About: I have helped my mother in the past babysitting and taking care of dogs so I am sure I have the ability to do the same on my own. I am currently not working; taking a little break so I have all the time in the world to help out you and your pets! Making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Take them on many walks, play with their toys, and lots of head rubs and head pats!
About: I grew up in a household full of love for animals, and that passion was passed down to me. I’ve raised many dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors, and I treat every pet as part of the family — loved, cared for, and spoiled with affection. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels happy and safe while you’re away. I’m a mom raising three boys, so caring for others is just part of my day — pets included! I have a flexible schedule and can fit walks, visits, or overnight stays into my routine easily. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. At my home, pets have plenty of space to explore and play! I have a huge, partially fenced yard, and we live off a quiet dirt road with a pond and private walking trails. We can go leashed or unleashed, whatever your pet prefers. I love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to take walks, play, or just enjoy fresh air with your pets. If I’m caring for them at your home, I always follow your rules and routines to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds, including high-energy dogs, seniors, and even puppies. I am comfortable administering oral medications and topical treatments when needed. Your dog's health, safety, and comfort always come first. I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. We'll enjoy playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and plenty of pets. I'm confident maintaining existing training and reinforcing good habits along the way. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely committed to your dog's well-being, I'd love to help care for your four-legged family! I currently work full-time, with typical 8-5 hours, however my schedule is flexible which allows me to be flexible to your dogs needs. If I am staying at your home, my routine will be molded to fit the needs of your pet, including when I wake up, being home with your pup when I am not at work, walks, and more. Your pet is my priority! I will follow all your instructions, and assure that the care of your pet(s) and your property is excellent.
About: I have been an animal lover through and through all my life! I have done remote pet sitting for 2 years, and am great with dogs, cats, birds, and others! I am certified in small animal management as well as equine management, and have taken numerous courses and volunteered at shelters. I am currently a student at SHSU, home for the summer and taking online classes. Because they are online, I am able to work around them and fit any time of day for check-ins, walks, and more! From early mornings to late afternoons, I am here to service you. I have experience with many different temperaments of pets, and focus on creating trust between me and your furry friend. I am very quick to pick up on switches in mood, and understand stress signals when it comes to taking care of them. I have always been passionate for animals, and prioritize comfortability and safety 100% of the time.
“My anxious dogs were so calm when we came home after 6 days gone. They used to be traumatized and get sick whenever we kenneled. Gina was amazing with them. They had lots of meds they were taking, and we had recently moved from several states away. I could tell that they were very comfortable with her! She kept in regular contact sending fun pics and videos of our boys. Came home to a spotless house and well taken care of dogs!!”
“Nina was very communicative throughout her stay with my dog and cat. She took very good care of both and i appreciate her professionalism throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone that we didn't know. But Diane was literally the best! She kept me updated on everything by sending me videos and pictures. I knew after the first day they were in such great care. Diane was very curtious in my home and with my kids. I will be booking her for any future needs. I would give her more than 5 stars if possible :)”
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have had multiple pets in my life. Right now I have a 4 year old cat and a 1 year old dog. I am currently home all the time. Only if I’m shopping for different things like grocery or pet food and toys. We usually wake up at 6 and then it’s breakfast time then we go for walks. I have a fenced in small yard but big enough to run around and play in. I have to animals. I have a dog and a cat. My babies enjoy watching their tv shows. They both have different interests and favorite so they usually take both the tvs in my house.
About: Hi my name is Macie. I am a college student finishing up my degree in radiation therapy. I am a huge animal lover!! I have always grown up surrounded by so many pets. I can’t remember a time that there hasn’t been a dog next to me. I currently have a Great Dane that turned two not too long ago! There are also two other dogs in the house that I love just as much! I can assure you that I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “baby” treated while I’m away. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family!

“We were so happy with Haidyn and will certainly be using her again! She was quick to reply and easy to coordinate with, reliable and kind. She house sat our energetic foster dog as well as our many cats while we were out of the country and we came home to happy animals and a clean home! She was very knowledgeable about animals and did her research on our dog's needs prior to meeting. We greatly appreciated her passion and love for animals, knowing ours were being so well taken care of while we were gone.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in New Waverly is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $32 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Waverly 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 Waverly 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 Waverly 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
