“We recommend Landon as a fantastic dog sitter. He sent photos and communicated consistently while we were away. Our dogs loved him, and even our neighbors noted how kind he is. Landon treated our home respectfully and followed our care instructions (including helping with our rescue dog who is recovering from heartworms!) We look forward to booking him again!”
“Madison was great with Rosie! She sent lots of updates with pictures. She fed her and gave her medications consistently. She was very sweet as Rosie warmed up to her. She definitely put us at ease while we were traveling. Will definitely book Madison again!”
“Madison did a great job! Our cats are shy and because she stayed at the house they got more comfortable with her. She fed fish and misted the snake cage, too. Definitely recommend!”
About: With a lifetime of dedicated experience, I offer professional, reliable care for dogs and cats. My philosophy centers on prioritizing your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as my own. I maintain a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, including strict adherence to dietary needs and medication administration. My last 3 dogs lived to be 18 or more years old. I even had a Westin that had Addison Disease. I was told she would not live more than a couple of years, but with daily medication and lots of extra care, she lived to be 19 years old. Whether I am walking your dog or providing transportation, I remain vigilant for any signs of distress. I am trained in First Aid and CPR, and I always keep emergency plans ready to ensure your peace of mind. I find great joy in discovering each pet's unique personality and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment. My responsible and empathetic approach ensures your companions are in excellent hands. I look forward to meeting your furry, feathered, or hoofed family members and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. Im currently in between jobs and available any hours. Once I find a position to close out my career, ill still be available outside of my work schedule. I am open to caring for your pet in my home, depending on type and size. I also have experience with dogs that require medication.
About: I have experience in both administrating medicine to all ages of dogs and potty training puppies. I am an expert fetch player and love long walks at the park I am a full time worker at a desk jobs and need frequent breaks to move around. My work is flexible with hours which is why I am able to come and go as a please. My New Year’s resolution was to walk 10,000 steps a day, which is a lot more fun to do with a furry friend! I have one dog and one cat that are both inside full time. Both are females and fixed. We have a nice dog park within a five minute walk of our house that allows them to play off leash if no other dogs are around.
“Celeste was so attentive and went out of her way to make my dog as comfortable as possible. She helped me feel so at ease with updates and pictures. I knew my dog was in great hands the whole time :)”
“Max did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! They were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we got home, and the house was just as clean as we left it. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and would definitely trust Max to watch them again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own two dogs for plenty of years since I was a boy me and them practically grew up together. I’ve also taken care of plenty of my friends and family’s animals there hasn’t been one animal I’ve come across who hasn’t taken to me kindly! I do work part time with a relatively Sporadic schedule! Although this is true I still have plenty of time in my day to give to your pets and I can be as flexible as i possibly can! We have a fenced in yard I love sitting and cuddling with my dogs as well as playing with them when they have the time for me. I feed supply water and bathe my dogs they are both well taken care of my me! I can also keep your house clean do chores etc. I can also feed or give your animals their meds based on schedule whatever you need I’m sure i could do it.
“Brittany is responsive and was super sweet! Would definitely ask her to house sit or watch my pets again, and would recommend her. Everything was as agreed and I appreciated getting updates and pictures!”
About: I have a huge heart for animals and will always treat your babies as if they were mine. I’m extremely patient and understanding if your pet has any specific needs or doesn’t always trust new people. I’m extremely reliable because I know if it were my baby, I’d want to be able to trust whoever is taking care of them. I have had years of experience watching all different types of animals and will always let you know if I am uncomfortable so we can ensure you find the perfect care taker for your pet. I am always willing to come and meet your pet before you officially book with me to make sure I am a good fit for them. I always try and bring a treat or toy with me to each visit so your pet has an easier time adjusting to a stranger. It always seems to help that initial visit since they may not be too sure what’s happening. I am usually always available. I do work full time, but can always adjust my schedule to fit your pets needs. I can do short term and long term work. I am currently working at home, so your pet would be out and about all day if they were to come stay with me. I’m extremely flexible, just need a couple hours heads up to make sure I can help you and your pet out while you’re away. I live in a wonderful home in Woodway with a large fenced in backyard. I run a cat rescue, but the cats and dogs are kept separate to ensure their safety. We have plenty of rooms and ways to isolate your fur baby from other animals if they prefer that. We provide a safe and loving place filled with pet hair and treats.
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs
“Oh Em Gee. This was the first time I had to trust someone I hardly knew to watch my animals in my house and boy did Kimberly deliver! Tons of pictures while I was away and I came home to so many happy wags. Couldn’t ask for more than that!”
“Dena is amazing, I cannot recommend her enough! She took great care of our home while we were away for a long trip and sent updates frequently so we enjoyed our vacation without worry. She took great care of our home, even brought in our mail and vacuumed so we came home to a dog-hair-free house. Our furbabies were spoiled & didn’t seem to miss us at all in her care! We will definitely be using her for any future needs, and you should too!!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life! I love all of them. I have experience with feeding, bathing, nurturing, walking, all of it! I am a full time student and I work from 8:00am -5:00pm Monday-Friday! I’m free on the weekends and before and after work! I can be sure to fit all of your fur babies into my schedule ! I have a fenced in yard that your babies can play in! As well as the ability to provide them with all of my attention!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hewitt
Max did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! They were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we got home, and the house was just as clean as we left it. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and would definitely trust Max to watch them again. Highly recommend!
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!
Michaela was great. Right before I left on my trip my two cats got sick, which was very stressful, but she was good with all of the medication info I threw her way last minute and was also flexible when I decided to come home earlier than expected and needed to modify the booking. She gave updates and would ask questions about the house/pets to make sure they got the best of care, which I really appreciated. She also took the time to clean the house, which made coming home such a relief!
I booked Brooke last minute for an out-of-town trip, and she was absolutely amazing. She was extremely professional, kept my dog happy and well-cared for, and left my home spotless. It gave me real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Holley was great with our pup! She was available on short notice which was so helpful. She sent frequent updates with pictures and took great care of Rosie! She worked well with our dog’s anxiety and initial hesitation with new people. Will definitely be reaching to her for future sitting jobs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hewitt
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hewitt on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 218 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.
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 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 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 Hewitt. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
