“Rebecca did an excellent job staying at our home with Pippin! She was really prepared with questions to help the weekend good smoothly and to understand his needs. She was very responsive to messages and sent detailed updates and pics. Our pup had a great time!”
About: I have had many pets over the years and would love to share the love and care I have for your pets. They bring joy in to my life and would love to care for them as my own. I'm very flexable to care for your animals. I don't have a 9-5 job so open for days and nights to be around for all pets. I would love the pets to feel loved and safe in the loving home they live in. I can take them for walks or let them out as needed.
“Jordan was amazing with Matteo! He is temperamental but her calm and genuine demeanor helped break through where he was comfortable and had fun with her. We will def book her again!”
“Jonaika is a mature, kind, responsible and communicative young woman. She stayed in our home with our two dogs for a holiday week, and provided loving and consistent care. She has a warm temperament which dogs loved, flows instructions, and cares for pets with great accountability. I highly recommend Jonaika for any pet sitting situation.”
“Thank you Jenni and Matt for being so wonderful! We had the best experience with our older lab. Ellie is getting too old to stay at kennels and we are more comfortable having her home where she is familiar and happy. Jenni and Matt stayed with Ellie over the weekend and did an amazing job. They were there frequently, spent lots of time with Ellie, and communicated with us through text and pictures. We are so appreciative of their help and very happy we found people we can trust. We are looking forward to planning more trips and using Jenni and Matt's services.”
About: We are a family with a 13 year old girl, 9 year old girl, 2 sweet cats, 2 hamsters and a yorkie! All our animals are vaccinated and not aggressive. Our girls are animal lovers and have been caring for pets since they could walk! We are used to prioritizing pet needs and are home throughout most days and could likely accommodate the most unique needs - without judgment! We have 3 adults in the home and there is rarely no one home at all. One adult works part time and one works from home. Kids have school and sports but as a family, we are used to prioritizing pets’ needs regardless of the daily schedule. We live in a beautiful neighborhood with nearby parks for walks and have a small back yard that is not fenced in. We have space for a crate indoors if needed, but also can provide lots of snuggles.
“Jophnie has been an excellent sitter for my babies. She kept in touch with me several times a day, which I really appreciated. Everything looked great when I got home. Everything was straightened up and clean. The dogs seemed happy when I got home. Very, very satisfied!! I will definitely use her again!!”
“Raven was an absolute pleasure; we would recommend her to watch your pets 100%! She was very communicative, helpful, and was able to help us with a last minute request. Our pup seemed to love her and be very comfortable with her.”

Nestled on our beautiful horse farm in lower Cecil County, our little slice of paradise offers breathtaking views, fresh country air, and plenty of room for adventure. Whether your pup loves splashing in the pool, running and playing in our safe, clean, and secure outdoor spaces, enjoying cozy snuggles inside, or taking a stroll to visit the horses, every day is filled with love, fun, and personalized care. We believe the most important thing we can give your pet is love. We care for each guest as if they were our own while always respecting and following every parent’s wishes, routines, and special instructions. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first. Our hope is that Safe Hayven Fields becomes your pet’s home away from home—a place they’ll be excited to return to, with wagging tails and happy hearts every single visit. We can’t wait to welcome your family into ours. ❤️ My entire life revolves around my farm and caring for all of my animals. I am on the property 24/7 as this is my full time job. And luckily it’s my passion. We have a beautiful fenced in pasture with lots of space to run. We are in a very private and rural area. We also have a pool- only if parents are OK and the Pup chooses to take a dip! Your Pup will always be supervised. If there are restrictions we will always abide by them. We also have dog crates if needed or requested and a beautiful inside area as well. Basically your Pup is gonna have free range and feel a home away from home.
“Busara was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment she came for the meet and greet, I was impressed. My dog was calm and took to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took notes about his care, showing how attentive and thorough she is. After the meet and greet, she sent a detailed care summary and promptly accepted the booking. Throughout our trip, she communicated amazingly, sending multiple updates and photos of our baby every day through out the day. It made being away so much easier knowing he was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, everything was in perfect condition. She brought in our mail, watered our plants, and most importantly, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I would absolutely recommend Busara to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again the next time our family travels!”
“I have no words to describe how happy I am with Heather! Gracie is a large energetic puppy and seemed to take to Heather right away! Heather kept me updated on all the exercise Gracie got as well as all the snuggle time. Gracie was a happy puppy when I got home and my house was immaculate! I will absolutely be asking for Heather again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since about 10 years old. My own, family, friends, and through dog sitting. I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with health issues. I work part-time, so my schedule can be flexible each week. I will have time during the weekdays and during the weekends for your pets! I will spend plenty of time giving your dog love, playing with them, and ensuring all their needs are met. I will follow exactly what you want for your dog while in your home.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Border Collies and have also adopted several dogs over the years, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy working breeds to laid-back companions. I've also volunteered at several shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. I work from home (as does my wife) so your pet will be getting consistent, attentive care. To be honest, our dog passed away last fall and we are missing the joy of being dog owners and having dogs around, but we need something a little more flexible for the time being. You are getting two sitters for the price of one and we will care for your dog as if they were our own :) As a former dog parent who has used Rover, my goal is to provide exactly what I was looking for each time I booked a walker/sitter: clear communication, limited hassle, and all of the assurances that you can rest easy and not worry...your doggo is in good hands! I work from home and call my own hours (as does my wife) so as long as we know your dog's routine we will make sure to incorporate it into our own. We have a fenced-in yard and a walking path near our home so walks are never a problem (we love walks). My wife and I both work from home so one of us will always be giving your dog attention/supervision. We have previously owned dogs who were flight risks so we have been conditioned to keep an eye out, keep doors closed, etc. We have a big fenced-in yard and have a little indoor gate/fence that we use in the house if need be to secure a hallway, etc.
“Krista was the absolute best dog sitter we could have hoped for! She was so caring and loving to both our dogs. She was especially patient with our high energy boy. Krista was incredibly flexible with our booking times as plans changed. We received daily photos and updates and knew our pups were in great hands.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has worked hands on in an animal shelter for many years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, including animals with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and special routines. I offer drop in visits, dog walks, house sitting, and boarding, with light grooming available for an additional fee. I’m comfortable giving medications, following detailed care instructions, and taking the extra time needed to make your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For boarding, I do ask that dogs are cat tolerant. I have three medically challenged cats of my own and regularly foster cats and dogs, so my home is very animal focused and used to having furry visitors! Your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, patience, and individualized care. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I work as a Cattery Caretaker at an animal shelter, so I’m around animals and caring for them throughout my workday. Outside of work, I have my own cats and regularly foster cats and dogs, so I’m very used to making time for feeding, cleaning, medications, walks, enrichment, and giving each animal individual attention. Currently working Full time! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside time and play. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Majiyah was amazing while I was away. I was a little hesitant at first about having a house sitter stay in my home, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She took great care of my dog and my home, and she really went above and beyond. When she thought he may have had a food allergy, she took the time to cook his food and make sure he was okay. She also took him to get a bath, picked up extra dog treats for him, and even cleaned my home before I got back. I noticed that my dog quickly became comfortable with her during her stay, which is always a positive sign. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend Majiyah to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Odessa
This is the second time Amarachi has watched my 3 dogs and, again, she did a wonderful job. I have a diabetic, senior dog and one that is very skittish. She took the time to learn their quirks and work with them. She also was very communicative and sent pictures and updates at least once a day.
Jess was amazing! She watched our two dogs and stayed at our house while we were out of the country. Jess was very accommodating and we received lots of updates and pictures of the pups every day. We came home to our house just as we left it and the linens in the laundry. This was our first booking and we felt very confident leaving our pets with her. Highly recommend booking with Jess!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Odessa is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $90 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,016 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Odessa. 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 Odessa 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 Odessa 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 Odessa 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.
