About: I have dogsat for around 3 years now both small dogs like mine and big australian shepards. I care for children as well. 💗 💗 I attend class 10-2 pm. So that gives me plenty of time for morning restroom breaks & check-ins, and im free afterwards (unless im babysitting) I would make sure to not disturb their peace but also make them feel love and give them all the necessary attention they may need.
About: I’ve always had animals around me and love me. I couldn’t ask for something better to do then be around animals. They just brighten my day I have a pug and 2 bull terriers and they are just amazing ! I have 4 dogs too take care of myself and I have had to deal with one of my dogs giving birth so I do have experience with puppies I am 100% trust worthy, I would never touch or go anywhere where I’m not told to go ! Would never leave or hurt your pup/animal ever, always do what you want and what the animal needs !
About: My mission is to give you peace of mind by making sure your animals feel safe and are loved and well cared for. I’ve always had a love for animals and a passion for caring for them. I have been a pet parent for the past 10 years and have been a part-time pet sitter for friends and family during that time. I have changed careers and am now a full-time pet sitter. I also volunteered at two animal shelters for 5 years. I offer personalized care for your pets based on their needs and routines—whether they’re energetic pups who love to play fetch, or more chill kitties who just need a lap to nap on, I’m happy to accommodate. What makes me stand out? I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll send you regular updates, so you never have to worry, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to ensure your pet feels right at home. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy for your pet and I take that responsibility seriously. I am a full-time pet sitter, so I have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I am available for drop-ins, overnight visits and boarding all throughout the week. I have a fenced in yard with pet turf for your fur babies to run and play. I treat your dogs as if they were my own, providing lots of love and attention. The dogs have free roam of the house including my bed for lots of cuddling.
About: I'm ready to spoil your fur babies with endless love, belly rubs and top notch care while you're away. I'll treat them just like my own and send you plenty of cute photo updates. I can't wait to become your pet's new best friend! I am currently working full time and will be available anytime after 5pm and on the weekends. I offer drop ins and also dog walking. I can come walk, play with, feed your dog or cat, in your own home. I will follow your care instructions and ensure your baby receives top notch care while you're away.
“Extremely happy I found Chanahyah. Very last minute she was able to accommodate a meet and greet with Gus. They hit it off quickly! Really appreciate that she was able to keep Gus occupied while we moved. I highly recommend her!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great. We have two dogs, one of which is sometimes anxious, so we didn't want to board them in a strange environment. Keri did a great job taking care of them and was even willing to feed and water our chickens and collect eggs.”
“I seriously cannot recommend Angela enough!! I needed a last minute dog sitter while I was in Cancún for a few days and she truly came through. She was kind responsive and so easy to work with which immediately put me at ease. She sent me the sweetest pictures of my dogs while I was away and you can tell she genuinely cares and treats your pets like her own. My dogs were happy comfortable and so well taken care of. Angela is trustworthy dependable and incredibly kind. I’m so grateful I found her and will definitely be booking with her again. If you’re considering her do it your pets will be in amazing hands 🤍”

About: Hi, I’m Candice (Xiaochen) I grew up with dogs and have cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I started Rover four years ago, and after a life transition, I’m now opening my own account. On my previous Rover account, I earned 100+ five-star reviews and built many long-term repeat clients. I’m excited to bring the same level of care to my new clients. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—puppies, seniors, large breeds, and rescue dogs. I’ve volunteered with SPCA/rescue organizations, fostered homeless animals, and helped them find loving homes. I’ve also raised and socialized guide dog puppies, so I’m experienced with puppy training, basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I can administer medications and injections as directed by your veterinarian and permitted by Rover. Your dog will be treated like my own. I provide daily photo and video updates, follow your feeding, walking, and medication routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. I respond quickly and keep you updated throughout the stay. I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard with a dog door, so dogs can safely enjoy indoor-outdoor freedom. I supervise outdoor time and can create separate quiet areas when needed. My home is non-smoking and has no children.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 217 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ector. 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 Ector 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 Ector 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 Ector 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
