“Shayn went above and beyond for us for an overnight visit while we were away. She took such great care of our doodles and communicated with us every step of the way! She even stayed later than originally booked and fed them dinner and took them out one more time so they wouldn’t be alone for too long before we returned. We will definitely be relying on her for future sitting needs!”

About: With over five years of professional experience working in dog training, boarding, and grooming facilities, I have developed a strong understanding of canine care and behavior. I have also volunteered extensively with animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs and cats from a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and learning their unique personality, routines, and preferences. I believe that by providing personalized care I can help your pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Throughout my life, I have cared for and pet sat a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, birds, and reptiles. I am comfortable caring for animals with different needs and personalities, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and provide them with reliable, loving care! As a stay at home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. My husband is currently stationed at Dyess, so we’re still fairly new to the area and I’m excited to get to know the community and meet some new furry friends along the way! I’m currently taking online classes, which gives me the flexibility to plan my days around pet sitting visits, walks, playtime, and whatever care your pets need. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since we already have two dogs of our own, we are currently at our home’s pet limit and unfortunately aren’t able to accommodate overnight stays for additional pets. I would be more than happy to provide drop in visits and care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. I’m happy to stop by for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra companionship and attention while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats growing up. I am currently a mom of 2 dogs in college right now. I take time in between classes to make sure my dogs are taken care of. I can always fit your pup in my schedule. No matter the day or time, I am always willing to help. I will treat them as my own. I am very trusting and respectful. All i want is to help you out when needed. Whether it is a quick check in visit, or a walk outside.

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for pets, mainly helping family members with pet sitting. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality! I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and keeping their space clean. I’ll do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Your pets will be treated like family! I work part time throughout the week, but I do my best to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m available on different days throughout the week, depending on my work schedule. I’ll communicate with you ahead of time to make sure we find a schedule that works for both of us! I have two dogs of my own, and they’re truly part of my family! They’re welcome on the furniture and receive lots of love and attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for your pets, I’ll respect your house rules, follow your instructions, and make their safety and well-being my priority.

FAQs for House Sitting - Impact

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Impact is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 62 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Impact. 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 Impact 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 Impact 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 Impact 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Impact. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
