“Nicole was great with our 14 year old fur baby while we were away for the weekend! Porter loved her from our first meeting. She did a wonderful job managing his (many) medications and all of his needs while we were away. It was so great not to have to worry about him at all. She sent many photos and updates and also took great care of our home while she was here. We are so happy to have found a trustworthy, caring person to take care of our dog. I would recommend Nicole highly and will definitely have her stay with Porter again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Dzit! She communicated with us so well throughout the entire time she took care of our fur babies and sent us plenty of pictures as well. She was very sweet and understanding, showed up on time, and took such good care of our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worries knowing they were being cared for by her. I couldn’t have asked for a better person. It’s so hard to find someone trustworthy and I’m so glad I found her. Hope to book her again another time!”
“Betsy looked after our kitty, house, and plants while we were on vacation for two weeks. Our house was just the way we left it when we came home and our kitty was a happy boy! Betsy kept us updated that everything was just fine at home during our vacation. We would use her again :)”
“Demi was a great help with our last minute dog sitting request. Our dog Ipo, a 94lb English Lab, was well loved during our trip. We will reach out to her again when the need arises.”
“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”
“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of the dogs, including a troublesome puppy, and was super respectful of the house, the schedule, and our time! She took the request last-minute which was great and she was flexible and experienced with handling my dogs’ varying energy levels. She also contacted me right away when there was an issue and handled it like a pro! Would definitely book again & recommend.”
“Daria kept us well informed on how the dogs were doing with photos and status updates. It was clear the dogs were comfortable with her as they went straight to their normal behaviors. Happy to have someone who allows us to enjoy our trip without worrying.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and treat every guest like my own. My home is calm, safe, and filled with love. There’s no holiday rate😊 【It is all about companionship🪀🐈🐈⬛ & Safty🔛】 As a full-time "work-at-home" artist🎨 & Cats-aholic😍🐱 & a childfree woman🧑🏼🎨, it also makes me well-suited to be a full-time cat🐱 sitter. So here I am🙋♀️! Welcome to a quiet, artist-owned private home designed as a peaceful retreat for cats. With a spacious garden and three cozy rooms, this is a serene haven where feline guests can truly unwind. Most cats love sitting by the windows or large glass patio doors, watching the birds and squirrels that visit the fruit trees outside. Sometimes, friendly neighborhood cats even stop by to say hello.
“Christine was wonderful and kept me informed with everything that was going on at my house. When I got home, the dogs were calm, which to me is a good sign of a caring sitter.”
About: Hello! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I am a dependable, compassionate individual, and love meeting as well as caring for dogs. I'm currently in FinTech and my partner works in government, but we LOVE dog boarding as it gives us the opportunity to care for cute pups and to give our dog, Zoe, a new f(u)riend. Zoe is our almost 8 year old golden lab mix rescue who is very gentle and has a great temperament. She gets along well with other dogs and is even willing to share her toys and treats! She likes to run around with f(u)riends during walks as well as chasing them, but not so much ruff play. I work from home 4 days a week (in office on Tuesdays) but otherwise have a flexible schedule. The health and well being of my pet and those that I watch are always a priority. My partner goes into the office 4 days/week, but after work we take the dogs on a walk/hike and also on weekends. I have a large fenced yard with turf and a magnet screen set up, so your pup will have free access to the backyard and turf, but let us know if supervision is needed when they are in the backyard. We also sometimes pet sit for our parents as well as friends. We love dogs and treat them as though they are family members. I grew up with several dogs my whole life of different breeds and have experience caring for both small and medium dogs. The dogs that come into our house are given a lot of attention, pets, comfort, and love. We want our new family members to feel comfortable in our home, for that reason, we normally only board one dog at a time. Our max is two dogs, only if we have boarded the dogs before and are familiar with their temperament and socialization. If you prefer to not have another dog boarded during the stay, please let us know and we can accommodate. If you have any questions about us or would like to learn more about our backgrounds, please feel free to reach out! We look forward to hearing from you!
“I am so glad that I found Aubrey! She patiently built a relationship with my sweet but fearful dog, Ruby. She took the time to learn our routines and has helped manage Ruby's reactivity with such kindness and positivity. I look forward to Aubrey's clever pupdates and cute pics when they return from walks and playtime. I love not having to worry when I am working or out of town because I know Ruby is so well taken care of.”
“I have two high energy dogs. They can be difficult. Chloe was able to manage them and make them feel happy and secure. She is a good communicator and reaches out when there are questions or concerns. She quickly adapts to the situation.”

“Matthew was great with our puppy Ivy, showed her love and took great care of her He also took her to puppy training class He gave me updates on how things were going and was flexible when our plane home was late. Highly recommend!”
“We can thank Sarah enough for taking care of our 3 pets! Quin, one of our kitties ran outside at night and wouldn't come back in, which is unusual of her, but Sarah was able to get her back in three morning after. Thanks again Sarah for all that effort! We definitely recommend Sarah if you need any pet/house sitting!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brookshire
I have never used Rover before or had an in-house dog sitter so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to find Amelia and arrange a date for a dog sitting. Amelia arranged a meet and greet a few days before the appointment which allowed all of us including our dogs to become comfortable with each other. The actual sitting worked perfectly and Amelia exceeded our expectations. She sent us pictures of the dogs with an update and did everything we asked of her. I would not hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again.
Daryl was an amazing dog sitter. I have a 14-year old terrier mix and she is hesitant about people she doesn't know well. It took her only a couple of hours to bond with Daryl. They enjoyed long walks in the neighborhood and sitting on the deck enjoying the birds and flowers. Daryl was also very helpful with watering my plants around the house, setting up a new TV and taking a defective one to UPS for return. The house was in excellent shape when I returned, and more importantly, so was my dog. I received photos and messages from Daryl throughout my travel, which put my mind at ease. In the 14 years I have owned my little dog, Daryl was by far the best dog sitter I have had. I will not hesitate to use his services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brookshire is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $82 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,558 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brookshire. 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 Brookshire 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 Brookshire 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 Brookshire 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
