“11/10. Jaime was amazing with our dogs. She sent so many photos and updates we were able to relax knowing they were well taken care of. Great at communicating and overall exactly the kind of sitter we were looking for!”
“Jaydin was absolutely amazing, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. Most importantly, my dogs loved her, and that says a lot because they are not always the easiest with new people. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated, and followed all of our instructions and house routines perfectly, which meant so much to me. Knowing my babies were comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I was away gave me real peace of mind. I would trust her again in a heartbeat to stay in my home and care for my dogs. There honestly aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am. Thank you for everything, Jaydin!”
“Heidi was fantastic! She followed all instructions & had great communication. She cared for my fur babies as if they were her own. She was very respectful of our house during the sit. I would absolutely recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Right it was wonderful. She communicated very well. Kept me up to date on what was going on with the cats. And I have a lot of cats. She truly seemed to care and took good care of them.”
“Stacey was so great with all of our fur babies! She was punctual and followed our detailed instructions. We enjoyed the picture updates and came home to happy dogs and cats! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Billie was great! Fast responding and reliable. My Birdie loved spending the weekend with her. I can tell that she was good to my girl and gave her all the extra love and attention she needed.”
“We had a great experience with Maricella watching our dogs. She was extremely communicative throughout the entire time, keeping us updated regularly and giving us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.”

About: Welcome! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my profile. I know this is a lot to read, but I want to be as transparent as possible so you know exactly what to expect when trusting me with your beloved pets. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience for both you and your fur baby. Before booking, I do have one important policy to help keep all pets safe and healthy. For the well being of my own pets, your pets, and every animal in my care, I cannot accept bookings for pets with contagious illnesses or active parasite infestations. This includes conditions such as canine parvovirus (parvo), kennel cough, canine influenza, ringworm, mange, fleas, ticks, and other contagious fungal or infectious diseases. If your pet is currently sick with a contagious condition, I kindly ask that you wait until they've fully recovered before requesting a booking. Thank you so much for understanding and helping me maintain a safe environment for every pet I care for. ❤️ Now, a little about me! I have extensive experience caring for dogs, and my commitment to their well-being comes from a genuine love for pets of every breed, size, age, and personality. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether they're energetic, shy, senior, or have special needs, I'll care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I give my own pets. I've had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently have three dogs of my own Chanel, Dobby, and Astrid and I also regularly help care for my parents' nine rescue dogs, whose sizes range from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. This has given me hands on experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and care needs. One thing that sets me apart is that I am certified in American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid, giving me the knowledge to recognize emergency situations, provide immediate first aid when appropriate, and respond calmly while seeking veterinary care. While I hope to never need these skills, I believe being prepared is one of the best ways to keep pets safe. I have cared for pets that are blind, deaf, diabetic, have arthritis, experience seizures, are recovering from injuries or have limited mobility. I understand the extra patience, attention, and consistency these pets require, and I'm committed to making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. I also have experience administering medications, following specialized care routines, monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health, and communicating those changes promptly with pet owners. I know how important it is to maintain your pet's normal routine, and I'll always follow your instructions carefully. My love for animals goes beyond simply watching them. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive playtime, learning new tricks, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll provide personalized care tailored to their unique personality and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel like they're spending time with a trusted friend while giving you complete peace of mind through regular updates and photos. When your pet is with me, they're treated like family.💕🐾 Pet care is a part of my everyday life, it isn't something I have to squeeze into my schedule. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I make time for it every single day. My own dogs are my family, and I make sure they're always up to date on their vaccinations, receive high quality food (they honestly eat better than I do!), get plenty of daily exercise, mental enrichment, and lots of love and attention. I enjoy taking my dogs on walks, exploring new places, and practicing fun tricks to keep them mentally and physically engaged. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I'll always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, leisurely walks, medication, frequent potty breaks, or simply a companion to keep them company, I'm committed to providing the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to make their time away from you feel as comfortable and stress free as possible. I understand that pets feel safest in familiar surroundings, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, positive experience. I will treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s environment clean and organized, and make sure they have everything they need during my visits. I pay close attention to details such as secure doors and gates, safe walking conditions, and any areas or items that may need to be avoided. During visits, I focus on providing a safe and comfortable environment through companionship, supervision, enrichment, and consistency. I also keep open communication with regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while you are away.
“Maya was an excellent sitter. My dog is not used to people she doesn't know. Maya was patient and had her cuddling up to her in no time. She was on time and took care of everthing. I would definatly ask for her again.”
“Cassandra and Branden were absolutely amazing!! Our fur babies loved them and they took great care of them while we were gone. I really appreciated all the updates, videos, and pictures. It helped ease our stress while we were gone. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them!!”
About: I have a genuine appreciation for any animal that moves with honesty. During my high school years, I had the privilege of residing on a ranch and working as an assistant at a no-kill animal shelter during my weekends. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in business management with a specialization in real estate at Central Texas College. I am scheduled to take the exam next fall. I can offer you my services to make your life easier with trust and commitment. I’m a reliable communicator who will keep you updated on your pet’s well-being while you’re away. I enjoy walks and have a gated backyard. I’m currently renting a house with a roommate who is understanding and loves animals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harker Heights
Heidi was amazing! We were very nervous leaving our dogs home for a longer period of time for the first time. Heidi took the time to come over several times before the trip to meet with the dogs and ease everyone's anxiety. The dogs were so comfortable with her. She sent video and pictures to keep us up to date and smiling. The dogs were so happy, I don't think they missed us one bit. She took care of the house as well, which really helped when we returned home late. We will be using her again for sure! Thank you for taking such great care of our babies.
Maya is incredible! She checked on our fur babies so many times and took excellent care of them. I never had to worry about them because I knew she was there and checking on them frequently. She kept me updated on everything and sent so many pictures. Will definitely rebook in the future!
Mackenzie was a fantastic sitter! She communicated all throughout her stay & she made us feel completely comfortable leaving her alone in our home with our animals for the weekend. She was 100% devoted to our animal's care & followed all feeding guidelines & give medication without issue. All the animals, pups and cats, loved her - Gerorgia even gave a little whine when her new best friend had to leave! 😂 We will absolutely be using her services again. 5⭐️'s Highly recommended!
Honestly, Olivia was wonderful! She accepted my last minute request after my original sitter canceled on me. She fit my babies around her busy schedule and took great care of them. Lots of pictures and communication. My trip got delayed about 4hr due to the gov shut down and she came back home to feed the dogs because we weren't going to make it earlier. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided! Thank you!!
I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! She is a seasoned professional, a master of her craft and so good with your fur babies. She meets you and them first to establish a rapport and follows up during her stay so you know they are in good hands. For the first time I had peace of mind on my trip. Will be booking her again soon!

FAQs for House Sitting - Harker Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harker Heights on Rover is $66.6 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 659 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harker Heights. 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 Harker Heights 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 Harker Heights 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 Harker Heights 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 Harker Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
