“Ashley did a great job with all my animals. She was caring, responsive, communicative, prompt, and patient. I will be using her to take care of my animals again! Highly recommend.”
“Leah was so good with my Jordan! He is very nervous with new people at first but she gave him time and space to warm up to her on his own and by the time I got back he didn’t want to leave her side. She was so kind putting up with me too and following my very detailed pages of care instructions - she gave him his meds, fed him and sent pics so I knew he was well cared for while I was gone which was such a huge relief and let me actually enjoy my vacation without worrying about my fur baby the whole time. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!!”
“James was great with our dog, Dolly. Very quick responses and clear communication throughout the stay. He was very patient with Dolly who is quite anxious and timid. Highly recommend James for your dog sitting needs!”

“Brooke was phenomenal! She and our skittish little dog, Bingo, hit it off right away during a "meet & greet". She took great care of Bingo, sending us pictures & updates on a regular basis. we were able to fully enjoy our 10 day trip, knowing our home and fur baby were in such good hands. We will definitely want Brooke back the next time we leave town.”
“Jaymes was one of the best people we’ve found on River! He took such good care of our pup while we were out of town all weekend. He sent lots of pictures and had a great level of communication all weekend! Highly recommend!!”
“Julia took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were out of town for over a week. We arrived home to happy, calm, content pets and a beautifully clean house. We appreciated her thoughtful pictures and updates about how our girls were doing in her care. She also helped our nervous pups feel comfortable faster than any other petsitter (or visitor of any kind!) has in the past. Thank you again, Julia! You're the best.”

“Great & Responsible sitter. Was so lucky to find him after another sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Would only ask that there was more communication & pictures while we were gone but other than that him and his girlfriend did an amazing job.”
About: As early as 8 years old, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. From taking in and caring for outside cats to helping raise and care for puppies through their senior years, animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I’ve helped with the everyday care that keeps pets happy and healthy, including walking, potty breaks, bathing, flea care, giving medications, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. One of my favorite parts of caring for animals is building trust with them. I naturally speak to animals gently and patiently, especially when guiding, correcting, or rewarding them. I believe pets respond best when they feel safe, understood, and respected. Whether your angel is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, elderly and needing extra patience, or simply attached to their normal routine, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy the maintenance and little details of pet care—not just the fun parts. I’m happy to keep up with potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medications, baths, cleanliness, and whatever routine helps your pet feel at home. My goal is for your pet to receive the same patience, affection, and gentle guidance I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ Your angel is in good hands with me! It’s daily As someone who loves to take care of animals and give out affection, I see pet sitting more as a bond, then just simply a job They are provided with the same care that they will receive from their loving parents, think of it more of spending the night with their favorite aunt!
About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and geckos. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and enjoy spending time with them. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, affection, patience, and care while respecting their individual needs and personalities. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved! I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I attend classes on Monday evenings and Thursday mornings, but outside of those commitments, I spend time working on homework and have a fairly open schedule. This gives me plenty of opportunities to accommodate your pet's routine, provide attentive care, enjoy playtime, and make sure they never feel neglected while you're away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, safe environment, follow all care instructions, respect household rules, and ensure pets receive proper supervision, attention, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in loving and reliable hands.
About: I go above and beyond for every one of my pet owners to make sure their babies are safe, well taken care of, and spoiled!! I have experience with all breeds, of all sizes and ages as well. I do everything I can to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. I also buy treats and toys (specific to your pups needs/wants). I'm currently working full time, from 8:30-3:30. So I will be with your babies in the morning from 6:30 AM to the time I go to work, come back around 3:30-4 PM, stay for a few hours, and then make one more night stop. Or, I just stay if im staying at my pet owners house. I dont do boarding but I am able to bring your babies to my house if need be whike i watch them. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats (2 of which are kittens) that would love to play with them and I have kennels if necessary as well. When at my pet owners house, I like spend quality time with all of the babies, make sure everyone is fed and taken care of and play until all that energy is out!
“Abby is an absolute delight! She was wonderful with my dogs and so respectful of the space. She was communicative, proactive, and an absolute joy to have with my dogs in my absence. Abby and Theon are welcome to my house anytime, and I encourage you to consider them for yours!”
“Callie was great! She was very responsive to questions and inquiries, communicated well and was super punctual. We needed her to watch and walk our young dog, Henry, while we went to events. Henry seemed really happy with her, she sent us photos so we knew he was ok, and we didn't have any issues at all. Highly recommended.”

I do nights 12 hour shifts 3 nights a week then I’m free the other days and nights if it works with your schedule I have a fenced in back yard & can kennel them if need be !

“Melissa is amazing. She stayed at my house during my full week vacation to watch my two new puppies. I loved that she cared enough to come and meet them before she agreed to the stay. I think that is so helpful for my peace of mind as well as for hers. During the vacation, Melissa sent us pictures of the puppies, that not only showed us they were ok but also showed us their personalities! She went above and beyond when I asked her to also take care of our Bearded Dragon (lizard) which eats crickets. The crickets ran out during the week and she even went to the store to get more. As a house sitter, she was great! The house was just as I left it, she knew how to work everything, and I even had an emergency where I needed something from the garage to be found and set out for my sitter to pick up. That was a feat in itself to find the item by FaceTiming me and going through box after box, all the while giggling and telling jokes! Last but not least, when it was taking us longer than expected to get home, she came back to the house voluntarily and feed and watered the puppies. I can tell she cares and I can’t wait to refer her to everyone I know! Now my only hope is that she’s available next time we have something planned!”
About: I have had pets since I was a child . From fish, turtles, dogs , cats and a guinea pig . I love animals so much. I am currently working part time and I’m usually gone 4-5 hours a day . Other than that I am home pretty much all day. I have a small fenced in yard that would be great for your pet to get a breath of fresh air . And enjoy some play time

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hickory Withe is $80 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $73 and $80 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.

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 Withe 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 Withe 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 Withe 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
