“Darrius did a great job with our pups. One is very prickly and needs medicine. He did a great job of making sure she took her medication which is our main concern. He also let our bigger dog take his time outside even when the weather wasn't great. We will definitely use him again.”
“This was our second time booking Jenna! It’s safe to say we have found our dog sitter for all our future needs! She is great with the dogs, sends updates and pictures, and always flexible to our last minute needs!”
“Nelson was great with my pups! They had a great time. He updated me frequently with pictures. He even set up a kennel for me and cleaned up before he left. I will use Nelson again!”
About: What sets me apart is my expertise in both puppy training and senior dog care, ensuring personalized attention at every stage of your dog’s life. Reliable care with a focus on your dog’s comfort and well-being. Whether it's energetic walks or low-impact exercise, I tailor my services to suit your dog’s unique needs. As a part-timer, I carefully schedule pet care around my other commitments, ensuring flexibility to accommodate each pet's needs. I prioritize consistency and quality, fitting in walks, playtime, and care sessions throughout my week. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, and personalized attention. I maintain a routine that includes feeding, training, and rest. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet's usual routine. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care requirements, ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space.
“Paul was the best dog sitter I've EVER had. He took such amazing care of my pups, updated me frequently, sent pictures and videos, and left my house in perfect condition. I'm SO glad I found him. I was able to go away on a work trip, knowing my dog's were in good hands. Thank you Paul!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing companionship. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make time to provide reliable, attentive care. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and work to ensure pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and provide a calm, caring environment. I understand the importance of trust and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have loved all sorts of animals - from birds, cats, dogs and fish to more exotic animals like hedgehogs and various reptiles. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of animals, always striving to provide the very best living conditions as possible. As a dog care specialist in the past at a previous job, caring for man's best friend is basically second nature for me. . I love our four legged, friends and treat each one I encounter as my own. I continued my love for animals and I am now a Dog Groomer in Houston over 7 years now! I look forward to meeting some precious pups and kitties and hope to see yours soon! I work Tuesday through Friday as a dog groomer, but I do also leave my job at a decent time that if I need to watch your pet Friday evenings, I can. I am available usually all weekend and Mondays and can easily care for your baby full-time. I have an outdoor dog run that is fenced in and secure so the dog will be safe. While outside your pup will always be leashed up, and if your furry friend needs to be crated, I can do that as well for you.
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“Nicole rocks! Not only was she a great caretaker for our two (higher energy) dogs while we were out of town, but she was also really responsive and helpful when we ended up having some scheduling changes with delayed flights. It can be so stressful leaving your home and fur family to a person you don’t know well, but Nicole eased all of our anxieties and our girls loved her! She will definitely be my first call the next time we need some help.”
“Peggy was great. My dogs really connected with her. She communicated daily with us, brought up any concerns, and was overall just what we needed. When we arrived home, they had obviously been cared for. She did everything we asked.”
“Kaitlyn did a fantastic job. We had an older dog and a very hyper puppy and she was so good with both. She sent updates and pictures. We would use her again in a second.”
“Alexi was wonderful with our dog. Her communications were excellent, sending photos and videos. I also appreciate that my house was left in excellent condition. I would happily book Alexi again.”
“jasmine was exactly who i needed for my sweethearts. she listened and took the time to understand each and they both enjoyed her attention and time very much. i'm super happy knowing they were safe, happy, and enjoyed their time with someone i could trust. for my next trips, definitely rebooking! she followed the schedule, asked questions; and quickly picked up their personalities.”
“Jenny was amazing she gave me multiple updates everyday and sent me lots of pictures! My pup was very well cared for and loved having Jenny watch her. Highly recommended Jenny and will be using her again in the future!”
“Amazing! Jillian was thorough and well informed when making a booking. She communicates quickly with any questions and happy to learn about each of my 4 dogs preferences! I will be booking again! Coco, Mali, Enzo and Ollie were at ease and so excited to see her! Highly recommend booking Jillian as she’s easy to talk to and eager to assist where she can. I felt so assured leaving my bus of pets with her for a full day and looking forward to booking her services again!”
“Ziaya was amazing! She took excellent care of my two dogs and made us feel completely at ease leaving her in our home. Highly recommend her services! She took them on multiple walks and gave us updates along the way. She’s the best!”
“Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.”
About: Your fur babies will feel at here. I have many years of experience with working with small pets from after birth until the stages of adulthood. I work mostly nights. So I am available to interact with your pets throughout the day. I do have a helper in my home (my mom). Who helps to take care of the pets with me. I take the pets for walks and allow them to free play throughout the day. I have a room set up for the pet boarding. The pets are allowed to roam in my home.
The median cost per night for house sitting in New Territory is $45

Carmelita was fantastic house sitting for our two pups over the weekend. She took the time to come out a couple weeks before to meet the dogs and get familiar with the house. She is incredibly responsive and sends pictures and updates throughout. We will definitely be having her back to watch our dogs next time we are out of town!
This was my first experience with Rover, and I’m truly so impressed. My dog unexpectedly had surgery, and I needed to hire someone to watch him when I attended a wedding to ensure he didn’t scratch/lick his wounds as he is a little MacGyver and manages to get out of every cone known to man. Insert Britteny saving the day! She was willing to help with a last minute request, and she was SO attentive to Benny. She sent me so many pictures which eased my anxiety so much, and gave Benny his pain and antibiotic medication regimen without any hiccups. She graciously accepted every request I had, and went above and beyond. The proof was really the fact that in many of the pictures, Benny is curled up cuddling Britteny. I would absolutely recommend Britteny for any of your dog walking/watching needs! Both Benny and I can’t wait to ask for her help again soon.
Jessie took wonderful care of our pup while house-sitting for us on short notice. She kept to a consistent schedule, sent us plenty of daily photos, and made sure our boy was comfortable and at ease. She was also very respectful of our home and left everything tidy. We’ll definitely be using her again—highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Territory
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Territory on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,239 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Territory. 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 New Territory 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 New Territory 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 New Territory 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.
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.
