“This was our third time booking with Kimmie, and once again, she exceeded our expectations! 🐾 She takes such great care of our dogs—it’s clear they feel safe and loved while we’re away. We always come home to happy pups and peace of mind knowing they’ve been in such capable hands. Kimmie is reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. We trust her and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend! 💯”
“Caitlin was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and house! She was the right level of communicative and sent us great pictures of the dogs. She also went above and beyond with grooming help for one dog that had a stomach issue. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Tanzi watched both of our dogs, and our 2 rabbits over the New Year’s holiday. Tanzi had excellent communication, left our home in great condition and even ran a load of laundry for us. We are grateful we found such an awesome pet sitter to look after our little homestead while we are gone.”
“You know when you return from your trip and your dog is not interested in welcoming you home that she had a FABULOUS time whilst you were away! We received regular text and photo updates - Our dog never stopped “smiling”. Amber is professional, really organized and just so NICE! We shall definitely have back her to house / dog sit for us!”
“We booked Kayla on very short notice to house/pet sit for us for eight days while we were on vacation. Kayla was very responsive and professional from the first interaction. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. It was clear that Charley had taken to her very well, which has not always been the case with pet sitters. We arrived home to a well-kept house and a happy pet. We highly recommend Kayla and will call her first the next time Charley needs someone to keep her company.”
“Kailiany was great! She took great care of my Labrador and house sat for me with no issues. Always had a prompt response when I texted to check in. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”
“Lilianais is an absolute dream sitter. I cannot recommend her enough. As nervous dog parents, she was incredible. Our two Shih Tzu puppies and our Corgi mix loved her. Our home and our babies were so well taken care of and our experience with Lilanais was fantastic.”
“Brittany was able to come last minute to watch my dog while I was out of town for the day. She was very patient and understanding of my old boy and did everything that I asked.”
“Marissa was great! She took care of my 3 pups and bun while I was out of the country for a week. Very communicative and lots of great photos. All the pets well taken care of. Will book again!”
“We had a lovely experience booking Andrea. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of our kitties. Andrea was very thoughtful and gave our cat his medicine even when we were about to be home so we had one less thing to do after a hectic day. I would definitely book again if our cats needed watching ☺️”

“Megan was a fantastic sitter for our 2 dogs! From the very first time she came over to meet us her communication was excellent, and we really enjoyed the regular pictures and videos we got from her we were away. But most importantly, we felt great about leaving our pets and our home in her hands. Now all I’m worried about is that our dogs are sad that she left! ❤️”
“Kory did an amazing job with watching our senior dog and two cats during our wedding and honeymoon abroad! He was very kind, considerate, inquisitive and communicative! Would highly recommend him for in-home petsitting!”
“Highly recommend Bella! My husband and I frequently go on longer trips and I've never seen my cat so content after we've been gone! He obviously felt safe, loved, taken care of, and so much more. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Julia is awesome. Very communicative and attentive. She shared a lot of updates with me and was very flexible. I came home with a happy kitty and a home in great condition. Thanks Julia!”
“Katelyn kept us informed about Bella throughout our vacation. She sent lots of pictures too. We will definitely be using her for all of our long-term dog sitting needs.”
“Nadia was great. My house and dogs were well cared for and in great shape when we got home. We didn't get a lot of updates (more to do with us being outside of any cell reception than to do with Nadia), but it's clear after coming home that my house and dogs were in good hands. 1000% recommend Nadia and will hopefully book with her again in the future.”
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, and it was clear that Onyx was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated all the love and attention she gave him. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you so much, Nancy!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hoxie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,663 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hoxie. 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 Hoxie 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 Hoxie 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 Hoxie 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 Hoxie. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
