“Katie was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative, sent me some of the best pix of my baby girl, left my house just as clean as I left it for her, she was very kind, very open, wonderful with my unexpected schedule changes and had so much fun with my silly girl! 💖 she is an angel! If you need a sitter for your fur baby, she is your girl!”
“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!”
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!
“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: I worked as a program director for a nonprofit animal rescue in Jacksonville, Texas for six years. My specialty was working with behavioral dogs. Especially bringing in feral dogs and working with them to socialize them until they were ready to get a home. I have always been a pet owner and have owned multiple dogs at a time. I am comfortable with all types of dogs. Young & old, big & small, well-trained or needs some work, I love them all! I have been in the trenches in animal rescue so you will be hard pressed to find a situation that intimidates me. I also love cats & am comfortable caring for them. I own & care for a ball python so I’m comfortable with snakes as well. I’m open to other reptiles and small animals. I’m really open to any animals as long as someone is willing to show me the care they require. During the week, I have a very flexible schedule. You tell me what you need and I can probably make it work. Weekends will be open as well, but slightly less flexible. But I’m always open to negotiations.☺️🐾✌️ I can not offer care in my home due to my current setup but I am more than willing to meet all your needs at your home & am very qualified as a sitter! I am a lifelong animal lover & have years of extensive experience caring for animals, dealing with medical issues, behavioral issues, training, transporting & helping them find forever homes. I have experience with feral dogs & cats, hospice animals, & happy/healthy ones! I have done some amazing things in my career. But I have retired from the trauma of Rescue and now would like to have a more easy-going time getting to love on some babies that just want a sitter.🐾❤️

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!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Nacogdoches is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 per night.

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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
