About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 4 years, i have 2 dogs and 1 cat at my house so i’m very used to how they act, crazy or calm. I’m currently able to do full time for drop ins, walks and house sitting. I can do Mornings, afternoon and evening for your animals! I am also very flexible on weekends and can accept last minute bookings if needed. I leash my dogs when they go outside so i can do that with other dogs, i love to do tricks for treats with them and teach new tricks just for fun, i also love to take dogs on walks and make them feel comfortable with what they normally do on a daily basis.
“Emily was excellent. She had last minute availability to help us in the impossible idea of finding a house sitter for 5 animals willing to stay at the house. Emily was flexible in what she could offer and was ready for whatever we needed. Truly a professional. She watched over my three dogs, my two cats, and stayed in my home for 9 days. My babies were cared for, my home was watched over, and we had total peace of mind. Added bonus was our home was handed off to us in the exact state, if not better than we left it in. Washed sheets and all. She even worked with my two dogs who do not get along the best inside, and trained with them to get them to be more at peace together inside. Whatever we asked her to do for pets and house, she followed to a t, and her partner is also lovely. I can’t recommend her enough. We found her on rover…. The only thing that gave me peace of mind was her reviews on rover to make the jump and book with her…. Emily is going to be rebooked with us for any needs we have in the future. We are so thankful!”


“Britton was great with our pets and took great care of the house while we were on vacation. She is kind, professional, and very trustworthy. Would definitely recommend and look forward to working with her in the future”

“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”


About: I bring more than just walks and cuddles! With experience in vet school, grooming, and training, I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and shy or anxious pets. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure your pet feels safe and loved 🐶🐱 Pet care is part of my everyday life! I care for 3 guinea pigs, a chameleon, 5 cats, a dog, and multiple fish tanks daily, so animals are built into my routine from morning to night. I also work at a pet store where I train dogs and care for a variety of animals, so being around pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my life revolves around 🐶🐱🐠 I provide personalized care in my client’s home by sticking to each pet’s routine. I prioritize safe handling, walks, feeding, enrichment, potty breaks, and medications, while keeping pets comfortable and relaxed in their familiar space. I also send regular updates and photos 🐶🐱

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks for family and friends when they needed someone. I’m very comfortable doing longer periods of time if needed, I love playing with animals on top of just the necessities! I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to schedule around certain times as needed. In the fall I start college again with plenty of break times! I prefer to stay where the animals are used to. I communicate constantly while I’m watching someone else animals by sending pictures, videos, and regular updates.
“Lenny was very good to my dogs and stayed with them and treated them with kindness and respect. I appreciate her giving me the comfort that I needed to know they were safe and well cared for.”

“I was worried about all of our fur babies being cared for while we went on a 7 day cruise. Cassie was wonderful! She took care of everyone and sent us updates throughout our vacation. I will definitely be using her for our future pet care needs!”

“Charity was fantastic! She came over twice before our trip to make sure that our 2-year-old crazy pup was okay with her. She was very patient and knowledgeable and took the best care of all our animals (2 needy dogs, 2 cats, and a gecko. We'll definitely try to have her come again!”


“Tyler babysat my dog, Mae, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Mae is an anxious Pittie, so leaving her with someone new can be stressful, but Tyler immediately put both of us at ease. He was attentive, patient, and caring with her, and he kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the evening. What impressed me most was the sense of trust and security I felt knowing Mae was in his care and in my home. When I returned, Mae was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Tyler, for taking such great care of my girl! 🐾❤️”

“Madison was great with our dogs! She communicated often with updates and sent lots of photos and videos. My boys seemed to have a great time with her which allowed me to relax and enjoy our vacation. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“Erin stayed here at home for 4 days for my puppy. My baby gets separation anxiety but I had to be out of country for a few days so I needed someone who could be here constantly. Erin did that for us. She was always on time and she sent my puppy's photos and videos frequently. My dog loves her and I recommend Erin for all the pet lovers. Thank you.”

“This is the second time that Bailey has watched our dog, and we love her! She really cares about him, and that means so much to us. She always sends pictures of him and follows our instructions perfectly, and we can tell that he really enjoys her company. We’re happy to have her as a pet-sitter for our boy!”


“Folks, Kaitlyn is the absolute bomb. She stayed with our variety-three-pack over the holiday weekend and they all adored her! Kaitlyn is an excellent communicator and sent fantastic photos/videos of our goofballs. 10/10 would book again!”


“Cannon did a great job watching the dogs and cat. The cat is skittish around new people but by day 3 she was out and lying in her spot with the dogs and Cannon. That showed me she was comfortable with Cannon. The pictures Cannon send showed the dogs being their normal selves. I would have Cannon watch my animals again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Brownsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 585 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brownsville. 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 Brownsville 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 Brownsville 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 Brownsville 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
