“I had a last minute work trip come up and booked with Arshawna! We had her come to our home to care for our 2 girls. One is a senior dog and one is young dog. Our girls loved her and we constantly got pics and updates! She took the girls on walks and played! We will definitely be booking with her 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. I offer a large collection of the highest quality foods and treats you can choose from, unless you want to bring your own. Food is served in separate slow feeding bowls. Available brands include The Honest Kitchen, Orijen, Blue Buffalo, Rachael Ray, Purina, Weruva, etc. Treats include yogurt, cookies, fruits, steamed veggies, cottage cheese, peanut butter, warm milk. Homecooked meals (plain diet) are also an option if requested. - 24-hour supervision. Friendly, healthy playmates. - Safe environment with floor cleaned continuously and puppy toilet disinfected after each use. Air purifier running all day and night. - One-on-one cuddling and brushing time. - Clean, fluffy beds and blankets washed every 3 days. - Fresh warm clothes. - Toys (also washed every 3 days) and entertainment. - Continuous updates via pictures and videos. - Giving medication if your dog needs it. - Separate play pen if your dog needs it to feel safe. - Fenced backyard and beautiful outdoor playground with one-on-one supervision during outdoor bathroom breaks and morning sunbathing. The backyard and playground are kept clean and free from waste. Waste is picked up immediately. - Paw and body cleaning after each bathroom break. 🍒 REQUIREMENTS 🍒 - Dogs that are special-needs (either physically, such as having disabilities, or mentally, such as having severe separation anxiety), young puppies, hyperactive, incontinent, in heat, or not potty-trained, will add a small additional charge. - Due to limited availability, payments are due at the time of scheduling and are non-refundable. - Your dog MUST be generally healthy, up to date on shots (with proof of vaccinations, “if it is not documented, it was not done” is my policy), and on heartworm prevention. - Your dog MUST be clean, free from offensive odors as well as parasites. In order to ensure this and maintain a clean safe environment for everyone, please bathe your dog prior to dropping him/her off, or your dog can be carefully bathed and dried by me for an additional $15 in the beginning of boarding. - Your dog MUST be friendly to people (allows handling and caring) and socially acceptable around other small dogs (may not like them but will not try to attack them).

“Here’s a glowing review for Kimmie: We couldn’t be happier with the care Kimmie provided for our dogs! From the start, she was attentive to their needs, making sure they were comfortable and happy while we were away. She played their favorite games, kept up with their routines, and even reached out when needed to clarify instructions, showing how much she truly cares. The daily pictures and updates were such a wonderful touch, giving us peace of mind knowing our pups were in great hands. We’ve already booked her again—she’s fantastic! Highly recommend Kimmie for anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”

“Jessica is AWESOME! We were so nervous about what to do with our 6 month old puppy while we went on vacation. We were between sending him to the kennel and getting a pet sitter. We decided on the pet sitter route and it couldn’t have gone better! Jessica stayed at our house and took great care of our puppy. She fed him, played with him, and even took time to send us pictures and videos of tricks she taught him! To top it off, she kept our house clean and tidied up. She communicated well and didn’t leave our puppy for long periods of time. Our puppy was so comfortable with her. We highly recommend Jessica and plan on using her again in the future!”

I only go out about twice a month for a night. I have a fenced in yard for potty time and the whole home is offered for space to explore, get comfortable and play. I also have 2 dogs that love to play and cuddle so you for baby will never be bored or cold. I almost constantly have eyes on my pets and will always be making sure your pet is comfy and cared for. I do have a cat, so other cats that I watch will have their own litter box and their own eating area for optimal comfort.

About: I stand out because I combine professionalism with genuine love for pets. I have experience with both energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require gentle care and attention to detail. My background gives me the skills to handle medication, follow routines, and keep pets safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I have a busy but consistent schedule with ROTC training in the early mornings and college classes during the day, which leaves me plenty of free time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. In your home, I can make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and affection so they feel right at home. For puppies, I focus on structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. For senior pets, I’m extra patient and mindful of their comfort, medications, and mobility needs. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Maxdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Maxdale is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $67 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 989 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maxdale. 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 Maxdale 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 Maxdale 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 Maxdale 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 Maxdale. 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.
