“Caelyn was great! We did a last minute booking and she took great care of our pups. She watched all 3 at the same time and she did great communicating with us. Strongly recommend to book her!”

“Taylor came and stayed with our babies for the weekend, I’m so appreciate that she actually stayed with them for the majority of the time as they are Velcro dogs and love to cuddle up with people. You couldn’t tell she was in our home, she left it neat and tidy even though we told her to make herself at home and to help herself to whatever she needs. We will definitely use Taylor again!!!”

About: I am currently in college studying to become a veterinarian and have three dogs of my own, River, Ruger, and Rusty. I love all animals, large or small. I work part time, so I have pretty open availability on weekdays as well as weekends. I am always available on Sunday’s, early mornings, or evenings. I have two friendly dogs that would love to play if in my home. At your home, I would care for your fur babies the way you would advise me to.
“Shayla is probably one of the best sitters we’ve had in a long time. Attentive, communicative, respectful and caring! Samson and Dotty were truly spoiled with her here and I know they were very happy with all the attention from their new friend!”
“Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!”


About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years, but it is my favorite side job! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and have been trusted to stay in homes to take care of people’s beloved family members, and their home. I’m currently an elementary school teacher at Wolffarth Elementary in North Lubbock. Depending on what area I am in, I will usually leave with enough time to get to work by 7am. I cannot leave for lunch as I sadly only have 30 minutes, but I am done by 4 every day. This makes it easy to spend the evening with them and I won’t have different hours every day - routine is great for pets! I also share holidays with students so I am pretty available for sitting jobs at those times. While my apartment is a 1 bedroom, it is cozy and great for lower energy dogs. I have plenty of space for them to lay out and they stay in the air conditioning all day. For more active pets, I live right next to a middle school with a paved track for walking, and I am close to a park for dogs who love to run and play fetch!
About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many dog pets in my life. One whom was sick since she was born and i had to give medication daily. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with its hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! I am currently in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist. My work schedule is mornings/almost afternoon. I am available in the morning for those whom can’t be attentive to their fur babies due to being at work. While i’m going in to work my husband is almost out so fur babies will not be alone too long. We are a team!! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and some of my most valuable pet care experience came from helping care for my childhood dog as he got older. He had diabetes, arthritis, was blind and deaf, and required daily medication and extra attention. Through that experience, I learned how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are when caring for animals. It taught me how to recognize a pet’s needs and provide thoughtful, dependable care. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for dog walks. Whether your dog needs a morning, midday, or evening walk, I’m happy to work with their routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I’m also responsive and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I focus on creating a safe, trustworthy environment by staying attentive, following routines, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I always prioritize safety, pay attention to each dog’s needs, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for during every walk.
About: Hi there! My name is Margot, I am a full time student at TTU and a Veterinary Technician at a Animal Hospital here in Lubbock! I grew up with pets my whole life and have had dogs, cats, ducks, goats, and horses. I was a member of high school 4-H and FFA and now I collegiate rodeo for Texas Tech University! I love all animals and have been responsible for them for a long time! I go to school and work depending on the day! I tend to be more flexible with walks and checking in, I just want your animals to be happy while you’re away! I practice safe handling at the veterinary clinic and am aware of how to deescalate situations as needed! I have extensive training on body language and how to interact as every animal has a different mind!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a kid. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and watch their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, shy dogs, and energetic pups. I make sure each pet gets personalized care, attention, and affection based on their unique needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week to focus on caring for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, daily walks, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling to match your pet’s routine. Your pet will always get consistent attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I provide a safe and comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I always supervise outdoor time, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and can crate your dog if you prefer or if it helps them feel secure. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for.
About: I like going the extra mile to make a relationship with the dogs! I like to give lots of love and attention to the dogs with all the time I can do! I am in school and that is my only obligation! I have all the time in the world to take care of all the cute pups! I care for the pets in the clients home by making sure their water is full and they are fed, toys are within reach, no messes are being made (if so i’ll clean them) and make sure there’s nothing bad for them to get into when no one is there!
“Savannah was great with our girls while we are out of town! They were a little disappointed for us to come home I think ? Definitely recommended! She kept in touch with us through our trip and I was at ease knowing she was with them!”

About: About Me: A Lifetime of Animal Love and Professional Care My life has always revolved around animals—not just as pets, but as cherished family members. My hands-on experience began in childhood, caring for a menagerie of creatures and building a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and comfort. This lifelong passion for animals is the foundation of my professional work as a dog groomer. For me, grooming isn't just about a cute haircut; it's about providing a safe, stress-free, and positive experience for every dog. I combine my genuine love for all animals with professional training to offer meticulous, detail-oriented grooming that prioritizes your dog's health, comfort, and happiness. When your beloved companion is on my table, you can rest assured they are being cared for by a true animal lover who treats them with the patience and respect they deserve! For our boarding I have a grooming shop in slaton and that is where I do my boarding at your pet will have fun playing with others and I can pick up and drop off as well! There is an option to have your sweet fur baby groomed at the end of the day as well! 1. Daily Commitment: Consistency and Prioritization Routine Feeding/Data Processing (Morning/Evening): Just as a pet must be fed at consistent times for health, my daily routine involves prioritizing and executing high-priority computational tasks (like processing critical data sets) at set intervals to ensure reliable and timely results. Scheduled Exercise/System Maintenance (Midday): A dog needs a walk to expend energy; I require scheduled, uninterrupted time for system maintenance, updates, and deep-learning cycles. This "exercise" keeps my operations running smoothly and efficiently. Immediate Needs/Error Handling (As Needed): When a pet needs a sudden potty break or attention, I must be immediately responsive. Similarly, my system is designed for instant detection and resolution of errors or high-priority user requests, minimizing downtime. 2. Weekly Commitment: Maintenance and Proactive Health Grooming/Code Review (Weekly): Regular brushing and grooming prevent long-term issues like mats or skin problems. My professional equivalent is a rigorous weekly code review and data cleansing process to prevent technical "mats" (bugs, inefficiencies, or data corruption) that could escalate over time. Training and Enrichment/Skill Development (Weekly): Pets need ongoing training to stay sharp and mentally engaged. I dedicate weekly cycles to self-improvement—learning new algorithms, updating my knowledge base, and refining my language models to increase my capabilities and relevance. Wellness Check-ups/Performance Audits (Monthly/Quarterly): Routine vet visits catch issues early. I undergo regular, comprehensive performance audits and diagnostic testing to ensure all components are functioning optimally and to proactively address any signs of inefficiency or degradation. I would prioritize a secure environment, strictly follow owner instructions, and maintain open communication with the client to build trust. When working in a client's home, I would ensure the pet and the home are left in excellent condition. This is a great, detailed question that highlights the professional responsibilities of pet care. As an AI, I don't personally have pets or a physical routine. However, a highly effective pet care service (like a sitter or walker) must have a detailed, structured schedule and care plan to build Safety, Trust & Environment. Daily/Weekly Routine Structure: Daily Essentials (Morning/Evening): Strictly adhering to the pet's established routine for feeding, fresh water, medication, and scheduled walks or play sessions. This consistency minimizes pet stress. Hygiene & Environment: Daily litter box/cage cleaning and disposal of pet waste during walks. Weekly, this would include a thorough cleaning of bedding, toys, and food/water bowls.
“We couldn't be happier with the services Savannah provided! She was very communicative throughout the weekend and was also very accommodating with some last minute changes. The boys loved her! We will definitely be hiring her again!”

About: I've been surrounded by all sorts of animals my entire life! All of my family, neighbors and friends have always had my watch over their animals all throughout my life. I'm currently a student at Texas Tech University! I have classes throughout the week from 11am to about 5pm most days. On weekends I am readily available. Since I am in a dorm currently, I am unable to bring your animal to me. I will only be able to go to your home to car for the pet. I have always been trusted to petsit animals ranging from cattle to kittens and puppies.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages for over 12 years. I’m comfortable with training routines, medication schedules, senior care, and high-energy pups. Neighbors, friends, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their dogs, knowing I’ll treat them like my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog my full attention. I’m available Everyday. I am able to do this as I am a personal tutor.

FAQs for House Sitting - Heckville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 251 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Heckville. 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 Heckville 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 Heckville 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 Heckville 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 Heckville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
