About: My name is Haylee. I have had a love for animals all my life, ever since I got my first cat when I was six. I have pet-sitted and owned many pets over the years and I appreciate them all so much. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and reptiles. I am currently in long distance college classes, so I am able to come visit during the day. I am freely available to visit during work hours and take care of your pet. I care for the pet in the way laid out in your instructions! Making sure they walk and get their medicine and play as needed. I don't feed or give any snacks not expressly allowed by the owner!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for senior dogs who needed medications, softened food, extra patience, and gentle handling to keep them comfortable. I understand how important routines are, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any special care they need. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I work full-time as a Certified Surgical Technologist at Baylor Surgicare and am also a nursing student, so I understand the importance of responsibility, time management, and sticking to a routine. I’m off every Thursday and have the most availability on weekends since I don’t work then. Caring for pets fits well into my schedule, and I enjoy spending my free time walking, playing with, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, care, and updates while you’re away. When caring for your dog in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any special requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior dogs that require medications and softened food, so I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've always had animas since I was young! All breeds of dogs, cats, hamsters, and we even had 5 llamas!! I've watched over several of my neighbor's dogs and dogs of all ages.

“Kaylan took such good care of our 4 pups over the weekend. She gave us true peace of mind while being away. She sent us lots of great pictures of our pups too. We really appreciate the great care she gave our fur babies and our home.”
“Peggy was wonderful! She was so sweet and patient with our little goofballs. Both dogs and the house were very well cared for. We would definitely recommend Peggy to others and will book her again for sure👍🏻👍🏻”
“Excellent work ethics and attitude. Very attentive to the pets and details. I would gladly hire Sofia again to dog / house sit. Sofia goes over and aboard what’s required snd communicated well with us.. she was able to handle our 3 dogs and cat very well and they love her— i can tell. I highly recommend her.”
“Sarah was communicative and kind. She met with us before our trip to see our home and meet our dog, and clearly gave her lots of love while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Literally the BEST! It was my first time ever getting a sitter for my tortoise, she did amazing with him. She asked questions and went above and beyond for my little guy! She even sent pictures so I could see he was doing well; definitely a 10/10 person and 20/10 service!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in Ann’s care!! She kept me updated consistently and seemed to really care about my pups!! She also left the house in great condition. Can’t say enough good things about the experience!”
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“J was terrific with our dog, Jackie. They took excellent care of her and sent regular updates and photos. We were so happy to have them stay in our home and not have to board our dog.”
“Cady has been such a savior for us and we cannot say enough good things about her! My pup had an injury and less than 10 hours from when we had to leave we needed someone to care for her 24/7 as she could not walk properly and was in pain. Cady responded immediately and even made time in her schedule for a quick visit so we could all get acquainted. She went above and beyond for our pup even helping us communicate with the vet and get medication. She gave her the attention and care she needed and helped nurse her back to her normal self. It broke our heart leaving our pup in that state but Cady was constantly checking in and providing updates and being flexible with our pups need. I will be thankful for how she stepped in so last minute and provided top tier care and will definitely be contacting her and recommending her to care for any furry friends!”

Melissa did a great job of taking care of our dogs! She went above and beyond to take care of them- taking them on walks, spending lots of time with them, etc. She was also great at communication and letting us know via message and pictures how our dogs were doing. Thank you Melissa!
I had a very hectic booking due to moving right before my trip was starting and a flight delay on the way back, but Yvette was communicative and flexible throughout it all. My senior dog has some special health needs, but he and my apartment seemed well cared for while I was gone. Thank you again for taking care of Olaf, I would be happy to book again in the future! :)
Shelbi was absolutely amazing while we were away for 10 days. She took incredible care of our dogs and our home, kept us updated, and gave us real peace of mind the entire trip. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Coming home to happy dogs and everything in perfect shape made the end of vacation so much easier. We would 100% book with Shelbi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Haltom City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Haltom City on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,389 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Haltom 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 Haltom 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 Haltom 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 Haltom 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.

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.
