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.

About: Hi there! My name is Alex 😊. I’m a stay at home mom with 4 kiddos who love doggies just as much as I do! At our house your dog will be a part of our family. We welcome all dog sizes and breeds. Our backyard is spacious and full of outdoor fun for your fur baby. I provide alot of daily updates with photos so your mind can be kept at ease. 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 (Especially chasing each other) but she also has a reserved personality indoors and will lounge around and hang out which is perfect for dogs with a laid back personality. We're a family with kids who understand doggy boundaries but also enjoy some gentle interaction. I've worked with 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. Our family loves and welcomes puppies! Although pups who aren’t fully pottytrained , will require a crate 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) Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile! 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 at all times 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!”
“Bella is always amazing! She has cared for our 2 dogs many times and is great every stay. She consistently sends updates on how the dogs are doing. She follows all instructions thoroughly and respects our home. We trust her to care for our babies when we are away.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 210 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.
<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 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 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.
