“Katie is the sweetest person and just so nice to work with. Every interaction was so pleasant and she communicated beautifully, even sending photos of our pets.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ve cared for all different kinds of animals and previously worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I’m currently in college studying pre veterinary medicine, so caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about. I’d love to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule can vary, but I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after 1 PM, as well as most weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible! I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them comfortable. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime, extra attention, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there for them. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have experienced with working dogs for my hometown job as an attendant at a doggy daycare. As an attendant I would monitor groups of dogs from 20-50 dogs at a time, and I watch them play and their body language to make sure to prevent a fight. I am a Junior at SFA, so I have class but I am willing to walk or stop by through any time I can. I’m fee the weekends, and all day Monday, Wednesday,Friday and after three on Thursday. I wont be able to watch the pets at my home. But at the clients home I would, make sure I meet the babies before hand and then while at the house for the services, I would approach the pet slowly with treats.
“Ashley was awesome. She took great care of our furkids and they also really loved spending time with her. She sent plenty of photos and made sure we always had new pics when we woke up in a different time zone! Completely recommend her - she was fantastic!”
“Marlene was wonderful! I highly recommend booking with her! She took care of everything in my home while I was away and my kitties loved her. I am always a little anxious about leaving my babies but she is very trustworthy and handled it all. I really appreciated the sweet photos and updates, and came home to a clean house - she even did the laundry which was not at all expected! We love Marlene and will absolutely book with her again!! Thank you so much!”
“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”
About: I have been taking care of friends and family’s pets for many years now. I also used to volunteer at the local animal shelter which helped to to learn about how to react and treat the different personalities in animals. I play volleyball and attend school at SFA university, but I have online classes so other than my practice times I am always free for your pet. When I am caring for your pets I will make sure they are having fun while not going past the rules you have set for them!
“Absolutely LOVED Jackie’s consistent communication and pictures sent throughout her visits to help give peace of mind while you’re away! She’s trustworthy and reliable! Don’t hesitate to reach out to her to take care of any of your fur babies! ✨”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience and adaptability in caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I’m very patient, which is great for training puppies or helping older dogs with mobility issues or medical conditions. I also have a good understanding of basic obedience training, which helps me create a structured and positive environment for your pet. I’m comfortable with administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and providing extra TLC when a pet is recovering from surgery or illness. Plus, I’m very communicative with pet owners, making sure to provide updates and photos so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I’m a full-time student at the College of Healthcare Professionals, attending both online classes and in-person sessions on certain weekends from 9 AM to 5 PM. Outside of these hours, my schedule is completely flexible, with availability throughout the week and most weekends. This gives me the opportunity to offer consistent and attentive care to pets while balancing my academic commitments. I have two super friendly dogs, Zoey and Chanel. Zoey can be a bit skittish at first, but once she gets a chance to sniff you, she’ll warm up and follow you around like she’s known you forever! Chanel is full of energy, sweet as can be, but a bit spoiled—she's known to whine if things don’t go her way. Rest assured, whether it’s at my home or yours, I can ensure your dog will be in safe, loving hands and treated like part of the family!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nacogdoches
It was a pleasure to meet Callum and have him housesit with our two large and elderly dogs this weekend. He is polite, personable, and most importantly, attentive and responsive to the dogs. He catered to their idiocyncracies and left the house in good order. Callum provided great communication before and during the stay, allowing us to be away for an important family event with no problems or concerns whatsoever. Much appreciated!

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 Nacogdoches 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 Nacogdoches 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Nacogdoches 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
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.
