“She was great staying over night with my two cats. They both enjoyed Anna's company. She kept sending me pictures and videos of my babies.. They had a great time and I will use her service as many times as I need to. Thank you Anna for such a great job!”
“Can’t say enough positive things about Linda! From the pictures/videos she sends to how she cares for him like her own…it’s exactly what we had been looking for in a dog sitter! She plays outside with them, and pays close attention to detail, and loves them!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and am comfortable with a wide variety of pets. I understand their needs, behaviors, and routines, and provide attentive, loving care to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I make time each day for feeding, cleaning, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being around animals and am committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they receive safe, reliable, and loving care while their owners are away.
“This was our first experience with Rover and with Halle. The ease of booking and communication was very good. While we were away, she communicated with us about how our babies were doing. When we returned home, they both seemed very happy. With no issues. Our house was clean and tidy. We will definitely be rebooking with Halle in the future. I highly recommend her and Rover.”
“UTTERLY AMAZING!!! My pup got a little sick when I was gone and suzanne took AMAZING care of him, forever thankful for you!! She even vacuumed for me! Suzanne you are a Godsend and I would 10000% trust you with my baby again, thank you so much for everything. Suzanne went above and beyond!”
“My first time trying house sitting and Carly made me a HUGE fan. She followed all of my instructions and was so respectful of my home. She left my house exactly like I left it and even washed all of the guest bedding before she left. My dog, Echo, was so happy when I got home. She did so well with his shyness with strangers and sent me lots of updates. I will absolutely be using Carly again!”
“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”
“Kimberly did a great job caring for our 2 pups while we took a mini vacation. She stayed with them in our home overnight and when we returned the pups were happy and the house looked fabulous. We highly recommend her as someone trustworthy to care for your pup family members.”
“Kasie was wonderful and patient with my two kitties. She texted me every time she was come to and from the house. She sent pictures and updated me on their feedings. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Aleisa did a wonderful job taking care of my two boxers! They’re high energy and she handled their energy with ease. Kept the house spotless and cleaned up after herself. Couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.
About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.
About: I have life long years of experience with dog care :) I love all dogs as they were my own and am willing to give whatever extra care they need ! I have a free schedule on weeknights and weekends. Mon-Fridays. I can service through drop-ins, walks or one-night stays if needed...I can do weekends for a small extra fee Currently I cannot board! I am open to house sitting weekends or weeknight stays. I am available for frequent drop-ins as needed. I am very respectful of my client's spaces and will leave it exactly how I found it. I'll even gladly take the trash out :)
“Here’s a thoughtful review you can use: We couldn’t be happier with the care Chelbi provided for our four dogs while we were away overnight. Taking care of one dog can be a lot, but managing four and doing it so seamlessly speaks volumes about her patience, dedication, and love for animals. She kept us updated, followed all our instructions, and gave each dog the attention they needed. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, and our house was in perfect condition. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring to look after your pets, Chelbi is absolutely the one to trust. Highly recommend! Let me know if you’d like to personalize it further!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I always played a huge part in taking care of them as a kid. I now have a dog and three cats. I’m in a vet tech certification program and absolutely love animals. I have a very flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to give your pet lots of exercise and attention during my visits. I do drop-in visits, walking and daytime sitting. Each pet is different and wants different things from a sitter, so I take that into consideration. I’ll take care of all feeding, cleaning, potty breaks, and medications and then spend some quality time and provide exercise.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gladewater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gladewater on Rover is $53.93 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gladewater. 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 Gladewater 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 Gladewater 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 Gladewater 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 Gladewater. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
