“Maryn was so kind to our dogs, you can tell she really is an animal person. She sent us pictures one of the days we were gone and it was great to see the dogs were so happy. Our house was very clean when we came home, and the mail was even brought in! Will definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!
“Mirette was great at communicating how the dogs were doing while we were away. She followed all our requests and pups were well cared for. She sent pics during the time to keep us posted how they were doing too. We would recommend her and will have her back.”
“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”
“Kayla was a phenomena sitter!! We needed a sitter for our dog a little last minute and I am thrilled we found Kayla. Kayla was very responsive and communicated well. She sent us updates on our dog throughout the weekend and our home was exactly as we had left it. Even our next door neighbor complimented on her friendliness! I would highly recommend Kayla as a sitter and will definitely reach out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”
“Lindsey was absolutely fantastic! She stayed at our home while caring for our special needs dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and compassionate, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made it so much easier being away from our pup. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the time to understand our dog’s unique needs and routine. When we returned, our house was spotless and exactly as we left it. Lindsey went above and beyond in every way, and we truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and kindness. We have already booked Lindsey again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring to watch their pets!”

Can not be grateful enough, thank you Lori!! ?”
“We recently had Melissa pet sit for our dog and two cats, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the care she provided. From start to finish, she was reliable, attentive, and clearly devoted to making sure our pets were happy, healthy, and well cared for. Melissa took our dog on frequent, regular walks and kept us updated with tons of adorable photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. One of our cats had an injury that required a little extra attention, and Melissa handled it with such care and sensitivity—we were truly grateful for the way she looked after him. Both cats were well-fed and comfortable, and we came home to find all three pets relaxed and content. Not only were the animals happy, but our house was absolutely immaculate when we returned—it’s clear that Melissa takes pride in every aspect of her work. We would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like her own. If you want your pets to have the absolute best care while you’re away, Melissa is the one to call!”
“Our dogs can be a handful and we always have a hard time with sitters not being comfortable with three big, especially with one that can be a little temperamental, but Payton was amazing with them and all three warmed up to her quickly during our meet & greet. I’m so happy we found her!!”
“Charlett was great and trustworthy! She showed up on time, was quick to communicate, spent time hanging out with our dog, even texted pictures of him throughout our vacation. Charlett even drew us a picture of our dog. We will use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mission Woods
Just got back in town from my first booking with Randall and he exceeded my expectations immensely! Tons of pictures were received each day and it was evident that he really cared for all three of the pets. He was not phased by medications, their fancy diet, eye drops, etc. The house was immaculate as well. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks, Randall!
We really appreciated how well Anna took care of our pup, Fern. She communicated well, sent pictures and updates and contacted me with any questions she had. It's not easy leaving an elderly dog with anxiety, but we felt assured that she was well taken care of, and a big bonus was coming home to a clean home! Couldn't have been more pleased with the job she did! Would highly recommend her services!!
Whitney did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and home while our family went on a 10 day trip! She texted frequent updates and pix of the dogs, was extremely professional yet really seemed to enjoy being around our dogs (who can be a handful). We would definitely recommend her to anyone and will rehire her the next time we need pet/home care.
Taryn took FABULOUS care of my kitties while I was out of town. She is everything one would hope for in a pet caregiver. She is prompt, dependable, follows all instructions, and, most importantly, is an incredibly nice person and the animals can “sense” that quality. I will, definitely, reach out to Taryn again next time I have to go out of town and would highly recommend her to care for your beloved pals.
Patricia was communicative, timely, and sweet with our pup. She took him on daily walks and gave him a lot of attention. We appreciated the photo updates she also sent each day. She did a fantastic job and we trusted Ollie (and our home!) in her hands. We will utilize her again!
Wonderful sitter! She was warm, detail-oriented, and immediately became best friends with our dog. She kept me updated with photos throughout the visit, which I really appreciated. Her experience caring for dogs needing extra care gave me great peace of mind, and I would absolutely trust her with dog again!
It was my first time using Rover and I came across Kayla’s profile. I thought she would be a good fit for my dog Marley and I was right! She did great with him and sent my walk updates along with pictures of him smiling. I left plenty of instructions which she followed 100%. I came home to a happy dog which I owe to her. Highly recommend Kayla!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mission Woods
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mission Woods on Rover is $42.49 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,657 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mission Woods. 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 Woods 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 Woods 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 Woods 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
