“Stacey did an amazing job! From the moment we met her, we could see how much she genuinely loves animals, and we knew our fur babies would be in great hands. She communicated with us throughout the weekend, keeping us updated on how everything was going and sending lots of wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Without a doubt, Stacey is the best sitter we've had. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets!”
“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 is Rebecca’s second time to watch the dogs for a week. She is great at sending daily photos and notifying if something seems off. She left the house just like it was when she came to stay. She had to keep two girls separate this stay due to heat cycles, hormones and fighting. I breed Shih Tzu’s, so I try to work around heat cycles and puppies to be there with them. But, this time it didn’t work out. She is always respectful of my place and seems to care about my babies as they were her own. I would definitely recommend her! And will be booking her again soon.”
“Jane took great care of our pets. She kept us updated on our cats health as he’s been experiencing medical complications. She let our aging Doodle cuddle with her. We were very fortunate that she was able to support our last minute request due to the medical issues that popped up right before our trip.”
“If I could leave more stars, I would. The BEST Rover sitter we've ever had. He truly loved our dogs like his own, was very reliable and our house was spotless when we came home. Will definitely be using him again!!!”
“We’ve needed a reliable pet sitter for years, especially now that our pups are getting older. Cynthia is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She took great care of our home and our old babies while we were away and went above and beyond our expectations. She was also incredibly kind about one of the dogs eating a toy that upset their stomach. We were able to enjoy our trip and not have to worry about our fur babies one bit!”
“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!”
“Sara was outstanding! She has great communication and gave us daily updates and pictures. She won the heart of all our pups, including one who is very picky on who he likes.”
“Jocelyn went above and beyond for our Ranger. We came home to a happy Yorkie, clean house, and received pictures the whole weekend. We would highly recommend Jocelyn for pet sitting/house sitting. We will definitely book her again if she is available:)”

You also need to keep them clean and neat by bathing and brushing them and giving them some fun toys to play with. No matter where you're looking after your furry friend, whether it's at your own house or someone else's, always put their health, safety, and happiness first!
“Great Sitter🙏 We had a great experience with our dog sitter! She stayed overnight and was incredibly responsive, proactive, and dependable. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent us enough updates to know our dogs were doing well without us ever having to worry. It honestly made being away a lot easier knowing they were in good hands. She took the time to make sure everything was taken care of and went above and beyond what we expected. We really appreciated how reliable and communicative she was and would absolutely have her watch our dogs again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs. Have a two year old medium/small sized dog who loves play dates but also doesn’t mind staying in another room if other dogs aren’t friendly! She also doesn’t bother other dogs unless they come up to her to play. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I work part time during the week, twice a week on a random schedule for around 7 hours or less and home all night. Weekends are completely free. I live in a very nice area, can go for walks, go to the dog park, my dog loves playing with other dogs, and i have a crate.
About: I’ve cared for dozens of dogs at once at SPCA Plano, from tiny to enormous, so I’m comfortable with whatever size of dog walks through your door. I’ve looked after Archie, a 9-month-old lab who was already giant and had no idea, and a huge pitbull who was a total sweetheart. I’ve also handled plenty of chihuahuas and other small dogs who have big opinions. Shelter team leads coached me on reading body language and handling nervous or excitable dogs, and I’ve been looking after friends’ pets ever since. I’m a running athlete, so I can keep up with high-energy pups on long walks, and I’m just as happy with a slow, sniffy stroll for seniors and shy dogs. Big or small, your dog gets calm, consistent care, clear updates, and plenty of photos. I’m currently studying animal behavior through ASPCA, and I’m always learning how to make pets more comfortable. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Sundays: Open all day. Thursdays: Available until the evening. Fridays: Available from 5pm . Saturdays: Available from 5 PM. Weekend trips? Message me your dates and I’ll confirm what I can do. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, because familiar feeds, walks, and bedtimes keep animals calm while you’re away. Before the first visit, I’ll ask about quirks, fears, and house rules, and I’ll follow your instructions for food, doors, and gates. I treat your home with respect and leave it just as tidy as I found it. My shelter training taught me to watch body language, spot when a pet is stressed or unwell, and stay calm in any situation. You’ll get regular photo updates, and if anything seems off, I’ll message you right away. I’m happy to do a meet and greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable with each other.

FAQs for House Sitting - Howe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,195 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 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.
