About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs, cats, sick and elderly pets, and kittens. I’ve cared for an elderly dog who needed constant supervision, helped at a cat shelter, and helped nurse sick kittens back to health. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal body language and respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I love playing and spending time with animals, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets with different needs. Most importantly, I’m great at following instructions and will make sure your pets receive the care and attention you want for them. My schedule is generally very flexible, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I don’t have many set weekly commitments, aside from being unavailable Saturday evenings from about 8:00–9:30 PM. I’m happy to care for pets in whatever way best fits their normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime in the yard or house, crating, or simply keeping them company. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure I understand your pet’s routines, boundaries, and needs before caring for them. I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to each individual pet.
“I didn't know anyone could be so amazing. Thank you Rebecca. You kept me informed every day. I received wonderful pictures. My pups love you. :) I'm always leery of starting with a new sitter but I was out of options and you worked out great. You are my number one go-to.”
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 !
“Connor is such a polite and sweet person. He took good care of our babies. He is the first sitter besides friends and family we’ve trusted to take care of them and we couldn’t be happier.”
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.
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 love dogs and cats and I've been caring for them since I was a teenager. I currently have three dogs and two cats that I deeply cherish. They're not pets, they're family. I have five years of experience volunteering at pet shelters where I've fed, exercised, bathed, trained, and cuddled hundreds of cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'm a retired IT guy and pet-sitting is my full-time gig, now. I've chosen paws and whiskers over 1's and O's. It was a no-brainer because, the older I get, the more i connect with pets and enjoy the finer nuances of their personalities. I'm available for pet-sitting, dog-walking or house-sitting weekdays and most weekends. I will be happy to sit with your pets at your home or watch over your home while you're away. I'll feed them, walk them, brush them, play with them, or just hang-out and keep them company. We'll do a meet and greet before your first booking to introduce me to your pets, facilities, food, etc,...
“Madelyn came to our home to care for our new puppy while we were out of town. We've never had an in-home sitter and can't say enough positive comments about Madelyn and this experience! She was exceptionally communicative throughout the weekend with numerous updates and pictures. Madelyn clearly has a love of animals that shows in her care and interactions. We highly recommend Madelyn to help you care for your pets when you're away! She will definitely be the first one we contact if we are in need of an in-home pet sitter again!”
“Amy is really amazing! We’ve experienced horror stories with other pet sitters but you have nothing to worry about with Amy. We could tell she truly loved our pets and would send us pictures on a daily basis. She was on time and quick to reply to us. We will definitely be repeat customers. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give. I work part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with all the pets. I love being outside and going for walks and spending time with animals as much as I can. Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.
“Chanahyah was amazing. She was awesome at keeping us posted on how our dogs were doing the whole time and our dogs loved her from the meet and greet. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up on a farm & helped raise dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, cows, ducks, & hamsters! I have a love for all animals :) I am a law student, so when I’m not in class, I can drop in to care for your pet! I’m also available anytime on weekends! I have a fenced yard for your fur baby to play in. I also have a male (neutered) dog who just turned two. He’s very friendly and trained! I have a large crate if your pet needs to be crated for any reason, otherwise they are welcome to snuggle on my couch or bed with me!!
“Clare was incredible!! My furbabies were so happy and she provided tons of updates. She even left my home cleaner than I left it. So grateful to have found Clare!!! Will book many more times to come.”
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
“Keri was a wonderful sitter for our 4 girls. She followed all instructions and even had to deal with our 3 big storm fear girls in the middle of the night when a thunderstorm moved in. Everyone had their calming treats and got settled in. We communicated frequently since this was her first time to stay at the house and I am a nervous momma. I got pictures and updates and it was wonderful. We will definitely be using her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 227 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.
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 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ector. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 81% 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.
