“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.”
About: Hi! I’m a former special education teacher who has spent my career caring for others with patience, responsibility, and compassion. As a lifelong dog lover and proud Yorkie mom, I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, including administering medications (insulin) and providing extra attention to pets with special needs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they receive the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have two friendly, vaccinated Yorkies who are used to being around other dogs, and I always introduce pets slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and routines. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Having Ashley as our sitter was the perfect decision! We were able to enjoy our honeymoon knowing that we’d get pictures of our dogs walking, playing, or just relaxing twice a day! She was very caring, professional, and kept me well informed—especially about my dog that sometimes skips meals. Definitely would rebook with Ashley :)”
“Tammy was a fantastic sitter for my cat Solana! She was so kind and asked all detailed questions about my cat’s medication and food schedule. I loved all the picture updates she gave of how my cat was doing while I was out of town. Thank you Tammy!”
“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!”
“Lisa watched our dog Beau for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. This is the third time she has watched him and she is fantastic! She not only gave him 2 walks a day, but also went next door to get Ruby (Beau’s bestie) for a walk too! She is very accommodating to our requests and very quick to respond to our questions. Her paw reports are daily and detailed with pictures too! She even got him a scratch board to help with his nails!!!”
“What an awesome job Nick did! We were so nervous leaving for our 10 day cruise and first time leaving our fur baby but he kept in contact when we had service and always sent pics. House looked awesome as well! We will definitely use him again!”
“Blanca was great, was very attentive to our pets while we were away. would highly recommend her house sitting services. we will be rebooking blanca for any future house/ pet sitting needs!”
“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.”
“Morgan was fantastic with my girl Jovi over the holidays! She was very accommodating about a few unexpected requests I had to make last minute, sent pics throughout her stay that showed Jovi was super comfortable & content with her, and left my place exactly as she found it. Will definitely rebook!”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for Charlie! From the beginning, communication was excellent, and it was clear that Charlie was in caring and capable hands. We appreciated the updates, photos, and attention given to his needs while we were away. Charlie was happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s not always easy leaving your pet with someone else, but this experience exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Katherine to other pet parents looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring.”
“Shanda was amazing! She came over last minute and was so great to our animals. She sent many pictures and kept the house so clean. We really appreciate her so much for everything.”
“Avy is awesome! She took such good care of Tumbleweed and Dahlia this weekend, sent lots of pictures, and beautifully survived all of their chaotic antics. She also left our apartment squeaky clean AND offered to mop and wash the sheets. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“This was my first time having someone house sit. I was nervous but after meeting Nita and seeing how the dogs loved her first sight put my mind at ease. I think they got a little spoiled with the food topper she made them, now they expect me to do it (lol). She kept me updated by sending me pics and videos. I was able to go enjoy my birthday knowing that my babies were taking care of. I would most definitely recommend Ms. Nita and use her again in the future.”
“Louann took very good care of Lexi. Lexi was glad to see us when we got home, but is missing Louann. I would highly recommend Louann as both a pet sitter as well as a house sitter.”
“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!”

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.
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
- 96% 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.
