“Jill is wonderful with our dogs! We have rebooked Jill 4x now and have had great experiences overall. Jax and Louie are not too energetic but they love to cuddle and Jill cuddles with them all the time. Jill is always home with our babies when we go on work trips or even holidays! We definitely recommend booking her for your pet sitting needs!”
“As newcomers to the area, we were nervous about leaving our dogs with someone we didn’t know. Ashley put our minds at ease by sending regular updates and photos so we knew they were in great hands. When a few severe thunderstorms stressed one of our dogs, she reached out right away, asked all the right questions about how we normally would handle it and made sure our pup was as comfortable as possible. We appreciated her thoughtful communication and care she gave our dogs!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our dog Ellie. She was extremely attentive and made sure Ellie was well taken care of the entire time. She sent us daily picture updates and also checked in with texts, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. Knowing Ellie was in such good hands made our time away much more relaxing. We truly appreciated the care and communication and will definitely be asking Chelsea to watch Ellie again in the future!”
“So thankful we found J! She took amazing care of our dog. Mail was brought in, house was clean, and even washed the sheets and made the guest bed! Daily updates and photos were a bonus. Our dog looked so happy on his adventures! Will definitely use again.”
“Kassandra arrived on time and was very sweet. She asked questions regarding our dogs care which I liked. Received several texts of our girl going for a walk, ride in her stroller, etc. which was very much appreciated. She followed all instructions & our oldie was very content when we got back. Would recommend Kassandra & would use her again!”
“Kelly is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my very needy cat while I was away. From the beginning, she demonstrated a truly professional and thoughtful approach—following clear procedures and making sure every detail was handled with care. What I appreciated most was how consistently she sent me updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind and made me feel connected even from afar. Knowing my cat was in such good hands let me relax completely during my time away. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Madison has been a pleasure to work with! Our two pups love her as much as she loves them. She treats them like her own and utilizes the tools we have in place so they can continue their training even when I'm not here. She goes above and beyond to help keep Bo and Tater comfortable while I'm out of town, this helps to ease my mind so I can enjoy my trips instead of worrying the whole time.”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”
“As always, Makenna was just wonderful with Harry. His anxiety at having us gone is practically non-existent when she stays with him. So grateful to have her to care for Harry when we can’t be there.”
“We had such a great experience with Ryann watching our two dogs while we were out of town. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure our dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious our dogs were happy and in good hands. We came home to two well-cared-for, relaxed pups—which says everything. We would absolutely trust Ryann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Arianna had amazing communication both before and during her stay with Maverick. She left our house better than she found it and our dog had a blast. We saw many pictures of him playing, eating, relaxing, etc. And came home to the cutest report card. Will definitely use Arianna again and would recommend her a million times if I could!”
“Another wonderful sitting with our cat Hope and Janicia! Hope is a very needy cat, that craves company and gets stressed without human interaction. I appreciate that Janicia was able to stay with her for two weeks during the December holidays. We came home to stressed free cat!”
“I absolutely love Linda. She took such good care of my 2 kitties & dog. They even seem to be a little more well behaved. I had one cat who would sometimes bully my dog (lol), but he isn't doing that anymore. Linda was also very helpful & took great care of my home. I'm looking forward to having her help out again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Odessa on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,878 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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
