About: Hey! I’m Christopher, a dependable and experienced pet sitter offering in-home care for both cats and dogs. I specialize in house sitting, daily drop ins, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleanup, playtime, and basic care routines. While I can’t host pets in my own home, I’m more than happy to care for them in yours where they feel safest and most comfortable. I know how important it is to keep your pets relaxed, cared for, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether it’s a high energy dog who needs a good walk or a shy cat who just needs someone calm around, I adapt to their vibe and give them the attention they need. Your pets get care that’s reliable, respectful, and low-stress and you get peace of mind I’m available most times throughout the day and week, so I’m able to easily fit pet care into my routine. Whether it’s a morning walk, afternoon visit, or overnight stay, I’m flexible and reliable. I plan around your pet’s needs to make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable, no matter the time I focus on keeping your pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine and environment. In your home, I make sure they’re fed on time, have clean water, get plenty of attention, and of course — walks, playtime, or quiet company depending on their vibe. I respect your space and always leave it clean and just as I found it. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in or staying overnight, I treat your pets like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love (and maybe a few treats, if they’re allowed 🐾
About: I’ve spent my life around animals with a lifelong interest and love for them, from volunteering at shelters in my youth to working with wild horses and on conservation projects. More recently, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and hospitals since last August, including my time as a vet assistant at Wadsworth Animal Hospital. With two biology degrees and a background in clinical care, I’m very comfortable with medical needs, senior pets, and specialized care. I treat every pet with the same professional attention and genuine heart I give my own dog of 5 years 💛 I’m currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I'm available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, and I can accommodate house sitting easily. My schedule allows for frequent check-ins and plenty of one-on-one playtime and attention. Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. Between my hospital background and years of caring for my own dog, I'm super observant about their moods, wellbeing, body language, and comfort. I'm quick to spot if something is off, and I'm very comfortable with meds or special medical needs. I love keeping their routines exactly how they like them so they (and you!) feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own puppy, Draco, as well as my cousin’s and brother’s dogs whenever they need someone to help. Caring for them has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and dependable. From feeding, walking, and playtime to making sure they feel comfortable and safe, I always make it a priority to give each pet the love and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 202 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
