“Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!”
“Wonderful house and dog sitter. First time using Sharla and will be using her again. She sent pictures and kept us updated. One of our dogs likes to escape through the fence and Sharla went out of her way to block his attempt and keep him safe.”
About: I took care of dogs for a short time, with old partners. They were brought into my life and I don’t see them much these days but the time I was included in their life it brought joy to me. I don’t own dogs myself but I actively help to take care of two dogs with my partner. They are so funny and crazy, and I absolutely adore them. I am willing to care for small and large dogs size does not deter me all of their basic needs are a breeze for me and any special requirements I am sure I can manage! I work part time as a pharmacy technician, my hours are generally short and spread out across the week so I have plenty of time to be flexible and head to and fro. I don’t generally do a whole lot other than anyone else’s daily errands cooking, cleaning, and such so I’m not required to use any other spare time for anything so I can put your pets first! I will not be offering boarding services, I am available for in-home pet care. I am capable of all basic care , including any special requirements for feeding or medication or anything like that does not deter me. I was the sole caretaker of my own tripod for the months after his amputation. He required daily medications and monitoring, special adjustments around the house for his own daily routine, and so on. So I am not afraid to help with any special care.
About: I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I have 6+ years experience in a veterinary hospital setting caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Animals are a true gift and I believe they all have a unique and special way of communicating with us. Through energy, body language, vocalization and behaviors. If we take the time to slow down and understand each animal for who they are, we can learn so much! I truly look forward to getting to know your fur babies and treating them as my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Plenty of time for walks, snuggles and backyard playtime. I am home most weekends and can accommodate extended stays or last minute pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room indoors for your pets to relax. I have 1 neutered male dog named Floki that is very well behaved and will love the company of your pets.

(Please send me a message if you want to schedule a session on a particular day). - I'm happy to provide photos & let you know how your pup was doing throughout his walk adventure. I'm genuine concern for your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am looking forward to meeting your furry family member. See you, new adventures ahead!!
“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.”
“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!”

“Karla came by for a meet and greet after I booked her last minute, and my dogs immediately ran to her! She showed them so much love and made them feel comfortable right away.

I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Karla again! 🐾💕”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have hands-on experience caring for my own cat, so I understand the importance of providing individualized care, patience, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Every animal deserves knowledgeable, compassionate care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own animals. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and pet sitting is the perfect fit alongside my work as an independent artist. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care for dogs, cats, and even exotic pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep food and water areas clean, clean up after your pets, and make sure your home stays tidy while you’re away. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience by keeping both your pets and your home safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return.
“Luke had the best experience, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful from start to finish, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Luke was genuinely cared for and not just watched. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I would absolutely trust David again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional.”
About: Dogs are my favorite thing in the world. I make up little songs for every dog I see. A walking song, a dinner song, a nap song. Walks, feeding, medicine, overnight stays, I do it all too. I’m your dog’s new BFF! I do this full-time, so I am available every day. Quick to respond and often available same day. Just let me know when you need me and I’ll be there! I am very careful on walks and always watch for anything your dog could get into. In the yard, I keep an eye out for anything dangerous. If your dog needs medicine, I make sure it happens the same time, every time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life my last dog I had for 17 years old he was a chihuahua and was with me through high school college and kids! He passed away in 2020 and I’ve since picked up pet sitting to help give love I have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kemp is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $93 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 257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kemp. 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 Kemp 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 Kemp 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 Kemp 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 Kemp. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
