“Sky was amazing, she was perfectly on time, took great care of both my dogs (1 high energy and 1 old man). She even brought over some dog puzzles for them to snack and play with. I got lots of pictures and videos while away, and felt completely at ease knowing they were well taken care of! She is definitely a dog lover and I plan to book with her again soon!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Coco! Coco became ill right before our trip. Linda gave Coco her medication and special dietary needs to help heal Coco’s gut. We are very appreciative and allowed us to enjoy our trip by knowing Coco was in such capable hands. Our home was well cared for too! Thank you so much. I will totally recommend you to friends and will be rebooking as our travel needs arise.”
About: I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and my first job was walking my neighbor's dogs! Since I am in college I can't have a dog of my own, but I am ready to make fast friends with yours! I am a student and work nights as a server so I have most mornings and afternoons to spend wherever is needed to care for your pet. I also am good at staying the night and making a quality connection with your pets. Although I cannot house your pets in my apartment, I am comfortable staying at your house and taking them to a local park. I will give your pets detailed and attentive care, as often as possible.
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals all my life; cattle, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and many more. I have experience in small dogs and large, specifically dachshunds and Siberian huskies/Malamutes, as I’ve grown up with those breeds since I was a toddler! My home is very assessable to those prone to IVDD as I currently have my Mini-Dachshund living with me. I know how to administer limited medications, pills and solution/liquid medications. I am also able to provide nail trimmings for dogs only, no additional charge; I can provide my own clean dremel/nail clippers. I’m also a very patient person, so new pets won’t be a problem. I have experience with dogs who experience anxiety/are skittish. And I am experienced with elderly pets! I’m currently working part-time as a pharmacy technician (1-3 days a week) and I am in school full-time. I am able to make time after and between classes to fit all the love and attention into the needs of pets. I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex, I’m happy to carry the smaller pets up stairs if they have trouble with stairs! I don’t necessarily have a fenced in yard, but we do have a fenced in area specifically for dogs, most people in the complex don’t use! I enjoy taking the dogs on walks either around campus or shorter walks around the complex/home, I’m very active if your pet needs mental stimulation I am perfect for that; if your pet is more of a calm and lazy animal I can also provide for them as well! I’ve been know to be a very organized person, so if your pet is on a specific schedule I can usually adapt to that schedule very quickly and efficiently whether that’s feeding, walking or medications.
About: I have grown up with pets, I got my own dog when I was 12. I walked, bathed her, and fed her. After school I would walk many neighborhood dogs. I love all animals. We had a cat that got fixed and she ate out her stitches completely and the wound opened up. I calmly held her, packed the wound, and wrapped her up. I held her all the way to the vet. I’ve always loved animals and will take care of yours just as I would my own. Since I have a dog I care for her everyday. I have a job currently at a restaurant so my schedule varies every week, I usually work morning shifts until around 5 pm, but my schedule is different most weeks. I take my dog out right when I wake up and right when I get home, I will also feed her right when I get home. I have a little front yard but the neighborhood I am in is a good place to walk dogs. I have a little dog of my own and I make sure to keep my house clean and anything that could harm her is up and out of the way. In another clients home I would make sure to keep the area just as I found it and take the dog wherever the owner usually would walk there’s or if they have any other requests I would be willing to do them.
About: I raised my first dog at 7, and have been the designated dog trainer, and sitter since. I have fostered over 7 dogs in my lifetime. All different breeds and energy levels. The oldest dog I have adopted was a 15 year old blind dachshund. I am experienced with animals with conditions such as hip pain, aggression, blindness, and hearing impairment. I have two corgis currently, one raised and trained by me, the other a rescue. I am experienced in handling reactive, aggressive dogs, and am equipped to redirect their attention from the trigger with their favorite treats or toy. My work schedule is inconsistent, but I work mornings and early afternoons about 4-5 days a week, and can stop by to feed, or walk early in the morning, and afternoons before work or on my break. I have Sundays off completely I have experience with reactive, very energetic, and or elderly animals. I have looked after just over 7 dogs in my life time, and trained a corgi. I am very patient, it’s their first time on earth too, but assertive if the need arises
“Emily was so good with our 5 dogs. She sent lots of pictures and let us know how they were doing throughout the weekend. Very sweet, easy to work with would highly recommend her. Definitely using Emily next time we need a sitter for the pups”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover who treats every pet like family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also happy to give extra attention to puppies, senior pets, and pets who need a little more patience and care. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and quality time with your pet. I’ll communicate with you throughout the stay and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet in a safe environment, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting your home, I’ll treat your pet and your space with respect. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Alex stepped in quickly and competently when our first house sitter was not holding up her end of the bargain - (we were very worried about our dog and our home!). This meant he had to just show up without a meet and greet with our gal Lucy (60+ pound mixed breed). He made fast friends with her, kept us updated with cute photos, and put our minds at ease. We’re grateful!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have pet-sit on occasion. I have also been around cats for a while and have one of my own. I love all dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pets unique personality. I’m currently in school full time but am usually done with my day by 3pm. I love to go outside so a walk is always in the schedule. I have empty weekends most of the time. I live in a pet friendly apartment with my kitten. I have plenty of sidewalk and parks near me to take a dog or cat on a walk. There’s plenty of space if your pet needs personal space and plenty if they love other animals.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and owned 4 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to pet sit for them throughout high school. I used to only be a dog-person but recently became a cat-person as well, adopting my new kitten named Milo. I'm currently a full-time engineering student at Auburn University but have availability in the mornings and nights on Monday and Friday and available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I live in a studio apartment near Auburn University's campus. I live with just my kitten, Milo, but can come to your house to pet sit. I would be able to take dogs on walks whether they stay at my place or I come to you.
About: Growing up with dogs has led me to be comfortable of dogs any size, but I have grown up with only smaller dogs! I have had dogs with special accommodations so I am more than happy to accommodate! I love going on walks, to the park, & playing with any pup no matter the size & personality!!! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty time to come take care of your sweet doggies! They’re family too! Some days can be a little busy, but we can work something out no problem!!! Growing up with dogs, I have no problem making the dogs feel the most comfortable whether it’s sleeping with someone or in a crate, etc!
About: I have always loved cats dogs or any animal for that matter I have been with them all my life since I can remember! Animals have been apart of my life I do work on Saturdays and have family time on Sundays but any other day I will love to take care of your fur baby! I have a fenced in backyard with front yard and I have a lot of siblings to help keep an eye on your fur baby (but obviously I’m the main one watching them)

FAQs for House Sitting - Little Texas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 275 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little Texas. 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 Little Texas 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 Little Texas 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 Little Texas 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.

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.
