“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”
“Amy was AMAZING! She took great care of our dog and cat (and house) while we were out of the country. Very communicative, sending pictures and fun updates everyday which really helped ease our worries. Very thoughtful, taking our dog for extra walks if she saw the weather was going to be bad the following days. Very caring, making sure they didn't go too long alone without a potty break even on the day we were due back. And very patient, as it takes a little while for our fur babies to warm up to people. We will be keeping fingers crossed she is available for our future needs and would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Alyssa was able to sit for me on two separate occasions in a short period of time and did a great job. Anisa and Cairo got their share of walks and parks trips and were happy to see Alyssa upon arrival.she took care of the house and sent plenty of pictures upon request.”
“He was great with Jaime! She was so excited to have him over with her all week. He helped her calm down and taught her to take it easy. She took to him so well and all the pictures were so cute. We’re going to use him the next time we go out of town.”
“Anna is amazing! We booked her for a long house sitting service and she went above and beyond, making sure our dogs were taken care of, got their medication and kept us updated with pictures and videos of our two dogs and made sure we came home to a clean house. She’s definitely an ideal sitter”
About: hello there, I’ve worked in Animal control for over 5 years now. I started off as a shelter technician and I’m currently a vet technician. I can say I know my way of understanding an animals need/wants. Animals are very precious to me, this is my passion and I love being around all kinds of animals! I’m a full time vet technician working Wednesday-Saturday from 6am-5pm! On my days off I normally go out to find new adventures/activities with my animals, or I make sure I get important things completed. I currently live in a cottage with my own fenced backyard as well as shareable park with my neighbors. I love taking my dogs on walks to socialize with other dogs and people as well as getting exercise.
“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!”
“This was our second time to leave our pups with Nita. The dogs love her! She spoils them with love and her homemade food topper. And our house was super tidy when we got home. It’s a great to feel totally comfortable leaving our pets with her.”
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.
“Hannah sat for our 3 dogs on short notice. So appreciative for her! Super sweet, active with our pups and kept us updated with pics and messages. Will definitely use her again!”
“Cenite took great care of my dog and two cats while we were out of town! We came back to and our house was just as clean as we had left it. She was very patient with our shy dog and got him out for a walk every day. She is very easy to communicate with and accommodates all of our family’s needs! Thank you, Cenite!”
“Sherrie was AMAZING and my dog (Jasper) absolutely loved her. This is the first time I had to use a house/pet sitter and I was so nervous prior to meeting Sherrie. I have only ever left my dog with family members because he is my world and I had no reservations leaving him in Sherrie's care. She came highly recommended by my neighbor and I now know why. She sent me updates multiple times a day and took such great care of my boy. She also left my house immaculately clean! Jasper I and can't wait to have her back soon! I cannot recommend Sherrie and her services enough.”
About: Being a country girl, I have pet sit anything from dogs to indoor pot belly pigs to even donkeys. I've had dogs my entire life (4 of my own currently) and love to make your worry less while away. I love to send pictures and videos so you can see first hand how much love they are receiving when you are away. If you have animals besides cats and dogs, I would love to help with them as well. I pet sit full time so I can almost always move my schedule around to accommodate except the time line that I need to get in the school line for my kids. I only pet sit in your home as I have 5 very spoiled dogs on my own. I do bring my 5 old and 10 year old with me if I can to help play ball and show your pups (or fellow animals as much affection as they need while you are away.
“Lexi is amazing. Super sweet and you can tell she really loves dogs. She was very flexible with my last-minute request on Christmas. My boy even cries for her when she leaves. I would trust her with him and my house any day.”
About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!
“I was referred to Emily by my primary dog sitter, and I have nothing but good words to say for her house visit! Emily was very thorough and send updates all the time. Will definitely be reaching to her again if needed.”
About: I have 3 pups of my own, and work with cats and dogs every day as a veterinary technician assistant at The PARC Animal Hospital. I've always loved animals, and feel so fortunate to be able to make that my full-time job! I would be honored to care for your pets while you're away! I currently work 10-hour shifts Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but would love to come hang out with your fur babies Sunday through Wednesday! I can swing by for walks or for cuddle time and feedings, or stay over and house sit. I will make sure for pets are safe and secure. I have one reactive dog, so I'm very familiar with keeping him safe and not putting anyone in an unsafe situations. I am experienced at giving meds, so I'm happy to administer anything from a pill at dinner time or an injection.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,872 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
