About: I am reliable and routine based. I will ensure the babies are fed,walked,bathed and receive the most love while in my care. Communication is very important to me and memories so I ensure that you will get FaceTime calls with the babies along with photos and videos and even some arts and crafts! I currently work from home so they furr babies will not be left alone. I have an SUV so car rides will be included if owner approved. I live in a two story loft apartment. It is Square Apartments ; so there is a beautiful walking trail on the complex and I also have a play area for the dogs inside of my home. Nap time is crucial so after play time I do play relaxing instrumentals to lounge and decompress. Rubs are a given and lots of hugs.

About: Hi, I’m Connor! My services are dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in Lubbock. I’ve cared for dogs and cats through Rover and for neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy getting to know each pet and following the routine they’re comfortable with. I follow care instructions closely and send photos and updates so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits and can often accommodate morning, midday, and early-evening care. We’ll confirm visit times around your pet’s routine and my existing bookings. For house sitting, I’m available to stay overnight in your home. I may leave during the day for other pet-care visits or personal commitments. Before booking, we’ll agree on the overnight schedule, daytime care, and how long your pets can comfortably be alone. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, bathroom breaks, and household routines, keep fresh water available, and clean up pet-related messes. I pay close attention to doors, gates, and leashes and make sure your pets and home are secure before leaving. I respect your home and house rules and will contact you if I notice anything concerning.
“Jill was amazing watching our dogs while we were away on vacation. Very good and communicating and made sure our one dog with kidney issues was getting her medicine on time and making sure she ate regularly. I would highly recommend using Jill for any of your animal needs.”
“Kathryn was great. She communicated with me beautifully and sent pictures. More importantly my dogs were very happy. One has bad separation anxiety but, it didn’t seem too bad this time. I would most definitely book Kathryn again and recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter!!”
“Aubri was the absolute best! She followed all directions and loved our dogs! I cannot recommend her enough! She sent many pictures while we were gone. We love that she played and walked them as often as we would. Happy dog parents and dogs!”
About: Hi! I’ve been around around animals my entire life and grew up helping out on my grandparents’ farm, which gave me a special love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, family members, and friends for years, and I love getting to meet and care for new furry friends! <3 I’m a full-time student at Texas Tech, so I plan pet care around my class schedule. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, after 3 PM Mon/Wed/Thurs/Fri, and every other weekend. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get plenty of love and attention while you’re away!

I’ll follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime while making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to follow any special instructions to make sure your pet gets the best experience!
About: I have had animals all my life. I have administered medication, placed protective eye care for dogs with Pannus, exercised over weight cats and dogs. I truly believe our pets are just as much part of our families as anyone else is and I treat all animals as if they were my own! I am self employed so I have the freedom to work whenever I need. Our fur babies our part of our family and we understand that every one is different and all have their own individual needs when it comes to care. We have a large fenced in yard and the ability to separate our fur babies in our home if necessary. We love all animals in our home and they are considered part of the family!
“Emerson and Joey took truly exceptional care of our corgi, Jack, after another sitter cancelled on us at the very last minute. We were already stressed from the sudden change, but after meeting them during a quick meet‑and‑greet, we knew immediately that Jack would be in wonderful hands. They were warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs, and Jack took to them right away. Since I work remotely, Jack is used to having someone around throughout the day, and Emerson went above and beyond to make sure he never felt lonely or anxious. She spent plenty of time at our home, kept him engaged and comfortable, and treated him with the same affection and patience we do. Throughout our trip, she sent thoughtful updates and photos that made it so much easier for us to relax. She even watered my plants and sent pictures of those, too, which was such a kind and unexpected touch. When our flight was delayed and we had to return the following day, she didn’t hesitate for a moment and offered to stay with Jack for an extra night. We came home to a very happy pup, a clean house, and even freshly washed bedsheets and towels. Emerson and Joey exceeded every expectation, and we’re genuinely grateful to have found them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate and reliable sitters. We’re already planning to use them again for our upcoming trip.”
“Ashlyn was the best! She watched our two fur babies for a long weekend and sent great updates alongside pictures. We felt so comfortable having our babies in her care. We will be using again and would highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up raising and caring for dogs there has never been less than 4 in my household and I love them! Every dog deserves love and care and I love making a dog happy! I’m currently working part-time so there will be plenty of time for working with and caring for pets! I’m available all days of the week!! Usually will feed two times per day but will vary based on care instructions make sure to take a dog out minimal 4 times a day if no backyard is accessible and play with and watch constantly!
“Shayla is probably one of the best sitters we’ve had in a long time. Attentive, communicative, respectful and caring! Samson and Dotty were truly spoiled with her here and I know they were very happy with all the attention from their new friend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets, both growing up and currently. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dog walking and house sitting, and I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and reliable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just providing loving companionship, my goal is to give your pet excellent care and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work remotely, so I am available during the day (aside from scheduled meetings). I have open availability during the evenings and weekends. If you have a specific schedule, just let me know and I can work around my work schedule. I enjoy taking walks with my dogs, as well as yours! I am patient, yet firm with commands. I provide quality play time and just general cuddles with fur babies!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lubbock
Anna was great! She spent lots of time with our pups and sent picture and video updates them! They seemed well cared for and we didn’t have to worry about them while we were away. She stayed overnight in our house and left it in great shape. Would definitely have her stay with our dogs again!!
Our 4 dogs, a dachshund and 3 terriers, had a great time with Morgan! She has the magic touch. They were happy and content! Morgan left the house in perfect condition and even picked up a package that was delivered! She is kind, caring and trustworthy. She texted updates and sent a group picture of the doggies🐾 I would 100% use her again!

Miss Courtney was amazing! She took such good care of my Bisbee and Emmett. Emmett was having some G.I. difficulties. She managed all five medicines that he was on and actually by the time I got home he was well. She’s very responsible even did her towels and sheets before I got home and remade the bed. I would highly recommend this woman for caring for your most precious pups.
Ashlyn was an angel who not only did an exceptional job caring for our babies while we were at our son’s wedding, she acted quickly and decisively when our golden retriever had a medical emergency. When you are away from your animals the last thing you would want is an emergency call from your pet sitter. Well, we had an early morning call from Ashlyn who was not only calm, she had already contacted the emergency vet service and explained that our dog had a seizure. From beginning to end, Ashlyn not only communicated everything to us, she also, stayed with our dog until he was ready to come home. I was so blown away by her kindness, concern, and compassion that she had for our poor dog who was having health issues and scared. She treated our dogs as if they were her own, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you, Ashlyn. We will never be able to thank you enough for making sure our dog was ok. It was the most stressful few hours not being able to be with our dog, but also comforting that Ashlyn was communicating and loving him in our place! I would highly recommended Ashlyn. She is mature, responsible and an animal lover. I just can’t say enough good things about her stay with our 4 dogs.
Vanessa is so sweet, my dogs warmed up to her immediately. While we were out she sent us pictures and updates of them playing, smiling, and cuddling up to her. She was on time and very trustworthy. She helped manage my dogs anxiety during 4th of July fireworks. I would recommend her to anyone who adores their fur babies. She is AMAZING!!!
Andrea was such an amazing Rover sitter! She watched my senior dog, and took great care of him and our house. She kept me updated with messages and pictures which made being away from our dog much easier. I highly recommend Andrea and hope to have her dogsitt again!
Martin has been caring for Elliott for a few years now so I knew when I reached out for a last minute booking he would be well taken care of! In the past I would’ve dropped Elliott off but since Martin is no longer taking in those requests I asked for him to care for him at my apartment. It went phenomenally! He arrived to my house early and I was able to give him a rundown of the apartment and all of Elliott’s care instructions. Once I left, Martin was very responsive and would send me pictures as well throughout the day. Upon us returning, Martin was waiting at my apartment and he informed me that he had also already taken him out on his daily walk which was amazing since it’s been raining! As always Martin was amazing and very responsible.
Gwendolyn did an amazing job and took great care of our crew! All of my pups are seniors and on medication and with her vet tech experience, I felt more comfortable with her experience to care for our senior crew! When she came for the meet and greet, all my pups and kitty felt comfortable with her from the start! I was so comforted to know they were all getting loved on every couple of hours while we were gone! She even took great care of our chickens!! I loved getting the pictures and updates every day! I will definitely be using her again in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lubbock is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $56 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 255 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lubbock. 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 Lubbock 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 Lubbock 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 Lubbock 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 Lubbock. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
