“Excellent sitter. On time kept us informed on how things were going and very friendly and dependable. Wouldn’t hesitate to welcome. Lanka back whenever we are in town.”
“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 was incredible to our beloved Sophie! She took such great care of her over our week long trip and exceeded all of our expectations/requests. She went above and beyond and left our house in a much better state then when we left it, an amazing surprise after our trip. We can't wait to work with her again!”
“Susan was great! She stayed at our house for us and took care of our two dogs. Super easy to communicate to while we were on our break. She even sent pictures of our dogs to show how they were doing too, which was nice. We would use Susan again if we were to take him to another trip. Do not hesitate to book Susan to watch your pets!”
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.
“Celeste was amazing and we’d absolutely use her again! We had someone cancel 4 days before our vacation and she was able to step in and even do a meet and greet last minute. Shes a great communicator and we could tell the animals were cared for while we were gone.”
“Winta, as always, did an exceptional job taking care of our two furry children. She even had to deal with a random broken claw and handled it all calmly and lovingly. She's a tremendous sitter and will care for our pets like her own. Highly recommended!”
“Rebecca did a great job with Anisa and Cairo while I was out of town for the week. Park trips, walks, some swim time and Pictures. :). Already looking at booking her again for my next trip.”
“Bertha is amazing! Hands down the only person I will trust Gatsby to. She sent me messages and photos each day and I was able to FaceTime. I felt more at ease knowing he was having a good time. The sweetest person ever.”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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.
“Brooke did an awesome job taking care of my dog and house while I was away. She sent regular updates, left everything clean, and my dog seemed super happy and relaxed when I got back. Would definitely book again!”
“Matthew was incredible. Grab him if he is available. Best Rover experience to date. Great communicator. He sent pictures and my dog was very well taken care of. Can’t thank him enough.”
About: I am a cat owner, dog lover, and experienced gardener. Responsibility is my middle name-as a mother of two human children, I believe in accountability and model that in my own life. I have been trusted with cats and dogs many times when friends leave town. And as a cat owner, I understand what it means to be kept up to date when I am away. I am also happy to care for your indoor and outdoor plants, water, feed, and weed as needed. Got chickens? I got you! I work fully remotely from home and can be very flexible with my schedule, so I am happy to work around the furbaby's schedule. I prioritize communication and aligning expectations so the furbaby has the same routine and experiences as little stress as possible. I will provide timely updates and welcome communication from the client to check in on the furbaby.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cockrell Hill
Clover was an awesome cat whisperer, once again! When she came to get our key, Finn seemed to remember her-he came right out to greet her when he is often careful of guests. Our shy Raven demanded daily brushings! Clover sent us great pics every day of all 3 kittes and left our house neat and clean. We feel very blessed to have her watching our fur babies.
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.
Brooke did an amazing job watching our three dogs for a week. She sent daily updates and comforted my senior dog during fireworks. She was very attentive to all of their needs and made them feel loved and comfortable while I was away. She really went above and beyond!
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.

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.
