“Reven did a great job house sitting and taking care of my pets. Both pets received a lot of care and attention and she followed my instructions and kept me updated the whole time. Quick response time and everything went smooth.”
“Samantha was amazing with our Zoe! We really appreciate everything she did taking care of her while we were out of town. We loved the photos we got from Samantha and reassured us that Zoe was in good hands. Would absolutely book with Samantha again in the future!”
About: Fellow dog momma and animal lover! I love caring for animals and commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! My lil girl is a spoiled 8 year old Sheepadoodle. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I currently stay home so have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I’m ready to discuss a availability with you! I have a fenced yard and don’t mind taking pets for rides. My dog is very friendly with both people and other pets. If needed I have a crate, dog bowls and other pet essentials.
About: I have been my family and friends go-to pet sitter since I was 12 years old. I have always been an avid animal lover and will provide the most loving care to your pet no matter its age and size. I have two yorkies of my own, but have experience caring for larger dogs and cats as well! I am currently not working but am a full time student. My schedule is extremely flexible and can work weekdays and weekends. As long as your pet is happy then I am happy! I value constant communication when I leave my babies in someone else’s care, so I prioritize keeping you updated on what your babies need while under my care. I also prioritize pet safety and keeping your pets safe and happy is extremely important to me.
About: If you’re looking for a dependable, experienced, and loving pet sitter, you’ve come to the right place! Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I’m passionate about. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I offer personalized care based on your pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, relaxing cuddle sessions, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll provide plenty of one-on-one attention to help them feel right at home. My services include: • Dog walking and exercise • Pet sitting and companionship • Drop-in visits • Feeding and fresh water • Medication administration (oral and topical) • Baths and light grooming • Puppy care and senior dog care • Plenty of love, belly rubs, and positive attention I understand that every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a responsible, trustworthy, and reliable caregiver, I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become someone you can count on whenever you need dependable, loving care! I am currently a college student with a part-time job that usually takes up only four hours out of my day. The rest of the time I am home, studying or out on walks and runs. I would love to have company when I do go for my strolls. We have a fenced in yard that as well separate small dogs and large dogs. As well, a play area for the pets to socialize if granted. Treats are given to pets for their cuteness, unless dietary restrictions.
“Natalia was absolutely amazing with my 12-year-old pup, Phoenix 🐾—who is definitely a picky, demanding little diva 😄. She handled her meds, nighttime wake-ups, and constant need for affection like a total pro. I got great updates and could tell Phoenix was genuinely comfortable and cared for during her overnight stay. It’s not easy trusting someone with a high-maintenance senior dog, but Natalia made it feel effortless. Will 100% be booking with her again—highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We had such a great experience with Alexis! She watched our puppies for the weekend and did an amazing job. She was caring, attentive, and made sure the puppies were happy, safe, and well taken care of. She gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the great care she provided. We would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
“This was my first time using a sitter, I had previously had two senior dogs who required little maintenance and my daughter would swing by to see them. Sadly they both passed a way last year, and I have a one year old now who has only been with me six months when I needed to leave. He had been going through a phase of being suspicious of new people in the house, but he warmed up to Gabby after a few hours when she sat on the floor with him in the red chair I have for sitting on the floor! My cat who hates everyone except my son in law (including me), also came and hung out with her, which I regard as a win!”
“Starr was great. She communicated throughout the time. She did extra things in the home cleaning. She was consistent and compassionate with my doggos. She made traveling so much easier for me. Recommend.”
About: Hi, my name is Jasmin I've dog sitted for 6 years, you can say I'm experienced. I have even taken in others pets due to problems at home. I consider myself an animal rescuer and dog lover! I can assure you your pet will be in great hands with me! I will give your pet tremendous attention, lots of love, and most importantly we will have lots of fun! I'm very good with all types of dogs, small, big, needy, you name it! I have two of my very own who are extremely different from each other, Lola is a little antisocial loves to take naps and be outside in the sun while Luna loves to play, she is always happy and hyper! And I myself are a very caring, patient, and sweet. I have a big heart for all animals they are my number one priority and they will always be first even if they aren't mine. I’m currently a part time college student and part time worker at HEB. I still manage to have extra spare time for other activities such as being with my fur babies. I’ve come to realize that not every dog or cat has the privilege to be with their owners so I’ve decided to make use of my free time with all other fur babies. I make sure to pay attention to the owners properties and see what’s free from danger. Also making sure I follow the exact instructions given to me by the owner. I would never put a persons fur baby in any sort of danger.
About: I have had dogs since I was little. I have had Frenchies, bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes, and Shih Tzu. I am athletic, so I can run with your dogs as well as keep up with them as long as you need. I'm working part-time as a coach at the current moment, so the earlier the appointment the better. I will be completely open about the time I have available once contacted. I pride myself on my trust and honor. I have a clean record will be completely respectful of your personal property and will take great care in leaving the place better than I left it.
“We had peace of mind on our vacation. Rubi sent us daily pics and updates. The girls seemed to be happy and at ease with her. Rubi is a very sweet girl we felt comfortable with her since the meet and greet. We will definitely book her again! Thank you Rubi ! :)”
“Colleen was able to take our special needs Husky last minute when we had to go out of town. She took great care of her and was even able to keep her a little extra time when we got delayed getting back.”
About: I always had an excellent relationship with pets friends and family members always ask me to sitter them or walk them. I really enjoy being around them I am very flexible most in the afternoons i have facials business so manage my own schedule,I go by appointments so I can fit your schedule I do prefer on clients home, I have dogs on my own and some of them don’t really like visitors so i prefer do it when they feel safe
About: Nothing sets me apart from other sitters, seeing how we all put in effort to learn what it means to be a sitter for pets. However, describing myself to you is important, because by doing so we can start to build trust. The only few things I can describe myself as is someone who is responsible with whatever instructions are given to me, someone who is also understanding, and someone who prioritizes being gentle with pets to help them be comfortable around strangers. If having a conversation helps you build trust with me, I would be happy to do so. I'm currently looking to do something on the side in order to earn a bit of cash, as well as something that accommodates to my religious responsibilities, consisting mainly of Tuesday mornings, nights, and Saturday mornings. We regularly stick to our feeding schedule three times a day, whilst also refilling or replacing their water so that they are drinking the cleanest water possible. As for client's pets, we simply follow this same mindset, or we follow any instructions left behind for specific care of the pet.

Jocelyn was amazing with my dogs! She was very sweet, reliable, and took great care of them while we were away. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable and trusted her staying in my home for the weekend. She was very respectful of my home, kept everything in its place, and made me feel at ease knowing both my dogs and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her! 🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 131 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.
<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 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.
