About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.
“Michelle did well with staying a few nights. House was in good shape as when we left. Our dog seems to have been taken well care of and happy. I received pictures daily, which I enjoyed!”
About: I have worked in a mixed animal clinic for 3 years. I have a degree in equine business with preVet qualifications. I have taken care of pets and livestock since I could walk. I have experience with the youngest to senior pets. I’m currently available before work and after work to check in on your pets! I’m used to all different kinds of animals as well as several different needs. My dog is fully crate, leash, off-leash, and car trained and loves to play. I can crate your dog and give it the best care and attention just like mine gets! I have petsitted for multiple friends and family while they’re out of town.
“Amy was phenomenal dealing with our many animals and our home. She is kind, caring, and thoughtful. All of my animals were extremely comfortable with her and I felt confident going on vacation with them in her care.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the dependable, loving care I bring to every pet I meet. I grew up showing livestock, so being around animals, from dogs and cats to livestock, has always been second nature to me. That upbringing taught me responsibility, patience, and how to tune into what animals need, even when they can't say it out loud. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, whether it's helping with puppy training, giving extra love to senior dogs, or just making sure your pup sticks to their routine while you're away. I'm also super communicative and always happy to send updates and photos. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like family, with tons of love, respect, and tail-wagging fun. I am a graduate from Texas A&M and I have free time on weekends to walk, feed, and check up on dogs. I am not allowed to have any animals at my house so this gives me the chance to give all of my love that I have for animals and help someone that is needing a sitter. Growing up I was around my dogs everyday. I went on walks with them, played and trained them and even took them to get pup cups. I would give pets my undivided attention when I am taking care of them and will treat them as if they were my own.
“Chris really gave me so much peace of mind knowing that he was at our house with our three rambunctious pups- all were pretty tuckered when I got home, and our home was left clean and tidy! Thank you so much Chris! I’m hoping that our pups get to meet in the future!!!”
“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: I have been working for a dog daycare and boarding company for a little over two years now! I love dogs and enjoy taking care of them but I need to work closer to home. I have experience bathing, blow drying, and trimming nails. I have worked with a maximum of 50 dogs in my yard over the holidays. While I am currently working in a dog daycare facility in the new year I will be working close to home. I will have open availability except Saturday mornings by January 1st! In my job we make sure every dog is happy, healthy, clean, and well fed. I keep notes on how dogs have been eating, any changes in behavior, and always pet them thoroughly to check for any concerns.
“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.”
“Danielle is nothing short of a dog whisperer! Our dogs are pretty anxious, but Danielle’s presence and natural demeanor calmed them immediately and allowed them to relax and trust that she had everything under control. She checked in with us multiple times a day, which alone eased our own anxiety about leaving the pups for a week. She went the extra mile every day and our house even looks better than when we left! Danielle’s an absolute delight and we could not have asked for a more caring, thoughtful, or conscientious person to take care of our babies. We are incredibly fortunate—and so are our pups!”
About: Loving and caring for pets is something I have done from a very young age, I enjoy the company of all types of fury friends! I have a flexible work schedule so I’m available for pet sitting most weekends, if I have a few days notice I could even pet sit during the week as well! I’m unable to pet sit in my home because I do not have a yard, however, I will always keep your pets safe in your home and treat them with love!
About: My whole life has been spent around fur babies! There is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with animals. I’ve been pet sitting for the last 5 years and have experience with all pets. I am a college student and have a very open schedule throughout the week. I do have a job as well but my availability is mostly open! I am very respectful for not only the pets needs but the owners needs as well. I’m will do everything I can to make the pet and owner comfortable. I see myself as a very attentive and helpful person which I take pride in!
“Michelle did a great job of taking care of our fur babies! They all seemed happy and healthy when we got home. And Michelle left us a nice water bottle for Tessa’s walk😃😊 Michelle is very sweet, helpful and accommodating, and I definitely recommend having her care for your fur babies! 💗💗”
“Tamya is an absolute delight - this is the second time she has come and stayed with my Baby girl in my home and always takes such good care of her and my house - excellent communication and sent me picture's and updates all the time - would recommend to anyone”
About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Kiowa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 957 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Kiowa. 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 Lake Kiowa 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 Lake Kiowa 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 Lake Kiowa 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.

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.
