About: I don’t just pet‑sit — I love on your animals like they’re part of my own little pack. From belly rubs to long walks and cozy snuggles, your fur babies get all the care, attention, and heart they deserve. Brachycephalic breed experience and understanding; cataract post-surgery care/boarding offered as well. Kittens/Puppies/Elder/Special Needs Animals Morning: I start the day with your cat — breakfast, fresh water, gentle snuggles, and a little playtime to ease into the day. I check in on their mood, energy level, and any special needs so the rest of the day stays centered around them. Midday: I’m home for the most of the day, keeping your cat company, offering enrichment, supervising any outdoor time they enjoy, and maintaining their routine. If your cat is comfortable and settled, I may step out for essential errands, always making sure their needs are fully met before I leave and right when I return. Afternoon: More focused attention — play sessions, quiet companionship, grooming if they enjoy it, or simply being nearby so they feel safe and supported. Their comfort guides the pace of the day. Evening: Dinner, cozy wind‑down time, and extra affection. I stay home to ensure they feel secure, relaxed, and cared for as they settle in for the night. A day in my care is all about your cat — snuggles when they want closeness, playful moments to spark joy, supervised outdoor time for safe exploring, gentle walks or calming car rides if they enjoy them, and a routine built entirely around their needs. Whether they’re nursing, growing, aging, or require special attention, I make sure every moment feels comforting, enriching, and full of love.
“Jillian really came through for me in a crunch. My family surprised me with a mini cruise for my birthday and brought my sister's dog to play with mine...but they forgot I needed someone to look after them while we were away. Jillian came to the rescue and housesat Vixen (my lab shepherd mix with severe separation anxiety and fear aggression towards unfamiliar dogs) and Indy (my sister's ball-obsessed Border Collie who has NO 'off' switch). Both dogs are highly intelligent, mischievous problem solvers, neither is for novice handlers. Both dogs were charmed by her during our initial meet and greet, both cuddled with her before we headed out on vacation, and both were happy and healthy upon our return. I would trust Jillian with my family's furbabies anytime :)”

“Abbey did an excellent job. She was very patient with Atlas. He was very anxious around a new person and Abbey was great with him. I would definitely recommend Abbey and will ask for her the next time i have to go out of time”
“McKenzie was great! She took everything in stride with our doggies and went above and beyond in caring for them. They took to her right away. She stayed at our house for several days and left all clean and in order. Will definitely ask her again as the need arises.”
About: Why pick me? Years of Experience? ✔️ Training? ✔️ High Availability? ✔️ Flexibility? ✔️ But most importantly, Loving your pet as my own? ✔️ Excited to meet you and your fur baby! I am currently working part time/remote, so I am oftentimes available. With my flexibility, I can work with your schedule. Afternoon/evening pick ups are preferred.

About: My name is Lacey and I've been a dog owner for over 30 years but a dog lover my whole life. I recently celebrated my seven year anniversary as a Rover sitter and small business owner! My husband and I have one college age and two teenage children and a ten year old Brittany named Greta. Greta is super social, friendly and loves to bird hunt. For clients looking for boarding or day care, we have a dog door that leads to a spacious, fenced back yard that allows for more freedom in and out of the house. It can also be closed off when necessary. Our home is accommodating to both higher energy pups but also older dogs that like to be lazy and lounge around. I also offer dog walking and local drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I have a flexible schedule, am centrally located and provide service in Hewitt, Woodway, Lorena, Robinson, McGregor and Waco. I have a lot of flexibility for pet sitting in my weekly schedule. I’m typically away from home for 1-3 hours during the week for local walks and drop in visits. I have a secure, fenced in yard. I only board a small amount of dogs at one time in my home. I do several regular walks and drop ins throughout the week.
About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I'm trying to find someone who needs help taking care of their pets! I love animals and would love to spend time with your furbabies. I enjoy taking walks and having company with me would make the walks so much more exciting. Plus, everyone involved gets some exercise! I have experience taking care of dogs and cats and I am available for short notice care. Thank you and have a wonderful day! I will be available most days unless I already have something scheduled. Please message me and I will see if I can accommodate you. I am available to help with your animals on most days, as long as I do not have a prior engagement. Let me know what you need because I can be flexible with my schedule. At this time, I don't provide care in my home. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and checking in on either cats or dogs.
“Tabitha was amazing! I had to leave for a family emergency and she took the best care of my pets and house leaving me stress free! Continuous updates with pictures every morning afternoon and evening with updates throughout the day! Her communication is top tier!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hewitt
Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our golden retriever Ella and our home while we were away! She kept us updated, sent photos, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. Ella was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. She also took wonderful care of the house and left everything in great shape when we returned home. Olivia was responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and easy to work with from start to finish. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hewitt is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 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 208 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hewitt. 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 Hewitt 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 Hewitt 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 Hewitt 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.
