“Thank you, Rebecca! SHE IS a dog whisper! She sat for two non-social dogs that had never been apart from both owners simultaneously. Her in depth knowledge and experience with dogs was recognized at the first meet-n-greet, but even more so with the two days/one night she spent at our home caring for Buddy and Willow. She knows dogs, their temperaments, senses, etc. Rebecca provided us an opportunity to go have a wonderful experience at our youngest daughter's college graduation without the concerns of working schedules around the dogs. She was a 'big piece' of making that all happen, and words cannot express our gratitude for your services!! Highly recommend Rebecca!! One very special lady!!”
“Madelyn came to our home to care for our new puppy while we were out of town. We've never had an in-home sitter and can't say enough positive comments about Madelyn and this experience! She was exceptionally communicative throughout the weekend with numerous updates and pictures. Madelyn clearly has a love of animals that shows in her care and interactions. We highly recommend Madelyn to help you care for your pets when you're away! She will definitely be the first one we contact if we are in need of an in-home pet sitter again!”
“Adrian was so amazing with our two pups! Our sweet babies can get very anxious but he kept them so calm and happy while we were away. He sends THE BEST pictures of your babies to update you. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Stacey did an amazing job! From the moment we met her, we could see how much she genuinely loves animals, and we knew our fur babies would be in great hands. She communicated with us throughout the weekend, keeping us updated on how everything was going and sending lots of wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Without a doubt, Stacey is the best sitter we've had. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets!”
“Michelle was awesome with our girls. They did not seem to be stressed when we got home. She sent daily pics and updates on their activities. We will definitely use her again on our next trip.”
About: I'm a stay at home mom of 6 kids and have many pets. I have had dogs and other pets all of my life. I have obedience training knowledge, and have trained all of my dogs. I'm a stay at home mom, so I'm able to provide quality attention. Dogs are let outside every hour (shorter times when weather is hot). I live in a friendly neighborhood to go on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard with an 8 foot tall fence. Thank you for your time and hope to meet soon! *other animal care too* I take care of animals all day every day. My schedule is mostly open, other than kids' activities. Summer schedule is different than when school is in session. I have a large yard with secure fencing. Also can crate your furry friend at night if necessary. I want to treat them like you do in your own home.
“Conner took excellent care of the boys. Sent lots of great pictures, which made me feel comfortable that everything is going well. I highly recommend Connor her Dog Sitting and look forward to having him sit for us again!”
“Louann stayed with our 2 dogs over the weekend while we were away. She did a wonderful job and made us feel at ease knowing they were being taken care of and getting attention while we were gone. I will definitely use Louann again. It's hard to find someone who has such a passion for dogs as she does!”
About: Hi, I’m Krista! Dogs have been the center of my life for more than 15 years. My experience goes far beyond pet sitting—I’ve worked extensively with rescue dogs, including those who have experienced neglect, fear, medical challenges, and behavioral issues. Helping dogs decompress, build trust, and feel safe is something I’m truly passionate about. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or just enjoys a quiet place to relax, I tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to earn their trust while making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and secure. I treat every dog as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pet is receiving one-on-one attention—not just being supervised. My goal is simple: I want your dog to be excited to come back. Whether you need overnight boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks, you can count on dependable, compassionate care from someone with years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is built around feeding, exercising, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with pets. Because I have years of experience with rescue animals, I’m accustomed to maintaining consistent routines and adapting to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening playtime, or overnight care, I intentionally plan my days to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I only accept the number of pets I can comfortably give personalized care, so your pet will never feel like just another booking. I offer flexible care based on what works best for you and your pet. In your home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and plenty of companionship while also treating your home with the utmost respect. For pets staying in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, low-stress environment where they receive personalized attention, regular exercise, and lots of affection. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so every pet gets the individual care they deserve, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.
“Amy is really amazing! We’ve experienced horror stories with other pet sitters but you have nothing to worry about with Amy. We could tell she truly loved our pets and would send us pictures on a daily basis. She was on time and quick to reply to us. We will definitely be repeat customers. Highly recommend!”
“Caleb did a great job with our 3 dogs we had one that needed meds twice a day and he did great. I would recommend him to sit your fur babies he stayed at our home and left it clean.”
“Kali did an incredible job of looking after our dogs. We had plenty of updates and photos and the house was left spotless. Will definitely use Kali again and highly recommend her services”
“Haley is the best sitter we have had! She takes the time to meet and understand your dogs’ needs first. I really appreciate all the updates she provides-videos, photos and messages so you know what is going on with your babies. She is extremely kind to my dogs and communicates very well. Highly recommend!”
“Gabbi did a wonderful job for us. She's responsible and conscientious and loved on our pup so well that when we returned home, the sad story our dog gave us was very short compared to other times we've had to leave her. That alone, made us feel so relieved knowing she was so well cared for. We will definitely be using Gabbi and her services again!”
“Tom is a gem and we were lucky to find him after our relocation to East Texas. We left our home knowing that our babies were in good hands. Tom was respectful of our property and we were very comfortable being away. It was a fantastic experience.”
About: I’ve grown up on a farm & helped raise dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, cows, ducks, & hamsters! I have a love for all animals :) I am a law student, so when I’m not in class, I can drop in to care for your pet! I’m also available anytime on weekends! I have a fenced yard for your fur baby to play in. I also have a male (neutered) dog who just turned two. He’s very friendly and trained! I have a large crate if your pet needs to be crated for any reason, otherwise they are welcome to snuggle on my couch or bed with me!!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Knollwood
Cameron goes WAY above and beyond!!! One cat had a medical emergency, and he was right on it - and it turned out to be non life threatening. But I was in the hospital, and it was SO comforting knowing the care Cameron was giving my fur babies!!!! I can’t say enough about how appreciative I am of his services, and I will always request Cameron first for any future bookings!!!!
I had an amazing experience with Jocelyn watching my pup! She stayed overnight for three nights and did a fantastic job. You can really tell she cares about the animals she’s sitting. I received regular updates and tons of pictures, which put my mind at ease. Definitely will be rebooking her whenever I need a pet sitter again! Thanks, Jocelyn!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Knollwood on Rover is $49.95 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 460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Knollwood. 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 Knollwood 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 Knollwood 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 Knollwood 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Knollwood. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 85% 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.
