“Ida was wonderful! She sent picture updates and communicated well! I'm so glad I found her and look forward to my next trip away knowing my house and dogs will be well cared for.”
“Jaydn was great for Buddy! We got tons of picture updates while we were away. She definitely cares about the pets she sits! Will absolutely rebook if we need to leave town again. It was great knowing that Buddy was in good hands!”
“Landon was very patient and professional helping me through my first rover booking. He communicated promptly whenever I reached out to him and made my time away from home and my pup stress-free. My pup seemed happy and well cared for when I got back home. I'd definitely recommend Landon and will use him again in the future!”
“Madison did a great job! Our cats are shy and because she stayed at the house they got more comfortable with her. She fed fish and misted the snake cage, too. Definitely recommend!”
“Max stayed with our 4 dogs for over two weeks - no small task with 3 doodles and one still a puppy (6 months)! I was worried leaving them for so long but Max did a great job and wasn’t phased by the gang and their individual personalities! I definitely will use Max again. Thank you Max!!”
“Monica is a wonderful option for house sitting or any dog sitting needs you have. She took time and care to get to know my pup and make sure all three of us were comfortable and the right fit. That in of itself meant more than anything. She is highly recommended!”
“Olivia was a great in home sitter for our 3 babies! She checked in often with pictures, and we came home to a clean home filled with happy, exercised pups! I would highly recommend Olivia and will be rebooking with her in the future. 💛”
“Bianca took good care of our pups while we were away. She wasn’t able to stay overnight like we planned all nights but she made sure to care for our animals while away. Would recommend using for drop ins and overnights possibly.”
“Whitney was great with my two dogs, Margarita and Mandy. She loved on them and made them feel comfortable while I was out of town. She sent me updates and pictures daily of how they were doing I would definitely recommend and use Whitney again when I need to be away from my babies!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and neighbors trusted me with their pets as early as age 16. I continue to help friends and family by providing walks, playtime, and plenty of comfort and companionship for their pet. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and with dogs who have disabilities. Also small animals such as mice, hamsters, bunnies all the way up to Salcuta tortoise , I truly treat every pet like family and believe animals bring peace and joy to our lives. As I write this, I’m sitting for six dogs happily curled up at my feet and in my lap right where they belong. I currently work a shift schedule where I would be available after 2 pm or after 5 am. Hope to make this more of a full time job. Your welcome to contact me and I can let you know my schedule for the week. If needed I can ask off should I be needed for multiple days. In my home, I have a fenced yard that is perfect for both my dogs and my tortoise. I spoil my tortoise with delicious treats and ensure he stays warm in the winter. My dogs are like my kids; I take them for walks, give them treats, and shower them with love. When caring for a client's pet, I strictly follow their instructions. I provide treats if permitted, take them for walks as needed, and offer plenty of affection to ensure they feel loved. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment, helping them feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away.
About: With a lifetime of dedicated experience, I offer professional, reliable care for dogs and cats. My belief centers on prioritizing your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as my own. I maintain a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, including strict adherence to dietary needs and medication administration, which I have personal experience with one of my previous dogs. My last 3 dogs lived to be 18 or more years old. I even had a Westie that had Addisons Disease. I was told she would not live more than a couple of years, but with daily medication and lots of extra care, she lived to be 19 years old. Whether I am walking your dog or providing transportation, I remain vigilant for any signs of distress . I find great joy in discovering each pet's unique personality and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment. My responsible and empathetic approach ensures your companions are in excellent hands. I look forward to meeting your furry, feathered, or hoofed family members and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. NOTE: For animal sitting at your home, I will need the flexibility to tend to my own pets and my elderly mother at my home. They will be short visits and I can then return to your home. Im currently in between jobs and available any hours. Once I find a position to close out my career, ill still be available outside of my work schedule. I am open to caring for your pet in my home, depending on type and size. I also have experience with dogs that require medication.

“Kirsten was the perfect one to look after our 3 fur babies! She is responsible, respectful and responsive. She kept us updated on how things were going and sending pictures. We will definitely be calling on Kirsten again! Would highly recommend!”
About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals on my family’s farm over the past 8 years. I've helped take care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which has taught me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and how to handle animals with different needs and temperaments. As a college student home for the summer, I fit pet care into my daily routine by planning around my work schedule and training. I work as a lifeguard in Temple and I'm a college athlete so I must get my workout in each day. I make time for feeding, walking, or checking in on pets, depending on what's needed. My schedule is flexible in the summer months. I ensure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, with fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, dietary needs, or favorite toys and activities. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize each pet’s well-being as if they were my own.
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs

FAQs for House Sitting - Bruceville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 263 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bruceville. 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 Bruceville 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 Bruceville 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 Bruceville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bruceville. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
