About: I think what makes me different from other sitters is how much love and attention I give to every pet I care for! I’m super detail-oriented and always take the time to learn all about each pet’s unique quirks, favorite activities, and routines. I want them to feel right at home and totally spoiled while their owners are away! I'm reliable and love sending little updates with photos to keep everyone in the loop. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to make sure both pets and their humans feel super happy and stress-free! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I'm home all day, except for a few hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have class at UTEP. I make sure pets are never left alone for long, and I always prioritize their needs. Whether it's feeding, playing, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I’m always available to give them the care they deserve. Even when I'm out for those few hours, I make sure they have everything they need, so they’re never without company or comfort! In my home, I have two dogs and a cat, and they all get along really well! I make sure that all the pets feel comfortable and loved. I keep their routines consistent, whether it's feeding, walks, or playtime. For my clients' pets, I treat them like they're part of my family. I make sure to follow any specific instructions their owners have given, and I create a safe and loving environment. Whether the pets are in my home or theirs, I always focus on providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care so they feel happy and secure!
About: I am currently 18 years old, i’ve always had more of a bond with dogs than humans.Taking care of dogs genuinely heals my soul in a way that I can’t describe.I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 ish,I would help family members here and there with feeding/giving water to their pets, taking them outside to play and potty breaks of course.I have one dog of my own whom I love very much and take care of well.I sometimes care for my moms elder dog who is sick, which I have no problem in doing so I can always take care of a dog that needs special help.I really love dogs and enjoying being around them, if you’re looking for someone to help take care of your doggy I would love to do so, please contact me for more questions :). I am currently going to school for two days out of the week which are monday and wednesday from 8am-11:20am.With that being said I’m pretty much available to take care of your dog and making sure they get enough attention like play time, going for walks etc. I always make sure my dogs water and food bowl are clean.I think that’s very important for sanitation reasons.I give my dog baths here and there, and I also care for my dogs teeth.I kind of take care of my dog as if she were my child.Some people may care for their dogs differently and even though I have my own ways of doing it, I would prefer to follow in the steps of owners as their dogs is already used to that.
“Bella was able to accommodate our last minute house sitting request during Easter weekend. She is very professional, responsive, and friendly. Thor absolutely adored her and it was wonderful receiving updates/photos. We look forward to booking with Bella soon for future services.”
About: Hi there! If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs, you've found them! Caring for pups is something I truly enjoy. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm available every day of the week to give your dog plenty of attention. At my home your dog will have tons of room to run around in our big, fenced backyard. All dogs are treated with love, cuddles and care 🐾 and are always allowed to roam freely. We also go on walks pretty regularly. My friendly golden retriever, Adley, is super social and loves making new buddies. We're a family with children who understand doggy boundaries but also enjoy some gentle interaction. I'm happy to cater to dogs who might be a little skittish and need a calm patient approach, as well as those who simply enjoy to just lounge and hang out! ♥️ I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering medication (even for pups with conditions like cancer), so you can trust your pups will be well taken care of. 🐾 Please note that for the safety and comfort of all our guests, I am unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression. Puppies who aren’t fully potty-trained, a crate will be required for their stay to ensure a comfortable and accident-free environment for everyone. (Please note they are only crated for bedtime or if I need to leave the house for a quick errand) I look forward to meeting your awesome dog! 🐾🐾🐾 🚨To make sure your dog gets just the right amount of food, please provide clear instructions on how much to feed at each meal (example: 1 cup twice a day). This is super important for your dog's health and helps avoid any issues or misunderstandings for both of us. If you pre-portion the food, that's great too! 🦮 Important note regarding dog walks : I love to provide walks for your babies. Walks depend on the weather but are given every day. If it is too hot during the day expect a walk given in the evening/night time. Please note for the safety and the best experience I cannot accommodate dogs who consistently pull excessively on the leash. If significantly pulling occurs during a walk, I will discontinue that part of my service and focus on other alternatives of exercise such as (outdoor play or indoor stimulation) Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to be very flexible with pet care. Your dog's needs will be integrated into our daily flow, whether it's adjusting walk times or providing consistent attention. 🐾😊 When your dog stays with me, they're welcomed into our daily life. This includes playtime in our backyard, regular walks, and a cozy spot inside where they can feel at home and get the attention they need. Please know that I prioritize your dog's safety and comfort; they will never be left outside unattended if the weather is too hot or too cold.

“Sanjuanita did an amazing job taking care of Raven! She took her on walks, let her play outside, and gave Raven her meds when needed. Sanjuanita also provided lots of pics and updates during my time away. I felt assured Raven was well taken care of. I would definitely reach out to her for next trip out of town!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have had a variety of dog breeds growing up and I am skilled in taking care of every breed for whatever they require.

“I almost don’t want to leave such a stellar review because I selfishly want to keep Michelle’s skills/service a secret to avoid her being unavailable when I and my fur babies need her. She was an absolutely delight. Not only did she make sure my furbabies were well cared for and my house taken care of, I felt that I came back to my house being cleaner than when I left it! If you are in need of any pet/house sitting services I would 100% recommend, Michelle!”

My children can be very picky and special but she took the time to get to know them and she was very attentive to their needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 199 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fabens. 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 Fabens 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 Fabens 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 Fabens 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 Fabens. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
