“This was the first time we used Beverly for house/dog sitting. She kept us informed daily on how our buddy was doing and sent daily photo updates. She also gave him a bath and trimmed up his nails! When we returned the house was in good shap and our little buddy was happy to see us! Over all excellent work by Beverly!”
“Wow! Jill is all kinds of fabulous. We have three dogs that require constant snuggles, pets and play! Jill delivered! I never worried about my fur babies the week we were away. She kept us up to date and didn’t mind when my daughter got sick and needed an extra update of her dog. Would and will book her again without hesitation!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 2–3 years, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. I’m often the person they call when unexpected plans come up, they’re traveling, or they simply need someone to check in on their pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding, letting dogs outside, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I always treat them with patience, attention, and lots of love. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting both on weekdays and weekends, and I’m often happy to stay at your home so your pet can remain in the familiar environment and routine they’re used to. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I know pets tend to feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so staying in their home can help minimize stress while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their safety, make sure they’re cared for throughout the day, and will keep you updated while you’re gone.
“Stephanie once again left Pocket well loved and taken care of, she is the best pet sitter we have ever hired. She even vacuumed before she left and Pockets will miss all the attention.”
“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”
“Adara is amazing! We typically have friends or family watch our furbabies so we stepped out of our comfort zone booking a pet sitter. Adara was great throughout the whole process! She is definitely our go to pet sitter now and were excited that we have someone local that we can trust. Our babies just love her and miss her already. Thank you for being awesome and accommodating, can't wait to book with you again!”
About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others throughout my life. I am familiar with dogs, cats and small animals! I will make sure that your companion has everything they need as well as lots of affection and play time. Capable of providing senior care, but no experience administering medication. I am currently working part-time Wednesday through Friday. I am completely unavailable those days except a morning/night check-in. Saturday-Tuesday I have an open schedule and can be on property as long as needed. Not only will I take care of your fuzzy friend exactly how they need, I am also a great house guest and will ensure your home is in the same condition when you arrive back. I will alert you to anything that may seem wrong on the property and will take care of any pet related messes.
“Mara was great with our boys! They are very shy and timid and she was so patient to let them warm up on their time/terms. Taz got lots of walks and he and both cats and were happily relaxing when we got home. 😊”
“Jenni was so great with our puppers! We just recently moved to the area and we were nervous about leaving them with someone new as we have only ever left the dogs with our parents but she was great and our doggos were as happy as could be!”
“Alli did a wonderful job sitting for Koda while I was out of town for a night. She sent lots of pictures, walked him and made sure his meds were given, not to mention my house was spotless when I came home. Would highly her recommend especially for people with senior dogs!”
About: Hello my name is Sarah! I have been pet sitting for 13 years. I worked at a vet clinic for a while and have a passion for all things animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals. I also worked on a ranch for about 3 years in Texas so I definitely have some experience to give in that department if needed. Since I worked at a vet clinic I am also capable of giving medicine if required as well. I hope this finds you well and you reach out to me to care for your furbabies! Hope to hear from you soon! I’m currently trying to make this my full time so I’m available when needed and have plenty of time to play and care for your furbabies! I will only care for pets in their own home as to not stress them out with unfamiliar territory and animals. They will be well cared for and get lots of walks, play time, and any additional care needs or instructions that you may want or need! I do require written care instructions as to have full communication of what is needed, I have found that it’s best for all parties just incase anything is not talked over during our initial meeting or conversations.
“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”
About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.
“Abby was excellent with my two rescue dogs! They are each 50 lbs with two different personalities and she handled them perfectly. She was easy-going with them and made them feel comfortable in the house while I was away. She kept up on their medicine schedule and even swept up all their hair! I highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.”
“Great communication and did such a good job with the furry babies. She played with them constantly and they were so happy and healthy when we got home. She also cleaned up before we left which we don’t expect but always appreciate so much. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Cynthia! I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ranging from small breeds like Yorkies to large breeds such as German Shepard and Mastiffs and several in between like Spaniels and Golden Retrievers. I am comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. Additionally, I have experience in caring for cats and am comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime with feline friends. I am detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care instructions and administering medication, as I know every pet requires a unique approach and care. While your pet is in my care, I will send photos and messages daily so you can have peace of mind while you are away! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine! I work weekdays from 8:00am to 5:30pm, so I can provide morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention before and after work. If your home does not have a dog door, I'm happy to stop by during my lunch break for a midday potty break and walk to help keep your dog's routine as normal as possible. Additionally, I'm comfortable administering oral medications and other routine medications as instructed, and I'm happy to follow any special care needs your pet may have. If you're only looking for a dog walker, I'm available for evening walks on weekdays, making it a great option for those who work third shift or have late work hours. On weekends, I have the flexibility to provide walks throughout the day to fit your pet's schedule and your needs. For house sitting, I stay overnight in my clients' homes so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow animals, I am unable to host pets in my own home. Whether I'm caring for dogs or cats, I'll make sure they receive personalized care, lots of affection, and daily updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care while you're away. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply giving them companionship, I'll make sure they receive the individualized attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your pet's routine and your home. I'll ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep your home tidy, and provide regular daily updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Brooke did a fantastic job. We have a senior dog who is a little high maintenance and comes with very specific “rules” - she followed them to a T. She sent frequent notes and photos and left the house super clean. Thank you, Brooke!”

Chloe is such a wonderful pet sitter! She’s an amazing communicator and so sweet! She was quick to respond and gave great updates. My 3 dogs loved her right away, and you know when animals are comfortable around a person, they’re truly a good person. My husband and I did not worry about our dogs at all under her care! She took the best care of them and of our house! There were zero issues and we had such a relaxing weekend away thanks to her. We will definitely use her again for any future pet sitting needs! Thank you SO much Chloe!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 676 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Heiskell. 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 Heiskell 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 Heiskell 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 Heiskell 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.
