“Tisha is SO wonderful and we were so lucky to have found her. She treated my pup so well and took so much time with her. We got a ton of pictures which was awesome too!”
“Reagan was very affordable and took very good care of my home and puppy. Chewie had a few pictures of snuggling up with Reagan. He'll only do that if he likes someone. 😁 Reagan is quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has perfect manners. Sweet person. We will use her again.”

“Karen cared for our three fur kids while we were in a trip abroad. She is responsive and reliable and took great care of our pups. She sent regular updates and photos and promptly responded when I reached out—even when I miscalculated the time change and messaged in the middle of the night! Our home was in great order upon our return and the pups were happy and well cared for. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to travel without worrying about our pups back home. For this, we are very grateful.”

“Kirsten took great care of our two dogs in our home. I appreciated the picture updates and the great communication! She was also a very tidy house guest. We would definitely book with Kirsten again!”

“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”


“Just moved to the area for work and Arden was our hero when we needed someone for nine days! She took such incredible care of our pup and made us feel completely safe with me being new to this area and not knowing anyone. We came back from our trip to a happy puppy who played and was well loved during our time away. She will be our go to at all times! Mieka was crazy about her ❤️”

About: I absolutely love animals so dearly I’m great with young and hyper dogs or cats I am a cat mom to the most beautiful girl I would like to try to do pet care daily or if not than many times a week, I’m always down for going on a walk especially with a fur friend!! If I were to care for pets in my own home,I would make sure we have space to play and I do have a backyard that’s fenced , they will get lots of love:)
About: I grew up with dogs and was fortunate to care for our family dog throughout his life, including his senior years. As he aged and eventually lost his eyesight, I gained firsthand experience adapting routines and providing extra support to help him stay safe and comfortable. While working from home, I was often nearby to help when he became disoriented or got stuck in unfamiliar spaces. Caring for a senior dog taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important consistency can be for animals experiencing age related changes. I understand how stressful it can be to watch a beloved pet grow older, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else's care. Whether your dog is young and energetic or older and needs a little extra attention, I'm committed to following their routine, monitoring their wellbeing, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I'm taking time between full-time positions and exploring different communities while considering my next career move, which allows me to dedicate significant time and attention to the pets in my care. Because my schedule is open, I'm able to structure my days around a pet's needs rather than trying to fit them around a busy work schedule. Whether that means morning walks, maintaining feeding and medication routines, spending extra time with pets who enjoy companionship, or simply being present throughout the day, I can provide consistent care and attention. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to experience a new area through the eyes of local pets. Whether that's exploring neighborhood walking routes with a dog or enjoying a quiet evening at home with a cat. I enjoy a low-key lifestyle and genuinely appreciate the opportunity to provide pets with stability and companionship while their owners are away. At this time, I primarily offer house sitting and care for pets in their own home, where they can remain in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I believe pets are often happiest and least stressed when they can stay in a space they know. Before each stay, I take time to learn about each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household expectations. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any other care requirements provided by the owner. Consistency is important to me because it helps pets feel secure while their families are away. Because I currently have a flexible schedule, I am able to spend significant time with the pets in my care rather than treating pet sitting as something I fit around a busy workday. Whether a pet enjoys playtime, walks, companionship, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need. Communication is also a priority. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can stay informed and have peace of mind while they're away. If I ever have a question or concern, I believe in reaching out promptly rather than making assumptions. When staying in a client's home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want someone to show my own home. I keep the property clean, secure, and well maintained throughout my stay and am mindful of any household rules or preferences. Above all, my goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress experience for both pets and their owners so everyone can feel comfortable and confident while apart.
“An absolutely wonderful lady that has amazing communication, will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind and patient with the animals and I couldn’t be happier with her service.”

About: With a deep passion for pets, I provide a nurturing environment where your furry family members thrive. As someone who values the bond between pets and their owners, I prioritize open communication and genuine connection. With years of experience and a heart full of love for animals, I am not just a pet sitter – I am your pet's second best friend, providing them with the attention, care, and affection they deserve. As a pet sitter, my daily routine revolves around ensuring the well-being of your furry companions. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and administering any necessary medications. I prioritize establishing a routine that aligns with your pet's habits, creating a comfortable and familiar environment. Regular updates and communication with pet owners are integral to my routine, providing peace of mind while you're away. In my home, I create a welcoming and pet-friendly environment, ensuring your furry friend feels comfortable and loved. Daily routines include regular walks, playtime, and adherence to any specific dietary or medical needs. I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates and ensuring their peace of mind. For in-client home care, I strive to replicate the familiar surroundings and routines your pet is accustomed to. This includes feeding, walks, play, and any additional services requested. I prioritize maintaining a clean and safe space, respecting your home and ensuring your pet receives the utmost care and attention in their familiar environment. Communication remains key, with regular updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.

Reagan was very affordable and took very good care of my home and puppy. Chewie had a few pictures of snuggling up with Reagan. He'll only do that if he likes someone. 😁 Reagan is quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has perfect manners. Sweet person. We will use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ingleside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ingleside on Rover is $29.93 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 202 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ingleside. 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 Ingleside 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 Ingleside 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 Ingleside 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 Ingleside. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
