Charlayne is a literal animal whisperer. My cats have never approached sitters and usually stay hidden. My feral who doesn’t even approach my husband much was in love with Charlayne. She is so gentle and does a great job at giving animals space to decide how close they want to be. I tried to help her understand my feral with a lot of messages on “how to” do things. She was never offended and tried all my suggestions. They formed a close bond very quickly.

Morgan was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, Remington! She is so sweet, kind, and professional. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Remington was well cared for and comfortable with her. Morgan is an excellent communicator and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. Morgan even cleaned Remington’s dishes and followed the feeding instructions exactly perfectly! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 💗🐾⭐️

About: I have taken care of dogs of every breed and size since I was young. I have always had dogs growing up and I still have my childhood dog of 10 years+. I am able to walk, feed, and bathe the pets if needed. I can also help with tricks and crate training as well! I am currently going back to school for my doctorate in occupational therapy and it is a hybrid program, I want the flexibility of having my own schedule and arranging it around my school schedule. My pets have a schedule and understand their schedule, so if your pup has that, I will be happy to help! I also have three types of breeds within my home, so I understand the importance of boundaries, separate feedings, crating, and ensuring each dog is taken care of on their individual needs.

Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received this weekend! Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, but from the moment we met, I knew they were in great hands. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious my babies were well cared for, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. When I came home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful stay. I truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and genuine love shown to my pets. It’s clear that caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s something Rachel genuinely enjoys. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies!

About: My name is Dalia and I loved dogs my whole life. I love all the hugs and kisses and also walk them to get their exercise which is my favorite. I’ve House sat now for a years and I just love it. I provide whatever care is needed for your furry friend while you are not there. I also have Conversations with them as well to keep their attention. I love having outside activity such as running and fetch with them as well. I love the outdoors as well so if it is nice out, that’s where you will find us! I learn the schedules from the parents, I incorporate the same schedule or close to it. My sisters and mom will help if needed but for the most part I stick to the schedule so they will be comfortable. I have a fenced patio. There’s also a doggy part in my apartments. If the dog is trained, I let them roam free in my home.

Courtney took great care of my 3yo dog and my house for a whole week! Goldie is an anxious rescue but when we did a meet and greet she was so calm with Courtney that I felt really comfortable leaving them together. Anxiety is her only special need but Courtney was ready, willing, and able to discuss any meds or other care needs when we met in person.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds. From small Chihuahuas, Labs and German Shepherds. I have experience with pets with special needs and medication. I work as a guest teacher when I'm not pet watching. I tend to plan my schedule a week or two before and can be available most days for pet care. I look forward to giving your pets all the love and play time they need. I absolutely love animals and look forward to meeting yours.(: I treat every pet like my own while respecting the routines they’re used to.

About: Hello future friend! I have house and pet sat professionally for clients on two well-known websites for 5 years. I’ve done the same via personal referrals for friends & family members for 30+ years. I am very experienced. I loooove all animals & will care for, snuggle, and dote on them like the precious beings they are. I am especially good with anxious and/or emotionally insecure pets. I have experience administering medication as well. I am very quiet, neat, and clean. I'm happily single at age 56, stable, healthy, and very responsible. My schedule is flexible for walks, errands, chores, playing, and outside time. Sending much care to you as you consider your travel and housesitting plans. Best, Melissa My schedule is fairly open for pet care, petsitting, and housesitting related duties. Just let me know what you need. I’m flexible and will work with you! If I come to you, I will follow your routines, schedules, and instructions to the letter. If possible, I prefer to meet and greet with you beforehand to experience you and your fur babies in person. That way, you can introduce me to your home and routine together. I’ve had great pet care and housesitting experiences where meeting beforehand wasn’t possible as well. I like animals to be where they want to be, including the furniture, beds, etc… depending on their personal preferences.

Aundrea watched our 14 year old dog Kodiak for the second time and went above and beyond again!! Our A/C went out the day before we left town/when Aundrea was coming to watch Kodiak. In Texas summers, A/C is non-negotiable for humans and fluffy dogs. The house was quickly heating up but our A/C repair was taking a long time. Originally, she was going to stay in our house with Kodiak, but she proposed a solution of bringing Kodiak to her place, that would keep everybody safe and comfortable until the A/C was back. She handled getting him in and out of her car so easily (he is usually grumpy about being handled!) and sent me lots of photos of her place and Kodiak settled in. As we were traveling internationally, she stayed in touch with my family member who was at my house with the A/C repair man, and eventually, when the A/C was back on, she was able to return to our house with Kodiak and even stayed an extra night with him to make sure he settled in OK before we arrived home. After that she even told us that if there was another emergency while we were out of town to let her know. We love working with Aundrea because we know she has Kodiak’s best interest at heart and also has our back too! :) Thank you Aundrea!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ennis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ennis on Rover is $75.48 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 897 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ennis. 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 Ennis 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 Ennis 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 Ennis 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 Ennis. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
