“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.”
“Katherine was so great, from the 1st meeting both our dog & us loved her. She was so sweet with Charlie and he instantly was sweet right back. We were on an 18 day itinerary & Katherine didn't miss a beat, stayed with Charlie day & night & made sure he was happy. We highly recommend her for all future dog/house sitting jobs. Responsive, dependable and most important, loves what she does. 10 out of 10 🌟's.”
“Kayla was fantastic!! I absolutely recommend hiring her and plan to rebook her for our future vacations. It’s always scary/nerve racking hiring someone new to take care of your fur babies and house sit but Kayla was great! She came by twice before our trip. Once to meet the fur babies and get acquainted with our place and then a second time right before we left to go over specifics for our animals and house. We hired her to both pet and house sit for us and when we got home our fur babies, house, plants, and packages were all very well taken care of! She was ver communicative while we were away and always responded promptly if I had any questions or wanted to check in. Not only did she house sit, but she also stayed the night at our place so our pups felt safe and comfortable sleeping. We’ve got quite a zoo and she handled all three dogs and two cats wonderfully. All in all, she was great and I highly recommend her! I’m happy to say that I think we’ve finally found a sitter I feel comfortable and confident hiring again. Thank you, Kayla!”
“I was nervous about having a stranger in my home but Perri was amazing! We had her house sitting for 2 weeks, she was patient, caring and she really gave me an ease of mind, I would recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter ! Thank you so much Perri for allowing me to enjoy my vacation and loving my baby ❤️”
“Wow, just wow!!! I reached out to Morgan last minute, she accommodated me for two whole weeks. She was very communicative and kind! She took such good care of my babies! I got lots of pictures. I will most definitely be booking Morgan again, she is amazing!! She went over & beyond, she took out the trash, cleaned, cleaned out the litter boxes. She is seriously the best!! Thank you Morgan.”
“Savannah was great with our girls while we are out of town! They were a little disappointed for us to come home I think ? Definitely recommended! She kept in touch with us through our trip and I was at ease knowing she was with them!”
About: I’ve always had pets in my home growing up, and have experience taking care of all sorts of animals. Whether it’s chickens and goats on a farm, scheduled kitten feeds, or elderly dogs in need of care, I can do it all! I am extremely responsive and love to give updates and take silly photos of the animal(s) I am caring for. I’m currently working in a part time position from 8-2 Monday to Friday. While this schedule is not flexible, I am able to fit any type of pet care around these times. Whether it be early morning check-in’s, or in home care, I can work with you on what is needed! I am extremely flexible on whatever is needed to provide your animal with the utmost love and care. I always give updates and strive to go above and beyond to ensure your animal is comfortable and your home is well kept. It is never a problem to deal with any incidents that might come with your animal experiencing a new person in the home. I try to do my best to make sure they are loved on and know I am someone who will make sure they receive the best care!
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.
“Sonia was SUPER thoughtful with my dog Mikey who I can admit is a bit particular due to his past in a shelter. She was more than willing to stay with him at my house even though I'm sure it wasn't convenient, made sure he had his medication and took him on car rides! Can't recommend her enough!”
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.
“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!”
“Aspen took amazing care of our house and pets while we were away. Her communication is excellent and she is so thoughtful and considerate! We would book her again anytime and highly recommend her!”
“Taylor came and stayed with our babies for the weekend, I’m so appreciate that she actually stayed with them for the majority of the time as they are Velcro dogs and love to cuddle up with people. 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!!
“Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!”
“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!”

Wow, just wow!!! I reached out to Morgan last minute, she accommodated me for two whole weeks. She was very communicative and kind! She took such good care of my babies! I got lots of pictures. I will most definitely be booking Morgan again, she is amazing!! She went over & beyond, she took out the trash, cleaned, cleaned out the litter boxes. She is seriously the best!! Thank you Morgan.
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.
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!

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.
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.
