“I had the pleasure of being Jackie's first Rover client, and she is AMAZING! We were out of town for the weekend and she house-sat for us. She respected our home, even sweeping before she left, kept the litter box clean, and took wonderful care of our furbabies, Voorhees(dog) and Krueger(cat)! She kept in contact, sending lots of pics and videos. I was skeptical about having a stranger stay in my home, but from the moment I met her I knew I could trust her. My dog was very excited to see us when we got home, but then he started pouting and acting a little sad, and I know it's because he missed her! We will definitely use her again, she is wonderful!”
About: Caring for people's babies is my ultimate dream job! From their cuteness to their unique personalities, I fall in love with every baby that comes my way. I've always had pets. Mostly dogs but I adore cats as well. Snuggling, playing or teaching- I'm never happier than when I'm around animals. I know leaving your babies for any reason can cause you some worry. Let me help to ease your mind. Your pets will always be in good hands with me and they will always be treated as my own. I will walk them for some exercise, come by to feed them or simply just to play! You can count on me to know that when you're not with them, your baby is not only being cared for but also loved. I currently work Monday thru Friday 8 to 5. I can certainly come by to walk or feed your babies if you're working late. I can take care of your babies any weekend. If I could do this full time, I would. I will feed your babies on the schedule you provide. Unfortunately, my babies are older and don't particularly like other animals but I'd be glad to watch yours in your home and that way you know your home is protected as well. I can also provide a reference!
“We had a wonderful experience with Liliana! She was so great and truly went above and beyond in every way! She communicated, made me feel at ease about leaving my fur babies, and was the perfect house sitter! I’m so happy to have found her!”
“Damarilys did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs for the two days/nights she was with them. Her response time to messages I sent both before and during her sitting time was more than satisfactory. She also sent multiple pictures to of both dogs during her time with them. I’d definitely use her again if we’re going out of town. Amy”
“Katie pet sit for my 2 dogs Lucky and Remi over the Labor Day weekend. Katie came to my house prior to pet sitting to meet Lucky and Remi. Remi usually has to warm up to you but she went right up to Katie I knew right them my babies would be in good hands, because Remi does not just go up to strangers or people she's not familiar with. Katie kept me informed the whole weekend and even sent me pictures. I would definitely recommend her..”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all ages from bottle feeding pets to giving injections to senior pets. I look forward to meeting your SETX pets! I currently work part time so I have lots of available extra time to go spend time with animals. I’m super flexible with my schedule and am available most every day. I love taking pups out to the local parks, or exercising your pet in the back yard. I sadly cannot keep any dogs in my house.
“Thankful for Ms Melissa, my dog has a very bad anxiety since we have her. Melissa cared for our Daisy for 3 weeks and when I get back, Daisy is changed a lot, she became more social and has no signs of anxiety, and does not bark at everyone like she used to. She is now a happy and social girl.”
About: I have 5 dogs that I love and care for everyday as well as other pets who belong to friends and family! I have been dependable for walking, feeding, taking out to go potty, and being able to give pets the care they need when their owners are not available. I am a full time college student, but also have a bunch of free time on my hands! I have an easy schedule that allows me to care for all furry friends most hours and during the week and an always available on weekends! I can tend to your pets however you see fits, including playing and interacting with them as much as I can. I love my pets and understand how important it is to take proper care of them to keep them happy and healthy!
“Tessa cared for our three dogs over a 4day period. She was able to add my son’s dog to our little pack last minute as his sitter was unavailable. She is prompt and professional. One of my dogs is on daily medications, she was very thorough with his medications and made sure to give me updates. She is sensitive to their needs and spends time with them each visit. I was very happy with her services and will continue to work with her in the future. I highly recommend Tessa for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of my pets as well as family pets since I got my first cat back in 2010 when I was 7 years old. I have my own cat that I take care of. I feed her and take out her litterbox every day. She’s an indoor cat so she remains close to me at all times. I’ll follow whatever instructions that are provided. I’m used to dealing with my indoor cat. However our neighbors have outdoor cats that roam around and I hang out with them all the time.
“FIVE STARS ALL AROUND! Bri was awesome. I am someone who has a lot of anxiety leaving my fur babies even for a short period of time. I felt so at ease leaving them with Bri. We got great updates and I even came home to pictures and report cards which made my whole day! 10/10 will be booking her again <3”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for two regularly, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to match a dog’s energy—whether they want to play and be active or just relax and take it easy, I adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to instructions, making sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I also make sure to keep you updated so you can feel confident your dog is safe and well cared for while you’re away. I can make time for you and your dog at any time and any place! Summer time is the best for your dog, but so is the winter! Fall and spring work just as well, so come one, come all! I have two dogs of my own at my house. I have had dogs all of my life and feel fairly comfortable around most dogs. I am very open to being active with them and caring for them!
About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my childhood and I just love how they are. I have had experiences with many dogs throughout my life. They’re so cute I love them all. I currently don’t have a job right now but I am looking for one. I start my day early so I have free time! I only have one dog now. Her name is Luna, she’s been my baby since she was literally a baby. She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.
About: My mom has relied on me to feed, care, walk, and bathe our dogs growing up. My grandma has also relied on me to Watch overheard puppies as she left for vacation vacations. I have been doing this for 10+ years. I am currently working part time, I am available every weekday until 4 PM when I would go to work. While at work, I have three family members that can care for your pets while I am gone. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for them to play. I am more than happy to kennel, my friendly golden retriever and orange kitten whenever.
About: I currently have owned/trained an abundance of different animals. I’ve been around and have experience with dogs ranging from Siberian huskies to Golden Retrievers. I’ve even owned two different handicapped dogs throughout my life. I’ll be able to handle any fur baby coming my way. ♥️ I am currently working part time and not at all past 3:15pm nor do I work weekends. So your babies have my full attention weekends and nights. I have a privacy fenced in yard and two inside cats that keep to themselves. None of our cats care or mind other pets. Your pet will be safe and loved.
About: Hello! My experience comes from being the proud owner of an energetic and loving water dog named Capri. We loved hiking and spending time at the dog park. That gave me experience interacting with most all breeds and temperaments. Then of course there have been numerous family and friends dogs which I had the pleasure of watching full-time. There was even one over 100 pounds, simply cuddly and lazy! Owning a dog has given me opportunities I would have otherwise not had. The people we've met over the years have been amazing. I understand that our dogs are like family, and they will be treated as such here. Take a look around my profile and message me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fur babies! Currently my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and the majority of my time is spent at home. Bookings are accepted 7 days a week. I have a large yard, with a small portion fenced in, and pet gates are utilized inside. I look forward to hearing from you with any questions or concerns and would love to set up and meet and greet!
About: Whenever I was in highschool I spent the whole school year at the vets office for a class. I have always loved all animals, and made sure that they were always safe and well cared for. I have also rescued a few reptiles, I have some of my own. Rover is my summer job, most of the time I’m at home, so I’m available a lot. I’m starting college in fall so this money would go towards that. I have a fenced yard, no dogs, but I do have inside cats. When I did have a dog I treated her like a baby and I would do the same for yours.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Central Gardens is $35

Hands down the best sitter we could ask for to take care of our baby. She was more than tentative and went above and beyond with the best check in photos and videos. If you want someone to take care of your fur baby like one their own, she's your girl! Would absolutely reccomend🩷
Damarilys did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs for the two days/nights she was with them. Her response time to messages I sent both before and during her sitting time was more than satisfactory. She also sent multiple pictures to of both dogs during her time with them. I’d definitely use her again if we’re going out of town. Amy

FAQs for House Sitting - Central Gardens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Central Gardens on Rover is $31.64 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 71 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Central Gardens. 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 Central Gardens 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 Central Gardens 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 Central Gardens 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
