“Our dogs took to Dawn right away. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We wre able to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were being loved on and taken care of. I would definitely book Dawn again.”
“Lauren is truly AMAZING. From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, calm, and patient with our dogs. She took the time to get to know them, understood their little quirks, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. She took them out regularly, kept us updated, and treated them with so much kindness that it felt like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years, From puppies to senior dogs I’m experienced in all stages. I can help keep up with puppy training or administer any medicines a fur baby might need. Rover helps me earn extra income while in school. It allows me to be flexible with other work schedules and clients as well. Being flexible with my time makes me appealing as a sitter. I have two dogs of my own with severe anxiety and abandonment issues, I know how to work with dogs of all kinds of social attributes.
About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to dogs! I grew up in a 5-dog household, so chaos, cuddles, and constant tail wags have always been normal for me. I’ve also been dog sitting for my grandma since I was about 12 (22 now) whenever she travels, helping with feeding, walks, and general care. Now I live on a ranch with 3 dogs, plus horses & other animals. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a business owner with a flexible schedule, I have the ability to adjust my routine to accommodate pet care on my days off. I take Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off, and I’m available after 3 PM on Saturdays sometimes earlier upon request. This gives me plenty of time to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I prioritize ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need during my available hours. When I’m watching pets at their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just hanging out, I keep them busy and happy while giving them some love and attention. I also take care to keep their space tidy and make sure everything is safe for the pets. My goal is to make them feel like they’re getting all the love and care they need while their owner is away.
“We were very impressed with Mikayla from the meet and great through the end of her booking. Our dogs love her. She has great communication skills. Sent pictures daily. Will use her any again. Just can’t say enough good things about her.”
About: I have had dogs since I was little and grew up taking care of them. I used to take care of the neighbors cats when I was younger and feel a strong responsibility towards all animals in my care. I recently cared for a young puppy to include walking her and a very old dog who required special assistance moving around. I pay close attention to how you want your pet taken care of because I expect the same for my doggies. I am currently not working and am very flexible with a schedule to include weekend care. I do prefer to work during daytime hours but will work with you if you need someone in the evenings . I will strictly follow your instructions on how you want your animals taken care of. My last client requested I follow their rules on training their puppy which I did. I will play, love and walk your dogs depending on your needs.
About: We love iur 4 legged babies and treat them like family members. We have threebabies and they are spoiled rotten. I make homemade treats for them which they get a morning and nite time treat. We gave a feeding schedule which is 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. They all sleep with us and settle in with us for tv time in the evening. . One of our girls even has a car seat because she loves going with me when u can take her. As u can see like I said earlier we live dogs. I would have more if I had room and lots if land.. we donate when we can to the spca. Anyone u ask would tell u that we are great with animals and trust us with their fur babies. I am retired and have no children living at home. I love animals and treat them like family. I’m also available to set with your babies at your home or mine. I try to have a set schedule for walking. Playing. Feeding and rest times. I believe all pets need lots of love and attention. I request proof of vaccinations. The dogs will never be left alone.
About: Your precious dogs will have lots of fun at our place seeing the sights and being walked on a leash all over the horse ranch. Seeing goats, steers, jack rabbits and having a large area to run and play are a big plus. We also have dog proof fenced in areas that they can have free time to play in also!! Lots of fun at Lugo Ranch! We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your pet and becoming your home away from home when our services are needed. We have other optional services such as crate training assistance, bathing, vet appt transportation, and various other services - if you're interested in anything like this don't hesitate to ask! We're happy to help!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve rescued 10+ puppies and kittens, volunteered regularly with the Humane Society, and have owned and cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, lizards, and more. I also cared for my pug who was completely blind and had no eyes, which taught me how to adapt to an animal’s individual needs and give a little extra patience and attention when needed. I’m very comfortable with special-needs pets, senior animals, rescues, multi-pet households, and pets with their own unique routines and personalities. I’ve even house sat for five dogs at once! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home with someone else. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re being loved and cared for just as intentionally as they would be if you were home. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 9–5, but I have flexibility during my lunch break around 1 p.m. and am available before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally very flexible as well! I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care schedule whenever possible, and I’ll always be upfront about my availability before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. I follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m comfortable adapting to different feeding schedules, medications, special needs, and personalities. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes. I treat your space the way I would want someone to treat my own, keeping things clean, secure, and cared for. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing both your pets and your home are in good hands!
“House and dog sitting. Olivia is kind and friendly. Pets were loved and cared for. Pictures and updates were provided. Needs some improvement on following instructions and home care.”
“Kimberly was the best we have had since using Rover! She kept us well informed and took great care of our fur baby which can sometimes be difficult with the different medications she has to take, we hope Kimberly will be available for the next time we need a pet sitter but if she’s not I can see why since she’s so good with at what she does!”
About: I split my time between Denver and Fort Worth, so I offer different services in each location. Here's a little bit about my history. I've set the lowest price as I just love being around dogs. My dad was a veterinarian, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. I lost my pup a few years ago and haven’t got a new one, but would love to have some visitors (Fort Worth only) . My yard is fenced, but backs up to a lake, so pets must be trained to not run off. I'm home most of the time on the days I've marked as available, but occasionally I will go out to golf, dinner, etc., so we can discuss if our schedules align. I work remotely usually 4 days a week, so your pet will receive lots of attention, potty breaks, play time and feedings upon desired schedule. I'm home most of the time on the days I've marked as available, but occasionally I will go out to golf, dinner, etc., so we can discuss if our schedules align. I’ll treat your dog as if it were my own. If they chase a tennis ball I’m happy to challenge them to see who tires first!

FAQs for House Sitting - DeCordova
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 623 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across DeCordova. 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 DeCordova 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 DeCordova 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 DeCordova 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.
