About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I'm trying to find someone who needs help taking care of their pets! I love animals and would love to spend time with your furbabies. I enjoy taking walks and having company with me would make the walks so much more exciting. Plus, everyone involved gets some exercise! I have experience taking care of dogs and cats and I am available for short notice care. Thank you and have a wonderful day! I will be available most days unless I already have something scheduled. Please message me and I will see if I can accommodate you. I am available to help with your animals on most days, as long as I do not have a prior engagement. Let me know what you need because I can be flexible with my schedule. At this time, I don't provide care in my home. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and checking in on either cats or dogs.

McKenzie was great! She took everything in stride with our doggies and went above and beyond in caring for them. They took to her right away. She stayed at our house for several days and left all clean and in order. Will definitely ask her again as the need arises.

About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs

About: I’m not just a sitter—I live the pet life every day. Between my three dogs, a pig, and a few ducks, I’m used to energy, mess, and all the personality that comes with it. Big dogs, little dogs, sweet pups, stubborn ones—I’ve handled them all. I’ve got six acres for safe running and exploring, plus plenty of time for cuddles when it’s calm. I’ll keep you updated honestly, because I know how it feels to wonder what your pet’s up to. Around here, your dog’s not just watched—they’re part of the crew. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. With dogs of my own, I’m outside and active multiple times a day, so adding your pup into the mix is natural. I work flexible hours and spend most of my time at home, which means I can give plenty of attention, exercise, and check-ins without rushing Caring for pets in my home is simple. If i go outside , we all go outside. If I come inside we all come inside. We all eat breakfast snacks and dinner at the same time. This isn’t something that’s inconvenient or difficult to us. This is our life on the farm.

About: With a lifetime of dedicated experience, I offer professional, reliable care for dogs and cats. My philosophy centers on prioritizing your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as my own. I maintain a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, including strict adherence to dietary needs and medication administration. My last 3 dogs lived to be 18 or more years old. I even had a Westin that had Addison Disease. I was told she would not live more than a couple of years, but with daily medication and lots of extra care, she lived to be 19 years old. Whether I am walking your dog or providing transportation, I remain vigilant for any signs of distress. I am trained in First Aid and CPR, and I always keep emergency plans ready to ensure your peace of mind. I find great joy in discovering each pet's unique personality and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment. My responsible and empathetic approach ensures your companions are in excellent hands. I look forward to meeting your furry, feathered, or hoofed family members and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. NOTE: For animal sitting at your home, I will need the flexibility to tend to my own pets and my elderly mother at my home. They will be short visits and I can then return to your home. Im currently in between jobs and available any hours. Once I find a position to close out my career, ill still be available outside of my work schedule. I am open to caring for your pet in my home, depending on type and size. I also have experience with dogs that require medication.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a couple of years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies as well as senior dogs who may be hard of hearing or losing their sight, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During visits I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I aim to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a fairly new stay at home mom so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your pets! I schedule feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and attention around my baby’s naps and feeding times, so your pets always feel safe, loved, and happy. I plan longer walks or extra play sessions during calm times, making sure both pets and family stay comfortable and cared-for throughout the week. While caring for your pets in your home, I follow the routines and instructions provided by you to ensure consistency and comfort. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, offering playtime or walks, and giving lots of attention and reassurance. I make sure your home remains safe and secure, and I always respect your space and belongings. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable, and loving presence so pets feel happy, safe, and well-cared-for while their owners are away.

About: I started pet sitting while working as a vet assistant throughout college. I now enjoy caring for furbabies of all sizes for fun. I feel I provide them safe stimulation while they bring me non-stop joy. I am happy to provide extra services (nail clipping, teeth brushing, bathing) when needed. I am also comfortable with nuances of feeding a raw diet to your furbabies as I have kept all of mine on this regimen for over 10 years now. I am happy to keep your dogs on strict leash walks, take to off leash parks or work on any training youre seeking while out of town or unable to be around in sudden moments. You can feel at ease knowing your fur family will be loved and well cared for!

About: I love animals. To add to that, dogs and cats love me and typically come up to me for love and attention. I also talk to them like I would a baby.. that's not weird, right? I work full time 6 days, but typically have 3 consecutive days off, so I can give your pets the attention they need as long as you need it. I can stop by in the evenings on workdays or anytime on my days off. My dog and cats are all indoor pets. They do not step foot outside sadly. They are very delicate to the environment here in Texas. I feed them 3 times a day and they receive fresh water.

About: Hi! I’ve had over 10 years of experience caring for and working with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with basic training, administering lots of patience and love, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also helped foster pregnant female animals and cared for newborn litters, so I understand the extra attention, gentleness, and responsibility that some pets may need. Your pets will be treated like family in my care, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection to keep you at ease while you’re away! 🐾 I work from home so I am actively able to provide daily outside playtime and potty time during the day and some much needed sun bathes for the sun bathers. I am able to provide a good feed schedule as well treat times! It is a pleasure to be able to work from home and effectively care to the needs of each furbaby! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to ensure every pet receives personalized care, patience, and plenty of affection. I believe communication is extremely important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check ins for peace of mind. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, young, or senior, I strive to make them feel secure, loved, and at home in my care. 🐾

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and neighbors trusted me with their pets as early as age 16. I continue to help friends and family by providing walks, playtime, and plenty of comfort and companionship for their pet. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and with dogs who have disabilities. Also small animals such as mice, hamsters, bunnies all the way up to Salcuta tortoise , I truly treat every pet like family and believe animals bring peace and joy to our lives. As I write this, I’m sitting for six dogs happily curled up at my feet and in my lap right where they belong. I currently work a shift schedule where I would be available after 2 pm or after 5 am. Hope to make this more of a full time job. Your welcome to contact me and I can let you know my schedule for the week. If needed I can ask off should I be needed for multiple days. In my home, I have a fenced yard that is perfect for both my dogs and my tortoise. I spoil my tortoise with delicious treats and ensure he stays warm in the winter. My dogs are like my kids; I take them for walks, give them treats, and shower them with love. When caring for a client's pet, I strictly follow their instructions. I provide treats if permitted, take them for walks as needed, and offer plenty of affection to ensure they feel loved. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment, helping them feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Calm

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 135 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Calm. 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 Mount Calm 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 Mount Calm 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 Mount Calm 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 with handling special pet needs in Mount Calm. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
