“Kinsey did such an amazing job house sitting for our dogs! She was attentive, easy to reach, and sent tons of pictures during her stay. We definitely look forward to booking her again!”
About: I have loved animals all my life. I just moved to Darlington and my best friends mom told me her 1 cat won't come near me etc...1st day I was here her cat came up to me and let me pet her and she comes out of the room often to get petted. I have had a beagle, german shepherd and 2 lab/rotweiler mixed over the years. I am currently seeking employment so am available everyday/any time until I get a full time job. Can come any day or time if needed. Give them all the love they need, make sure they have food, water and take them on walks/go to bathroom. Play with them as well.
“We had a great experience leaving our 2 Dobermans with Ashley. She was a great communicator, took great care of my babies, great care of our home and even watered our garden and fed treats to my goats while we were gone. I will definitely call upon her again!”
About: I love animals and would love to care for yours while you go have fun and relax and take care of you! Call me anytime! If you happen to be 10-15 minutes from Academy, I would be able to do a potty break during the days, if not, any other time will work! I can stay overnight if needed! Let me know what works best for you! I love on animals and let them know I they are loved. I love sitting outside so can give them walks or just time laying in the sun!
“Kathie was excellent with my dog Macy! She took her on multiple walks each day and was very attentive. Kathie provided detailed updates whenever she went to walk Macy, feed her, and spend time with her. Highly recommend Kathie as a pet sitter!”
About: I’m currently a student at Texas A&M, and even with my classes, I keep a very open and flexible schedule for pet care. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, and I’ve been pet sitting for other families since I was a freshman in high school. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet comfortable, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love caring for all kinds of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I only have one class each day and work part-time at the Lincoln Recreation Center. I’m also a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, but outside of those commitments my schedule is wide open. That flexibility makes it easy for me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or longer pet-sitting stays whenever needed. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I follow all routines you provide, keep a clean and pet-friendly environment, and ensure they’re never left unsupervised in unsafe situations. I take time to earn their trust so they feel relaxed, secure, and happy throughout their stay.
About: Hi, I’m Matt — your friendly neighborhood sitter in West Bryan! I believe pets deserve a little vacation of their own while you’re away — full of comfort, play, and genuine care. I grew up with dogs and have always loved their company — big, small, shy, or silly, they all have their own personalities, and I enjoy getting to know each one. I’m calm, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s a nap on the couch, a walk in the sunshine, or just quiet company, I make sure your furry friend feels loved and secure. I don’t have pets at home right now, so your pup gets my full attention. My schedule is flexible on weekdays, which makes it easy to fit in your routine — from drop-ins to overnight stays. I’m always happy to send photo updates and keep you connected while you’re away. Because when you travel, your dog shouldn’t just “make do” — they should have a great time too. My flexible weekday schedule means your dog’s “vacation” runs on their time — not mine! Whether that’s a morning stroll, lunchtime visit, or cozy overnight stay, I’m around when they need company. Because dogs deserve vacations and safe spaces! My home is quiet, pet-free, and cozy — the kind of spot pups settle into easily. I keep things calm, follow your care instructions closely, and always supervise outdoor time. Think of it as a stress-free stay for your dog — and peace of mind for you.

My availability is every day from 12pm-12am during the weekdays and I'm free for the weekends. I can also provide long term boarding for your pet. Please let me love your pet.

I have a fenced backyard that your pet can run around and have fun without escaping. I also have security cameras to keep a watchful eye.
About: Currently, I am a first year veterinary student at Texas A&M. With that I work with dogs and cats daily, medically and behaviorally. I have experience with giving medications, dog walking, cleaning cages, and taking care of multiple dogs at once. While in school, I have also been volunteering at my local animal shelter, so I have many years of dog and cat experience. With the diverse experiences that I have, I am able to completely tailor my visits with your pets to their needs. I love taking care of animals and will ensure that they get all the attention you would usually give them. One of my goals within veterinary medicine is to offer low cost services to ensure that every pet has the opportunity to be taken care of. I love serving my community and I am a compassionate and loving care taker. Your pet(s) will be in great hands! I currently a full time student, so while I’m in school I will only be able to care for your pet before 8am and after 5pm. On the weekends, I can be very flexible since most of my days are spent studying. Specifically I would be able to check on pets every 4 hours or so if needed. I am even more available and flexible during breaks from school. During breaks, it’s all dependent on what kind of care your pet needs but I am adaptable and a quick learner. While caring for your pets in your home, I am willing to spend extra time playing with or just cuddling so they have extra human interaction. I also have toys I can bring if needed as well! I will also update you every time I am there so you know who is coming into your home, and I take every precaution to ensure that your pets and home are safe while you’re away. I can be adaptable to whatever situation you are in!
“Brittany did a great job with our two dogs and three cats. She sent pictures to us on a regular basis and stayed in contact with us. Our pets really liked her.”
“Madison was quick to respond to my request for a home sitter. She was kind, personable, and my dog appeared to connect with her quickly. She was helpful in answering questions while we were away and kept me updated a few times while we were away. She took care of my dogs medical needs while we were away. She offered to strip the bed she slept in and took the trash out before our return home. Upon our return home, I mentioned her name in conversation with a family member and my dog was quick to turn his head as if he knew who I was talking about which tells me he connected very well with her. I recommend using Madison as a home sitter.”
“100% recommend booking !!! I cannot recommend Linda enough !!! We have used her multiple times and will use her every-time ! My puppies love her and she sends updates everyday with lots photos and explains how they are doing ! The house is always well kept and feel so much ease leaving knowing she is there taking care of them !!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 and since then have pet-sat for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and turtles. Additionally, I have 5+ years of experience training and taking care of horses of all ages. I am currently working part-time 11 am to 4:30 pm on Mondays and 8 am to 4:30 pm Tuesday-Thursday. I am completely free Fridays and on the weekend. I am living in an apartment with a closed in grassy courtyard with no way to crate an animal in my home, but I do have a balcony.
About: I’ve cared for dogs on and off my entire life and have experience providing overnight pet sitting as well as regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and plenty of companionship. I know every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to care for your dog as if they were my own, giving them the same love, attention, and patience they would receive from you. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to help. I enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. At this time, I provide care only in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll follow your instructions exactly, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, litter box care, or any other special requests. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I grew up on a farm. Have had numerous dogs, cats and other species. I have worked at a pet resort and am currently a vet tech working at a local hospital. I am currently doing school and working part- time, but I know how to manage my time in between. For example, I love taking dogs on walks and doing interactive activities with them! I currently do have a senior dog that can keep your fur baby company. I have a fenced in yard, but I do also do walks. My dog goes on 2-3 walks a day + gets time outside in my back yard whenever she wants. She’s on a strict feeding schedule and has dietary restrictions which I also accommodate.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 286 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mumford. 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 Mumford 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 Mumford 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 Mumford 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.

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.
