About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve honestly never known what it’s like to not have a dog around. My dog Delilah means so much to me. I raised her from the time she was just 2 weeks old, and she’s now 10 years old. We’ve been together through so many stages of life, and she’s taught me a lot about being patient, understanding, and really paying attention to what a dog needs. Over the years, I’ve taught Delilah things like sit, lay down, roll over, play dead, crawl, and how to walk on a leash without pulling. I learned a lot by watching training videos and just taking the time to work with her. Every dog is different, and I think getting to know their personality and earning their trust is one of the best parts of caring for them. Before I got my degree, I also worked at an animal hospital, so I’ve had experience being around and caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m doing Rover part-time because I genuinely love being around dogs and animals. I enjoy getting to know each pet, spending time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I would want someone to give Delilah. My availability will vary since I’m also starting a new remote job. During my first six weeks of training, I’ll mainly be available certain days from Friday through Sunday, with Fridays available after 4 PM. I’ll keep my Rover calendar updated as I get my work schedule. I currently do Rover part-time, so I can work with different routines depending on what works best for you and your pet. Starting September 4, I’ll be available after 4 PM. I’ll also be starting a remote job with a six-week training period on September 14th , so during that time I’ll mainly be available on certain days from Friday through Sunday. Once I know my work schedule, I’ll keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions and make sure I care for their pets the way they’re used to. I keep a schedule for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else they may need throughout the day. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and affection while they’re in my care.

“Sandra did an outstanding job caring for Billy and Buddy. She brought homemade treats for them, kept in regular communication (with pictures) with me and left the house in great condition. She went out of her way to assist with things like watering our plants and cleaning our refrigerator shelves (which was a complete and welcome surprise). She is a delightful person and I will definitely book with her again.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs — from energetic pets who love long walks and playtime to senior pets who require a calmer approach and extra patience. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, especially when their owners are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits, comfort levels, feeding schedules, and any special instructions so they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I’m comfortable with administering medications when needed, providing attentive companionship, and making sure pets receive plenty of affection, exercise, and care during each visit. I also respect clients’ homes and maintain clear communication so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. My goal is always to provide dependable, thoughtful care so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. I am currently working full-time 9a-6p and I am off on Sundays and Mondays, short days on weekends, and 10a-5p on Saturday! I’m happy to go on my lunch breaks as well. I feed my fur baby Walli twice a day, before and after work. He also gets tons of love and sleeps with me every night. :)

About: I used to dogsit when I lived in LA and that’s when I fell in love with the “pitbull” breed. My dogs are my children and I will treat yours just the same. I work fully remote and have a very flexible schedule. My morning usually consists of walking/running my dogs 2 miles and then preparing for the day. I have a fenced in yard and monitor my dogs outside they are not allowed out alone. This helps prevent eating things they should not and any escapes. I can care for your dogs the same or whatever way you prefer.

Viviana was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs, Hazel and Ziion, as well as our home while we were away. She was sweet, attentive, responsible, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She made sure the dogs had fresh water, took them outside, and left everything clean, secure, and in great shape. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our dogs were happy and well cared for and that our home was in good hands. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was throughout her stay. We would absolutely recommend Viviana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to watch Hazel and Ziion! 🐾🤍

Love Jadyn and so do our dogs. I know I can count on her to take care of our house and home, without any concerns. And she walks our dog reactive dogs, which is no easy task. Plus, she came back after the sitting time had ended to let our dogs out again when our flight was delayed 8 hours. Super great when we are able to book with her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Magnolia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Magnolia is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $85 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,810 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Magnolia. 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 Magnolia 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 Magnolia 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 Magnolia 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Magnolia. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
