“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”
“Cynthia did such a great job watching my dog while I was away for a few hours! She was super flexible with how long she watched him, kept me updated with pictures, and had great communication throughout. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and being treated like her own. I highly recommend Cynthia and would definitely have her watch my dog again! :)”
“Lauren is incredible. We found her last minute and had recently moved to Dallas. She did a fantastic job watching our fur babies and went above and beyond. We came home to happy girls and a clean home. Lauren is prompt and communicative. 10 out of 10 stars.”
“Blanca was amazing. She was so patient with our nervous and anxious dog. All of our animals, cats and dogs, received their medicine and all special food needs were met.”
“Ngina took very good care of our fur babies, she sent plenty of pictures during her stay and I made us feel very comfortable. We will be reaching out to Ngina again.”
“Lisa was so patient and kind with my senior dog and cat! He was slow to warm up but she put in the time and effort to make him feel comfortable and happy. She sent lots of photos and was very thorough in communicating how koopers day went. She also cleaned my place before I got home from vacation so I could relax as soon as I got in. Best sitter ever!!”
“Matthew was amazing! He was prompt, sent updates, and I’m just so happy with how well he took care of my furrbaby. Definitely recommend and I’m glad I found a great sitter for future times.”
“Another great job by Rebecca. I have had to travel for work more than usual this year and it's a relief knowing Rebecca is watching over Anisa and Cairo in my absence.”
About: Hi there, my name is Jordynn. Proud dog mom to 4 pups. From as early I can remember animals have been a big part of my life and that’s why I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their pets. I’m new to Rover. It wasn’t until a recent trip of mine where our sitter canceled last minute that I signed up for and used this service. That Rover sitter was a life savor and I knew I wanted to be that life savor for other people. I’ve taken care of a wide array of breeds from frenchies to pitbulls of all ages. I have 3+ years experience with misunderstood dogs such as trauma survivors or dogs labeled “aggressive”. I pride myself on providing every animal a loving and safe experience where they can be themselves and feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your baby in the hands of someone else and I assure you I will help relieve you of all of that stress. Photos and communication are my speciality. Looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies 🐶🐱 I currently work as an independent contractor for videography so i have a very flexible schedule but making sure pets in my care get all the potty breaks and attention they need comes first. I will diligently follow any guidelines provided to me from the customer and treat any home or furbaby with the same high level of respect I treat my own home and furbabies with.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Victoria & i’m an animal lover just like you! I have my own pet Ace (lab mix) & my parents two American bullies (Max & Apollo) therefore, I will love and treat your pet like it’s my own! I am a sweet, kind, genuine, & loveable woman who loves to play and walk all kinds of dogs! I would LOVE to meet your bestie and treat them with the upmost care, respect, and love which is why I signed up for this service. I do not discrimate against any breed, color, or size because I love them ALL! Thank you so much for considering me to be that companion for your pet while you are away. Currently I’m not married & have no children other than my own fur baby so I have time to love on someone else’s fur baby! I fit my baby into my daily routine (obviously) with doing things he loves such as taking walks, running, & playing ball. My home is a fully gated home if necessary to have pets in my own. However, when taking care of your pets at your home, I will do whatever makes you & the fur baby comfy rather it’s leaving them roaming the house or kennel trained.
“Michelle did a fantastic job house sitting our cats while we were out of town. She provided frequent updates and photos, and she followed all instructions. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Winta never fails to give the best care for our pups and we appreciate it so so much. Leia always gets excited when we mention Winta is coming over to hang out! Even our grumbly old boy, Khan, loves getting to spend time with them! Always a highly recommended option for pet sitting!”
“Dylan was amazing! He was able to house sit for me on short notice, and took such great care of my house and my dog Scout, I will definitely be using him again. Scout took to him immediately, and was sad to see Dylan go. Highly recommend!”
“Alexi was great! I didn’t worry about anything, she even cleaned the house a little from the storm that caused mud. I was at peace knowing she was there. It’s better than boarding my animals for sure. I will for sure use her again!”
“Shawndreal recently house sat for my old, 13 year old dog. She did an amazing job! I needed a last minute house sitter, and Shawndreal exceeded my expectations. She met with my dog and me beforehand, and asked great questions, and I could tell she genuinely cared for my dog's well being. She took great care of my dog while I was away, and followed all of the supplement and medicine guidelines and even sent updates when they were completed. She took my dog on his required walks and sent pictures and updates. Shawndreal left the house just the way I left it, spotless. When I got home, my dog didn't leave her side, I felt a little jealous LOL. She was a great house sitter, and I'm truly thankful for her efforts. Will definitely use again.”
“Briana is everything you want in a dog sitter. She’s on time, reliable, a great communicator, and most importantly took excellent care of our pups. We received updates and pictures which puts your mind at ease when you are away. I’d highly recommend Briana for anyone needing pet care”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cockrell Hill is $50

Highly highly recommend. I have used a number of sitters and walkers over the year, all excellent, but Henry was exceptional. He took fabulous care of Luna and really seemed to “get” her personality. I felt at ease and happy with her being in his care and absolutely recommend him to others. 10/10 for professionalism tact and speaking dog-eaze!
Fernanda was absolutely amazing with our blind dog, Callie! I truly cannot say enough good things about her. We felt completely at ease, and throughout the stay she kept us updated with constant photos, messages, and detailed updates. It was so clear that Callie was happy, loved, and incredibly well cared for! We will be booking Fernanda again in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring and communicative, look no further. Thank you, Fernanda!
Alexandra (aka Kai) is AMAZING!!!! She stayed in our home for the week and took great care of our dog while we were away! She sent us lots of updates and pictures throughout the day which we loved and we could tell our dog really enjoyed his time with her! We were able to enjoy our vacation completely stress free knowing our dog and home were in such great hands! :)
Ronald was wonderful! He took excellent care of our home and our two large dogs while we were away. Ronald is very conscientious - he showed keen attention to detail and did everything that we asked him to do. He's not only a great house sitter, but he's a good person with a big heart. We would definitely hire Ronald again.
Madison is outstanding! She is not only a fantastic dog sitter but she is also extremely dependable and very caring with our puppy! She took care of our pup over Christmas and New Year and did an amazing job. We never worried at all about our puppy. She also took great care of our home. We will absolutely have Madison look after our puppy again.
Karin & Alberto were great. They were very friendly, communicative and attentive. They sent us a lot of pics. It was almost like we never left. They spent considerable time with our furry babies. We are already working on our calendar to book them for more care and coverage.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cockrell Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cockrell Hill on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,122 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cockrell Hill. 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 Cockrell Hill 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 Cockrell Hill 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 Cockrell Hill 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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
