“Michelle did well with staying a few nights. House was in good shape as when we left. Our dog seems to have been taken well care of and happy. I received pictures daily, which I enjoyed!”
“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 absolutely incredible as our house and dog sitter. From the moment we left, we felt at ease knowing everything was in capable hands. She took amazing care of our home and our dogs. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it. Mercedes kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant so much and really helped us relax while we were away. We had a great experience and will 100% be asking Mercedes again in the future. Highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“I didn't know anyone could be so amazing. Thank you Rebecca. You kept me informed every day. I received wonderful pictures. My pups love you. :) I'm always leery of starting with a new sitter but I was out of options and you worked out great. You are my number one go-to.”
“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 was so sweet and great with my pets. She was flexible and understanding when our plans had to change due to unforeseen circumstances. She was a real blessing. She was punctual, thorough, and was consistent with checking in so I knew my pets were well taken care of! Totally recommend her to everyone!”
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.
“Arisha is absolutely amazing. She was an excellent communicator, sending pictures and updates regularly. She was so sweet to all the animals, even trying to make progress with a very reluctant cat. She took great care of the house as well. I felt so calm knowing she was treating my fur babies like they were her own. She will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
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.
“Alexa was great! I appreciate how she took care of my dogs and our home! Especially my old girl who is almost 17 and needs extra care.! Everything was done as I had asked and she left everything very tidy! I look forward to using her again very soon!”
“Louann stayed with our 2 dogs over the weekend while we were away. She did a wonderful job and made us feel at ease knowing they were being taken care of and getting attention while we were gone. I will definitely use Louann again. It's hard to find someone who has such a passion for dogs as she does!”

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Howe. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
