“Kendra was amazing watching my boys Oliver and Sebastian. Oliver is special needs and has epilepsy so he needs meds 3x a day. Kendra had no issue administering his meds and making sure my baby was okay and taken care of. she even let me know each time she gave his meds so my mind was at ease. She made me very comfortable as I haven’t left my boys with anyone before. I am so glad I found her and will continue to use her services because I know Ollie and Bash will be well taken care of.”
“Omg… KELILA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So kind, so helpful and most importantly my baby loved her so mix. She was the best sitter I have ever had, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Kelila.”
“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”
“Taylor was great! She was very communicative and our dogs loved having her! She sent pictures of her visit which gave us huge peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I had a cocker spaniel for 12 years until her passing. I have dog sat and boarded small dogs for friends for many years. I love dogs but not sure if I’m ready to get my own again. Losing a pet is hard but working for Rover will allow me the companionship of animals while also determining if I’m ready to own another pet. I work full-time close to downtown Dallas but have time to check in on your pets midday and after work. I am also available on the weekends. I am available to board small and medium size dogs in my home in Seagoville. I have a fenced back yard. You will need to provide your own crates. I currently do not have any pets that live in my home. For boarded pets, I will walk them in my neighborhood. I am able to follow any special instructions needed for your pet.
“Erica was amazing with our babies! We have a senior pup that needs special attention and Erica took extra special care for her and did amazing. We were so pleased we immediately book her for another longer stay. She is now our go to person!!”
“We booked Dykan for the first time for a long weekend away for house sitting. He volunteered to meet us and our two dogs before the booking to make sure we had a match which was greatly appreciated! Dylan is highly responsive, always providing updates, photos and videos throughout the day and night. Not only did he take incredible care of our fur babies, he also cleaned up everything that he used, from towels to toilet! We’ve already booked him again for our next trip. Thanks Dylan!”
About: I have always had a soft spot for animals and truly enjoy caring for them. I am a loving, patient, and responsible caregiver who understands that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a safe environment where they can feel comfortable. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I will treat your dog like part of my family while they are in my care. I am happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and companionship. I enjoy having dogs around and am happy to give them the attention they need rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. I will follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they can feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their family is away. My priority is always making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I regularly care for my three-year-old grandchild, so there is a young child in the home. I understand the importance of supervising both children and pets and making sure they interact safely and appropriately. My home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. I do not have any pets of my own, so your dog can receive plenty of individual attention without having to share the space with other animals. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and supervise pets throughout their stay. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care while making sure they feel safe and at home.
“Karina was great!!! She dog/house sat for 5 nights. I could tell she paid attention to all the notes I left her (which was a crazy amount lol) and kept the dogs in their normal routine. It’s been such a relief to find someone we trust to stay at our home with our doggies while we’re away. Highly recommend! 💕”
“Samantha took care of my babies for 10 days. She was reliable, followed instructions & took really great care of them and my home while house sitting. Just booked her for a few weeks from now! ❤️ thank you again”
“This was my first time leaving my dogs with anyone besides family and safe to say I was extremely nervous. However, Dakota made me feel comfortable and kept me updated every day that I was gone. My babies and my apartment were well taken care of. I will definitely be hiring him again. Thank you Dakota!”
About: Hi! My name is Aniyah, and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. During high school I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I completed over 300 hours of hands-on experience in a professional veterinary clinic. This experience taught me how to properly handle dogs of different breeds and temperaments, recognize signs of stress, and ensure every pet receives safe and attentive care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I started my own dog grooming and dog walking business last year. Grooming has quickly become one of my specialties because I enjoy helping dogs look and feel their best while keeping the experience calm and positive for them. I focus on providing gentle grooming and attentive care, especially for dogs that may feel nervous during grooming or in new environments. I look forward to providing your dog with reliable, compassionate care. If you’re looking for someone with veterinary experience, a gentle grooming approach, and a safe environment for your dog, I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. 🐕✂️ Because I am currently focused on growing my pet care business, I have very flexible availability throughout the week. I am available Monday through Sunday, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. Your pet will receive attentive supervision and structured care at all times while in my care to ensure their safety and comfort. My veterinary assistant background also helps me recognize when a dog may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly and appropriately
“I would highly, highly recommend Kristie! She did such an amazing job with our dog Josie, who had just lost her sister a few days before we went away. Kristie made sure that Josie was comforted and had all the extra love and care so she didn't feel lonely. We also received daily pictures and updates so we knew Josie was well taken care of. Having lost a dog before we left, we were uneasy about leaving Josie behind. But Kristie made us feel 100% like Josie was in the best hands and we knew she genuinely cared for her like she was her own. That was very meaningful to us. And, when we returned home, Kristie left a very thoughtful gift for us, which was a plant in memory of the dog we had just lost. I can't say how much that meant to us. Again, highly, highly recommend Kristie!”
“Robin helped us with our 10 month old puppy today and we were very satisfied. She even helped us with training! Grace was in good spirits after she left and very content. Thank you!”
“Kristy was amazing! She is so kind & took the best care of our dog and home. Kristy made sure to keep us in the loop and sent us lots of photo updates. We highly recommend Kristy and we’d definitely love to have her watch our dog again!”
“Heather took such great care of our puppies. We got pictures and videos everyday, and she would text and ask questions when needed. It made our trip more enjoyable knowing that our babies were being well-cared for. We cannot thank her enough, and we’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 14 years old. I’ve always had a passion for animals. I have two dogs my self (a mini schnauzer and a mini dachshund) plus a cat that we adopted. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs with anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home mom looking to make an extra income and helping families with their fur babies. It would be the perfect fit for me because I love animals! I have 2 friendly dogs that can make companion to your fur baby if they stay in my home. Also if I take care of your babies in your home I am very attentive to them since I love what I do which is taking care of fur pets!
“Michelle was extremely responsible and communicative. Our dog, Lucky, was very pleased with Michelle’s care and she took care of our home beautifully. We recommend Michelle as an excellent dog and home sitter.”
About: Hello, I am so excited to have a new friend in your pet!!! My name is April and I love cats and dogs but I don't have any of my own. I love dog sitting and walking them too. I'm working from home at the moment and getting out to walk a dog is just what I need to keep me sane. I have a few families that I sit for on the regular and the dogs have become like friends. My schedule is pretty flexible so if you have any questions let me know. I have my own vehicle and do not work my regular jobs on the weekdays so this works out perfect for me. Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies and cats.

The average cost of House Sitting in Combine is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 per night.

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 Combine 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 Combine 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 Combine 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Combine. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
