“Ashlee was a great hire for combination house & pet sitting for 17 days while we traveled. Our dog and cat (the bunny is human indifferent) were comfortable with her from the first meeting and she continued that positive interaction with them while we were gone. She read over the pages of notes, asked good questions, and that communication continued with daily photos, status updates, and occasional questions, like how to cheer up Ozzie one evening when he looked sad and didn't want to eat. Besides sleeping in the house, I think she played with them a lot more than we do, took Ozzie for walks, spent time just being in the house with them, and really looked out for their welfare. When she dropped off the key Ozzie was SO happy to see her and acted like his favorite people were all together now! She followed requests for taking care of the plants and brought in the outdoor pots when the temp suddenly dropped. Pets and plants were happy and healthy when we returned, and the house was neat and tidy. We'd never met her before trusting her with our home and pets for 17 days, and didn't worry at all while we were away. We'll definitely contact Ashlee for future trips!!”
“Jordan did an amazing job taking care of our babies! She sent us pictures and video while we were gone and kept us updated the whole time! We came home to happy fur babies! She even fed our fish while we were gone and didn’t have to! Thank you Jordan! We will definitely book you again!”
“She was amazing, she took my baby to get her puppy cup and also sent pictures throughout the day. My baby is quite shy and she was really patient with her 💕 I'll definitely recommend Katherine and I'll be booking again.”
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.
About: I grew up with large dogs -Cane Corsos, Mountain Malamutes, German Shepherds, Great Danes, etc.- all my life. I am someone who can handle dogs of that caliber on walks and playtime. At the moment, I work part-time while working on my degree but I'd plan to take dogs on walks in the morning and afternoons. I can also drop by anytime to check in on your dog(s) or cat(s) while you're away. In my home, I have two cats that are very friendly to other animals and a small outdoor area aside from a courtyard in my complex. At your home, I'll follow instructions for pets on furniture (if allowed), crating instructions, administrating medicine, and of course, providing company, for example.
“Dominique was great with Lily. Lily can be a bit stubborn but worked hard to gain her trust. Sent lots of pictures. We were just glad Lily was able to stay in her house.”
“She did great with my dog and followed the instructions I left perfectly. I loved that she sent pictures everyday with updates at least twice a day. Will be booking again if needed.”
“Andrea is an absolutely fantastic dogsitter. Our pups adored her, and they were clearly so comfortable with her staying with them. She’s so communicative, and I loved all of the updates that she sent. Absolutely 10/10 service, and thank you again, Andrea!! ☺️”
“Isabella took care of my cat for 5 days, and both she and her partner were incredibly kind, polite, and flexible. Whenever I asked, they sent me photos and videos of my cat and kept me updated about how he was doing. Thanks to them, I felt much more relaxed and comfortable while I was away from my little cat. I truly appreciate their care and support.”
“Victoria was wonderful. She sent pictures, gave updates and kindly let me know what her day looked like so I would know when she would have time for my babies. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Audrey. I’m a dog walker and pet sitter serving the Lubbock County area and I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and house sitting. I’d love to help care for your dog!! I grew up around dogs and have experience with many different breeds and backgrounds — from Chihuahuas and Basenjis to Huskies and Pitbulls. I know how to work with dogs and other animals who have special needs or sensitivities from my time helping on my grandmother’s rescue farm. I’ve also picked up grooming and basic training skills, so I can handle brushing or practice commands if that’s part of your dog’s routine. My schedule is flexible, and I focus on giving each pet the attention they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or extra care for older dogs and those with special needs, I’m patient and reliable. :) People I know often trust me with their own animals, and I bring that same care to every booking. I’ll send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well looked after If you’d like, we can do a quick meet and greet first to see if it’s a good fit. Please send me any anything you’d like to inquire about! Availability: 🐾 Weekdays: Early mornings, afternoons, evenings 🐾 Weekends: Open availability Saturday, Sunday I’m happy to coordinate exact visit times based on your pet’s routine. Just let me know what works best, and I’ll do my best to make it happen! I currently attend school, work, and volunteer entirely online, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate short-notice bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each animal’s unique needs, preferences, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for, even when you’re not home. I’m always respectful of your space and keep things clean and tidy while house sitting or dropping in. I follow all instructions closely and ask questions if anything is unclear to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent. I pay close attention to pet body language and behavior so I can respond calmly and appropriately in any situation. I’ll never force interaction, especially with shy or nervous pets. I’m also confident handling high-energy dogs or pets with special needs. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is to earn your trust and make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
“We left our two pups with very different personalities with Paul and I cannot write enough wonderful things about the experience! Paul was very communicative, sending a ton of updates, photos, and videos. The pups always looked happy and engaged and we are so thankful they were in great hands while we were away!”
“This was my first time using Felicia. She did a great job, communicated well, & sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. She followed instructions and spent time outside with my dog, which he loves. I'm glad she was able to dog sit and look forward to having her do it again soon!”
“This was Courtney's first time to sit for me. She was very attentive to my babies and sent me photos on a daily basis. I appreciate her care and we'll be using her in the future!”
“Gloria took care of our four cats while we were travelling for 2.5 weeks, and she was amazing! She was professional and responsive and sent us regular updates, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. :) We would certainly have her cat sit for us again!”
“Alexis is the best!!!! She loves your fur babies as much as you do and is attentive and quick to respond. Our washer flooded our house while we were out of town and she cleaned up the water and was so helpful when there’s nothing we could do about it being out of town! One of the best sitters we have ever had! For as long as she does rover we will always use Alexis!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lubbock
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!
Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned! Krista came over in advance to meet the pets and learn the routines - we left detailed notes but it helps to be able to talk and answer questions in person. She sent daily pics and came to do extra checks a couple of times. Our trip plans came together quickly and depended on finding a reliable sitter during spring break week, so also really appreciated that she stepped in to help us out. Would love to book her again.
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!!
Gloria took care of our four cats while we were travelling for 2.5 weeks, and she was amazing! She was professional and responsive and sent us regular updates, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. :) We would certainly have her cat sit for us again!
She did a great job with Francis! I was very nervous to leave him for the first time, but I returned to a healthy, happy cat. I can tell he got some good attention and playtime while I was gone plus, of course, all the food/water/litter care he needs. I especially appreciated getting frequent pictures and updates of my little guy!
We had such a wonderful experience with Zoe! Her communication was excellent from start to finish — she always kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding with our schedule, which made everything so easy. Our dog absolutely adored her, and it’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again!
I have cameras throughout my house and so I occasionally was able to look in on Owen. I could see that he genuinely cared about my cats and gave them lots of attention. I gave him instructions about the house, and he followed them to the T. I would definitely hire him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lubbock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lubbock on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 249 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 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 Lubbock. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
