About: 🎄 Now accepting new clients for the upcoming holiday season! Need someone reliable while you’re traveling, working, or spending time with family? I’m currently accepting new drop-in, house sitting, and walking clients for the holidays. I’m especially happy to help with last-minute care when my calendar allows — send me a request and let’s see if I’m a good fit for your pets! 🐾 I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making sure each pet feels happy and secure in their routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home most of the day and have a flexible schedule. This means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime rather than leaving them alone for long periods. House sitting & drop-in care are my specialties! 🐾 I love giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and routine while their people are away. I'm home full-time, have 6 years of pet-care experience, and can give your pets consistent care and plenty of photo updates throughout their stay. I also offer boarding in my home for families who prefer that option.
“Chrissy did awesome with our pups and was so patient with our pup that has anxiety with new people. She was so helpful and was able to give them their medicine! I definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Rachal was great took really good care of our boy, and I know how annoying a puppy this age can get, he learned a lot, including a lot of really useful behavior. He was well fed, clean and the house is clean, she played with him lots and kept me updated. 100% would recommend and will book with her again.”
About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and some reptiles. I also have experience caring for plants, so all of your living babies will be safe with me! I’m well-rounded, patient, and will treat your babies as my own. I have shadowed at a vet clinic and interned at a 24 hour animal hospital. I also took veterinary classes in high school, and helped out in the grooming facility at the school. I’ve always had a pet at any given moment throughout my life. I even cared for 9 dogs at one time! I am available to house sit and care for your pets full-time! I’d like to keep visits and walks between 8am-7pm. Send me a message! :) A typical day includes making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I start with feeding according to their routine, fresh water, and a potty break or litter check. Throughout the day, I provide walks (if applicable), playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection always tailored to your pet’s energy level and personality. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and mood, and I follow any specific instructions you leave. I also make time for quiet rest so pets don’t feel overstimulated, and I’m happy to send updates or photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Marisol was so great with our three pups!! And they loved her so much!! We came home to stress free pups after being gone a full day away. We will definitely be using Marisol for future days away!! She is very punctual and communicates so well and sends pics of our happy pups!!”
“Darren is a thoughtful care giver for my fur babies. After months of not walking them, he got them back into a routine to help myself and my dogs on the road to wellness. Our home was cared for and has been super attentive to our needs. All instructions were followed and felt confident about Darren's care while we were on holiday. I highly recommend his services!”
“Ryan was amazing! Our two dogs are super lovey but slow to warm up to new people an he handled them well and had them following him around very quickly. When we got home, while they were of course happy to see us, they did not seem as sad/needy as they have when we have ben out for similar lengths of time (~10days). Ryan is amazing and kept us informed the entire time, even with a 6 hour time difference. Will definitely book again!!”
“We had a great experience with Nell this weekend. She was punctual, reliable, and kept us updated with pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her again!”
“We needed to find a sitter at the last minute, and we’re so grateful we found Courtney! She was able to come for a meet and greet the same day and arrived right on time the following day to look after our dog for two days. Courtney took wonderful care of our dog and was very respectful of our home. She followed all our instructions, including twice-daily walks, feeding, and medication, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would absolutely love to have Courtney look after our dog again. Highly recommend! Thank you again, Courtney!”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs—whether my own or those belonging to neighbors and friends; I feed them, walk them, and attend to their needs. I currently have a full schedule available, so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, take them for walks, and keep them company. I am available for boarding on weekends and during the week starting at 9:00 a.m. The care takes place in my home, which is very safe, warm, and peaceful; there is a park nearby for taking long walks. where you can feel very comfortable and at ease
About: (Note to new clients: Please talk to me BEFORE you CONFIRM a booking so I can help you SAVE, thank you!) I am located in Killeen. I love small dogs more than anything else, and have been told by the people who met me and my dogs that I am the best dog owner based on how well cared for my little furry friends look. I can help you take care of your precious dogs so that you can have your mind at ease and enjoy your holidays 😊 I also provide flat rate spa service at $65 per small dog. This includes bathing, drying, eye and ear wash, nail trimming, haircut/deshedding, and styling. Thank you for your interest! I have many years of experience in taking care of both puppies and adults of small breeds. I will do everything within my power to ensure their safety and happiness. My house will be the cleanest and safest environment for your small dogs. No health hazards, no medium/big dogs, no cats, no loud noises, no human kids, no chaos. I do not even own a TV, and I play the piano to them sometimes. This is a calm, beautiful place with nice little doggy friends, cozy beds, fun toys, a cute outdoor playground, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care. I also cannot afford to have people changing their minds after taking up the spot of someone else who had really needed it. I hope you understand, thank you so much ❤️) 🌷$50 PER OVERNIGHT BOARDING SESSION INCLUDING 🌷 - Two meals and two treats a day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jarrell
Thanks Kate for taking care of our fur babies! They were well taken care of, as was our home :) Kate was very considerate in so many ways and she was always anticipating our pups’ outside needs in between bursts of rain. We felt very comfortable with trusting her with our dogs and our space. We would love to have her again! :)
Magen did a great job with my two Teacup Yorkies. She went above and beyond and was very attentive to their needs. I would definitely ask her to look after them in the future. They were ecstatic to see her each day. Thanks for making me feel at ease knowing my pups were in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Jarrell is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $65 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 2,214 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jarrell. 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 Jarrell 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 Jarrell 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 Jarrell 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 Jarrell. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
