“It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need 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.”
“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”
“Carla was absolutely wonderful with our pup while we were away! She gave her so much love and attention and kept up with her medication regimen. She was very communicative and left our home just the way we left it.”
“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.”
“Ava helped us out for a very last minute weekend trip. Our home and our fur babies were very well taken care of. She was quick at responding to our messages and sent plenty of pictures and videos. We will definitely be recommending her to our friends and will be rebooking with her! Thanks again, Ava!”
“Beverly is great! We had a flight cancellation and she extended her stay with us which helped give us peace of mind that our fur babies were ok. Will definitely use her services again! :)”
“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.”
“Ive used rover a couple of times since moving here and Emely is one of the best sitters I've had the pleased of working with. She was nice, Punctual, provided great communication and consistently provided photos of my dogs. I came home and my house looked exactly as it was when I left. She provided a peace of mind that should be the standard for all dog sitters, I will be using her again in the future!”
“Astrid was great taking care of our two cats! She was prompt, caring, and sent lots of photos during the holiday. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home and caring for our fur babies. Will definitely book with her again!”
“I was so pleased with Tania, would I book her again absolutely. I probably have to leave Kittycat no more than twice a year and so she is not use to having a person she doesn’t know live in her house, but Tania loved her and took care of her so well the pictures that Tania sent showed how Kittycat was completely comfortable and well looked after. Thank you again Tania.”
About: My love of pets began young, as my family always had at least one (and up to three) dogs growing up. My journey of independent pet ownership began when I was 18, moved out, and immediately acquired a plethora of pets. Currently, I am home to 1 dog (Bees) and 5 cats (Yuna, Jody, Mittens, Zeus, and Hera). I began (unofficial) pet sitting at 14, when I would watch my neighbors pets while they were out of town. Since then I have volunteered with Austin Pets Alive! and Dallas Pets Alive! (both incredible organizations) as a foster parent and to assist with cleaning, walking, and playing with their in-shelter animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, cows, fish, and chickens, but am happy to do additional research to learn more about another type of pet if needed! I also have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dog/cat care including giving medication, administering IV fluids at home, and wound care. I love all sizes, ages, and temperaments of pets and would love to provide some snuggles, playtime, and long walks while you're away! I currently work full-time in an incredibly flexible job, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your pet during the work day (M-F) and all day on the weekends! I like to start the mornings and end the (early) evenings with a long walk (I also have cat walking experience!). I can guarantee a potty break a minimum of every 2 hours and a minimum of a combined 2 hours of active time (walks, playing) throughout the day for pets who have a lot of energy! For your pets safety, I will follow any guidelines you provide me to ensure they do not become unnecessarily stressed by a change in routine. I can crate your pet (if desired) and always provide active monitoring of all outside time to ensure they don't Houdini their way out of the yard. I also NEVER assume your cat is an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat unless you EXPLICITLY STATE that I should let them outside. Even for indoor/outdoor cats, I can keep them fully inside while you are away for peace of mind. I also provide daily photo updates so you can see for yourself that your family member is happy and well taken care of!
“Christy was amazing with my pup! She stayed in my home for the weekend to watch her. She was extremely attentive and loving with my girl - sent me tons of photos and videos the whole weekend. I never even had to ask! I'll definitely be using her again.. highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs once or twice with family members. I have my own cat at home and her name is michi. I love to play with her for hours. I have learned to shower her and keep her calm. I’m currently working part-time so I am able to take care of your of your babies when needed! If there’s any questions please feel free to ask. I have a cat backpack which will allow me to transfer your cat or dog easily. I have a large backyard and many toys for your pets :).
About: I have been a dog and cat owner my whole life. Now that I am mostly retired I am available to care for your babes when you are unable to. Your place or mine. I volunteer for dog and cat rescues so I have a lot of knowledge and experience. I am retired so I have lots of time to play. I walk in my neighborhood every morning and evening and would love to walk with a friend. I don't currently have any pets of my own so there will be no issues with unfriendly competition. I know how important communication is regarding your pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawson
NeTia was a fantastic pet/house sitter! She came to my home before her job began to allow the dogs to familiarize themselves with her. Both of my dogs, even my very scared/shy dog, immediately took to NeTia. I believe they noticed her calm presence and felt at ease. I got pictures and consistent feedback from NeTia! I never worried about how the animals were doing! She did a great job with the pets, communication, and keeping the house clean. She even washed, dried, and folded the towels she used! :)
Jean-Carlo is an amazing person, animal love, caregiver - a true blessing for our family! We had never left Fini & Belfry before. JC met with us and our pups, immediately alleviating our fears. He arrived early on departure day, reviewed instructions and comforted us all. JC communicated and sent pics & videos thruout our time away. He totally accommodated Fini & Belfry's personalities, diets (cooking them eggs each morning!) medications, exercise and sleeping arrangements. We have a small farm. Not only did he care for our dogs, he tended to our horse, pony, cows and chickens! He even brought his own tools to pickup dog hair from carpet, the house was cleaner than we left! He went way above & beyond! We whole-heartedly recommend Jean-Carlo to care for your family!
We have used Andrea a few times for our 3 fur babies and she has always been extremely accommodating and friendly. All 3 of our dogs have different temperaments and she handles them accordingly and gives them all the love while we are away. She’s always good with dogs that are not too happy about having a pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lawson on Rover is $36.75 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 3,578 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lawson. 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 Lawson 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 Lawson 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 Lawson 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 Lawson. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
