“Jairo took great care of my girls and my home. He was a great communicator, sent picture updates, took them on lots of fun walks and made sure they were happy and tucked in at night. It was very nice coming home to happy dogs and and a clean home, and made my trip much more enjoyable having peace of mind with regular updates.”

“Jahci did an amazing job with our two girls. One of them is super shy and timid, but warmed up to Jahci right away. She is timely and the communication was great. She took amazing care of our place as well (pretty sure she left the house cleaner than we did!) We have already booked her for a second time and our girls are looking forward to seeing her again!”

“Lauren did a great job. She was super attentive to all of our animals and they loved her. Moving forward we can’t imagine using anyone else ever again. Usually when we come home our dogs are restless, this time around it was the exact opposite. She took them out on schedule and played with all of them regularly to keep them stimulated. If you need a sitter who truly loves animals, book Lauren, you won’t regret it.”

“Tanita is the best! There was an immediate connection between she and my pup. You could tell right away that she is a dog person. She sent pictures while we were out of town which I loved. She never complained but I am certain she cleaned up pee and poop messes. She left the house in better condition than the way we left it. Tanita is very responsible and trustworthy. Overall it was a really great experience and I absolutely will be reaching out to Tanita again when we go out of town. My dog keeps asking when she will be coming back! Highly recommend.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a deep love for dogs, I used to rescue street dogs and later joined an animal rescue organization in my hometown. Taking care of animals has always been my passion, and over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I started by helping neighbors and friends with their furry companions, ensuring they were happy, safe, and entertained. Now, I’m bringing that same love and dedication to Rover! At my home, your pup will have plenty of space to run and play in my large, gated backyard, fun playtime, and lots of cuddles. Whether your dog loves belly rubs, fetch, or just a cozy place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I treat every pup as if they were my own, because for me, dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family! 💕 Book with me, and let’s give your furry baby a stay filled with tail wags, fun, and lots of love! 🐕✨ Caring for animals isn’t just part of my routine, it’s my passion. Every day, I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment for pets, whether they’re in my home or my client’s. My mornings start with feeding, playtime, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. Throughout the day, I ensure they receive attention, exercise, and companionship tailored to their needs. For cats, this means interactive play and quiet moments of bonding. For dogs, it includes, play sessions, and cuddles. Since I work with a flexible schedule, I can dedicate quality time to every pet in my care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and at ease. Whether it’s a daily check-in, an overnight stay, or extended care, pet well-being is always my top priority. Your fur baby will always be treated like family. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep pet parents reassured. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure that every pet receives personalized care, love, and attention tailored to their unique needs. In my home, I create a safe, enriching environment where pets feel comfortable and loved, providing playtime, mental stimulation, cozy spaces for rest, and plenty of affection. I keep routines consistent, ensuring pets feel secure even when their parents are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine; feeding, playtime, and companionship, while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I understand the importance of trust and communication, so I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep pet parents reassured.

She was so sweet with my girl and sent me regular updates while I was gone. She did an excellent job the entire time and probably took better care watching my baby than my family would have!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years, since I was a girl. My first dog was a German Shepherd, than a Yorkshire terrier. I currently have a mini poodle and love it . I have a bit of experience dealing with big and small dogs! I understand that a dog can be more than a man's best friend, so you can trust that I will treat your dog with the love and respect they deserves. I also know that each dog has their own personality, having a pet Yorkie has taught me that! I would definitely call myself a dog person, because I believe that a dog could make your life whole. I sure that your dog will not only enjoy their time with me but will be able to make a new friend along the way! I currently work from home couple times out of the week therefore I am available for house visits those days out a bit more flexible on those days I closely observe each animal to the best of my ability while also giving them the space to be enjoy and themselves in a relaxed environment.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, specifically Maltese, so caring for pets has always been a normal part of my life. I also currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. While I’m newer to pet sitting through Rover, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, walking routines, and any other instructions you have for your pet. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how they’re doing. Outside of pet care, I’m currently finishing my master’s degree in counseling and have spent several years in roles that require a high level of responsibility, communication, and trust. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. My schedule is fairly flexible, especially during weekday mornings and early afternoons. I’m currently finishing graduate school and generally schedule my other work later in the day, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I can also accommodate some evenings and weekends depending on the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially when that means welcoming someone into your home. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level and won’t force interaction if they need some time to warm up. I’ll also treat your home with respect, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Hi there! I’m a big animal lover and active volunteer at my local animal shelter and routinely foster dogs in need. I have experience providing medication to dogs of all sizes and modifying schedules based on each dog’s needs. I’ve owned dogs ranging anywhere from 10 pounds to 70 pounds, and am confident that I can provide the support your dog needs. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have plenty of time to adjust to varying schedules and last minute requests! I also live in a central part of Houston, making my commute quick and accessible to most places. If I am house sitting or providing a drop in service to your home, I ensure that no interactions are made with other dogs or animals outside the home, as I want to ensure the safety of your pets first and foremost! I also make sure to read your dog’s body language, and remove them from any situations that may be causing them distress (neighborhood dogs they do not like, loud sounds that startle them, etc).

Madison went above and beyond in a way I will never forget. I had a medical emergency about a 3 weeks ago and, because of the situation, my dog was left outside on my patio before I was even able to finalize a Rover booking. Madison didn’t hesitate. She stepped in, went to my home, picked up my dog, and took care of him simply because she loves animals and knew he needed someone. Booking wasn’t even paid or confirmed at the time, she did it purely out of kindness and compassion. When I wasn’t physically able to be there for my dog, Madison was. She made sure he was safe, cared for, and no longer sitting alone on the porch. That meant more to me than I can put into words. I will forever be grateful to Madison for the kindness she showed me and my dog during one of the most difficult moments I’ve experienced. She didn’t just provide a service she showed genuine humanity. I truly cannot thank her enough. Madison is an incredible person, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet as if they were her own.

Lisa has sat for me before and this time was even better than the first! I’m so grateful I booked with her, my cats felt so comfortable, and they were well taken care of. Lisa additionally ran a couple errands for me, including grabbing the cat wet food, and dropping off a package to the post office. When I came home, I found my dishes done, my laundry, washed, folded, and the cats favorite YouTube video on. Lisa is a no-brainer, book! Book her you won’t regret it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hedwig Village

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hedwig Village is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,876 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hedwig Village. 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 Hedwig Village 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 Hedwig Village 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 Hedwig Village 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hedwig Village. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
