“Second time we had Rabia watch our dogs, she responds quickly and sends updates. We appreciate having a dog sitter who seems to genuinely care for them! We’d book with her again 😊”
“Gislene stayed at my house with my pets and was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive and as loving to them as I would be. Not only did she leave my house pristine but the pets were so well taken cared of! She sent many pictures throughout the stay which I absolutely appreciated. I will definitely book her again!”
“Jessica will be our go-to dog sitter! We recently moved and I dreaded finding someone new. I reached out to several sitters on Rover and decided on Jessica…so glad I did! We were gone for several days and she sent us daily pics/updates and she took him for walks every day. We came home to a happy Ollie and clean home! You can tell she truly loves dogs and is very responsible. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Bethany was great! This is my first time on rover and she was it seamless. We did a meet and greet prior to the actual booking which made me feel so much better. Sent updates and pictures of our pups the whole time. Will definitely book an overnight with Bethany again!”
“Joanna was absolutely amazing. She stayed at my house with my dog and cat and they loved her! She sent pictures and updates everyday and my animals were so happy when we returned home. Would 100% recommend!”
“Lisa is the dog whisperer. She is so caring for your pet and actively involved with your dog. Or any pet she will watch for you! Absolutely recommend Lisa for all your needs!!”
“Alexis was above and beyond! She was extremely communicative and didn’t hesitate to ask amazing questions of how to care better for our pets! I recommend her with complete confidence that you will be pleased.”
“Once again Amber did a wonderful job with Milo. He’s so much happier and less stressed then when we boarded him. Amber and he have developed a great bond and he really enjoys it when she watches him!!”
“Auriel was absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring toward each of our four animals. She took the time to learn their individual personalities and quirks, and it showed in how quickly they warmed up to her. They absolutely loved her, and we could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. She kept us updated and gave us peace of mind while we were away, which meant so much to our family. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made all the difference. We would recommend Auriel without hesitation and will definitely be calling on her again!”
“Taelor was amazing! I could have not asked for a better pet sitter for my two pups! She made sure to send me a text at every visit and sent at least 4-5 pics each time. She also was kind enough to bring in some packages that had been delivered while I was gone. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was the absolute best sitter we’ve used on Rover! It was our first time doing “in-house sitting”, so we naturally were a little nervous. There was absolutely no need to be though because she kept us updated every single day and took great care of everyone! Highly recommend and I will always use Taylor if she’s available.”
“Daisy did a terrific job with our 2 girls. She gave them so much attention. She sent updates and pictures everyday. She even called when she noticed Pepper was having problems with her ears. And took her to the Vet for us. We highly recommend Darsy. We will definitely use her again. If we could we would give her 10 stars!”
“We loved Christine! This is our first time using ROVER for pet sitting. Christine was easy to communicate with. She responded right away and kept us updated. We had some change in our plans and Christine was flexible to adjust with us. Most importantly my puppy loved her! You can tell when someone is a good person by your pets reaction to them. She was proactive in following my pet's feeding and care plan. We definitely will ask her to come, again!”
“Laura was a fabulous sitter. She was great with communication, and most importantly took care wonderful care of my pups! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing services and will be a repeat customer in the future!”
“Elizabeth was the best thing that happened for us as we were cancelled last minute by another sitter. She was definitely an upgrade. She went WAY above and beyond for our boy Samson. She took great care of him and loved him like family. He even got a couple baths while we were gone. She responded quickly to our numerous text messages and sent many pictures over our 10 day trip. Our house was tidy when we returned and we even had some home baked cookies on the counter. We will definitely use her to watch Samson in the future.”
About: I've owned dogs my whole life and have become skilled in caring for pets. I currently have a Golden Retriever named Charlie and would love to have doggy friends to visit! I have cared for many types of dogs during my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperments. I work everyday with nine hour work days (7am to 4pm) Monday through Thursday, with an eight hour day (7am to 3pm) on every other Friday giving me a free day every other week. I make time every morning and evening to take our dog Charlie on a walk. I make sure they get daily exercise letting them go for walks and I also have a small fenced in backyard. When I am home I will provide them with playtime l as well. I will provide scheduled feedings or space for free feeding dogs as well.
“Jamie was wonderful! The dogs loved her. Our little 4 pound Yorkie is a Momma’s girl and will not even take treats from strangers but she ate out of Jamie’s hand! Jamie kept us updated while we were gone and took some really cute pictures. We will definitely use her again the next time we are in the area.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cinco Bayou
I would give Gislene 6 stars if I could. She was absolutely phenomenal. I am very anxious leaving our dogs when we travel & she made the experience so stress free. She had great communication, sent frequent updates, and put together the cutest picture and video collages for us. The dogs seemed so happy and comfortable in every picture and video she sent. Not only did she take great care of our dogs, but I think she left the house in even better shape than when she arrived. Everything was spotless when we arrived home. We will be recommending her to others and definitely use her if we need a dog sitter in the future.
Jess is amazing and we are so happy with choosing her for our pet sitter! She has been so amazing to send us photos and texts of our fur baby the whole trip. We have not left our pup with anyone overnight before this trip and Jess made it so much easier knowing she was so well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing an in home pet sitter! She is adorable!
Karycelis was able to help me on very short notice with in-home sitting. She stayed in consistent contact, asked questions when needed, and gave me complete peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.
Darsy was great with our two pups! We decided on house sitting because our newest addition has been picky about other dog friends she meets. Darsy provided updates and photos daily and stuck to their routine. We will definitely be reaching out to Darsy in the future.
Margaret was absolutely phenomenal with our crew! I needed a last minute house sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats and she exceeded my expectations! She shared updates and pictures several times a day and took excellent care of not only our furry gang but our house as well. It was neat as a pin upon our return and we were greeted by happy, smiling pups. We are so grateful we found Margaret!

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 Cinco Bayou 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 Cinco Bayou 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cinco Bayou 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
