“Abigail was absolutely amazing with my animals. She kept me updated the whole time I was gone which helped ease my anxious mind. Took ChiChi on walks and my scaredy cat even came out to see her. To top it off she even bought ChiChi some special treats! Could not be happier about the experience and will definitely rebook with her! Thanks so much!”
“Chantelle did a fantastic job and is extremely nice! Dogs were very happy when we saw them and she ensure the doors were locked and the key was where we agreed. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”
“Emma is amazing! I loved that she wanted to meet me and Lacey before she accepted a job. It was important to her that we were all on the same page. I was able to talk about Laceys needs and routine in person, which really made me feel at ease. When the weekend came for her to stay at our house I was completely comfortable leaving Lacey in her care. She gave me updates and pictures which was great. Thank you Emma!!!!”
“My dogs love Bella! She gave them lots and lots of attention while she pet sit in our home. Bella took great care of my special needs gent, and gave my large, super active dog lots of extra exercise. I never had to worry about my dogs while I was away.”
“Amanda was wonderful with our JoJo and Lexi. Amanda is kind and very good with animals. We felt confident that we could go away and not give another thought to how our girls were in her hands and could just enjoy being away. We knew everything would be just great and we were right. I'm very happy to have had Amanda at our home and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I've cared for puppies and senior dogs alike. I've been taking care of dogs my entire life and I am familiar with all breeds. From Daschund to German Shepherd I have been with them all. I currently even own a very well trained Dachshund and shes almost 2 I'm available most everyday rain or shine. I am very attentive and capable of taking care of most any dog. I always take the necessary time to care for a dog as they need it and when they need it I don't offer this service, but I am willing to take care of your pets in your home at any time that you may need it.
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
“Katie took great care of both of my dogs! My elderly Akita is kind of on his last legs and is high maintenance and she got him all sorted out. They were very happy when we got home 😁”
“Joseph was great! Our dog Rudy has many health issues and a lot of attention with his medications. He did a great job giving him his meds. He was also great with texting us and sending us pictures.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 7 years with backgrounds in daycare, training, and grooming. I can provide some or all of these components to my sessions with your pet. Pet care is a full time routine for me. I’m available and ready to put your fur baby in my schedule! I can be as active as your pet needs or the perfect couch potato partner. I care for the animals and the home based on client needs. I also am K9 & Feline CPR certified. It’s fun to me to try and find the activities and enrichment that best suit the pet and try to give them the best day possible with me.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Brownsville is $50

Abby was AMAZING Not only was she able to step in last minute as our other sitter bailed, she loved our dogs as much as we do! She sent many pictures and updates! Took them on nice long walks and gave them all the love and attention. I was so happy I didn’t have to worry at all about my dogs while I was away! She also cleaned our home and kept it neat and tidy! We will for sure be using Abby in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brownsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 225 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 , 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.
