“Hunter did a great job taking care of my dogs. They liked him from the moment he walked in the house, so I felt at ease leaving them in his care. Hunter kept me updated throughout the time with phone calls and texts. And he also cleaned up after them when one had an accident. I was pleased with the service. Highly recommended.”

About: hello there, I’ve worked in Animal control for over 5 years now. I started off as a shelter technician and I’m currently a vet technician. I can say I know my way of understanding an animals need/wants. Animals are very precious to me, this is my passion and I love being around all kinds of animals! I’m a full time vet technician working Wednesday-Saturday from 6am-5pm! On my days off I normally go out to find new adventures/activities with my animals, or I make sure I get important things completed. I currently live in a cottage with my own fenced backyard as well as shareable park with my neighbors. I love taking my dogs on walks to socialize with other dogs and people as well as getting exercise.
“Lauren is truly AMAZING. From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, calm, and patient with our dogs. She took the time to get to know them, understood their little quirks, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. She took them out regularly, kept us updated, and treated them with so much kindness that it felt like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“From the meet and greet through her stay with Lukas Alyssa was so good with him. She took him for walks, played with him and gave him lots of attention which he really likes. This was the first time someone other than a family member stayed with him and overall it went well. I will definitely use her service again. Thank you”
“Lindsey was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had. Needed to find someone to stay with our pup because she has a lot of anxiety being alone after losing her dog brother and we were very nervous about leaving her! Lindsey was thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, helpful and communicated with us throughout. Our dog felt comfortable with her within 5 minutes and we could tell from the photos that she felt safe with her. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.”
“Rachel did so well with my pups who need some special handling as they are both fosters working on building confidence with new people, situations, and with each other. I was nervous leaving them for a couple of days but Rachel communicated very well and managed everything perfectly! Highly recommend, will definitely have her again if she's able!”

“Amber was so proactive and attentive with our senior baby Maya!! Our girl usually struggles to warm up to strangers, but she made fast friends with Amber. We also received tons of pictures and videos while on a trip out of town. We'll be in touch again soon - thank you so much!!”
About: I have worked with animals a majority of my life. Whether it be dogs, cats, or even exotics, I have worked with a wide variety of creatures. This includes pet sitting, diet management, some training, daycare, and more. I also have 2 years of veterinary experience giving me an insight to recognize behaviors of all sorts of pets alike along with understanding how to work with them. I absolutely love pets, after all I love my own. I have about 7 of them myself including fur and scaled babies alike. My mornings usually start with them, and my nights end with them as well. With my two years of veterinary experience, I can recognize patterns that are out of the ordinary or are strange to the particular animal. This allows me to have proper knowledge of what to alert the pet parent to and ask if the behavior is normal for their babies while also keeping them updated to ensure that they are safe and taken care of.
“Mikayla was Awesome! She went above & beyond caring for everyone. I would not have been able to go away without her & the deep trust I felt with her staying in my home. Not once did I worry. She definitely will be my go to sitter I cannot say thank you enough Mikayla! 💜”
“If it wasn't for this nice lady we would not have been able to get away for some piece and tranquility for a few days. We desperately needed some time away from home. She was there when she said she would be there and spent the night with him in our home. Earle, our GSD loved her. He is quite high strung so it was imperative that he get along good with her. And he did. Oh he missed us a bunch and the welcome back from him was unbelievable, but we noticed him looking for Kimberly after we had been home for a few hours. We know who we will call from now on when we need to get away. Earle said so!”
About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!

The average cost of House Sitting in Godley is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $56 per night.

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 Godley 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 Godley 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 Godley 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.
