About: I have had all kinds of animals from childhood to now. We currently have three dogs: Brinkley is a lab, Champ is a Bassett, and Ellie is a chihuahua. We love adopting rescues, and I work well with dogs who are a bit nervous. I know how hard it is to leave your furbabies behind when you have to leave town, so I will make sure they feel safe and loved. I'm currently retired, so I can fit pet care into my day so it fits your pet's schedule. I'm available every day of the week and on the weekends. I can easily crate your dog if need be, walk them, and stay at your house for a few hours to let your dogs have play time with a person. Spending time playing is especially important to me if your pet is crated throughout the day.
“Jacquiesce is an amazing pet sitter, I was able to enjoy my son’s wedding with no worries for our pets. I loved receiving updates and pictures, which made me feel assured all was going well. I recommend her highly to anyone.”
About: I provide thoughtful, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. I take the time to build trust at your pet’s pace, keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Beyond the basics, I focus on the little details—clean spaces, fresh food and water, engaging playtime, and plenty of affection (when they want it). I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is not just being watched, but genuinely cared for. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care. Being available throughout the day means I can accommodate feeding times, play sessions, and any special needs, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care. My home environment is safe, clean, and well-suited for pets, providing a calm and comfortable space where animals can feel secure. I maintain a tidy, hazard-free area by keeping toxic substances, small objects, and other potential dangers out of reach. The space is regularly cleaned and properly ventilated, ensuring good hygiene for both pets and their surroundings. I also create a quiet, low-stress atmosphere that allows pets to relax, while still offering space for play and movement. Overall, my environment is designed to prioritize pet safety, comfort, and trust at all times.
“Gizelle was amazing help and very communicative throughout her entire care of my babies. 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. From a last minute booking she definitely took on my request with no hesitation and she was very kind and respectful. I would love to have her care for my babies again. Thank you!”
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 worked at Walk This Way Dogs in Tacoma, WA for 2 years walking dogs, dog sitting, learning different routines, and loving every single one of them as my own. I have 3 pitbulls. My oldest is Kiara, my middle child is Bubba, and my youngest is Sarabi. They are my amazing children. I strive to care for your fur baby as my own. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to check in/ take care of your fur babies as much as needed. I am unable to keep other dogs in my home due to my oldest dog having reactivity, but I am more than happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home.
“Very good communication, attentive to detail, everything was taken care of as requested. Dogs seemed very happy and well loved. Will definitely ask Adriana for help again in the future.”

I have experience in giving animals oral medication as well. I enjoy being around animals and take pride in making sure they are very well taken care of! I currently have an open schedule which means I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies as well as accommodating to any schedule you may have them on! I have a fenced in yard with a few dogs who get along well with others, I can also crate your dogs for you if needed.
“It was an absolute delight having Michelle dog-sit for us! Not only was she able to accommodate us on short notice, but she took great care of our 2 dogs - one s a senior with special needs, the other is a hyperactive puppy. We got plenty of updates and cute pictures, so we felt comfortable and secure knowing our dogs were in good hands. We wanted to book Michelle for the whole weekend after our experience, but unfortunately her schedule was already book. We wholeheartedly and absolutely recommend considering Michelle for your next sitter!”
“Leah was very friendly and professional. She did an excellent job. She was very flexible and was great at letting me know how my pets were doing. She put my mind at ease and I had a worry free vacation. ”
“Sophia and her husband are great! She was available and communicative. Shes very open and understanding. She took great care of my little nugget and was also able to come pick him up. I will use her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fabens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 198 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.

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.
