“Dominique did a great job with our two small dogs. She is a great communicator and overall great experience. Definitely will hire her again and recommend to anyone else.”

About: Hi I’m Hayley! I’ve been a compassionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs. My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else while traveling, so that is why high quality attention and care is my priority. I like to keep you updated, sending plenty of photos and always communicating. I’m available for house-sits, drop in visits for cats as well as in home boarding for dogs. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule. Whether you have a younger high energy dog who needs lots of playtime and walks and exercise, or you have a senior dog who likes to cuddle and lounge around on the couch I’m here for you! I’m currently working part time so I do have plenty of time to play, take care of, and give attention to your doggies! A typical day if you’re boarding your dog at our house would be outdoor time first thing in the morning, breakfast, nap time, a walk late morning or evening depending on the Texas heat, relaxing inside, dinner, more outdoor time, play time, cuddles and bed. If you’ll be boarding at our home, we have a house that is set up perfectly for dogs and a large fenced in backyard for them to run and play safely. Someone is always out there with them whether it’s me or my husband Nathan. They get plenty of attention in our home since we are home all day.
About: I grew up with a dog until I was 18 (Westie - Minnie) and then after college was adopted by a wonderful rescue sphynx (PyeWacket). Over then next 20 or so years I have had 4 sphyx cats (PyeWacket, Forty Two, Tesla and Cairo) and 1 Lyikoi (Cypher). Over the last year my house has had 4 puppies (from 8 weeks), 2 turtles, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 full size dogs 6 cats and multiple fish. I also often house sit for a very smart chihuahua named Mazie. Currently in between jobs so my schedule is fairly open. Like early and late walks due to the heat but open for anything. Open to late night feedings if needed. I treat your animals like they were my own. Love to play, hang out and what ever your little one needs. Need to make sure they know they are loved.
“Jamie was great, everything I could hope for in hiring someone to care for my dog and house while my family was traveling! I loved that she wanted to come over and meet my dog before we left town, and when she did, she was so cute and sat othe ground to meet and pet him... I could tell she really enjoyed being around dogs. It also was nice to learn she works remotely, so could be around our house working from home, which helped me feel good about having someone around often to keep my dog company!:-) She was super sweet at sending pictures and stories throughout her stay, my family and I loved seeing them and being reassured our dog was being well cared for. We even got a cute report card on our dog, upon return, which was just an extra little fun touch Jamie added. I was thankful she watered our plants and brought in our mail too! I hope all our future travels will align with her availability, as we would be excited to have her again!”
“We’re new to town, and it’s always a little nerve-racking finding someone new to watch your baby. I’m so grateful we found Woody to watch our dog Woody (meant to be, right!?) in our home. I’m a pretty nervous pet parent, but Woody made me feel totally at ease from the start and took such great care of our boy. The updates and photos were perfect, and I knew both Woody and our home were in great hands. Highly recommend, and we look forward to booking with Woody again!”
“Lyana helped me out last minute. She let me ask 1 million questions and made me feel safe about leaving my dogs for the first time. While I was gone, she sent me lots of updates and photos, and really went above and beyond while watching my pets. I’m really grateful for her help.”
“Chantel was great! She stayed at my house with my kitty while I was on a trip. She sent updates and I returned to a happy cat and a clean home. Will be booking with her again for my next trip:-)”
About: Hey there! My name is Meg! I recently graduated from Texas Tech University this summer (Wreck ’Em!), and I would love to look after your pets for you! :) Growing up, I had dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds, and I have over 7 years of experience pet sitting for countless families. I’ve experienced many different care routines and am always open to new ones! I have experience caring for puppies as young as 6 weeks old and seniors as old as 16 years. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pet as my own! I can ensure your animals will be safe, happy, and well loved while in my care. I’m more than happy to take pets on walks, to the park, or just hang out on the couch with them, whatever the owner and pup are comfortable with! Since I’m currently searching for a full-time job, my schedule is completely open and flexible to fit your pet’s needs. Early mornings and late nights are no issue for me:) As a dog owner myself, I completely understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m a huge animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. Your dog (or other pets) will be kept safe, comfortable, and well loved while in my care. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, medication, playtime, walks, and downtime. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you know how they’re doing. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or wherever you’re comfortable with based on their energy and needs.
“Sarah was great. She was able to take over when we had a last minute emergency need for a live-in cat sitter, and we came home to find our cats relaxed and our house clean and well taken care of. She was responsible and responsive and sent us regular updates. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have rescue for 40 years and really connect with animals. Sad to say, my daughter said sometimes better than people. They are people to me! Trust is always the most important for me with the animals I care for. I fit into their schedule mostly. So they can return home with out to much adjustment if at all. The dogs and cats I have been watching tend to like the fact that I can meet their needs as they should. I am semi retired and work at home so I like to keep there routines as much as I can. So that the owners do not have to go through all the transitions. I very active as well. I like to create a trust/bond so the owners that I have been helping to date tend to like that I am ready available because like consistency for they animal, they do not like to switch sitters. That I would prefer and so do most of my clients. They need to feel at home. Also would prefer to have knowledge of pets doctor. Never have needed. Also any personally traits on need to know basis. Every Pet in different. I have not had many bookings on the rover site to date, but always been 100%. Only because I have a lot clients that I have had for a long time on my own and at the complex I at. Lots of word of mouth for me. I only watch one on one at a time. I believe in giving my full attention one at a time. I like to keep with there owners schedule as best I can. So that is makes the transition of coming and going easy. Animals just seem to get attached to me. Trust is the most important for all animals I care for.
“Emily stayed with Comet & Sola in our home over the Christmas holiday week. She was super communicative (lots of great photos & videos!) & kept me well informed. Our dogs warmed up to her quickly, especially our puppy, he’s weary of new people & they were BFFs in no time. Our home was well taken care of too! We’ll be re-booking with Emily!”

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 Driftwood 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 Driftwood 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 Driftwood 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!

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 .

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.
