“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!”
“WOW! Madison L is a wonderful person. She took care of our Penny (dog) very well. Not only our pet we had her stay at our house and she also took care of the house very well. Madison kept us updated with texting and pictures of Penny. She made our trip with no worries about what was going on at home. I wanted to write a bad review cause I want Madison all to ourselves but NO I highly recommend her to take care of your pets.😊”
“Carly is amazing!!! She took such good care of our pup and treated our house with so much respect. She sent a lot of photos and updates. We will not hesitate to have her watch our dog again. Thank you Carly!”
“Jasmine was great with our 4 month old German shepherd Athena who can be a little weary of strangers. We had never left her and were so nervous but Jasmine was amazing with her and sent us updates and pictures and videos. Highly recommend her and will book her again!”
“Adrianna did an exceptional job with our dogs. We were on vacation for a week and she sent us multiple photos and updates daily, putting our minds at ease that they were in good hands. She went over and above the call of duty with so many updates, extra walks, and plenty of belly rubs. The dogs clearly love her too!”
“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!”
“Madison was wonderful with Ares! She was attentive, patient, and communicative throughout the stay. I really appreciate her care and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾”
“Jayla did an absolutely amazing job. my fussy frenchie warmed up to her immediately, which was the most important thing!! in addition, the house is cleaner than when I left it!! amazing 👏 🤩 🙀. Already booked another stay.”
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”
“Andrew is phenomenal and I’ll happily be requesting his service again soon :) he completed an in home stay with my pup and I know they took great care of him. He was incredibly flexible with my scheduled as well as Milo’s. Happy to have met Andrew and had great vibes on out meet and greet too!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets over the years! Dogs, cats, tortoises, lizards, frogs, you name it! I started with friends and family as soon as I could drive and have since worked at formal pet care businesses for close to a decade. I have a pretty free schedule right now, so I'm able to easily accommodate to your needs! I can work with early morning or late night check-ins with a heads up. I like to make sure I go over anything I might need to know, including emergency meds, emergency contacts, etc. I find it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to someone's furry friend! They're family after all!
“We are so happy that Giselle sat for us while we were away at our wedding! She was wonderful with our dogs (who are very high energy), and we were able to relax on the trip knowing that she was holding down the fort. When we returned home, the house was in perfect shape! We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to take care of our boys!”
About: I have been around and taking care of dogs since I could walk. I love all kinds and sizes of dogs. I will always put your dogs interests ahead of me when I take care of them. Making sure they are let outside, feed, fresh water, loved. Also if you’re interested in a dog lover look no further. If your dog gets dirty or has a mess I’ll clean up. If you need plants watered I’ll take care of it. If you need light cleaning around the house I’ll take care of it(like vacuum only if provided) bring in the mail. If needed to take you dog to their favorite place if able to or if your dog wants to just snuggle on the couch is awesome as well. I like being able to help whenever I can. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I love dogs. If I get into a good routine with your dog all the better. I provide in your home service from walking or if you have a fenced in yard I’ll play with your dog outside. I provide safety by knowing my surroundings and knowing what your dog is capable of.
About: I have experience caring for my neighbors’ dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I provide patient, reliable, and personalized care. I’ll treat your dog like my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide loving and attentive care for pets. I work part-time and occasionally travel, but when I’m home, I spend most of my time taking care of my home and my two cats. Since I’m often home, I’m able to provide pets with companionship, attention, playtime, and a comfortable environment. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by caring for their animals when they need someone they can trust. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. I will provide reliable care, regular updates, and treat every pet with the same love and patience I give my own. In my home: I have a spacious home with multiple empty rooms and a fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I can create a calm, separate space if needed. I have two cats of my own, and if they do not get along with a visiting cat, I can safely keep the guest cat comfortable on the second floor with a room, a window, and everything they need, while still providing plenty of love and attention. In your home: I will care for your pets while respecting your home and your routines. I will follow your instructions carefully and will not touch or use anything that I am not allowed to. My priority is to keep your pet comfortable, maintain their normal routine, and leave your home clean and respected.
“Jordan did an outstanding job with our furries. She was very punctual, she communicated very well and made sure that our 4 dogs were well cared for and loved while we were away. I would definitely recommend Jordan, and we will be reaching out to her for all of our future trips.”
“This was our second time using Emma and hope she will be available for all of our future trips. Our Chihuahuas feel comfortable with her and they were snuggling with her. She takes real good care of them and this time had to give medications to one and she made sure she communicated about the times medication were given and when they were fed etc. She left our house clean and even washed the bedsheets from the guest bed. Which was more than expected.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have experience caring for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m comfortable with the responsibility of keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m excited to turn my love for animals into a service where pet owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I work full time as a front desk receptionist, which will vary from 6-8 hour work days. I have a lot of time before or after my shifts to care for your fur babies, and i would be more than happy to help how I can! I will happily come to you and follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll respect each owner’s home and instructions, keep pets safe and comfortable, and provide updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. I understand every pet is different, and I’ll adjust my care to meet their individual needs.

Alaya was great and was able to watch Cooper on short notice. She sent photos and kept us updated on how everything was going. We came home after a weekend away to our house in the same shape we left it and to a very happy dog! Would definitely have her watch him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Odessa is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $89 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 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 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.

- 90% 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.
