“Erin was absolutely amazing! She came and met our dogs before our trip and took notes. We got multiple updates and photos every day we were gone which was very reassuring. She was very professional and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!”
“Lori was great! From our first meeting, I could tell by her calm demeanor she would be great with the dogs. I also asked a neighbor of mine who is a client of Lori's and she was very happy with her. Lori stayed at our house for 3 nights and was very communicative--shared lots of photos and was very responsive and flexible--we had to cut our time short and she was great about it. The dogs were loved. She walked them and I could tell spent good time with them. The house was clean when we returned. I would use Lori again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Lori!!”
“Ell was great! She was attentive to our instructions of care and provided updates for us! We were at ease knowing they were in good hands! 10/10 would recommend booking Ell!”
“Haley was amazing! She sent us quite a few updates and pictures of our dog Millie. She left our house in perfect condition. We would highly recommend using Haley for house/dog sitting!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Jennifer! She house sat for my 5 mo old puppy and two senior cats, and my garden for six days, coordinating with veterinarian to deliver medical care to my sick cat and spending most of her time with my animals. She worked on training my pup and got him back into a good routine! She is super communicative and gives you the kinds of updates you want to hear about and sends lots of photos. She follows directions to a tee, so I never had to worry! She kept the house clean. I will definitely be asking for her again! 6 stars”
“Luca was such an amazing dog sitter/house sitter! Our 2 bigger dogs loved having him around. They were very happy and content when we got back. Luca sent multiple updates and the house was amazing when we returned! Highly recommend Luca!”
“We loved having Clove stay with our pup! It’s such a relief to have a sitter who understands and works with animals so well. I’d recommend Clove to anyone and we can’t wait to book him again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, raising my first puppy on my family farm at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve worked professionally in a boarding facility where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and made sure every dog stayed safe and comfortable. I also have hands-on experience in a shelter environment, working with animals of all temperaments, including shy, reactive, and high-energy. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adjust care to each individual’s needs. I focus on creating calm, enriching experiences for all kinds of animals, whether that’s a structured walk, playtime, or just giving your pet the patience and attention they deserve. Please let me know if you have any questions in booking me for your next walk or stay! Caring for animals is something I intentionally build into my weekly rhythm. I am typically available Monday through Saturday and have a flexible, open schedule, so I can give pets the time and consistency they need throughout the day. I also run my own art business, which allows me to work independently and stay flexible. This means i’m able to be fully present for each visit, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm check-in for more sensitive pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I enter. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, boundaries, and body language so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine. I’m especially mindful with shy or reactive animals, giving them patience, space, and gentle consistency to build trust. My experience in boarding and shelter environments has taught me how to read behavior, prevent conflicts, and create a safe, secure environment for pets of all temperaments.
“Courtney and Sara were perfect, could not have asked for better dog sitters. They are reliable, listened to me and sent me updates throughout my trip. I felt at ease with them watching my dog and absolutely trust having them watch her again! 110% recommend!”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing with our pups!! She sent update pictures all the time as the dogs looked like they were having a blast! We have already re-booked her to watch them again :)”
“Kathryn was terrific with my 2 young and energetic Aussies. When she initially came to meet us, she engaged with the pups and they took to her immediately. While I was away, she was a great communicator and I knew the dogs were getting good care, getting all the exercise they needed, and were having lots of fun. Kathryn was especially caring for one of the pups who was experiencing some stomach upset due to puppy mischief so I feel feel doubly appreciative. Kathryn was a delight and she has our thumbs and paws up vote of confidence!”
“Sylvia took great care of Billy and was very attentive. She kept our place really clean as well, and it was a great surprise to come back from vacation to find the bedsheets already in the wash and the dishwasher done. Willl definitely reach out to Sylvia again with future requests. We highly recommend her!”
“We had Andie house sit for us while we were out of town for a few days and I would highly recommend booking with her! She was very nice and easy to work with and our animals were well taken care of. The house was left in perfect shape and with happy animals!”
“Mya took amazing care of my husky & greyhound! She kept us updated with photos and left us a very clean house to come home to. I would not hesitate to book her again! Thanks Mya”
About: I've worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years. I have experience handling most dog breeds and attitudes. I am comfortable administering medications and sticking to their trained routines. I am willing to make drop in visits for dog walks or overnight stays for the more high maintenance pups. I can not offer in my home boarding as I have 5 cats who would probably disown me if I brought a dog inside. I am available for drop in visits early morning and after 4pm Mon to Fri. Open availability on the weekends. I have a reliable car for transportation in case you live outside of Midtown. I am willing to travel a short distance to care for your pet. I will take care of your pet while staying at your home. I will treat the property with respect, as if it's an Airbnb and will get charged a cleaning fee. I will make sure your pet's routine is not disrupted and that they feel comfortable with my presence. I would require a meet and greet before accepting the job and that we take a walk with your pet as well.
“Emily was great! Lady loved her from the moment she walked in. Her communication was clear and prompt. We came home to a clean house and a content doggo. We will definitely ask Emily to stay again 😁”
“Izzy took great care of our dogs while we were out. I would definitely trust her with our babies again! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is nervous to leave their babies alone! Thank you again, Izzy!”
“Shantanice was amazing! She took excellent care of our home and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs clearly loved her and were so happy and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely hire her again without hesitation!”

Sylvia took great care of Billy and was very attentive. She kept our place really clean as well, and it was a great surprise to come back from vacation to find the bedsheets already in the wash and the dishwasher done. Willl definitely reach out to Sylvia again with future requests. We highly recommend her!
Philipp deserves 5 stars! Phil loved and cared for our dog Sammie and cat Artie like they were his. The in -home care was just fantastic. Artie is generally very shy and timid if she doesn’t know you but a picture less than 24 hours after we left with Artie out and about like normal, says volumes. He was very flexable with some minor changes in our travel challenges and when we returned, I think our home was cleaner then when we left. I have already requested a re-book in February. I highly recommend Phil whether it’s drop in care or extended overnights.
Amina is the best! She watched our Great Dane and cats over several days while we were out of town and was attentive and caring the entire time. She communicated often with a family member in town, which was especially helpful when our Dane was dealing with some minor medical issues and new medications and diet. She also cleaned up so we’d never know she was there! Highly recommended!!
Can’t say enough good things about Jessica. She was very professional, kind, and trustworthy. During our meet and greet she asked questions about caring for the dog and the house we didn’t even think of. She took excellent care of our dog Matilda, and our home. She communicated throughout the process and gave us all the updates we asked for. I recommend Jessica.
Lindsey was great! She accepted my last-minute booking request and also agreed to change her availability to make the next weekend work as well. She came to meet my dogs and get instructions before her stay, and her communication before and during her stays was outstanding! We very much appreciated the updates and photos too. When we returned after both trips, our dogs were happy and our house looked just as we left it.
Ava was amazing! I have a dog who is anxious and reactive and she did great with him. Hank was totally relaxed in the videos and pictures sent. She also took great care of our home. She even washed the sheets and towels so they would be clean for us after getting in from a late flight. Great communication and very sweet to our boys. We would definitely use her again!!
Wendy respected our home and took great care of our puppy, Poppy. As a puppy she's ornery and needs a little extra TLC. Wendy sent photo updates and kept her on a potty schedule. Poppy was a happy girl when we got home. We would use Wendy for a house sit again.
Brooklyn is THE BEST! She watched my Birdie and my home. I know that both were looked after just as they were her own. She's very reliable and a great communicator. Heading toward medical school, you know she is caring and loving. Thank you Brooklyn. I know Birdie can't wait to see you again. Thank you!
Susannah and Oliver were great! I was a little worried about having Oliver the Poodle come with her but my fears were unfounded. He was a perfect gentleman and, by the time he left, my Pippa had a crush! Susannah kept great care of my girl and left the house in perfect shape!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mission is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $83 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 1,624 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mission. 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 Mission 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 Mission 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 Mission 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 Mission. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
