“Katie is so good with our babies! She goes the extra mile taking care of them and they love her! It’s such a relief to k la they are in good hands while we are away!”
About: I have loved and had dogs with me my whole life. I like very small to very large animal. I have retired after 20 years at my job with the State of Texas. Currently I have one shelter dog and a surrender dog in my home they are both 3 years old and love other animals. I also offer the option of two home and can watch your dogs separately if needed. I have 16 year old son you loves to help me. We love all animals. I have cared for sick, wheelchair bound and volunteered at local shelters in the past and provide shot therapy for those that have needed it. I think of my dogs as my fur babies and my mom would buy toys for what she called her grand puppies every year. I take my dogs in my car and they absolutely love it. Some animals just want love and attention others need more services I will work out a plan with the owners to suit the animals, the owners and my needs for the period of time I have your animals. In one home, there are no dogs and I can watch all types of animals independently. It all depends on what there needs are. But they are all valued babies to me big or small. Let me love your animals for a day a week or a month. i’m completely retired now and am open to in home setting if that is what you want. Let’s set up a meet and greet and work out the details. i cover Lufkin, Diboll, Huntington, Nacogdoches Center and Martinsville Texas. i have a home in Apple Springs ( in town country) and Martinsville ( farm like) I am retired so your pet would be my priority. My schedule is open to you and your animals needs. Let’s meet and talk about what you are looking for in a sitter. I have two dogs at one home and no animals currently at my country home. My dogs interact well with other dogs and my son loves to take long walks with the dogs. Cats are welcome in my home as well. i’m lucky to have the option of boarding locations.
“OmG, I can’t even begin to tell you how special Kelly is. The love and care she gave my babies surpassed my highest expectations. And this is coming from someone who is not easily impressed. I felt like my dogs found a second mom. All four of them bonded to her from the moment we met. Kelly was on time with meals and provided my oldest, Bella, with her diabetic injections without any issues. I definitely recommend her for the care of your babies.”
“I could see by the pictures Kathryn sent me of my babies they were very well taken care of and just as I asked for them to be and they loved her my ladybug even smiled in the picture for her and that isn't an easy thing to get ladybug to do so if you need someone to take care of your fur babies dogs or cats or both she is awesome”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing the perfect balance of affection, structure, and safety. I am a currently a stay at home mom and going to school online. My schedule is pretty open and flexible throughout the day and night. My main goal is to make each animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their environment. In my client’s home, I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I make sure their space stays clean, cozy, and stress-free, and I give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chireno on Rover is $33.3 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 31 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chireno. 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 Chireno 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 Chireno 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 Chireno 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.
