About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
“Rachel was wonderful with our cats and took care of our home while we were away for a week. The cats warmed up to her quickly and remained calm with her. Rachel left our home clean and followed instructions. A situation arose at the house while she was at work. She acted quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our babies. Rachel was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We would highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was great with my senior dog and was able to stay at my place, take him on walks, feed him daily, etc. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Communication was easy and she sent photos during my entire time away. Thanks Sarah!”
“Our dog requires a special diet and takes medicine twice a day. Carly did a great job taking care of her. She also left our cottage in good shape! I will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you for taking care of Tofu on such short notice! Olivia followed all the directions perfectly, sent prompt picture updates, and even stayed a little longer than I initially requested. I really appreciate her flexibility and care. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
“Kimberly was a life saver. Our regular sitter was unavailable which left us scrambling to find another sitter last minute. Kimberly was able to meet with very little notice and the dogs loved her immediately. She took great care of our Great Danes and did everything we asked. I would recommend.”
About: I really enjoy taking care of animals and would love the opportunity to help others when they need it as I am Also a stay at home mom. I am pretty flexible as I am Currently just doing dog sitting to make some extra cash to allow me to care for my family while staying at home. I respect the space you have for your pets and will treat it with the utmost of care. If I start Sitting at my home I have 5 acres with leads and crates to meet the needs of any animal.
“Erica was amazing with our babies! We have a senior pup that needs special attention and Erica took extra special care for her and did amazing. We were so pleased we immediately book her for another longer stay. She is now our go to person!!”
“This was the longest we’ve ever been away from our 2 dogs. We were so happy knowing Andrea was taking the best care of them. We just got home and our dogs were so happy!! Thank you so much Andrea!”
About: I have been fortunate to love and care for pets of all types for over 40 years. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Great Danes to chihuahuas and cats of all temperaments. In college I worked at a rescue facility for animals and I also have worked with farm animals. I have some medical experience and comfortable giving medications and treatments on animals with instructions. I am semi-retired and can spend more time with your pets. I am retired from my corporate job and work sporadically as a professional real estate inspector. When hired to care for your pets I will have few distractions and will be able to spend as much time as needed caring for them. At home I have 2 small-medium sized dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs have full use of. I also have a pool that dogs who like to swim can use. I frequently take them on walks at a local park or longer hikes at Tyler State Park. At your home I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. I am able to check in frequently or stay with them, depending on distance and their needs.
“Aleisa did a wonderful job taking care of my two boxers! They’re high energy and she handled their energy with ease. Kept the house spotless and cleaned up after herself. Couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter!”
“Heather did an excellent job watching my pups! She went above and beyond taking care of them and my house. I just moved into a new home and she even helped clean/unpack some and it was truly appreciated! I would definitely use her again and trust she would do a great job!”
“Mariah is amazing. She provided us with video updates each day and responded quickly with additional updates. Mariah is an animal whisperer as I have one very loyal to me only dog. Mariah while house sitting provided a safe space for her and I didn't come home to an anxious, overstimulated dog. I strongly feel that Mariah went above and beyond my expectations and I hope to be able to have her visit again soon. THANK YOU MARIAH!!”
About: I've had many pets all my life, multiple dogs and cats. I've dealt with all different personalities with our cats. I love animals and have always had a soft spot for them. I'm currently a Sophomore at UT Tyler, and have two classes in person and the rest online. My week is pretty clear, my cat is self sufficient with her automatic feeder and litter box. I would take the dogs on walks, care for them throughout the day, feed when needed. For cats, I would make sure they are drinking enough water and well stimulated.
“Genesis took care of my four dogs, in my home, for a week and did a tremendous job! She’s super sweet and very conscientious. I’ll be using her again! Thank you so much, Genesis!! ❤️”

I have experience with many different animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds(including domestic like parakeets, exotics such as parrots and even chickens, geese, etc). lizards , fish, Hermit, crabs, Horses, even hampsters and more . I would love to be given the opportunity to help take care of your furry (or not so furry) friend whenever the need arises.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs at a time growing up as well. I love animals and it would be a pleasure to keep your fur babies safe while you’re away! 🩷 I work mostly part time at a restaurant! My shifts are only 4-5 hour shifts! I work 4 days out of the work week and 1 day on the weekend! I care for the pets by making sure they are fed and taken care of! Potty breaks of course & if any of the pets need any medications.
“Karen is amazing! Every one of our dogs love her - even the two grumpy old men :) She was patient and kind and let the shy ones come around slowly - the others trusted her immediately.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 172 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edom. 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 Edom 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 Edom 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 Edom 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.
