“Lacey was responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, observant and so incredibly kind! She took the best care of our 3 fur babies while we were away! She went above and beyond and prioritized the care of our animals the entire time. Our pets will be so excited to see her again the next time we are away.”
About: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Since I’m able to bring my schoolwork with me, I can comfortably spend extended time in your home while still keeping up with my studies and, most importantly, providing your pets with companionship and care. The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routines and your specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.
About: My family worked with the Texas GSP rescue for 15 years, fostering an average of 2-3 dogs a year ever since I was 5 years old. I have also trained and cared for my families dogs every since I was old enough to do so. In my senior year of high school, I interned at a veterinarian clinic and worked at a veterinarian clinic in Lubbock. I am currently taking online college classes over the summer so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I am currently not able to board pets in my home so as of right now I will not be able to provide this service
About: My family has cared for animals since I was young. I interned during high school at a veterinary clinic and now I have a job at a household pets boarding facility. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I get the chance to allow the furry pet I am walking and myself to destress on a fun walk I keep an I out on all pets because of the experience I have with all of the animals I take care of trying to eat something off the floor I did not catch first and r when they try to nibble on furniture. I like to work mental stimulation on my dog when I notice they are getting angsty.
“I cannot thank Kamila enough for the work that she provided me in caring for my dogs. Kamila is an amazing professional. She is very skilled in caring for animals and she projects an aura of professionalism that there is no need for any level of concern for the pet or the property. I left home totally confident that everything was going to ok. When I returned, she had not only done the contracted work but had gone above and beyond. Thank you very, very much!”
“Tyler absolutely saved the day when we had an issue with another sitter. She was responsive, professional, and went above and beyond for our pets. Could not recommend enough!”
“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!”
About: Hi, i'm a dog sitter/owner. I have cared for many animals over the years. I’ve grown up with multiple family dogs, we had 5 at one point. We also had goats, cats, and a bird. I worked at a kennel which included caring for dogs and cats. I also did dog grooming. I love animals and would never harm them in any way. All my fur babies are spoiled with love and affection. You can be at peace knowing that your loved one will be given lots of love and care when they're with us. We recently moved here from Oklahoma and we have two sweet, energetic German Shepherds that love to play! I will go on walks with your dog and mine. We have a nice sized yard. We can play fetch or they can run around as they please. Every morning I snuggle with my dogs and play with them throughout the day. I give my dogs lots of love and they are always so excited for when I get home. I will treat your loved one as I do my own! They will have plenty of potty breaks and playtime outdoors. I will feed separately to avoid any altercations. At times I’ve seen dogs be too nervous the first couple of nights to eat their food, so I try to help calm them and entice them to eat with a yummy treat. Usually does the trick! I am available to play with and care for your pet(s) on the weekdays and on the weekends any time of the day. They will get plenty of stimulation during their stay and I’m sure they will be sleeping the whole way home! I would treat your pets the way I treat mine. Lots of love and attention! I do not mind spending time brushing your dog or cat, going on walks and playing with toys. I will stick to any desired feeding schedule as well.

“Annelise took great care of our pups and our home, especially considering a hurricane popped up while we were out. They always seemed happy and comfortable in pictures and videos. We looks forward to having Annelise again.”
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with barn cats and have cared for dogs since childhood, giving me real experience and a natural, loving approach to pet care.

“She was wonderful!!! Very personable with my lab, Panini! I could tell Panini liked her at the meet and greet. She took great care of her and was great with communication. Highly recommend”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had pets in my home since I was a child. I truly love all animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. ❤️ I currently have my own dog, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved. I started dog sitting for family members around age 15, caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight stays. This gave me hands on experience maintaining routines and understanding different pet personalities. I am also comfortable administering basic medications such as oral pills and topical treatments, always following owner instructions carefully. I worked at PetSmart as a dog bather, where I gained experience safely bathing dogs, handling different coat types, and keeping pets calm and comfortable during grooming. This helped me develop patience, gentle handling skills, and the ability to read animal behavior. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. 🐶🐱🫶🏻 I work full time, but I’m available for weekday walks and weekend pet sitting when you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away. 🩷 A typical day in my care is calm, relaxed, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending time with them throughout the day, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. 🥹 I make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also take time for enrichment and exercise, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or engaging them with toys. For pets who enjoy it, I also offer plenty of affection and cuddles, while always respecting their boundaries and letting them set the pace. My goal is to create a safe, low stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and cared for. ❤️

“Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.”
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hacienda Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 425 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hacienda Acres. 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 Hacienda Acres 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 Hacienda Acres 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 Hacienda Acres 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.
