“Ashley took great care of my cat while I was away, including handling her medication and giving her lots of brushing and attention. She was very responsive in setting up the meet-and-greet and attentive to all instructions. She also left the guest room tidy and handled other details like putting out the trash can for pickup. I very much appreciate Ashley's help!”
“Jaedyn has home-sat our 3 little dogs twice now and can’t say enough good things about him. Most importantly, I know I can feel confident in their safety. He’s super fast to communicate and punctual. And also, this is a person who the dogs really just love to see. A++”
“Teri did a great job taking care of our animals while we were gone. We received many pictures of them over the weekend and never wondered or felt worried about how they were doing. She left our house just as clean and it was when she got there. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alyssa stayed the weekend with my labs at my house and I am so grateful for her help and respect of my home/schedule with the labs. She sent some pics to update me on the pups and was a great communicator. Came home to a house as clean as I left it and very happy labs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ally is a professional in every way! She is communicative and responsive, flexible, and took such good care of our animals and home while we were away! I got lots of pupdates and when we returned, our dog and rabbit were happy and relaxed, like we never left!! She also left the house clean and everything looked great. I would highly recommend Ally for pet/house sitting! 10/10!!!”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely the best! She was very respectful, responsive and caring. Our dog is older and needy, and Kaitlyn was patient and kind with her. Apparently the cats loved her too! I would recommend Kaitlyn without reservation. It is refreshing to find someone so responsible and trustworthy to care for our pets and home. We just moved to Canyon Lake and we were worried about finding a reliable pet sitter. We feel that we hit the jackpot with Kaitlyn!”
“Jan is an exceptional dog sitter!! From our very first meeting, I was very impressed as Jan arrived with a notepad and pen ready to take notes about our dogs and their routines. At that moment, I knew she was the right person to care for our three dogs. Jan has such a kind, loving and gental spirit. She was incredibly loving and caring with all of our dogs, especially our senior dog. She followed all of our instructions, was punctual, communicative, and truly went above and beyond our expectations. We were so happy with the care she provided that we've already booked her again for our trip in August, and we plan to use her for all of our future trips. I highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She is absolutely wonderful!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great! She spent two nights at our house and with our dog Finn. She stayed in contact and assured us that he was doing good. This made us feel very confident in our choice to use this app and we will definitely be contacting Emily again the next time we plan a trip or a short excursion.”
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's unique personality. With my second dog especially, I took an active role in training and behavior development, learning how to use positive reinforcement and establish routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. I regularly help friends by providing midday potty breaks and companionship for their dogs when they're at work or traveling. This has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and household routines. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's specific schedule, respect house rules, and provide the attention and exercise they're used to. I know that every dog is different - some need lots of playtime and stimulation, while others prefer quiet companionship. I'm comfortable with basic commands, can recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and always prioritize the pet's safety and well-being above all else. I currently work part-time, which gives me excellent flexibility for pet care services. I'm available every weekday after 3pm and have full availability on weekends. This schedule works perfectly for dog walks, evening pet visits, and weekend pet sitting when families are traveling. My part-time work arrangement means I can be consistent and reliable with your pet's routine. Whether you need daily walks, midday check-ins, or weekend care, I can accommodate regular schedules and provide the consistency that pets thrive on. I'm also available for last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand that pets need care even when their families are working full days, and my afternoon and weekend availability is ideal for busy pet parents who want to ensure their furry family members get attention and exercise while they're away. During pet check-ins, I focus on making sure each animal gets the individual attention and care they need. I always let dogs spend as much time outside as they want - whether that's a quick potty break or a longer play session in the yard. I pay attention to their energy level and preferences that day. I believe quality time is just as important as meeting basic needs, so I make sure to engage with each pet through play, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For more active dogs, I'm happy to take them on short walks during my visit to give them extra exercise and mental stimulation. I follow the specific instructions and routines that pet parents provide, but I also adapt to what the pet seems to need in the moment. Some days they might want to play fetch, other days they just want someone to sit with them. I always make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and that they seem comfortable and content before I leave. I provide updates to pet parents so they know how their furry family member is doing, including any highlights from our time together.
About: I believe every animal is someone's loved one and a cherished part of the family. That's why I treat every animal I meet with the same love and care I'd want for my own. Whether I’m stopping by to keep your loved one company or taking them on a hike with me for an adventure, I promise to keep your family member safe, happy and loved! I’ve taken care of many types of animals as I grew up on a ranch with many dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats around. I have trained numerous dogs throughout my childhood and have loved every single one along the way. I have pet sat for many family members and friends, keeping the pets routine the same in order to make them comfortable and happy. I now have my own tabby kitten that I’m obsessed with, which my partner and I are currently trying to adventure train. I am currently writing my Master’s thesis and working from home so I have a lot of flexibility on when I work. I can make my own hours and work around when you need me! I’ll adapt to however you need help with your pet, since I have helped with so many types of animals, I know they all have their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ll follow your lead on how to care for your animal!
“Nicole has been such an amazing sitter we went to seven feathers for my grandma’s birthday and she just amazes me she is just the best person to have at ur house watch your animals I would recommend her to anybody!! I’m so happy I never had to get a pet sitter but we were just blown away with her and her service the way she just handled everything was amazing! 100/100 couldn’t be happier with her service!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ she’s just so uplifting and has such great energy thank you Nicole for everything”
About: I have had dogs and pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I am especially comfortable with senior dogs, as my own dog is 17 years old, so I understand the patience, attention, and extra care older dogs may need. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, sticking to routines, or simply keeping pets company, I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. My classes are limited to Tuesdays from 11 AM–12 PM and 4 PM–5 PM, and Thursdays from 11 AM–12 PM, which leaves me available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care most days. I am able to work pet care easily into my daily routine and enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or providing extra attention for senior pets and pets with specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and each pet’s individual needs to make sure they are happy and secure while you are away. I am especially patient with senior pets and understand the extra care and attentiveness they may require. I also believe in keeping pet owners updated with communication and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Kelly went so above and beyond with our animals, we are so grateful we found her! She spent time with each and every one of our animals making sure they all felt comfortable. We won’t be going with any other sitter if we can help it in the future.”
“Paula sent us pictures of our pup while we were away which we loved. Our house was clean and in order when we got home. We have booked with Paula before and she has always been great!”
“Carly did great with all 3 dogs! She stayed over and made sure each dog had their own time and attention. She also sent pictures of my happy dogs! Totally trusted her with my dogs and our house and would absolutely do it again!!”
About: I am a remote worker with extra time available. I grew up with labs and Shih Tzus as well as cats. I've been dog sitting for the past 8 years and have done volunteer camps at the Willamette Humane Society. I am pretty flexible this summer for house sitting, dog walking, or drop ins. I can feed, walk, play with, cuddle, or even bathe your dog! I'm an animal lover and would be fine with other pets at the house, too. Watching and caring for dogs, cats or other pets is something I love to do on its own, aside from it being a "job." This would be a great way to spend my time. I am currently working part time, so will have time most days for drop ins, walks, etc. I am also available some weekends, as well. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home. If your pet is friendly, then it could be an option for them to come stay at my house.
“Isa did the most amazing job taking care of my fur babies! She sent me tons of pictures and is a wonderful communicator. I swear I came home and my house was cleaner than I left it and my babies looked so well cared for. I definitely recommend Isa as a pet sitter and will be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Kaylee was fabulous house/pet sitting with our 2 dogs and 4 cats for four days. Followed instructions to the ‘T’ and went above beyond; very communicative and reassuring.”
“Abby was responsible and trustworthy. She took good care of our young and energetic dog, taking her on walks and play dates with other dogs. We arrived home from a week out of town and the house and yard had been well cared for. I would recommend her and would be happy to employ her again down the road.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Harris
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harris. 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 Harris 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 Harris 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 Harris 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 Harris. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
