“Regina is great! My puppies just love her and I highly recommend her! One of my pups is very skittish and he warmed right up to Regina and even ate his dinner for her. Thank you so much Regina for watching my pups! Sherry Seale”
About: Hello! I’m so excited to meet your furry family member. I provide a warm, calm, and deeply attentive environment for dogs right in the comfort of their own home. Whether you are heading out for a weekend getaway or a short trip, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind and keep your dog's regular routine perfectly intact. I have spent my entire life caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. From energetic giant breeds to tiny, gentle seniors, and ive watched dogs that require extra monitoring, strict schedules, and complex medication regimes. If your pup needs oral pills, supplements, or careful observation, you can rest easy knowing they are in responsible, capable hands. Because I focus on weekend positions, my time is entirely dedicated to your dog. They will get endless belly rubs, cozy couch snuggles, and the focused attention they deserve while you are away. During the week my husband travels for work with our car so i am unable to sit during the week but i am available full time on weekends/weekend overnight if needed. i come to you, the goal is to keep your furry family member as comfortable and as happy as possible so i would come and keep your regular routine while you’re away.
“Omg… KELILA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So kind, so helpful and most importantly my baby loved her so mix. She was the best sitter I have ever had, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Kelila.”
“Enya is all charm and confidence as well as competence in one. We received a lot of updates from our 2 dogs and 2 Guinea pigs. Great peace of mind while we were away. Definitely we will call on her for our next travel.”
About: I have a wide variety of experience between helping you continue manner training, to grooming small dogs. When I’m not loving on your dog, I’m loving mine. Helping pets feel their best is my passion, so seeing your dog multiple times a day will make me happy. I do rover full time Maintaining your house rules including your dog’s training and safety are top priority. Keeping track of your dogs behavior and making a relationship is imperative.
“Erica was amazing with our babies! We have a senior pup that needs special attention and Erica took extra special care for her and did amazing. We were so pleased we immediately book her for another longer stay. She is now our go to person!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received this weekend! Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, but from the moment we met, I knew they were in great hands. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious my babies were well cared for, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. When I came home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful stay. I truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and genuine love shown to my pets. It’s clear that caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s something Rachel genuinely enjoys. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies!”
“Paydence was wonderful. She communicated throughout the visit and was so respectful of my house. I came back to a very well cared for pup and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an A+ sitter.”
“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.”
About: For starters I have been a pet owner my whole life with dogs, and even hamsters guinie pigs and birds when I was rlly little. I’ve always loved all animals and spoil the heck out of them especially my Yorkie poo. My oldest 3 dogs lived to be 17/18 and needed senior care which we gladly did. (We like to say our dogs live long because they didn’t want to leave us) I’ve helped puppies find homes and got them out of bad living situations they were in. I work from home as a lash tech and have a flexible schedule so I am able to make my own schedule weekly making drops in and overnight easily accessible. If I am taking care of your pet I will treat them as my own! I will make sure all your requests are met and your fur baby is safe and cared for as well as loved.
About: Hi! I'm Brooke, and caring for animals is truly one of my biggest passions. In my free time, I volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I help with everything from cleaning kennels, feeding dogs, washing dishes, doing laundry, walking dogs, socializing them, and helping them feel loved while they wait for their forever homes. I've also fostered dogs, giving them a safe and loving place to stay until they're adopted, and I have several pets of my own that I absolutely adore. Because of my experience, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, feeding, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'm dependable, patient, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're gone. I'm also happy to help with multiple pets, basic home care, or any other tasks that make your time away stress-free. I’m currently unemployed so I’m home pretty often. The only time I am out and about is when I’m volunteering at my local shelter. I care for the pets however the owner would like me to under whatever rules they have for their pet while still caring for the pet like it’s my own
“Taylor was great! She was very communicative and our dogs loved having her! She sent pictures of her visit which gave us huge peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Melanie is great, we recommend her 100%. We needed a house sitting last minute. She fed our pets according to the instructions we left and respected our home. She kept us updated with pictures which really provided us peace of mind.”
“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!”
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kaufman on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 976 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kaufman. 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 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 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.
