“Claire is the perfect sitter! She took such great care of our two cats and our home while we were away. One cat was just diagnosed with diabetes the week before and it sure was a big relief to know Claire was there to take care of her and watch over her to make sure she was handling her meds okay, etc. It’s worth every penny to not have to worry and that is what is so nice about Claire- you know your pets and home will be well taken care of!! Highly recommend!”

“Jessica took such amazing care of all my fur babies! She even left my house in better condition than when I had left it!!! She kept me updated every day and sent lots of pics and videos which I loved! Highly recommend and will definitely have her back if we ever need a house sitter!”

“What a great time the puppers had. Every picture they were smiling. I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry. Frequently checked in just to let me know how they were doing. Highly recommend!”

“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Tessa! From our very first meeting, we knew our girls, Millie and Boo, would be in great hands, but she somehow managed to exceed every expectation we had. Throughout our trip, Tessa was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and detailed accounts of how the girls were doing. She was attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and needs, including administering medication and keeping an eye on a few minor health and behavioral concerns. It was such a relief knowing they were being cared for by someone so genuinely compassionate and thoughtful. What impressed us most, however, was how far above and beyond she went. Boo can be anxious and reactive around other dogs, and without us even asking, Tessa took the initiative to work with her on confidence-building, desensitization, and positive reinforcement training. She also spent time teaching both girls new skills and reinforcing good behaviors. She even provided us with an incredibly thorough breakdown of everything she’d worked on, what she’d learned, and how we could continue making progress. We were genuinely blown away by the time, patience, and care she put into this. Beyond taking exceptional care of our girls, Tessa was equally attentive to our home, helping with plants, packages, and other little things throughout our stay. She even left us a thoughtful gift! It’s abundantly clear that Tessa doesn’t view pet sitting as simply a job. She genuinely loves animals and puts her whole heart into caring for them. We returned home to two happy, well-loved girls, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tessa and would absolutely trust her with Millie and Boo again. We recommend Tessa wholeheartedly!”

About: I live in a smaller, cozy home in Leander, just outside Austin, with a small fenced backyard that's perfect for sniffing around, sunbathing, or a good game of fetch. I work from home full-time, so I'm never rushing out the door — I'm around all day, every day, which means your dog gets my full attention, whether that's extra walks, cuddle time on the couch, or just having someone nearby when they want company. I offer boarding, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and I'm happy to work with dogs of all kinds under about 100 lbs. Whether your pup needs a relaxed home to stay in while you're away, a familiar face checking in on them at your place, or a sitter who'll treat your house like their own, I'd love to help. After a lifetime with dogs, I know that every one of them is a little different — some want to snuggle all day like Allie, others want more activity — and I take the time to figure out what makes your dog feel comfortable and loved. If you're looking for someone patient, experienced, and genuinely home all the time, I'd be honored to look after your best friend. I work from home full-time, so my schedule is wide open — there's no clocking in and out for me, which means your dog isn't waiting around for a set walk time or stuck alone for hours. Bathroom breaks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen throughout the day, whenever your pup needs them, not on a fixed schedule. Since I'm home basically around the clock, I'm able to stay flexible and adjust to whatever routine your dog is used to. our dog's safety and comfort come first. My backyard has a tall fence, so there's plenty of secure space to play, sniff around, and soak up some sun without any worry. My home is smoke-free, and it's just me and my senior English bulldog, Allie — she's about as low-key as they come and gets along easily with other dogs. I know meeting a new sitter can feel like a big step, so I'm always happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand if that puts you more at ease — but I also know it's not necessary for everyone, so I leave that totally up to you. While your dog is with me, I'll send regular photo and text updates so you can see exactly how they're doing. One thing I bring that a lot of sitters don't: years of caring for an English bulldog. Bulldogs need a close eye kept on their breathing and overall comfort, and that habit has stuck with me — I watch every dog in my care just as closely, whatever the breed. Once you've taken care of an English bulldog, honestly, every other breed feels easy by comparison.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. As a dog mom myself, I understand that pets are family, and I want every owner to feel confident that their fur babies are receiving the same love, attention, and care they get at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routines, and needs. I’m happy to care for playful puppies, help reinforce basic training and routines, give extra patience and attention to senior pets, and make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to make your time away a little easier and your pet’s experience feel like a home away from home! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I have a dog of my own, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine and am committed to being dependable, flexible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I will make sure your fur baby gets the time, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve! I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I will treat your home with respect and your pets like they are part of my own family. I also love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are happy and well cared for while you’re away!

“Courtney was amazing with my cats. She was very attentive to them and kept me updated everyday on their wellbeing. It was a great comfort to know they were well taken care of as I do not leave them often. Thank you so much Courtney for loving on them so well!”

“Awesome sitter! Super responsive and deeply care about my babies. She followed the care instructions to the letter and went above to ensure they are well taken care off! Definitely hire if you want quality care!!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel
“Karla took great care of our dogs and our place. We greatly appreciate her help as we urgently needed care for our furry family members when we had to respond to an emergency out of state. Thank you!”


About: We are dog-obsessed people, and we will love your pooch like our own! Look at our testimonials. We treat our guests like family! Daily walks, pampering, playtime, medicine administration, and pics and videos are included in our price! We had a yellow labradoodle who was our world. We pampered him and couldn't imagine a day without him, but now he has crossed the rainbow bridge, living to nearly 13. We miss them also, but are hoping to welcome furry friends home. :) I have had the company of a furry friend nearly all my life, and we all absolutely love dogs! We have a puppy now; his name is Bru. We can watch your baby whether you are planning to go out for a day, a week, or more... He/She will have the company of my husband, our kids, and me and will never feel alone!! We love going for walks. Playing fetch or just lazing around in the house! We will flood you with pictures and video updates! If your stay is longer than 14 days, we do offer a lower standard rate. Definitely ask about that. For new boarding requests, we require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a good fit for your pup. We ask that pups be kid-friendly, as we have 2 kids, and we are particularly concerned about safety. Look forward to hosting your precious one! We ask that your pup is KID friendly as we have 2 kids. We need all guests to be up-to-date on all vaccinations! We are excited to get to know your pup and provide a home-away-from-home experience!

“Kristin house-sat for us for a little over a week. Not only did she watch over Lexie and Oreo, our home was also well taken care of and she even washed the bed sheets and towels. Would recommend and definitely book again.”

About: (Note to new clients: Please talk to me BEFORE you CONFIRM a booking so I can help you SAVE, thank you!) I am located in Killeen. I love small dogs more than anything else, and have been told by the people who met me and my dogs that I am the best dog owner based on how well cared for my little furry friends look. I can help you take care of your precious dogs so that you can have your mind at ease and enjoy your holidays 😊 I also provide flat rate spa service at $65 per small dog. This includes bathing, drying, eye and ear wash, nail trimming, haircut/deshedding, and styling. Thank you for your interest! I have many years of experience in taking care of both puppies and adults of small breeds. I will do everything within my power to ensure their safety and happiness. My house will be the cleanest and safest environment for your small dogs. No health hazards, no medium/big dogs, no cats, no loud noises, no human kids, no chaos. I do not even own a TV, and I play the piano to them sometimes. This is a calm, beautiful place with nice little doggy friends, cozy beds, fun toys, a cute outdoor playground, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care. I also cannot afford to have people changing their minds after taking up the spot of someone else who had really needed it. I hope you understand, thank you so much ❤️) 🌷$50 PER OVERNIGHT BOARDING SESSION INCLUDING 🌷 - Two meals and two treats a day.

“Kasyn was very patient with me. It was my first time leaving my fur baby behind, so I was a realllllly nervous! Once I told her about this and that I would like updates, she was very good at communicating and letting me know how Artichoke was doing. He really liked her, and I could tell just because when I got home, he was very chill and seemed so comfortable with her! Just what my anxious little Jack Russell needed! Some love and someone that understood his needs. Kasyn sent me pictures daily, and I appreciated that a lot. Oh, and she left the house pretty much spotless, which was amazing to get back to. I cannot wait until Artichoke spends more time with her again. ❤️ 100000/100000 would recommend!”

“Teagan went above and beyond to keep us updated on how our precious dog was doing while we were gone. It’s always nerve wracking letting a stranger stay in your home and leaving your pet in their hands. Teagan left our house extremely tidy and sent several photo updates throughout our trip. We will definitely book her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,518 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mahomet. 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 Mahomet 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 Mahomet 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 Mahomet 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 Mahomet. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
