with helping busy owners, ensuring every furry family member gets adventure and the care they deserve. I learned so much caring for my beloved Winnie, who I sadly had to let go due to unexpected events that took place in my life many years ago. I understand the joy and responsibility of pet ownership firsthand. I am committed to providing exceptional care, safety, and companionship for your pet family member. My goal is to give you peace of mind, a tired dog and RELIABLE service. I offer a nurturing and stimulating environment for your furry family member's. I recently retired early from teaching preschool children to pursue a career in pet care. I offer flexible, full time availability and am able to provide constant supervision and care for your pet, ensuring they are happy and comfortable. I'm available seven days a week from 6am to 7pm. I will be adding boarding services April 2026. Your pets safety is of most PRIORITY. I will stay alert for cars, people and other dogs; avoid music, use proper equipment (secure harness/collar), stick to safe routes (sidewalks, avoid heavy traffic), manage interactions ( ask permission for greetings) watch for broken glass or hot pavement (using the 5-second rule), carry water, use reflective gear at night, while managing their health and observing their body language.
“Absolutely the best house sitter! She loved on our pups so much and sent a ton of photos and videos! Linda was extremely flexible and helped us out in a tight scheduling issue. Hands down would have her watch our pups again. 100% recommend!”
“Parris was awesome!! He took the time to get to know them ahead of time and made sure our dogs were comfortable with him. He sent a bunch of pictures every day and spent a lot of time playing with them. It was evident they were happy while we were away. We will definitely use him again!!”
“Riley is absolutely amazing and we are so lucky to have found her. We use her often, and every single time she takes such wonderful care of our dog, Mika. It’s clear how much Riley genuinely cares—Mika is always happy, comfortable, and well loved when we return. Her communication is great and she gives us total peace of mind knowing Mika is in the best hands. We couldn’t recommend Riley more highly and will continue to book her every time we need a sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bonham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 385 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bonham. 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 Bonham 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 Bonham 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 Bonham 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.
