“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.”
About: My entire life has been filled with animals, only one year spent without a four-legged companion in my home. A trusted caretaker, I am the friend and family go-to for pet sitting and walking. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, understanding their needs with patience and love. I have also handled medical accommodation for aging or injured pets, including: special dietary needs, physical limitations, diabetic insulin shots, and post-surgery care. I am available for morning, noon, and night drop-ins and walking. Your pet’s regularly scheduled feedings and walks are respected to keep their routine. Your home is their domain, and I treat it with care - it’s important to ensure the area is safe, clean, and respected. All necessities are put back where they belong, accidents are cleaned up, and anything out of the ordinary is reported to you ASAP.
“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.”
“Lisa has the sweetest soul, and my dogs just naturally gravitate towards her. I left for 3 days and did not worry once because of how detailed and thorough Lisa was with all of her updates, including pictures and videos of the doggos. They were in great hands and were so happy to go on long walks multiple times a day. One of my dogs even needed to be hand-fed because she is a princess like that, and Lisa hand-fed her food like a champ! The other dog has stomach and joint issues so is on a very strict (and complicated) diet, but Lisa followed all instructions to the T, and I am just so thankful for her. Thank you for being the best dog sitter a girl can ask for, Lisa!”
“When our scheduled Rover got sick & had to cancel last minute, Melanie swooped in and saved the day! She was fast to reply and seemed genuinely happy to be able to stay with our cat & keep an eye on our house while we were out of town. She sent great pics & we just knew instantly that our cat was getting plenty of love and attention ? She went above and beyond, and we can’t wait to have her watch our cat again - I recommend her highly to anyone looking for a sweet, professional and responsive Rover ?”
“Matt looked after my two dogs for 12 days while I was out of the country. He sent me pictures and updates all throughout my trip. His consistent communication really put me at ease and made me feel like my dogs were well cared for. I returned home to a clean house- he vacuumed and had tidied up, even taking the trash out. I plan to book with him again and would definitely recommend him to care for your pets!”
“Michelle was wonderful and gave frequent updates, as promised. Poly and Petra were well taken care of while I was away, and we’d love to have her as a sitter again. Thank you, Michelle!”
“Isaiah was wonderful with Waffles! She felt comfortable jumping right up in his lap and hanging out right alongside him the entire time they spent together. The updates were great, I'll be requesting him to keep Waffles company in the future!”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, which is why pet sitting is something I genuinely love—not just something I offer. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for furbabies of all types, personalities, and quirks. I’ve grown skilled at intuitively understanding what each animal needs, whether that’s high energy playtime, gentle cuddles, slow bonding, or simply a calm presence while their humans are away. When your furbaby is with me, they’re treated like family. I honor their routines, keep their world peaceful and fun, and make sure they feel safe & loved. We’ll spend our time doing the things that make them happiest, and I’ll keep you connected with plenty of photos, videos, and sweet updates—so you feel close to them every step of the way. I am self-employed and have a flexible schedule. Pet sitting is a big part of what I do, but there will be days when I'm out of the house for a few hours or longer (on occasion up to 8 hours, but that's not a regular thing) tending to my other work. For the most part, I have ample availability during the week and/or weekends for pet sitting or other pet care...and I will divulge any prior obligations that would pull me away for large chunks of time before we book to make sure you're comfortable with my schedule during the stay. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of my care. In your home, I make sure all potentially hazardous items are out of reach and create a calm, secure environment for your pet. I stay attentive and present—checking in regularly so your furry friend is never left unattended for long. On walks, your dog will always be securely leashed, and outings stay within the routes and activities you’re comfortable with. I honor each pet’s boundaries and follow their cues, letting them “tell” me what they want or don’t want during our time together. I also take home security seriously—keeping doors locked, alarms or lights used as instructed—and will treat your home with the same TLC as I would my own. I’m prepared for emergencies and stay calm and level-headed, contacting you and your vet (if needed) to ensure your pet gets prompt attention. If your pet has any special needs or medical considerations, please let me know before booking so I can give them the most thoughtful, personalized care possible.
“Rebecca was great with my dog Nacho! Friendly, communicative, and kind. She had great attention to detail and made me aware of a small rash on his muzzle and cleaned it up. She was flexible and understanding when I experienced travel disruptions and left my apartment spotless. Will def book with her again in the future!”
“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.”
“This was the second time that Bertha has cared for my dog while I was away. She did such a great job the first time that I knew she would do great again. My dog, Grace, adores Bertha. She was in good hands, so I did not have to worry about much. I would absolutely call on Bertha again for my next house sitting.”
“Raylon was attentive and communicative the entire time with our senior dog and energetic cat. He was able to swoop in last minute and give 100% to our pets. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks Raylon :)”
“Chaka was amazing with my girl! She has a special temperament at times and they seemed to get on just fine without me. As long as she is willing I will have Chaka back time and again.”
“Bregayle is wonderful. She house sitted my 3 year old Sheppard mix. She consistently sent updates and photos, which I really appreciated and I came home to a very happy pup. I will definitely book Bregayle again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have three cats of my own, with my oldest being 11, and I also had a dog for 15 years, so I have firsthand experience caring for pets through different stages of their lives. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m always patient and attentive to their individual needs. I truly love animals and will treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention that I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine since I have three cats of my own. I’m used to planning my day around feeding, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they get plenty of attention and love. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with the pets I care for. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special care preferences. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure they always have fresh water, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets in the household and have taken care of many close friends’ and neighbors pets! I love animals so much! I work a eight-hour shift M-F, so I’m able to spend all my time with pets both before and after work. Also depending on the location, I can always pay your pet a visit on my break. I always make time for play, walks, and care whenever I’m available. Understanding and learning your pets boundaries are key. All pets have certain personalities that dictate behavior and personal interest. I am a very flexible person and will take my time to make sure the pet is comfortable and trusting of me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cockrell Hill
Clover was amazing! She did such a great job with my two pups who have a fairly detailed medication regimen and daily routine due to their separation anxiety and health issues. She sent such great, detailed updates and was so attentive and thoughtful throughout the stay. We’d love to have her watch the pups again in the future. Thank you, Clover!
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 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 5,303 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cockrell Hill. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
