“Amy is amazing! Our little dog Henry instantly bonded with her. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and even came to meet Henry ahead of time. We felt confident and secure leaving our little guy with her.”
“Lisa is an amazing house sitter. We have three animals: a 2-year-old bouncy lab mix, a 13-year-old cat with medical issues and a 12-year-old chicken (the last of her flock) who lives in the veggie garden. She took care of all the animals by meeting their individual needs and giving them lots of love and attention. When we came back after one week, the animals were happy and the house was spotless. I will definitely ask her to work with us again.”
“Spencer is fantastic! He took excellent care of our dog, Windell. He was responsible, sent pictures every day and did everything he was supposed to do, and the place was in good order when we returned. I would highly recommend Spencer for the care of your pet. Thanks, Spencer!”
“Lauren was GREAT! She was very thorough when it came to taken care of our pets. We went through everything and our pets seemed very comfortable with her. She even texted us to see if we arrived safely to our event and let us know that all was good with our babies. It certainly takes stress off knowing you got someone who adores your pets as their own. Would use Lauren again with no hesitation. Thank you Lauren.”
“Hallie is a senior lab very attached to me so can be challenging to sit for in my absence. Even though Chloe just met her, I was very pleased to return home to a happy and healthy girl who obviously did just fine and must have enjoyed her time with Chloe.”
“Allison sent me lots of photos with details about her time with Khya so that I wouldn’t worry about her! She also left our home even cleaner than we left it. I can tell Khya had a great time, and I will definitely use Allison’s services again.”
“Briana watched our dogs for two nights and did a great job. She followed their routine and communicated very well. Anytime she left the house she would let us know. Our dogs loved her and they got along well. She was very friendly and we would definitely rebook.”
“It was so nice to be able to go on vacation and not have to be constantly worried about our dogs! Dogs were so well cared for, instructions followed, plenty of pictures were sent and house was left in perfect order. I cannot recommend Mariah enough!”
“As a somewhat anxious, first-time Rover user, Sophia immediately put me at ease with her friendly, professional demeanor and desire to make a connection with my cat upon our first meeting. I left on vacation feeling confident that my pet was well cared for. Sophia kindly sent photos and updates to ensure that my cat was adjusting well in my absence. I returned to a happy cat and home just as I left it. I would, without reservation, happily recommend Sophia for pet care needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brownsville
Lisa did a fabulous job helping our puppy through his first time being away from his people. We received timely updates and when he started teething BIG MOLARS and was in pain, she was a champ in getting him through that. The house was as we left it and puppy was not just well Cared for but loved while we were gone. He got lots of exercise and exhibited his complete sense of security in her care when we returned. Very happy with our experience. Highly recommend!
Paula was perfect for our girls! She was very attentive and we felt incredibly comfortable with how she handled each dog with expertise and care. Our dogs were happy in all their pictures she sent and she was great at communicating to let us know they were all good through the visit! We would absolutely book Paula again!
Regina was a rock star! She handled both dogs, with ease and followed up with all my inquiries as well as photos. We felt comfortable with our old girl being in her care (that's saying something from this helicopter mom) and she also handled our middle-aged big guy, no problem.
We are new to town and particular about who cares for our fur babies. Elizabeth exceeded our expectations. She followed all our instructions carefully. She sent pictures daily and I could tell animals were happy. She stayed in home, walked dogs and provided lots of snuggles. We will definitely use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brownsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brownsville on Rover is $49.98 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,691 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.
