About: I've had dogs of my own, and helped take care of my neighbors whenever I can. I have also rescued and re-homed 🐶 Being a past pet parent has taught me patience and the loving bond of unconditional love a dog generously provides. I currently work full time but have time to drop by feed, walk and provide care for your fur babies. My schedule is flexible, and I am available anytime weekends. In the past when I have cared for my own dogs, I make sure safety is paramount and fresh water/food is always provided. Leash as needed.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish. Whatever you need, I got you, worry free. Pet can be of any age.

About: I have 6+ years of animal care experience from animal rescues, to doggy boarding and daycare facilities, to puppy training, and now currently working at an animal hospital while in school for a degree in Animal Science. My love for animals big and small is sometimes more than even I can handle 😂 I hope to be able to care and love your pet just as much as you do! Animal care is apart of my daily life! Not only because I care for the pets that come to the animal hospital I currently work at, but also because I always help any stray dog/cat, hurt critter, or even a worm stuck on the sidewalk (true story🥴) I make it my life mission to help those who cannot help themselves and love those who need it the most. I believe the highest care for all animals is a non-negotiable. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is well loved, cared for, and enriched! I treat them like I would anyone else, because I believe that they do have thoughts, feeling, wants, and needs and I make it my goal to meet and surpass them!
About: I have a deep love for animals and years of practical experience caring for pets of various breeds and sizes. I am highly attentive to their body language, energy levels, and specific daily routines, ensuring they always feel safe, happy, and well-loved while their owners are away. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your pets. Whether it is morning walks, afternoon playtime, or overnight boarding, I can easily accommodate your pet's regular feeding and exercise routines without any rush. Safety is always my top priority. When watching pets, I maintain a secure, hazard-free environment and closely supervise all interactions. I strictly follow the owner's specific instructions regarding diet, medication, and outdoor habits, and I will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Nichole was absolutely perfect. She took great care of my dog Kaya and left our house in pristine condition, which is always appreciated. She was very communicative and I was definitely put at ease while on our camping trip about any concerns over Kaya. Highly recommended. I will be contacting Nichole in the future :)”

“Alysabeth was such an incredible house sitter and cool dog auntie for my 4 pugs. She kept me updated with photos, asked questions when needed, and even told me about a little fight my dogs had, which she handled quite expertly (they’d done it before, and I warned her it may happen). The house looked great when I returned, and the dogs didn’t skip a beat on getting back to their old routine once I got home. Absolutely would recommend, highly overqualified and with a genuine love for doggos! Thank you, Alysabeth! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐶🐶🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Fantastic experience with Ian. Our pup loved him / We loved him! Was able to go out and enjoy activities and dining in Big Bear while on vacation while Ian was dog sitting. Felt very confident and trusting of his services - we had him over three days in a row - all were great. Highly recommend! Will book again when we are back!”
“Karley was not only incredible with the pups but was also so accommodating to our location and schedule. I would 100 percent recommend her as well as use her again. Also, I should mention that our senior chihuahua does not usually like being left with people besides us but she was so happy to be with Karley.”
“Kirsten was wonderful. She was communicative and thoughtful, sending us updates and photos/videos frequently each day. Our boys were happy and healthy when we returned and the house was clean and tidy. Our large guys can be a handful but Kirsten managed them with ease. We will definitely book her again!”
“Joshua arrived when promised and took good care of our 2 dogs. They both liked him immediately, which was a feat as our larger 90 lb dog doesn't take to people quickly. House was left spotless and all was well!”
About: My first dog was a saint bernard. Since then I've had dogs of various sizes. Good experience with big dogs. I have 2 dogs of my own, a pitt and a terrier, both which have been raised since puppy. I can administer medicine and bathe them! I am a college student who does online, so I am home most days of the week and weekends. I have no other jobs at the moment so I will be able to come pet sit for any time of day! I have 2 other friendly dogs and 4 cats who do well with dogs. Litter boxes are cleaned everyday, food and water is checked on everyday. I am good with getting stubborn pets into their crates safely and how to get an animal to pay attention when it's needed.
“Darlene was super nice and on time right before I had to leave. Brooklyn felt very comfortable with her and Darlene kept sending me photos to show me she was doing great. My place was neat and organized she was also Very attentive and friendly. I will definitely use her again in the near future, rest assure she will take care of your pet as her own. Thanks Darlene ❤️? Brooklyn ? ?”
“Hermes was so awesome with our (challenging) dog and two cats! He watched them for two weeks and sent lots of updates and pics while we were on vacation. Our pets absolutely loved him and we felt really secure knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
About: I have been a caregiver since 2006. I started with after-school care, and house sitting. I started doing drop-ins for my neighbors when they would go on trips. Their dogs recognized me so they trusted there wouldn’t be any trouble when I came in. I like knowing friends and family rely on me. It gives me a sense of purpose, to know that people in my community can ask me for help. I like taking out the cans to the street on pickup day, getting mail and packages for them. I am still doing drop ins for families. I am willing to stay over or do drop ins. I’d be happy to walk your dogs. I have cared for dogs, cats, turtles, horses, chickens, & newborn kittens. I currently care for two dogs. they are my best friends. I buy them bones, & toys, and play with them. I dont mind the fur and dirt. I give them both alot of love and I feed them regularly. I am able to do drops ins after work I prefer caring for pets in clients home only because I’m renting and pets aren’t allowed here. I hope to be able to find a pet friendly place in the future so I can care for pets in my own space.
About: I’ve have taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager. I love taking care of dogs they bring me such a joy. I know that each dog has their own personality and I love seeing them shine in there own ways. I have taken care of dogs as young as 6 months old to dogs that are 9 years old. I know that senior dogs definitely need more attention when it comes to potty breaks. I also have changed dog diapers. I also grown up with large dog breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers and Huskies. I have also taken care of small dogs such as toy poodles, schnauzer and pekingese. I currently work as a property manager for an Airbnb that runs within my home. Which gives me the flexibility to watch pets. I understand that each pet has their own needs and I want to do what’s best for them. I’m very fortunate to have a fully fence, home, and a separate backyard for my pets and yours. My dogs have their own space and your pet will be staying with me so I can watch them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,172 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lytle Creek. 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 Lytle Creek 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 Lytle Creek 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 Lytle Creek 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
