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.

About: I have been trusted to watch several of my neighbors, family friends, and even teachers houses and pets. Playing, walking, and taking care of animals is one of my passions and I adapt to every personality and type of dog to make sure they are happy. I work minimal hours away from home so I will be there for most of the day every day. I work part time (usually from 4-7:30) so I will be home with your pets very frequently! On top of that, I also have full availability on weekends. I am able to walk, play, cuddle, and do anything that your pets enjoy! I am adaptable to each animal and take care of them in ways that creates a stress free, happy environment for them.

About: I’ve worked with and owned many different breeds of dogs, along with cats and reptiles etc. I love all animals and have helped with a family member’s boarding facility over the past few years. As I currently have a work from home job, I’m easily able to care for and play with all of the furry babies as they need it! I have a fenced in yard with a lock, and make sure to sure keep all things put away that your four legged baby might not need to have access to.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of private commercial kennels and helped with training “challenging” dogs. I enjoy getting to know their different personalities and adjust my care accordingly. Have yet to train any of my fur babies how to make coffee, but I’ll persist! I’m retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can be available for just one day or whatever the family needs. It’s my pleasure to serve. I will stay with your dog/s the entire booking. They will be my number one priority. It’s best when they can stay in their home.

About: I’ve grown up around many different breed of dogs, and many different kinds of animals. I have watched animals for family and friends for years, whether they’re puppies or senior. I figured it was time to extend my services as it’s something I really enjoy. I am very attentive and treat every animal like they’re my own! I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and recently had to step away from my job, so I am home all day, and always looking for something to do. This means I have all the time in the world to give your fur baby all of the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and one little dog named Peanut, who just loves other animals! We go out in the yard for a bit every morning and after breakfast and then go for our morning walk around our very dog friendly neighborhood, and repeat again in the afternoon after dinner! There is also a large dog park that is typically unoccupied that Peanut loves to run around and play at!

About: Hi I’m skye I love dogs especially little dogs and puppies. I’ve been watching dogs for friends not only in my home but house sitting as well so I’m very trust worthy. Every time I see a stray I can’t help rescuing every chance I get. If you want to bring your dogs toys or crate your more then welcome. If you have strict rules for your pet please let me know or leave a list for me. If you want your dog being watched by a real dog lover I’m definitely the one to use. I watch dogs while my daughter is in school, typically after she is in bed so about 9am-9pm. I'm a stay at home mom, so this is a side job for me. I usually like to take your dog out/take care of your pets the way you would and as close to the same schedule as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Ginger — born and raised in Texas with a heart for animals of all kinds! I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life and currently share my home with a few of my own, including goats, rabbits, dogs, and cats. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s truly my passion. I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including senior animals who need extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medication and following special routines to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your babies and give them (and you!) the best experience possible. 🐾❤️ I’m lucky enough to work from home, so my schedule is super flexible — giving me plenty of time to love on and care for your pets! When I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have plenty of room to play and explore in my large fenced-in yard. If you prefer, we can also go for walks to keep their routine consistent — whatever makes your pet happiest! No matter what, they’ll always get plenty of love, attention, and care. If I’m staying at your home, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. Your pets will always be in safe, loving, and capable hands with me. 🐾

About: Welcome to my profile! I'm Trinity, a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. With over 5 years of dog sitting experience, I've had the joy of meeting and caring for countless canine companions. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I've learned to tailor my care to meet the unique needs of each pup. As an animal enthusiast, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your dog. Whether it's a quick 30 minute walk or an extended stay, I'm dedicated to giving your dog the attention and love they deserve. My experience includes administering medication, following special diets, and providing extra TLC for dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart? I'm not just a dog sitter I'm a dog mom at heart! I believe that every dog deserves to be treated like royalty, and I take pride in building strong bonds with each pup in my care. Your dog's happiness and wellbeing are my top priority, and I promise to provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you're away. Let's get this paw some adventure started! I can't wait to meet your furry friend and give them the love and care they deserve! As a pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine is quite flexible, but here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: *Daily Routine:* - Morning: Check and respond to messages from clients, confirm appointments, and review schedules for the day. - Visits: Spend time with furry friends, following customized care plans, which may include feeding, walking, playtime, medication administration, and lots of love and attention! - Afternoon/Evening: Complete visit reports, update clients on their pet's activities, and share photos (because who doesn't love pet pics?!). - End of Day: Review the next day's schedule, prepare for upcoming visits, and wind down (often with my own furry companion by my side). *Weekly Routine:* - Client Meetings: Schedule meet-and-greets with new clients, discuss their pet's needs, and create personalized care plans. - Pet Care Tasks: Rotate toys, refresh supplies, and perform administrative tasks (like invoicing and bookkeeping). - Ongoing Education: Stay updated on pet care best practices, attend webinars or workshops, and expand my knowledge on animal behavior, health, and wellness. - Self-Care: Make time for activities that help me recharge, like exercise, reading, or spending time with friends and family. *Flexibility:* - Last-minute bookings or schedule changes? No problem! I adapt to ensure seamless care for pets. - Unexpected vet visits or emergencies? I'm prepared to handle situations with compassion and professionalism. By prioritizing organization, communication, and flexibility, I ensure that pet care remains the heart of my daily and weekly routine. *In Client's Home:* 1. *Familiar Environment*: Care for pets in their own home, reducing stress and anxiety. 2. *Customized Care*: Follow clients' detailed care instructions, ensuring consistency and familiarity for their pets. 3. *Home Comforts*: Maintain the pet's regular routine, including feeding times, sleep schedules, and play activities. 4. *Household Management*: Water plants, collect mail, and keep an eye on the home, providing added peace of mind for clients. 5. *Regular Updates*: Send clients photos, videos, and detailed reports, keeping them connected to their pets while away. By providing personalized, loving care in both my own home and clients' homes, I create a sense of security and comfort for pets, allowing them to thrive while their owners are away.

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 October 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 October 2026, there are 1,798 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

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.
