“David is an exceptional pet sitter! One of our little dogs suffers from anxiety and is on medication. We've never left her before and were very nervous about going away for a few days. We needn't have been! All the dogs loved him, and it is obvious that he loves dogs. He is sincere, conscientious and communicative, and we will definitely be using him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Justinh took a last minute request for house sitting and was communicative and professional the whole time. We’ll definitely hit her up the next time we go out of town!”
“Mica spent the day with my pup while I had to be outta town for work. He's a rescue with high separation anxiety and her presence while I was absent kept him calm and happy. She sent pictures through out the day and was respectful of my home.”
“Kaylee does a great job with our two dogs. We have had her house sit for us twice and she does an amazing job. Our pups really like her and we always get good pupdates while we are gone.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I love them endlessly. I would love the opportunity to shower your animals with the love and care they need while you are away. I work full time but I have a schedule abnormal to most. I have lots of free time during the day before 3 during most weekdays, and evenings on weekends. Message me if you see a time that is not available and we’ll see if we can work something out! :) I will give your animal lots of love and attention, and make sure that they are well taken care of when they are with me. I will treat them like my own pups.
About: I’ve taken care of others peoples animals for about 5 years and my own for 10. I love dogs and especially cats, but I am willing to take care of any! I understand senior dogs need for gentle care and some animals are more afraid of new people! Please reach out! I work part time at a local restaurant, my hours are normally Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 4-10pm. I also go to college Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-12pm, other than that I am free to come say hi to your pets! I am able to come let your dogs outside for a potty or take them on a walk around the neighborhood! I can feed them and refresh their water. I’m sure they love treats and can give them some as well!
“We would definitely recommend Kalie to watch your dogs! She was on time and did a great job communicating with us while we were away. She was committed to making sure that our dogs were comfortable and safe.”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.
“Darren is a thoughtful care giver for my fur babies. After months of not walking them, he got them back into a routine to help myself and my dogs on the road to wellness. Our home was cared for and has been super attentive to our needs. All instructions were followed and felt confident about Darren's care while we were on holiday. I highly recommend his services!”
About: Army Reservist and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for multiple pets. Responsible, trustworthy, honorable, patient, and dedicated to providing excellent care, attention, safety, and companionship for every pet. As an Army Reservist, I serve one weekend each month and have a flexible schedule throughout the rest of the month. This allows me plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets while doing something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow all owner instructions, ensure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and attention, and prioritize their safety at all times. As an Army Reservist, reliability and responsibility are important to me, and I strive to provide dependable care and regular updates to pet owners.
“Maya was amazing! She kept us updated sent pictures of them. My babies were very well taken care of and I never had to worry about them. 10/10 definitely recommend and will rebook!!”
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
“Aryanna was great with our animals! She always kept us up-to-date and sent lots of great pictures and videos. She was also very patient when our air went out as we got it all back up and running. Would highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Nothing but good things to say! Andrea was super responsive, provided the best updates, and it was clear our pup loved her! Will definitely be reaching out in the future- highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.
About: I've had pets my entire life. 4 decades now. I've pet sat for family and friends for most of my life. I have some experience with animals of all ages. I can feed, walk, and clean up. Happy to follow instructions. And even happier to show care and compassion to your "babies." I do work but am able to do at least 2 visits/overnight per day. Off days I can do more visits if needed. I'm happy to discuss availability with you! I will keep your home as it was when I arrived. I'll follow any instructions on crating, yard play, etc and only give approved food and treats.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Heidenheimer
Alex was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dogs with him, and I never had a single worry while they were in his care. He took such great care of them and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were with someone who genuinely cared about them. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable dog sitter.
This is our second time booking with Alex and I have to say he will be our go-to until we leave Texas or he stops dog sitting. He treats both our home and babies as if they were his. He leaves things better then when he started and has easily adjusted to our chaotic needs over the last couple months. Cannot be more thankful for Alex and his assistance! 10/10 recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Heidenheimer is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $44 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.

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 Heidenheimer 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 Heidenheimer 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Heidenheimer 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
