“Amanda took excellent care of my beagle guy while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos! It gave me real peace of mind. My dog seemed happy, well-exercised, and comfortable when I returned. I would absolutely book them again if I ever travel back to Houston.”
“Stephanie took great care of my cats while I was away. She was able to follow all instructions I left about picking up and dropping off the keys and fob, and gave me plenty of daily updates. I’d greatly recommend her services!”
“I’m so happy Angie popped up as available! She stayed in my home and truly went above and beyond. Her communication was consistent and reassuring, and I came back to an incredibly clean space and very happy pups! Before the stay, she even arranged a meet and greet to make sure my dogs were as comfortable with her as she was with them. Such a kind, thoughtful soul — I couldn’t be more impressed or thankful. I’d book Angie again in a heartbeat!”

About: It’s been a little over 4 years since I had Cookie, my english bulldog, and I’ve learned/become accustomed to caring for a high maintenance and allergy prone dog. I also house/dog sit for a family friend and she has 2 elderly & lower maintenance german shorthaired pointers. I just finished summer college classes and am focusing on my physical health as I find work, so I have plenty of free time to care for animals!! When caring for animals in the owner’s home I follow all the rules I’m given, and if allowed I love to keep them company especially if they’re the only pet home. If they do not have cameras watching their pets then I’d gladly send photos/videos as updates!
“Marissa was punctual in arriving to sit for my pup. Pistachio was relaxed and cozy with Marissa. I was happy to see how quickly he warmed up to her. This was my first time using Rover and using a daytime sitter. Im glad the experience was a positive one and I would definitely use Marissa again in the future.”
“Let is very responsive and communicative. She is a considerate dog sitter and house sitter. We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. Our shy senior dog has to go out often and takes meds but he was well taken care of. Let is very kind and we would absolutely use her services again.”
“We highly recommend Sara and will definitely be hiring her again! She did an amazing job walking our large, leash reactive dogs and handled them with no issues. I noticed on her profile that she has two children, and I let her know she was welcome to bring them along if she wanted to. She sent us so many adorable photos and videos from each visit, and our dogs were happily cuddled up with her kids. It was clear that Sara and her children are wonderful with dogs, and we felt completely comfortable with them around ours. Sara was punctual, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated throughout the visits. After the first day, I hardly even checked my phone because I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We truly only have positive things to say. Thank you again, Sara! We’ll definitely be booking with you again! ❤️”
“Molly was very communicative and loving with my pup! She handled lots of medicines like a champ. I’m so grateful to Molly for looking after my girl while I was out of town.”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician working in both general practice and emergency medicine, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) If we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or just spending time together, I make sure every pet receives care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. It’s my priority to provide reliable care that keeps your pet comfortable and maintain their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet may need :) Because I’m a veterinary technician, I'm able to recognize changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your vet’s instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want to build trust with both you and your pet through reliable, compassionate care.
“Stephanie was so wonderful with my dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures and let me know everything she was doing. It’s so appreciated when you leave your babies at home with someone new. She also left my home probably cleaner than I left it which was very sweet and thoughtful. I would definitely use Stephanie again.”
About: With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime spent around animals, I bring both experience and genuine care into every home I enter. I believe pets deserve more than having their basic needs met—they deserve patience, companionship, affection, and someone who takes the time to understand their individual personalities and routines. I’m attentive, nurturing, respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment while their family is away. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I have taken care of all sizes of dogs from Rottweilers to German Shepard to jack russel terroirs. Cats, dogs, bearded dragons, bunnies, turtles and more. I truly enjoy having a pet as they bring life to a family in ways they never knew they could! For me, pet sitting is an opportunity to build meaningful connections with animals while giving their families peace of mind. 🐶🐱🤍 I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and make sure they have someone in the home connecting with them as much as possible! 📆🦮 I care for each pet according to their individual personality, needs, established routine, and their owner’s household rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to learn their feeding and walking schedules, energy levels, boundaries, favorite activities, sleeping routines, and any special instructions their owner provides. I also respect all home rules, including where pets are allowed, cleanliness expectations, security procedures, and how the home should be maintained. My goal is to keep their environment and routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while providing plenty of attention, companionship, and loving care. 🐾🤍
“From the beginning, Alfonsina was proactive, communicative, and very considerate of my dogs’ individual comfort levels. When one of my dogs wasn’t fully comfortable with her, she was completely transparent and worked with me to find the best solution rather than forcing the situation. While caring for my other dog, she also kept me updated and took initiative when she noticed irritation on my dog’s paws. She immediately addressed it and made sure my dog was comfortable and cared for while I was away. I really appreciated her communication, transparency, and genuine attentiveness to my dog’s well-being. I highly trust Alfonsina as a sitter and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Ana did a tremendous job watching over our pups while we were out of town. She constantly kept us updated and shared pics letting us know they were in great hands. Would definitely book again, highly recommended!”
“This was my first time using Rover and my first time ever leaving Pete with someone I didn’t personally know, so I was definitely nervous. Emilee immediately made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. I was out of state for 5 days and she sent constant updates, which gave me so much peace of mind the entire trip. I just got back and Pete is happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience I would absolutely book with Emilee again and highly recommend her to anyone!”

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 Jacinto City 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 Jacinto City 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Jacinto City 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.
