About: I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember, and I'm the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and just about everyone in my circle. My experience includes working in doggy daycare and animal shelters, where I cared for pets with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Because of that, I'm comfortable handling animals of any size and confident administering medications/taking care of any special needs. Beyond professional experience, I spend my time fostering both cats and dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and cared for while they waited for their forever homes. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires a little extra attention, I strive to provide compassionate, reliable care and treat every animal as if they were my own. i'm currently working full time, i have a dog of my own who i take care of. most of my off the clock hours revolve around making sure she is happy and content! i plan to add your pets needs to that schedule! I have a dog park I use at my complex for some free roaming as well as walks at my nearest park. in home, i can crate if needed or your pet is welcome to hang out around the house with us!
“Marie did an excellent job staying at house with our 2 dogs while we went on vacation. We got regular updates and the dogs had a great time and we came home to very happy dogs. Highly recommend Marie.”
“Emma did an outstanding job house sitting for our cat Ziggy for 3 nights. Emma is responsible, very sweet, communicative, sent lots of updates & photos - she’s a real “cat whisperer!” Our cat was clearly comfortable with her & even slept in the bed with her! She took great care of our house & left it in better shape than when we left! She provided real peace of mind & we look forward to working with Emma in the future.”
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I bring real pet-owner experience to every visit. I currently have a dog and have previously cared for cats and bunnies, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I strive to make every pet feel loved, safe, and cared for."🐾💕 I am available early mornings for feedings, exercise, and check ins, as well as midday visits and walks, making sure your pet is comfortable and loved through the day. My fur baby is created when unattended and has a doggy park to run around unleashed in the apartment complex. Always leashed walks around the neighborhood, complex, and parks.
“John was great very communicative, attentive, and punctual with Bella. This was my first experience using a sitter outside of my family, and I must say I was really happy to have found him. He made the entire process comfortable and stress-free, and I would absolutely recommend him as a sitter.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our senior boy Hobbes is pretty easy but does need attention. Abby was wonderful!! Our home was in great shape and Hobbes was happy. Thank you Abby!!!”
About: I stand out because I have real, hands-on experience with all kinds of pets. I have six pets of my own (three dogs and three cats) that I’ve cared for since they were babies, so I truly understand daily pet care, routines, and responsibility. I’ve also been dog sitting for neighbors since I was 13, which has given me years of experience with different personalities and needs. I’ve worked with mean dogs, anxious dogs, and super energetic dogs, so I know how to stay calm, patient, and adjust my approach to each animal. Right now, I’m caring for my elderly blue heeler, so I’m especially comfortable with senior care, including slower walks, medications, and extra attention. I also have experience caring for puppies and helping them adjust to routines. Overall, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits really well into my schedule. I’m a full-time college student in the Price College of Business at OU, and my classes usually end in the early afternoon, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care during the day. I also teach cheer and tumbling lessons part-time, but those are scheduled and flexible, so I’m able to plan around them. Because of this, I have consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m very organized with my schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it and fit it naturally into my daily routine. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine the same. I carefully follow all instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secure and that pets are supervised and safe at all times. I respect the home by keeping everything clean and organized, and I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort and boundaries. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or senior pets, and adjust my care to meet their needs. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat both pets and homes with care and respect, and I always aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: I have 10+ years in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. Before I started my family, the animals I’ve cared for were treated as my own. I look forward to experiencing life with your furry friends. I currently work full time in management at a dog boarding / daycare facility. I specialize in dogs of all ages, temperament levels, and medical conditions. I have a full fenced back yard with a kiddie pool (weather permitting), water bowls, and my own three legged dog to keep your pup company.
About: I started dog walking and pet sitting at 18 as a way to pay rent during COVID. Like anyone learning on the job, I made some mistakes in the beginning, but over the past 6 years, I’ve made a complete 180 — gaining valuable knowledge and refining my skills to care for animals the right way. Now at 24 and working toward becoming a veterinarian, this has grown from a job into a true passion. I combine experience, education, and genuine love for animals to provide the best care possible for your furry friends. My schedule varies weekly, so I update my calendar regularly to ensure you can easily book dog walking and sitting services whenever you need it. When walking dogs, I always bring a water dispenser and doggy bags, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. For dog boarding, your dog will feel right at home! Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, following your training guidelines. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours and extra walks for energetic pups to burn off energy. Bedtime is at 8 PM, with the last walk of the day to help your dog settle in comfortably.
“Terri was awesome! I have to high energy pups and she absolutely wore them out! She swam with them and kept them on their toes with training. We will definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hufsmith
We had a good overall experience with our Rover sitter and would hire her again. Our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for when we returned home, and there were no accidents. She communicated throughout our trip, sent photos, and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall, we appreciated knowing our pups were cared for, and we’d be comfortable booking with her again.
Monica was amazing! On our initial visit, we knew she would be great for our two beagles as she was interactive and appeared to have an ability to connect with our dogs in a positive way. The housesitting experience was dynamic and interactive with numerous daily check-ins and pics of our happy dogs. The house appeared to be left in better shape than how we left it. She even left us a framed pic of our two dogs sitting obediently next to each other, when typically, they are going at each other. I highly recommend Monica and team, for any dog care you may need. Thanks - and we will be connecting with you soon for additional services.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hufsmith
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hufsmith on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,325 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hufsmith. 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 Hufsmith 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 Hufsmith 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 Hufsmith 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.
