“Kathleen is a gem!! She stayed at our home for 10 nights with our 2 dogs. She sent pictures each morning and asked questions when she had any. Our home was in tip top shape when we returned and all instructions were followed perfectly. And most importantly our doggies were super happy and relaxed. I think they miss her ❤️ We’ll happily use her again!”
“Natalie did a great job taking care of our Nora in our home! Our normal dog sitter/ house sitter was busy so we had to try someone new and we made a great choice. I’m always hesitant letting new people into our home but Natalie left our home in the same condition before we left. She went above and beyond taking the garbage out, taking sheets off the bed and starting the dishwasher. She was very communicative of Nora’s needs and how she was doing while we were gone. Natalie communicated her schedule changes as it related to when Nora would be home alone. We would recommend Natalie to other rover users and will use her again!”
“We had 100% trust in Ren and she did not disappoint. She took great care of Phoebe - the pictures she shared show just how comfortable she was and put us at ease while we were in Mexico getting married. We would easily recommend Ren and use her again without question.”
“Karen was such a blessing to meet and work with. She helped us out tremendously in caring for our young kittens for two almost back to back pre-planned vacations. Leaving them alone so young and so new to our household was really stressful, yet Karen made it very stress free. Karen stayed in constant communication and sent picture updates to share how our kitties were doing. She took care of our house while we were away and was so considerate to even ask us if we needed any groceries before we returned. She left us the cutest framed pictures of our babies on the countertop when we returned, which was an adorable surprise. We are so grateful to her and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and/or home while they are away. We will be reaching out to her again!”
“Casandra was wonderful with my anxious dog! The first night (before Casandra arrived at the house to begin pet sitting), he escaped his crate and got into some chocolate that my daughter had left out. Casandra knew exactly what to do and handled the situation to perfection. She is very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures. I am so grateful to her for taking such good care of our dog so that we could enjoy a care-free trip!”
“Aurellia was so great! I got so many photos and she really did care about my dogs! I was in Mexico so I was not able to communicate with her, but she asked my neighbor about all things she needed and we were able to get the dogs what they needed because she communicated so well!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about June. I haven’t left my cat, who I consider my baby, alone in over two years. She’s become very attached to me lately so I was a bit anxious with leaving her with anyone. Before committing, I met with June and after a good meeting, my fears were completely gone. I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of my Baba. June is a very responsible and caring person. She sent photos my cat daily and I could clearly see that my cat did NOT miss me. LOL. When I returned home, my house was better than when I left. Spotless and she even changed the sheets, washed them and made the bed. An added bonus, she knew exactly when I would be home and had the garage door open so all I had to do was pull in. I couldn’t have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend her to take care of your pet. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Belen was wonderful with my boys during her overnight stay this past weekend! She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated frequently, checking in about their meals, Chevy’s medications, walks, and even their bedtime routine. Those little details gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for exactly how I would care for them. She was also very punctual, respectful of my home, and left everything clean and tidy. It can be nerve-racking trusting someone new with both your pups and your home, but Belen made the entire experience easy and reassuring. I would absolutely trust her with Chevy and Mylo again and highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“This was our 1st experience using Rover and Beth was awesome! She made sure our pups were well cared for and took care of our home like it was her own. We can't thank her enough for all the pics and updates on our furbabies, it allowed us to relax while we were away, certain our loved ones were in good hands. Thank you so much Beth!”
About: I’ve had medical training with animals as a vet tech and kennel lead. ❤️ I have experience with meds, and I love senior pups (really all pups).🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building my days around the needs of the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of one-on-one attention, especially during mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also able to plan my schoolwork and other commitments around scheduled pet visits, so I can give each pet my full attention rather than rushing through a visit. 🐾💕 Whether I’m caring for a pet in their home or mine, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🥹❤️ I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re getting personalized care and plenty of attention. 🌱❤️
“Alissa was so great with our puppy! We work night shift and she came over and spent time with him while we were at work and our dog absolutely loved her! Our cats also cuddled up to her too. She took him out, sent us pictures, and took him for a walk to get some of that puppy energy out. Would love to use her again in the future. Thanks Alissa! :)”
“Annie was fantastic taking care of my 2 kitties and had my shy girl on the couch with her on the first night! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again for our next trip! She handled medications and food perfectly, for once I really did not have to worry while I was gone. Lots of updates and pictures as well!”
About: CARING FOR YOUR PET IS MY FULL TIME RESPONSIBILITY. Your dog's stay here will be my main focus. I live in a quiet, low traffic area near the lake. He/She will have free reign of my home and will get plenty of exercise because i have a large fenced in yard and take walks by the lake. I have several years experience house sitting, dog sitting and dog walking and can provide letters of recommendation if needed. My mother and sister also live with me and they love dogs too. You can trust that your dog will be safe and attended to in my hands. They have free reign of the house and may sleep wherever they wish unless you state otherwise. They will get LOTS of attention as somebody is always here. Your pet will be closely supervised and well cared for. Thank you for choosing me to care for your pet. Taking care of your pet is my full time job although I hesitate to call it a job. They will always have my full attention Because I care for pets full time I am always with them. Additionally I have cameras set up throughout the house. I go outside with them for playtime and potty breaks and I keep a tidy and clean environment. Currently I am taking some online pet care and cpr courses.
“Vicki is amazing! I had to book super last minute because I was worried about leaving my cat alone, and she was so nice and willing to help. She stayed with him overnight, gave him lots of attention and playtime, and honestly helped calm my nerves so much knowing he was with someone who cared. She was super sweet, reliable, and easy to communicate with. My cat seemed so happy and comfortable with her! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Hannah was beyond patient and flexible with our anxious dog!! She knew exactly what he needed and when. She kept us updated the entire time and was quick to respond. We will definitely use her again!”
“Trinity was so awesome! I received tons of pictures daily, and my house was left so clean. I booked her last minute and even extended during the booking, and she was so accommodating and helpful. Thank you so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hickory Creek
Jamie and Barry took care of our dog Poppy for 12 days as well as managed our gardens and flower pots. They did an amazing job. We were sent daily updates on Poppy with fantastic photos which allowed us to relax about her care while we enjoyed our vacation. 5 star A+ service from this duo team. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Jamie and Barry!
London was incredible!! She stayed at our house and made the whole experience completely stress-free. My dogs loved her and I loved all the updates and pictures while we were away. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust in your home. Everything was perfect when we got back😀 The dogs were happy and the house was cleaner than when we left! I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Kylee has done house and dog sitting for us twice now and has been great! She made sure to update us each morning and evening with photos and videos. She followed instructions given and would reach out whenever she had a question. Will definitely continue to use Kylee for future bookings.

The average cost of House Sitting in Hickory Creek is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 per night.

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 Hickory Creek 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 Hickory Creek 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 Hickory Creek 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.
