“Regina kept my aging medically challenged blue heeler while I was in Australia. Even with the 15 hour time change, we communicated effectively through messenger. She gave him his meds twice a day (NOT) fun but was resourceful and patient. She stayed with him all day and he misses her. Highly Reccomend”
“Kali is amazing! Our dogs get so excited to see her, and settle right into her presence as soon as she arrives. She's a great communicator and very punctual. Will continue to book!”
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Enya is amazing! We will definitely be using her again in the future. Our pup had a couple of rough days with some stomach issues and separation anxiety and Enya handled it like a pro. She showed such care for our animals. We would without hesitation recommend her to others.”
“I don't have enough words to express how great Carrice is!!! Carrice was seriously amazing with my boy Otis. He’s a recent rescue and still has some house training issues, so leaving him with someone new was EXTREMELY nerve wracking for me, especially because me and him are still getting to know each other too. She made me feel so much better the entire time by constantly keeping me updated, sending me pics + vids, and letting me know how he was doing. She was so patient and understanding with his accidents and just really kind to him in general. He got so much love and attention, and she even taught him how to sit!! She also kept my house super clean while I was gone, which I didn’t even ask her to do, and I appreciated that so much, especially because I wasn’t feeling well when I got back. She’s honestly just a really great person - very patient, thoughtful, understanding, and communicative. I could tell Otis was really cared for and that meant a lot to me. I’d absolutely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone!! (:”
“We have 4 dogs, so it has been hard to find a sitter that is able to handle them all at once, but Samara did an awesome job! From the minute she showed up for the Meet & Greet our dogs fell in love with her. She spent one on one time with each of them during her stay & even bought them some treats that have become their favorites! She was very easy to work with and provided daily updates & pictures as we had requested. Knowing Samara was there made it easy for us to relax while we were away. She truly cared for the pups like they were her own & we can't wait to use her again next time we need a sitter!”
About: What sets me apart? Simple — I believe pets deserve more than just someone to watch them. They deserve genuine love, patience, attention, and a little extra spoiling! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your furry friend is full of playful energy, a little shy, or simply enjoys a peaceful environment, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, dependable, and big on communication! You can expect updates, adorable pictures, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and tails that wag every time I return! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m available seven days a week after 2 PM, allowing me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to providing your furry family members with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s afternoon walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. I understand how important consistency and trust are when choosing someone to care for your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar surroundings. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my approach to match their comfort level, energy, and individual needs. When visiting a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to following all care instructions closely. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and making sure pets receive the attention they deserve. Communication is just as important to me as quality care! I provide updates and pictures so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are happy and in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel like family and every owner feel confident in choosing me! 🐶❤️
“Courtney took great care of my 3yo dog and my house for a whole week! Goldie is an anxious rescue but when we did a meet and greet she was so calm with Courtney that I felt really comfortable leaving them together. Anxiety is her only special need but Courtney was ready, willing, and able to discuss any meds or other care needs when we met in person.”
About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.
“Flor was the sweetest thing and is just so great with dogs. I have a big one too and she handled it so well. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. We both enjoyed her company.”
About: I have always had a soft spot for animals and truly enjoy caring for them. I am a loving, patient, and responsible caregiver who understands that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a safe environment where they can feel comfortable. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I will treat your dog like part of my family while they are in my care. I am happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and companionship. I enjoy having dogs around and am happy to give them the attention they need rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. I will follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they can feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their family is away. My priority is always making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I regularly care for my three-year-old grandchild, so there is a young child in the home. I understand the importance of supervising both children and pets and making sure they interact safely and appropriately. My home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. I do not have any pets of my own, so your dog can receive plenty of individual attention without having to share the space with other animals. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and supervise pets throughout their stay. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care while making sure they feel safe and at home.
“Dylan took excellent care of our two senior dogs as always. One even has fairly complicated medication and feeding requirements as well as closer monitoring and more frequent trips outside. He REALLY saved the day this trip because I got COVID and had to stay an extra day before I could fly. Dylan handles all with ease.”
About: I’ve had animals since I was 10 years old ranging from, dogs, fish, cats, chickens all kinds. I would love to take care of your fur babies and help you out! I can walk any animal weekdays after 6 pm and on the weekends, I can house animals throughout the week but I do have a 9-6 so they will be alone with my own animals during the day except on the weekends I will devote all the special time each animal needs whether that is giving extra play time for the higher energy walks or extra couch time for those home bodies. I have a big backyard completely fenced in.
“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my golden doodle, who can be a little particular when it comes to people. She was patient, kind, and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent daily updates with pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house — couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”

“My dog took Kristy immediately, which is not common for my rescue with some anxiety. Kristy provided pictures and reassurance that all was going well. She did a great job and would love to use her again.”
“Charlene was even more amazing the second time around when we asked her to house sit last minute. She kept our dogs entertained, well taken care of and our house exactly how we left it- clean! 😁 she is so great with my large dog who has separation anxiety and sent me tons of photos and videos of him having a great time which made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be contacting her again for all of my house/dog sitting needs while we’re away.”
About: I have taken care of my moms friends dogs and cats since 7. Friends and family relied on me for taking care of their pets. I’m a part time student.

The average cost of House Sitting in Kaufman is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $46 per night.

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 Kaufman 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 Kaufman 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 Kaufman 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 Kaufman. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
