“Darrius was amazing with my two pups. We had to travel last minute and he was quick to respond and schedule a meet & greet. He sent texts with updates along with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Darrius and will absolutely use him in the future.”
“It’s always a pleasure having Hanna stay with our pups. They love her!! It’s amazing that she can wrangle our two pups on a walk! I never realized how much we appreciate receiving at least 2-3 photos per day, more if we ask for them. Highly recommend, as usual!”
“Karina did an outstanding job caring for our cats and went above and beyond throughout her stay. Even when our air conditioner broke during an intense heat wave, she handled everything with grace and professionalism, and left our home in immaculate condition, we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter.”
“Monic was great with my kids! She sent constant updates with pictures. And left little snapshot pictures. Asuna and Kurro are my shy kitties and took some time to warm up but Monic won them over.”
“What a great gal! She is so caring to people and animals. Our 3 dogs loved her so much and she was so good about walking them and sending us pictures all day long. We felt totally secure with her taking care of our babies for a whole day! I only wish we were staying in this area so we could use her services again. Would not hesitate to call her and if you need a recommendation, please get in touch with me! She also was on time and so polite!”
“Lakesha did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my apartment. She sent daily updates, and she let me know what my cat was up to everyday. She gave me peace of mind while I was traveling that he was in good hands!! She also left my place in perfect condition when she left, which was so nice to come home to! If you’re looking for someone who clearly cares about animals and is super responsible and kind, then I 100% recommend Lakesha!!”
About: I've taken care of animals since i was a child. From dogs to cats I've gained experience working, playing with and taking care of pet animals. Majority of my experience is with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Currently I am in the process of getting a full time job, so I'll be able to take care of your pups all day on my days off and before and after I work! I prefer to care for pets in their home where they are comfortable, in the exact way the client does when they take care of their pets. If the client has a set routine, then I'll follow it, otherwise I care for the pets by making sure they potty, eat food, playtime/go for a walk and clean any messes they may make.

I provide medical care for patients at work as well as providing care for my own pets at home. I care for my clients pets like they are my own.
“Amanda was great , we booked her last minute and was responsive and reliable!!! She arrived on time and always kept me informed when my dog ate and how she was doing. That gave me peace of mind! When we got home everything was fine! Highly recommend her. Thanks Amanda !”
“Raven stayed with our leash reactive pup for a few nights and everything went great! She provided regular updates and pics of G, made sure she knew her/her regular habits before the stay, took good care of our house, and was all around a great sitter for our girl! Thanks, Raven!”
“Emily took great care of our dog while we were away. She was responsive, took him on walks, and sent updates throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Our dog seemed well cared for when we returned, and communication was easy. We’d be happy to recommend Emily to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
About: My name is Hailee and I absolutely love animals! I would love the opportunity to take care of your furry loved ones. I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and species, from caged pets, to pastured pets, to house pets. Growing up, I lived in a very large semi farm, with a large array of animals. From horses and cows, cats and dogs, rats and Guinea pigs, to snakes and lizards. I’ve cared for almost every type of domesticated animal there is! I love working with and caring for animals, and I believe I could provide just what your pet needs while you’re away. I have experience dealing with pets who have needed meds and have had special needs such as seizures, incontinence, feeding issues, etc. Guest pets in my home are always welcome on the furniture and to sleep in my bed or wherever they choose, as your pets happiness is my number one priority! I am typically on a fully clear schedule right now. I am doing classes online through a community college, so I am able to dictate most of my time! I have a half fenced yard at my own residence and I am able to separate families pets as needed. There are no current free roaming animals in my home so your pet would be the only one! Caring for pets in others homes is a pleasure as well! Keeping your pets safe and sound, and as comfortable as possible is always the goal I strive to achieve. I currently am a work-from-home employee and have freedom to choose my schedule! I have full flexibility and am able to accommodate almost all owner and pet needs! I love walking dogs in their familiar neighborhoods/dog parks! My goal is to keep your pet as stress free and happy as I am able while you are away, to provide the best experience for you both! I have been through many different levels of temperaments with many different types of animals and aim to make you as the owner and your pet as happy as possible!
About: I have been a pet owner since I can remember. I have a bit of free time on my hands right now and why not do something I will truly enjoy. I have fostered though SAPA in the past, and have done a few rescues on my own. I also take pride in going the extra mile reuniting pets with their owners when lost. I have experience with cats, kittens, dogs and puppies. I can come by and check on your pets multiple times a day, walk them, or take care of them in my home. If they are crate trained it is good but not necessary. I am even available most holidays. My pets are my main priority and I understand the importance of a reliable caregiver. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
“Gabby was awesome! She was so patient with our dog, who has separation anxiety. She sent plenty of updates while we were gone, and we came home to a happy boy and a clean house! Will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter.”
“Ziaya was amazing! She took excellent care of my two dogs and made us feel completely at ease leaving her in our home. Highly recommend her services! She took them on multiple walks and gave us updates along the way. She’s the best!”
About: I provide reliable, attentive care, and make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible to help them feel more comfortable. I do have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs including, basic training habits, maintaining potty schedules, administering simple medications and giving extra patience and attention to older pets. I like clear communication with owners so I can make sure I’m treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for the babies. I can generally take care of anything at any moment with a proper notice. I give pets the necessary space, toys, and time they need. I have an enclosed balcony for dogs that enjoy outside, and a plush couch for the ones who enjoy inside. I am adamant about food and potty time! Any specifics that are required can be communicated and I will ensure it is taken care of.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mission Bend
Mayra was wonderful! She took great care of our pups and stayed overnight. One of ours can be particular about eating conditions and Mayra made sure she was comfortable. Our girls got lots of cuddles and plenty of walks. Thankful she is our first experience with the Rover app.
We could not be happier with Mikey. Mikey sent us updates regularly, complete with absolutely adorable pictures showing that our kitties were very happy, comfortable, and totally loving the attention they were getting. We won't be worried about traveling again as long as we can book Mikey!
Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!

The average cost of House Sitting in Mission Bend is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Bend 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 Bend 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 Bend 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.
