“Noelle did such a great job taking care of our dogs for a few days while we were out of town! She was easy to communicate with, took our dogs on walks, sent update photos, and left the house nice and clean when we returned. She even offered to get more dog food in the event we ran out! We will definitely use her services again!”
About: I have loved animals all my life. I just moved to Darlington and my best friends mom told me her 1 cat won't come near me etc...1st day I was here her cat came up to me and let me pet her and she comes out of the room often to get petted. I have had a beagle, german shepherd and 2 lab/rotweiler mixed over the years. I am currently seeking employment so am available everyday/any time until I get a full time job. Can come any day or time if needed. Give them all the love they need, make sure they have food, water and take them on walks/go to bathroom. Play with them as well.
“Isabella was an absolute pleasure and I can't recommend her enough. She was so sweet and caring to my baby and I'm forever thankful I found such a good sitter. Will definitely hire again. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart ❤️”
“Sophia did a wonderful job looking after our home and two dogs. They were calm and looked after when we got home, the house was clean and she was even kind enough to take water the garden for us. She communicated very well before during and after, was punctual and honest.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was in middle school. I would always have family, friends, or neighbors ask me to check on their dogs, walk them, or just to come over and spend some time with them while they are out of town. I absolutely love dogs and would be happy to help care for yours while you’re out of town! I can take them on walks, keep them company, and provide loving, reliable pet sitting so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. I am currently a full-time student but only have classes on Tuesday and Thrusday in the afternoon so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I can easily crate your dog if needed, I also have a vehicle in order to take them to a park or to get a pup cup!
“Mackenzie was very good with all my girls. She handed me updates and pictures of them. She was very responsive when I would message her. She also kept my house nice and tidy, just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her to watch your babies.”
“Isabel was wonderful! She was great at communicating leading up to the trip and sent regular updates about Ruby while I was away! The house was also super tidy when I came back. Would have her house/dog sit again!”
About: Hi, I’m Matt — your friendly neighborhood sitter in West Bryan! I believe pets deserve a little vacation of their own while you’re away — full of comfort, play, and genuine care. I grew up with dogs and have always loved their company — big, small, shy, or silly, they all have their own personalities, and I enjoy getting to know each one. I’m calm, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s a nap on the couch, a walk in the sunshine, or just quiet company, I make sure your furry friend feels loved and secure. I don’t have pets at home right now, so your pup gets my full attention. My schedule is flexible on weekdays, which makes it easy to fit in your routine — from drop-ins to overnight stays. I’m always happy to send photo updates and keep you connected while you’re away. Because when you travel, your dog shouldn’t just “make do” — they should have a great time too. My flexible weekday schedule means your dog’s “vacation” runs on their time — not mine! Whether that’s a morning stroll, lunchtime visit, or cozy overnight stay, I’m around when they need company. Because dogs deserve vacations and safe spaces! My home is quiet, pet-free, and cozy — the kind of spot pups settle into easily. I keep things calm, follow your care instructions closely, and always supervise outdoor time. Think of it as a stress-free stay for your dog — and peace of mind for you.
About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.
About: I’ve had pets for 6 years now. I got my first Ragdoll cat in 2020, then raised a black Labrador from a puppy in 2021. We spent a lot of time together and went on a lot of trips, so he’s pretty used to new places and changes. My friends used to call my pets “travel pets.” In 2024, I also got a Siamese cat. I’m very used to having pets around all the time and spending long hours with them. I really enjoy being with animals. Being around pets makes me happy and gives me a lot of energy, and I’m more than happy to spend time just hanging out with them, playing, walking, or keeping them company. I’m a PhD student at Texas A&M, and I mostly work from home since my work is computer-based. I don’t need to go into an office except for occasional meetings, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually like to take pets out first thing after I wake up, and during the day I have plenty of breaks where I’m happy to spend time playing with them or just hanging out. I’m around most of the day, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I often watch my friends’ pets, especially when they go home for holidays or travel, so I’m used to caring for pets that are new to me. I’m pretty good at getting pets to feel comfortable quickly, and I always take things slow and let them set the pace. I keep my place clean and calm, and I’m careful about safety and routines. I want pets to feel safe and relaxed, not stressed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cooks Point. 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 Cooks Point 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 Cooks Point 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cooks Point 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.

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.
