About: We have had pets for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals brings me so much peace and joy, I am definitely the type of girl to pick up any dog or cat from the side of the road and take care of it!! I currently work part-time as a Licensed Esthetician. I just started in January, so my books aren’t quite as full as I need them to be, but I know that comes with time. I’m wanting to start dog/cat sitting to help me with my financial struggles and fill any extra time I have in my schedule! My dogs aren’t very sweet when it comes to meeting strangers pups, but when I’m watching puppers at clients houses I allow them to run their little tails off for a good amount of time outside (if there is a fenced in yard of course). I am definitely an outside girl so I love to just grab a book and sit outside with them, no matter the weather. If walks are needed, all I need is my Crime Junkie podcast and I’m good to go!
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience. She was wonderful with our dog Riley and consistently sent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in great hands. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs every chance I’ve gotten. At my church every knows I’m up for a dog watching gig at their house or my own at any time. I really love animals :) I’m a student and tennis player at Howard Payne university home for the summer and would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dogs and have a little buddy to hang out with! My goal isn’t just to take great care of your dogs, but to give them the time of their life! Lots of cuddles, walks, and attention! I’ll feed them, play with them, take them on walks, and out to use the bathroom whenever needed of course.
“Nichole was awesome! With my dog having a lot of anxiety, I’m a bit picky with who I have watching the animals. My plans had changed and the stay wound up only being for a couple of hours rather than overnight but by the end of it my dog didn’t want her to leave. She’s so sweet, considerate and well communicative. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Bianca was amazing! She handled our 3 dogs and 3 cats with such great care! It's so nice to be able to leave home without constantly worrying about our animals. Bianca is very punctual and professional. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”
“Above and beyond! Took care of things in addition to what was asked or expected (like watering my plants!) and I'm so thankful! I would love to book again soon ? You're a gem!”
“Alesia was an excellent sitter. She communicated promptly, sent pics and took exceptional care of our two senior dogs. House was clean and watered plants during her stay. We highly recommend her for your dog and house sitting needs!”
“UTTERLY AMAZING!!! My pup got a little sick when I was gone and suzanne took AMAZING care of him, forever thankful for you!! She even vacuumed for me! Suzanne you are a Godsend and I would 10000% trust you with my baby again, thank you so much for everything. Suzanne went above and beyond!”
“Kimberly was a life saver. Our regular sitter was unavailable which left us scrambling to find another sitter last minute. Kimberly was able to meet with very little notice and the dogs loved her immediately. She took great care of our Great Danes and did everything we asked. I would recommend.”
About: I’ve been taking care of sweet pups for awhile. They deserve good company (& treats;) I have two mini Aussies and they are my children, so I know exactly how i’d want them to be treated while I was gone! With my own dogs I have weekly and daily routines. I do work at the hospital once a week, so on those days routine changes. We make it work!! Walks and treats are important, as well as just being their company. While they are missing you, I will do my best to keep them occupied with lots of love and fun.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was very young. Ive always loved to be around them, care for them, and of course PLAY with them. I can do your basic training with most younger dogs in which include sit, stay, lay down, shake, high five, heel, and also potty training. You can count on me to take the time with all animals with what ever need it may be. I'm a stay at home mother of 3. I basically have all the time in the world. I can take care of my kids and care for my fur-babies with no problem at all! I do everything exactly how you would do for your fur-baby in your home. General instructions are always followed, maybe a little extra love and play but in all your fur-baby will be well taken care of, tail wagging, full tummy, and ready for naps.
“We are so grateful for Andrea pet and house sitting for our dogs Zeke and Hobbs. I feel like they are happy being in their own home and yard. We look forward to having Andrea sit for us again and feel safe with her being in our home.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
About: i’ve been having dogs since i was 6 and i love them and i currently have one named darky, a small dog who’s hyper i’m currently working part time from 5am-9am sometimes i stay till 1:30pm, but i’ll be free from 10am-7pm monday-friday and weekends whenever :) i keep my dog inside since i have no fence and i make sure my dog isn’t getting to any trouble, and i keep him company
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 139 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mixon. 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 Mixon 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 Mixon 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 Mixon 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
