“Tamara was just the best! All three of our dogs warmed up to her right away and we knew that was a great start. She took wonderful care of all of them and gave them lots of love, treats, and attention over the week. She sent us lots of pictures which was really great too. We will definitely book future visits with her.”
“When I had to extend the stay because of unforeseen circumstances, Kari jumped right in and covered, brought dog toys, and kept my house and babies safe. I’ll use her every time I need someone. She’s fantastic.”
About: I spent a few years working at an animal hospital. I am able to administer oral medication and insulin. I have a diabetic dog myself. My life revolves around animals. Taking care of my animals is basically what my life is about. I am big in to animal activism; animals are my life. They will be treated like family! I know how to take care of animals properly and keep them safe. I always feed dogs separately and watch them when they go outside.
About: Hello my name is Elena and I have been around animals all my life. While I am just starting my pet sitting journey, I am so excited to provide reliable, loving care for your pets, and give you peace of mind while you're away. I have had many pets from guinea pigs and chinchillas to goats and sheep and of course my favorite fur-babies, cats and dogs!! I also understand the unique needs of foster dogs. I have lots of experience feeding, cleaning, and taking care of these various pets and hope to do the same for yours!! I am a soon to be freshman at Texas Tech but am here for the summer so my schedule is flexible. I am free to take care of your home and pets while you are having fun on a vacation, or even if you need me to pop in for a quick check up or walk. I am currently working a part-time job where I work about once every 2 weeks so I have plenty of time to check up and take care of your pets. I am free Monday through Friday and am willing to work weekends. I am used to many different kinds of pets. I currently have 2 indoor/outdoor dogs and 3 indoor/outdoor cats who use litter boxes. I have one fenced in outdoor guard dog with her own little dog house, and one barn cat that roams around and takes care of the pests. I am also familiar with dogs who use puppy pads and dog doors.
About: I am currently working in a doggy daycare. I am confident being with twenty and more dogs. I understand dog body language very well and they will know and love me for it. I’m working part time currently with a fixed schedule. So I’m available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. I also have flexibility with my work schedule though I’d need a week notice from the beginning of the week. Preferably two weeks notice please. Your family pet(s)/furry child(ren) comfort and safety are my main priority. Quite honestly, for myself, it is such a good reward to gain their trust. Having been working with more than 20 dogs at the daycare for hours at a time, I understand what safe and healthy interactions between them are. Ultimately, I am there to make sure they all have a good time, socially and physically. I apply this to any age, size, and breed may be there. I feel confident in guiding them all in any situation, good/bad or neutral.
About: Hello! My name is Malia Bryant. I’m a second‑year law student looking for a summer side hustle that lets me spend more time with animals. I’ve been passionate about animals of all kinds and sizes for as long as I can remember, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve had my own dog for seven years and walk him every day, rain or shine. Caring for him as an adopted dog with both behavioral and health concerns has given me extensive experience with anxious, reactive, or special‑needs pets and the extra patience they sometimes require. I’m reliable, detail‑oriented, and used to balancing a demanding law school schedule with daily pet care, so you can trust that your pet’s routine will be followed closely. Whether you need regular walks, drop‑in visits, or overnight care, I’m excited to meet your animal(s) and treat them like my own. If you have any questions, special instructions, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. I am on summer break from law school, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for walks, drop‑in visits, and pet sitting. I focus on safety, routine, and clear communication in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s feeding, walk, and play schedule, stick to owner instructions (including meds and leash rules), and keep the space clean and secure while sending regular updates.
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic! Right from the initial conversation, to the meet and greet and then to the stay her communication was awesome. She was wonderful with my special boys, made them feel so loved and at home while she watched them. Ensured Jack got all his medications on time! She sent lots of photos and messages of the boys relaxing and hanging out. They were so at ease with her! Our house was spotless on return as well. We absolutely lucked out on finding her and are so excited to have her back in the future!”
“Brooke is a keeper!! She cared for and loved on our dog and home, and left them both in better shape than she found them, lol! But seriously, she is mature, responsible and responsive with messages and photos. To be able to travel worry-free is a gift, and Brooke is a true gift to our home, our dog, and to our family.”
About: I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I have 6+ years experience in a veterinary hospital setting caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Animals are a true gift and I believe they all have a unique and special way of communicating with us. Through energy, body language, vocalization and behaviors. If we take the time to slow down and understand each animal for who they are, we can learn so much! I truly look forward to getting to know your fur babies and treating them as my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Plenty of time for walks, snuggles and backyard playtime. I am home most weekends and can accommodate extended stays or last minute pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room indoors for your pets to relax. I have 1 neutered male dog named Floki that is very well behaved and will love the company of your pets.
“Our dogs took to Dawn right away. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We wre able to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were being loved on and taken care of. I would definitely book Dawn again.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a kids. I grew up with horses, bunnies, ferrets, cats, dogs, etc. I have experience in puppy training and special needs animal care such as medication administration. I love all the fur babies and can’t wait to meet and care for your family member. I’m currently a full time paramedic and work a 48/96 schedule. My days off rotate week by week but I know my schedule weeks in advance. I would love to come and care for you babies in your home where they are most comfortable. Special requests and requirements for having your babies stay with me that I would love to talk to you about. I have two dogs of my own who would love to keep your babies company and a big fenced in yard that they would have full access to with the doggy door.
About: I have experience with all pets, sizes and ages. I’ve been pet sitting since middle school. I have 3 dogs of my own, a German, pit and pug! I have experience with reactive dogs and giving medication. I currently am starting out my real estate career so I will have a very flexible schedule while I learn the ins and outs of it! I have a large fenced yard and live on 3 acres. I do have other dogs so they will have friends to play with. I will keep them separated when needed.
“Kelley was incredible. She sent us pics of our dogs daily in which they looked so happy. Our house was well taken care of and very clean upon our return. There was even a mishap on my end at the start of the sit and she handled it very well. We’ve had other sitters and she’s hands down the best. Thanks, Kelley.”
About: I’m a veterinary technician in college for animal science pre-vet! I have been a tech for 5+ years along with caring for my small and large animals! I have experience with hamsters, cats, dogs all ages and sizes, cats all ages and sizes, horses, cattle, goats, and sheep! I can give injection as well as administer oral medication. I am currently a full time technician along as well as full time student. I do pet sitting whenever I can. I always find a way to fit sitting in my schedule! And majority of the time it works out! I treat my clients pets as my own. I always plan a time prior to me sitting them to meet the pet and get a better understanding of them. I can administer medication, identify emergencies, I can do nail trims (always a plus), regular schedule feedings, walking, litter box cleaning, park time, etc.
About: I have owned dogs all my life, little ones to large dogs. I enjoy what dogs have to offer us humans and their own unique personalities. I will walk your dog, take them to the dog park or just come and hang out with them so they are not alone all day. I know how some dogs have issues with separation anxiety and I would like to help with that. I want their humans to feel more at ease while their away at work or vacation. Resorts can be stressful for some fur babies. I have experience working in veterinary clinics and pet resorts. I am able to give meds to the pet if needed. I'm available any time during the day and most weekends. If you have questions, please feel free to email me or call! Currently working full time but that doesn’t take away from taking care of your fur babies. I am able to drop in visits or in house sitting. I would prefer staying at the clients home. It is less stressful on the pet. I have a full house so may be uncomfortable for them.
“If it wasn't for this nice lady we would not have been able to get away for some piece and tranquility for a few days. We desperately needed some time away from home. She was there when she said she would be there and spent the night with him in our home. Earle, our GSD loved her. He is quite high strung so it was imperative that he get along good with her. And he did. Oh he missed us a bunch and the welcome back from him was unbelievable, but we noticed him looking for Kimberly after we had been home for a few hours. We know who we will call from now on when we need to get away. Earle said so!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mineral Wells
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mineral Wells on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 173 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mineral Wells. 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 Mineral Wells 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 Mineral Wells 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 Mineral Wells 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
