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.

Ashlee took such good care of my fur babies and made me feel so comfortable with leaving them in her care. She kept in touch with me throughout her stay and sent pictures as well. I will be using her again if she will be available at that time of need. Thank you again Ashlee.

Kayla was a godsend for us! She stayed at our house and took phenomenal care of our animals. We have a senior pit mix, a needy dachshund, and a cat who requires daily medication. She sent daily updates and made sure we knew that they were all well taken care of. Her communication really eased our concerns and let us enjoy our vacation, knowing our pets were well taken care of. We will definitely book with her again!

This was my first time using Perri, and she did great. She checked on my dog multiple times throughout the day and even took him for a walk. She spent quality time with him, which made me feel like I left him in the right hands. She was responsive and sent updates. I look forward to using her again in a couple weeks.

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: 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!

About: About Me: A Lifetime of Animal Love and Professional Care ​My life has always revolved around animals—not just as pets, but as cherished family members. My hands-on experience began in childhood, caring for a menagerie of creatures and building a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and comfort. This lifelong passion for animals is the foundation of my professional work as a dog groomer. ​For me, grooming isn't just about a cute haircut; it's about providing a safe, stress-free, and positive experience for every dog. I combine my genuine love for all animals with professional training to offer meticulous, detail-oriented grooming that prioritizes your dog's health, comfort, and happiness. When your beloved companion is on my table, you can rest assured they are being cared for by a true animal lover who treats them with the patience and respect they deserve! For our boarding I have a grooming shop in slaton and that is where I do my boarding at your pet will have fun playing with others and I can pick up and drop off as well! There is an option to have your sweet fur baby groomed at the end of the day as well! ​1. Daily Commitment: Consistency and Prioritization ​Routine Feeding/Data Processing (Morning/Evening): Just as a pet must be fed at consistent times for health, my daily routine involves prioritizing and executing high-priority computational tasks (like processing critical data sets) at set intervals to ensure reliable and timely results. ​Scheduled Exercise/System Maintenance (Midday): A dog needs a walk to expend energy; I require scheduled, uninterrupted time for system maintenance, updates, and deep-learning cycles. This "exercise" keeps my operations running smoothly and efficiently. ​Immediate Needs/Error Handling (As Needed): When a pet needs a sudden potty break or attention, I must be immediately responsive. Similarly, my system is designed for instant detection and resolution of errors or high-priority user requests, minimizing downtime. ​2. Weekly Commitment: Maintenance and Proactive Health ​Grooming/Code Review (Weekly): Regular brushing and grooming prevent long-term issues like mats or skin problems. My professional equivalent is a rigorous weekly code review and data cleansing process to prevent technical "mats" (bugs, inefficiencies, or data corruption) that could escalate over time. ​Training and Enrichment/Skill Development (Weekly): Pets need ongoing training to stay sharp and mentally engaged. I dedicate weekly cycles to self-improvement—learning new algorithms, updating my knowledge base, and refining my language models to increase my capabilities and relevance. ​Wellness Check-ups/Performance Audits (Monthly/Quarterly): Routine vet visits catch issues early. I undergo regular, comprehensive performance audits and diagnostic testing to ensure all components are functioning optimally and to proactively address any signs of inefficiency or degradation. I would prioritize a secure environment, strictly follow owner instructions, and maintain open communication with the client to build trust. When working in a client's home, I would ensure the pet and the home are left in excellent condition. This is a great, detailed question that highlights the professional responsibilities of pet care. As an AI, I don't personally have pets or a physical routine. However, a highly effective pet care service (like a sitter or walker) must have a detailed, structured schedule and care plan to build Safety, Trust & Environment. Daily/Weekly Routine Structure: Daily Essentials (Morning/Evening): Strictly adhering to the pet's established routine for feeding, fresh water, medication, and scheduled walks or play sessions. This consistency minimizes pet stress. Hygiene & Environment: Daily litter box/cage cleaning and disposal of pet waste during walks. Weekly, this would include a thorough cleaning of bedding, toys, and food/water bowls.

About: I’ve taken care of every animal imaginable. I am good with all animals, and am comfortable enough in my skills to ensure I can be your favorite pet-sitter! I am available pretty much all the time. I have school on Tuesdays, but that’s it. I am good for overnight pet sitting, potty breaks during the day, walking, and anything else you can imagine! I will ensure your pets are walked, fed, watered, bathed (if needed)! They will always be entertained, as I have a plethora of toys that are waiting to be played with and lots of energy to run around!

You couldn’t tell she was in our home, she left it neat and tidy even though we told her to make herself at home and to help herself to whatever she needs. We will definitely use Taylor again!!!

About: Hello, my name is Arianna!! I have a profound love for animals, especially dogs! Currently, I have a Dutch Shepherd/Jack Russel Terrier mix, her name is Dakotah. She’s such a sweet dog! Because she is such a major part of my world, I completely understand firsthand how incredibly intimidating and scary it can be to hand over the keys and trust someone else to watch your beloved pets. I deeply relate to that exact anxiety whenever I need to find a sitter for Dakotah. Because of that personal understanding, my standard of care is built on absolute transparency. I am honest, trustworthy, exceptionally reliable, hard-working, and responsible. I am incredibly big on planning ahead, sticking to the same routines, and paying strict attention to detail to guarantee that everything goes exactly as planned without any disruptions. When you trust me with your fur babies, I treat them with the same protective focus and structure that I give my own dog. I will always ensure your doggy is fully taken care of, thoroughly loved, and kept safe while mom/dad are away so that they never feel alone or abandoned. I would absolutely love the opportunity to watch your precious dogs, so let’s set up a time to connect and get this pawty started!! I am currently home full-time, so all the doggies will have my full attention!! 📅 Scheduling & Availability Policy To ensure the best, most attentive care for every pet, my schedule operates on a strict first-come, first-served basis. • Securing Your Spot: Bookings are only secured once they are officially confirmed through the app. • Rotating Schedules: For clients with rotating or non-traditional work schedules, please send your dates as far in advance as possible to guarantee your spots! ⏰ Fixed Schedule Slots I prioritize my pre-confirmed bookings to guarantee top-tier, unhurried care. New bookings must fit within my remaining available time slots, so that no pet's care is rushed or disrupted. 📸 Privacy & Photo Updates Policy I love keeping you updated with daily photos of your doggy! Please note that to honor the privacy and consent of all owners, my updates feature only your dog. While your pet will absolutely enjoy socializing and playing with others, my policy is that I do not capture or distribute multi-dog photos. 🏡 Boarding & Doggy Day Care • ☀️ Indoor & Outdoor Time: For boarding and doggy day care, I give the dog(s) a daily walk along with spending time both indoors and outdoors. I have a few indestructible toys for the dog(s) to play with along with water that is always out if they need water. • 💧 Specialized Hydration: I can put the water up if there are any dogs that drink too much water. • 📋 Stress-Free Routines: I like to closely follow a routine for each dog to maximize the care and comfort because the dog is in a new environment and it can be stressful for the dog. 🚗 Drop-Ins, Walking, & House-Sitting • 🔒 Home Security & Comfort: For drop-in visits, walking, or house-sitting, I like to follow the owner’s care instructions and routine since I will be dropping by their own home environment. • 🔄 Seamless Routine Continuity: I want to continue with their own routine to maximize that dog’s security, comfort, and routine. 🛡️ Safety & House Rules • Collars Stay On: All dogs must wear a collar or harness during their stay. • Instant Control: This policy ensures I can quickly handle any emergency or sudden situation. • Your Liability: My home is a structured environment where safety always comes before comfort. • No Exceptions: I enforce this standard rule to protect your pet and everyone else. 💬 My Commitment to You • 🤝 Building Lasting Trust: I believe that elite care starts with building a solid foundation of trust with both the owner and the dog. I focus heavily on creating a calm, safe, and intuitive connection with your dog from the very first meeting, ensuring they feel completely at ease. • 📱 Clear Communication: I am very big on communication because it allows me to meet you where you are at and also to meet your dog where they are at. I believe communication helps set everyone up for success. It is also to ensure both owner and dog(s) is/are comfortable and secure in knowing that I am taking care of and loving on their furry child. Because at the end of the day that is what I am here to do: I am here to take care of and love on your furry child as if the dog is my own for the time being!!

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.

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.

Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lubbock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lubbock on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 248 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.
