“I was thankful Tracy took such good care of our mastiff. They are special dogs that act differently than others and she did an amazing job. As others said she sent pictures, videos and communicated every day. I will most definitely use her again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Tayler, after our last sitter retired. We highly recommend her, she watched our 3 cats + and house sat while we were out of town for 4 days. Our cats require a lot of attention, special feeding and she handled all their needs without any issues. She was prompt, trustworthy, and kept us updated daily. It gave us total peace of mind while traveling and we couldn’t be happier. She sent photo updates and text check-ins, followed all of our feeding and routine instructions to the letter, and our pets were well taken care when we got home. We already have rebooked for the holidays.”
About: I would love to take care of your babies while you are away. I will talk to them , cuddle them, feed and walk them. I’m am currently retired and looking forward to pet sitting. I have another friend that enjoys this so much, and I think I will like it just as much as she does. I will make sure there is always clean water, feed in the morning and evenings, or as often as you like. I wash the bowls about every other day. I have 3 beds for my chihuahua, one in the living room, bedroom and dining room where my computer sits. She sits in my lap when she wants, she lets me know when she needs to go out and I keep pee pads down for her just in case, and keep the area clean.
“Great communication about our dogs. Loved having someone willing to work/ interact with our bird as well - thanks for that! Dogs definitely miss all of the play time for sure”
“Destini was so great! She took good care of our pups while we were out and stayed in touch with us. No doubt they were a bit trying at times but she handled it like a pro! Definitely recommend!”
“Wow!!! I can honestly say I never thought I could feel so comfortable with a “stranger” in my house and taking care of my dogs. Jen clearly is a professional who knows what she’s doing and LOVES the doggies. From our first meet and greet where she did all the right things introducing our pups and helping me feel comfortable, to coming home to a freshly swept, mopped house where she washed her own sheets, cleaned out our kitty litter, and brushed our dogs multiple times...it was a DREAM! I used to sit myself and I didn’t think I’d ever find someone as attuned to detail as I am. I got multiple video and picture updates daily and she stuck to her word on how long the dogs would be alone, making sure they were always fed and played with while she was home. She is honestly worth every penny and then some. And to top it all off, I feel as though I’ve made a new friend :) BEST DOG/HOUSE SITTER EVER!!!”
“Paula was amazing! She met me for a meet and greet super last minute before I left town the next day. She communicated throughout the day and sent me pic of my doggie and he seemed to enjoy her company! Highly recommend her services!”
About: Hello, I have been raised with and cared for dog almost my entire life. I have had friends and family rely on me for dog care for periods of time. I am currently a PhD student at Texas Tech studying animal science. I also have dog of my own I love and care for. I love to take my dog on walks and play fetch in the evenings and during the day on weekends. I can care for your animal at your home and take care of all needs. I do not keep other pets at my home, but I can take your pet on walks and play outside of owners house.
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years, From puppies to senior dogs I’m experienced in all stages. I can help keep up with puppy training or administer any medicines a fur baby might need. Rover helps me earn extra income while in school. It allows me to be flexible with other work schedules and clients as well. Being flexible with my time makes me appealing as a sitter. I have two dogs of my own with severe anxiety and abandonment issues, I know how to work with dogs of all kinds of social attributes.
“Remington is an all star pet sitter! She expertly watched my 130lb mastiff who is a little shy. But in just a short while they were best buds! He waits for her to arrive in the morning and they have a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to contact her to pet sit for me again, she's awesome!”
“I booked Savanna for a 5 day at home sit with my puppy, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I reached out at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible and made everything work without any stress on my end. My puppy is a high energy handful (5 month old blue heeler) and Savanna took especially good care of him. She followed his routine closely, and even asked about continuing to work on his training while I was away. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, so I always knew how he was doing and could relax while I was gone. Savanna was also respectful of my home and property. If you are looking for a sitter who communicates well, adapts to your needs, and can handle an energetic dog with patience and care, I cant recommend Savanna enough. I'll definitely book with her again!”
“Catherine dog sat for us very last minute and was great!! She came to our house before we left town so we could show her around. She stayed at our house and did everything perfectly with our dogs! She even left work early to check on our dogs. I would highly recommend her and would use her again!”
“Lauren is truly AMAZING. From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, calm, and patient with our dogs. She took the time to get to know them, understood their little quirks, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. She took them out regularly, kept us updated, and treated them with so much kindness that it felt like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“Miranda was wonderful, as always. We had a flight delay and she was patient with our late arrival. Miranda is always so sweet to our pugs and makes us feel so comfortable leaving town.”
“Lindsey was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had. Needed to find someone to stay with our pup because she has a lot of anxiety being alone after losing her dog brother and we were very nervous about leaving her! Lindsey was thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, helpful and communicated with us throughout. Our dog felt comfortable with her within 5 minutes and we could tell from the photos that she felt safe with her. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, medications, and keeping pets on their normal routines. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m working toward making pet care my full-time job, and because I’m currently in online school, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays and can often accommodate different times. On weekends, I’m typically available mornings and some evenings. Whether caring for your pets in my home or yours, I’ll make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I’ll follow their routines, respect your home and instructions, and keep a clean, calm, and secure environment. I want every pet and owner to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in my care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Briaroaks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,855 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Briaroaks. 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 Briaroaks 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 Briaroaks 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 Briaroaks 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.
