“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.”
“Caelyn was great! We did a last minute booking and she took great care of our pups. She watched all 3 at the same time and she did great communicating with us. Strongly recommend to book her!”
About: Available for initial meet up - to ensure a good match. I've had many pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, frogs, rabbits, an injured horned owl, raccoons, and fish! I currently share my apartment with one special cat - a rescue cat named Mogwai. I've had both inside and outside dogs. I have trained several of my dogs (small breeds) so I have a fair amount of knowledge. I'm a 36 year old working from home as a retirement financial investment manager during the day. I have a lot of flexibility to be able to also take care of your pet! I think Rover is a great way to meet some cool pups and cats and help people with the many responsibilities of pet ownership. I look forward to meeting you and your pet/pets! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. I have ample flexibility to care for your fur baby. I’m an active person who like to talk walks and be outside while also loving a good pet cuddle. I ensure it is a good match between me and the animal. Generally speaking, let’s usually like me. I’d give them plenty of attention and love while also ensuring their basic needs like food, water, relief and exercise are met.
About: With over a decade of pet care experience, I've developed a deep understanding of our furry friends' needs and quirks. From energetic pups to senior dogs needing a gentle touch and playful cats, I can handle them all with care and affection. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet under my care. Trust me to provide your beloved companions with the love and attention they deserve! I am home for the summer to prepare for the start of my upcoming graduate school program, so I am extremely flexible in my schedule. I am available during the workday, evenings, and weekends! In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for pets. This includes providing regular feeding schedules tailored to their dietary needs, ensuring access to fresh water at all times, and maintaining a clean living space. I engage pets in enriching activities such as playtime, walks, and interactive toys to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Additionally, I adhere to any specific care instructions provided by pet owners, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. Above all, I approach pet care with love, patience, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of each animal in my care.
About: As a professional dog groomer I have years of experience caring for dogs full time. With my experience I am able to recognize if your dog is feeling unwell, needing to go outside, or just wishing to cuddle. I am able to care for all types of dogs, old, young, hyper, and even aggressive. I have no breed restrictions, I accept all types of dogs or cats, big or small. I was raised around dogs and my heart and life revolves around them. I will ensure your dogs stay happy and healthy when you are unable to be around! I am available any time! I am able to stay the night as well to make sure your baby is tended to when you are busy! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I know consistency matters, especially for pets who are shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take introductions slowly, supervise pets carefully, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and crates are used safely. I’m patient with nervous pets and will never force interaction before they feel comfortable. I also provide updates so you know your pet is safe, loved, and cared for.
“William was an amazing house sitter/dog sitter! He took very good care of my animals and left the house spotless! You could really tell the dogs had a good time while I was gone and I had peace of mind knowing they were being cared for so well. I got text message and picture updates throughout our vacation the communication was great and I would definitely use him again. Very trustworthy and kind. 5/5 stars for sure!”
“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!”
“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!! ☺️”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years, but it is my favorite side job! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and have been trusted to stay in homes to take care of people’s beloved family members, and their home. I’m currently an elementary school teacher at Wolffarth Elementary in North Lubbock. Depending on what area I am in, I will usually leave with enough time to get to work by 7am. I cannot leave for lunch as I sadly only have 30 minutes, but I am done by 4 every day. This makes it easy to spend the evening with them and I won’t have different hours every day - routine is great for pets! I also share holidays with students so I am pretty available for sitting jobs at those times. While my apartment is a 1 bedroom, it is cozy and great for lower energy dogs. I have plenty of space for them to lay out and they stay in the air conditioning all day. For more active pets, I live right next to a middle school with a paved track for walking, and I am close to a park for dogs who love to run and play fetch!
“Victoria was literally the BEST person I could have asked for to take care of my babies! She was so helpful and kept me updated. I’ve never left them alone with anyone but I’m so glad we met her she truly made this experience so amazing!”
“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lubbock is $34
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lubbock
Emerson (and her boyfriend, Joey) took care of our dogs after another sitter flaked. They showed up when they said they would, kept us updated with pictures and messages, took amazing care of our dogs, and left our house in great shape. Honestly, ten stars! We will be using them again in a couple of weeks!
Courtney did an excellent job of caring for our girls. She is absolutely amazing with communication, and not only did she follow the instructions that we left, the house was in wonderful shape when we got back. Our pups were clearly well cared for, and I really appreciated all of the update photos she sent. She really went above and beyond. Will absolutely be booking with Courtney again.
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!
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!!
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!

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 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 238 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.
