“Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!”
“Wonderful house and dog sitter. First time using Sharla and will be using her again. She sent pictures and kept us updated. One of our dogs likes to escape through the fence and Sharla went out of her way to block his attempt and keep him safe.”
About: Hi, I’m Madelyn!, Your Friendly Neighborhood Pet Sitter! With a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, I make sure your furry (or feathered!) family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and furry friends of any kind of size! I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs—feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Trustworthy, punctual, and detail-oriented, I aim to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s make your time apart from your pet as stress-free as possible—for both of you! 🐶 🦴 🐱🩵🦜🦴🐓💙🐴 Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I schedule time specifically for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins with the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I structure my day around my clients’ needs to ensure consistency and reliability. I treat each pet like they’re part of my own family, so spending time with them doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. On a weekly basis, I also stay in touch with pet owners to confirm schedules, provide updates, and adjust care plans if needed. My routine is flexible but always built around providing the highest level of attention, safety, and affection to every animal I care for. In clients’ homes, or my own I follow their pet’s routine—feeding, walks, play, meds, and cleanup—ensuring comfort, safety, and love in a familiar, stress-free environment..🐶👍🏡🐾
“Robin helped us with our 10 month old puppy today and we were very satisfied. She even helped us with training! Grace was in good spirits after she left and very content. Thank you!”
“Sheyenne did an amazing job watching our chewie. When we returned chewie was in great shape, happy and very well cared for. Sheyenne provided us daily updates, photos and videos and left our house in better shape than when we left for vacation. We will be a repeat customer for sure and highly recommend Sheyenne.”
“We are new to the area so we are very nervous about leaving our pets with someone we did not know. But James did absolutely amazing job! It was amazing to know our pets were well taken care of and happy in their own home. We will for sure be asking James to come and sit with our pets again!”

About: I had plenty of dogs. I love dogs of all kinds. Unfortunately cant have any right now. Will play with them walk them when I can. I have a full time job but can check on them during my break. Im working full time 40+ hours a week. I can check on them during my breaks, and on my days off i stay with them all day. We currently don't have any pets. We don't have a fence in yard and live close to a highway where most people drive like crazy.
“Charlene was even more amazing the second time around when we asked her to house sit last minute. She kept our dogs entertained, well taken care of and our house exactly how we left it- clean! 😁 she is so great with my large dog who has separation anxiety and sent me tons of photos and videos of him having a great time which made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be contacting her again for all of my house/dog sitting needs while we’re away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the longest time. I grew up with all different kinds of dogs and cats, I’m very well experienced. I currently work every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday but when I get off work I’m available. I’m also available on the days I do not work, I do have a baby so hopefully you don’t mind if he tags along! I have a crate, I do live in an apartment so dogs who bark and whine will not be allowed due to past experiences. I can only have them in my home for a night or two, they must be good with other dogs, kids, and men.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child starting with dogs and eventually cats,birds,reptiles,fish and others and love every second hanging out with my pet pals and giving them a trustworthy friend they can rely on I am a touring musician and outside of my tour schedule I have loads of free time to cater to the needs of any and all pets I myself have two inside dogs my corgi/shepherd mix named rocket and my miniature dachshund named Dobbie they have a big two acre fenced in yard to play in i also have a sun conure who enjoys his large cage but appreciates his outside time as well
“First time rover user and i was pretty nervous. Not about rover specifically but just leaving my dog in general. My anxiety was high to say the least. BUT thankfully I was lucky enough to book Charlayne who eased all my nerves and treated my dog with such care! So thankful for her and will absolutely be using her again in the future! Highly recommend her!!!!”
“Karen is amazing! Every one of our dogs love her - even the two grumpy old men :) She was patient and kind and let the shy ones come around slowly - the others trusted her immediately. Karen was conscientious about our home and cleaned up all the messes! We will definitely ask Karen to come back :)”
“This was my first time allowing someone into my house to take care of my babies, Tiffany took the time to come for an interview she answer all my questions and understood my concerns, she house sitter for 7 days during that time she send me pictures of my babies and keep me informed . I would use her again and recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my chocolate lab along with the help of my parents, albeit we have had some issues just as every pet parent we still manage to get through everything and have a great time! It’s part time and my own hours so i can manage to make things work freely with me personally, that make things a lot easier for me as well considering I am tackling college! At my house we have a fence that keeps our dog in or we let him stay inside. It all depends on what the dog feels more comfortable with and I’m more than willing to help accommodate them.
“NeTia was a fantastic pet/house sitter! She came to my home before her job began to allow the dogs to familiarize themselves with her. Both of my dogs, even my very scared/shy dog, immediately took to NeTia. I believe they noticed her calm presence and felt at ease. I got pictures and consistent feedback from NeTia! I never worried about how the animals were doing! She did a great job with the pets, communication, and keeping the house clean. She even washed, dried, and folded the towels she used! :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gun Barrel City
Erica is wonderful! She watched our Great Dane ~ Zero, over the weekend! We had some family emergency events during our trip with our son’s Dane and it set us back a few hours. She offered to stay with Zero as long as it took extra, knowing what we were going through. Erica consistently sent loads of pictures and messages of their days together throughout each day! We feel extremely blessed to have found such a wonderful sitter to our big boy and completely understanding of his crazy personality and stubborn needs. We will definitely be booking with Erica plenty more times in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gun Barrel City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gun Barrel City on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gun Barrel City. 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 Gun Barrel City 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 Gun Barrel City 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 Gun Barrel City 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
