Matthew was incredible with our pup, Lupe! We were a bit nervous to leave her with someone that wasn't already a close friend, but Lupe took to Matthew instantly. He sent us regular updates so that we could see how well he was caring for her, and when we returned, it was evident that he had kept up with her training without our asking. We would not hesitate to book Matthew again, and neither should you!

Justin was absolutely the best. He sent so many pictures told me what they were doing (my pup beau) even moved my flowers out of the sun as it was so hot he said they were dying stripped the bed and washed the sheets before he left. House was neat and most of all Beau looked great. Thank you Justin

About: Greetings! I am a true lover of ALL animals. Especially Dogs and Cats💕 I owned my beloved cat Tigger for 13 wonderful years, and now I have a furry “brother” named Chance, a fun-loving Jack Russell Terrier who completely steals my heart! I love visiting him, taking him on walks, cuddling, playing, and of course enjoying all those happy oxytocin-filled moments. He literally goes crazy when I walk through the door! 🐶 What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love, attention, and care I give to every animal. I don’t just “watch” pets — I spend quality time with them, play with them, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I will: Feed and care for your pet responsibly Take dogs on walks and give them exercise Play, cuddle, and provide companionship Keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean Treat your pet like family I also have a lot of experience caring for children, so being nurturing, patient, dependable, and attentive comes naturally to me. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, fun, compassionate, and truly enjoys animals, your pets will LOVE having me as their sitter! 🐾✨ Right now, My brother Chance and my besties Dog Nikki who I case around ( or she chase me around every chance I get! I don't have a daily pet routine N/A I donot care for pets in my home. Should someone desperately need cat care I will try to accommodate. ( I'm more than happy to help)

Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!

Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.

Madison was great with our dog Denver during a weekend housesit — we were glad to get updates and photos and were glad to come home to a happy fluffy boy afterwards! Our dog can be reactive with other dogs so we were appreciative of the care she took on walks with him.

At the risk of writing such a glowing review that Jennifer becomes so popular that she's no longer available to watch our boys, I have to say having her pet sit was an across the board excellent experience. Our prior sitter bailed on us last minute and Jennifer came through with professionalism on very short notice. She came very prepared and took notes on how we like to have things done. The photos she sent every few days of our trip made us very comfortable with the level of care our boys were receiving and made it clear how much they enjoyed her company. I think it's safe to say they are still missing her! I highly recommend hiring Jennifer, and look forward to doing so again soon!

Thank you so much to Joanna! I came home to happy and relaxed pups, who received thoughtful care and loving attention. My home was spotless. Joanna provided me with great communication, updates and pictures throughout her stay. We are so extremely grateful because Joanna was able to step in at the last minute. We would definitely recommend her, and I hope to be able to book her as a sitter again.

About: I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I treat every pet with the same patience and kindness I would want for my own two fur babies. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands. Pictures and updates will be provided, so you can have consistent peace of mind. Im currently at home due to it being summer break so I have a lot of free time for the time being. I am very flexible when it comes to time and last minute bookings for the next two months. I have two handsome boys of my own Teddy(12) and Vader (4). I do not have a fenced in yard so they love going out on simple walks, big hikes, lakes, the beach and going to the park. With previous clients I would bring their pups with us as well or just keep them in their own neighborhood and in their routines to make sure they’re always happy and comfortable, It’s definitely all up to the parents.

Since each pet is different, I personalize their care based on their needs, breed, personality, and comfort level. Boarding is my preferred service to offer. Selecting this option is discounted, and my availability is more flexible 🌸🌼 Schedule I work full time so my boarding services are perfect for pets who are used to a working household.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I now have an amazing female golden retriever who is very docile and sweet with all dogs (as long as they are not aggressive with her). She is truly awesome-Just like your guy or girl! We love having animals in our home, playing, walking and hanging out. I have been hosting dogs in my home for over a year now. I’m a mom who is home so I have a flexible schedule. Ideally I’m looking to host a dog 2-5 days a week during the day/early evening. Leave your pet with me and guarantee they will be happy, well taken care of and having lots of fun! My home is a friendly, clutter free, safe and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in yard for potty breaks in between our walks and we have a lot of fun playing and relaxing in the house

About: I have worked with young puppies and senior dogs. I have provided injections and oral medications. I make sure to learn about each dogs preference because like humans they are all different! I currently work a full time job. I am available in the evening hours from 6pm-10pm. On the weekends I am more flexible with my scheduling. I am available to house sit Saturdays and Sundays, just shoot me a message to schedule in advance! I can do drop in visits almost every day, it’s a little hard to make your schedule with rover - if anything please feel free to send me a message to discuss needs and scheduling :) I would hope to create a comfortable walking environment for your little one to enjoy. I stick to your normal walking routes to ease your pets into good walking sessions. At drop in visits I monitor your pet and take time to play with them as well.

I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.

Kriti was wonderful with my sweet rescue, Ruby. She is very professional, competent, and I was comfortable leaving Ruby in her care! I loved the videos and photos she sent. In addition, the house was in perfect shape on my return! I highly recommend Kriti!

Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. She came a few days ahead of the scheduled job for a meet and greet. She arrived last evening right on time, followed all directions for care and was very pleasant to work with. We’ll hire her again! PS— we tipped her when we arrived home before she left.

FAQs for House Sitting - Harlingen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Harlingen on Rover is $54.25 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 2,809 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harlingen. 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 Harlingen 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 Harlingen 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 Harlingen 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 Harlingen. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
