“This girl is OUTSTANDING. She went above and beyond her short time here and really save our family last minute. We will N E V E R be using another sitter! I wish i could give her 100 stars!”
“Adrian was so amazing with our two pups! Our sweet babies can get very anxious but he kept them so calm and happy while we were away. He sends THE BEST pictures of your babies to update you. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Honestly I was a little nervous about having someone in my home to take care of my fur babies. We set up a meet and greet with Josh, and before he left that evening my husband and I felt much better about leaving on our trip. Josh did all the things that needed to be done, and then some. He was so good with our rescue dog who is afraid of everybody and everything except for us. Then once my cat came out of hiding, it was just as good to him as he was to Annie. If I could give him a 10 out of 10, I would. Thank you, Josh for helping my husband and I feel safe leaving our pets with you.”
“Mercedes was great - needed a sitter last minute to come house sit for a few hours. She showed up when the last rover sitter we tried to book had cancelled on us last minute. Agreed to come by and do a meet and greet the same day we needed to find kenji a sitter. Very reliable. Kenji seemed to absolutely love her company while we were gone. Will definitely use her for house visits in the future!”
“Connor was very reliable, trustworthy, honest and capable. He’s great with my sweet but needy Labrador and I trusted him to take care of my house when I was out of state. Such a blessing. We appreciate his good attitude, willingness to go above and beyond and reliability! Thank you, Connor!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Rebecca! She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our dogs were happy and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Tom is a gem and we were lucky to find him after our relocation to East Texas. We left our home knowing that our babies were in good hands. Tom was respectful of our property and we were very comfortable being away. It was a fantastic experience.”
“Amy was phenomenal dealing with our many animals and our home. She is kind, caring, and thoughtful. All of my animals were extremely comfortable with her and I felt confident going on vacation with them in her care.”
“Jane is caring, thoughtful, and our 3 fur kids were well-taken care of. The house was very clean, and she kept me updated via text messages throughout her stay. She really loves animals and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She is a wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter!”
About: I have lived with cats for my whole life and absolutely adore taking care of them! I am highly experienced in taking care of cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities! As a recent high school graduate, I have plenty of free time to care for your kitties! Boarding at my home and housesitting at yours is available throughout the summer. Your kitties will stay in my cozy and relaxing bedroom! Because my family has a few cats of our own, your kitties will stay in my room to prevent any issues with the other cats.
“This was my second time using Luis' services and he did not disappoint! My dogs love him (and they are very picky pups) and he does a fantastic job with them! He's my go-to and gives me incredible security knowing my dogs are in good hands when I travel! Thank you, Luis!”
“We used Arisha for the first time this past weekend for staying at our home with our beloved fur baby as a trial before we went on a longer vacation. My experience was nothing but positive. She was on time. Communicated regularly. Sent photos and left our house as we had left it. I look forward to using her again and have already booked with her. Highly recommend.”
“Chris really gave me so much peace of mind knowing that he was at our house with our three rambunctious pups- all were pretty tuckered when I got home, and our home was left clean and tidy! Thank you so much Chris! I’m hoping that our pups get to meet in the future!!!”
About: As a previous pet hotel employee, I can say that animal caretaking is one of my favorite things to do. I grew up with numerous pets in my household and providing for them was part of my daily chores. I also had pets in my college home and I was always happy to help feed, play with and take care of those pets. I briefly took care of my families adopted dog, Atlas, before he went to live full time on the family farm. During that time, I was responsible for all care. Including lots of walks and tummy rubs! I work from home full time so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to take breaks in between meetings to let them go potty, give them so play time and more. I have a fenced in yard so your dog would be free to run around outside! I also have a backyard camera for extra security.
“We couldn't be happier with the overnight care Louann provided for our dog. Being new to town and nervous about onboarding someone new, she proved to be reliable, communicative, and flexible when our plans had to change last minute. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. We have already booked with her again and highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Alexa enough! We were already out of state when a severe snowstorm was forecasted. She ended up staying snowed in at our house for several days to take care of our pets. My pets love her, even my very shy cat! I really appreciate how great she is at communicating. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and made sure to let me know her plans and timing. On top of everything, she left the house in fantastic condition. I’m so thankful for her and would absolutely trust her with my pets again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Howe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,283 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Howe. 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 Howe 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 Howe 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 Howe 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.

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.
