Jessica is a gem. Raider had some problems Saturday, but she was so patient. The house was in great order when we got home and she kept us apprised of how Raider was doing. We were very pleased and would recommend her to others and use here again.

Martie was amazing! It was our first time being away so long and having someone house sit and care for our elderly dog and energetic cat. We received so many pictures, and so many good ones! She put our mind at ease. And she was so responsive with communication. Should we need this service again there is no doubt we would want her!

Erika was so amazing. Because we are paranoid parents of a rescue pitty, finding someone to take care of our baby for two weeks was a very scary thing to do. Erika reassured us that all would be well while we were gone, and sure enough, everything at home was perfect. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves during our travels, stress free, knowing Sheeba was taken care of and loved every day by Erika. Erika was also so wonderful with keeping in touch, communicated with us every day, sending us pictures and updates; and Sheeba seemed so happy and well taken care of; she did not even have as much anxiety when we returned home like we thought she would. Thank you so much Erika for everything; we will definitely keep you for the future!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our three dogs over the past four days, and we returned home to happy, well-loved pups and a house in perfect condition. She was highly communicative throughout our time away, providing updates that gave us complete peace of mind. She handled a few unexpected challenges with professionalism and ease, which truly speaks to her reliability and dedication. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I can’t say enough great things about her—she was absolutely fabulous! We would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and compassionate sitter.

Pamela did an excellent job caring for our dog. We felt confident knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She made sure he was fed, had fresh, clean water every day, and even gave him a daily treat. We truly appreciated her care and attention and would gladly recommend Pamela to others.

About: I have had experience with cats my whole life, dogs about half. I own two cats and have had them since I was born, but I have had friends and family with dogs along the years. I pet sit often for my Uncle and Aunt for their three dogs, and other family members for their dogs and or cats. I have plenty experience walking dogs, taking them outside, cleaning up after both animals (litter boxes or not), as well as both playing and feeding them! I am currently working part time, so I will have a decent amount of time to care for your pets! My timeframe does vary, but I am very punctual and flexible with my times. I am unavailable most every Sunday, but I will always let you know what works best for me so I can help you out! I love getting to know their personalities and sitting or playing with them, no matter how mellow or how excited! It is very important to me that I learn their boundaries and behaviors so I can give them my best care, like offering my hands out for them to smell or standing or sitting a certain distance away from them until they are comfortable with me.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My family frequently took in rescue pitbulls, so from a young age I learned how to train even the most stubborn animals. I began pet sitting for family/friends as a teenager. Many of the animals I took care of during this time were seniors, so I got quite a bit of experience in senior dog care. During college, I brought home a very energetic and very stubborn Cane Corso. I hired a professional trainer and learned many important tips on top of my already existing knowledge about dog training, which came in handy when I got a second corso. Throughout my life I’ve gained experience training puppies, taking care of senior pets, and caring for pets with diabetes and other chronic conditions. I’m currently PRN at my other job, so I can work my other job completely around the needs of your pet and what they’ll need while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and two bigger pups that are incredibly friendly and love having new dogs to play with. I also have a two year old daughter who is obsessed with animals, so needless to say your pet will not be spared any attention while in our home. Even if you’re not looking to board your pup, I have full availability to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own environment, and am willing to stop by as often as needed to make sure your pup gets all the care and attention needed while you’re away.

About: As a kindergarten teacher, caring for others is at the heart of what I do every day. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to get to know their routines, preferences, and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I will provide attentive and reliable care. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, especially during the summer when I have a very flexible schedule. As a kindergarten teacher, I am off for the summer and available almost every day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating pet care into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I am committed to providing reliable, consistent care and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I would love to take dogs to dog parks or on fun walks. I am very active and can go on long walks if needed. I currently am not living with any other pets.

I can’t say enough good things about Tiffany. She is so sweet and assuring. I was totally confident that Tiffany was a perfect match for us. This was our first experience with Rover and we hit the jackpot with choosing Tiffany! We have booked her for a 16 day vacation in a couple weeks and she will be back for that trip! Totally comfortable with her in our home and with our fur babies!

About: I have had cats and dogs pretty much all of my life whenever my family is gone. I am the one who babysits and walks them. I can even put diapers on a dog that is going through heat if need be lol! I am working part time, but for the most part I am very flexible and will be ready if you need to reach out to me for any pet sitting or dog walking. For the pets in my home, I usually always take her on walks morning, noon and night to make sure all of their potty requirements are good making sure they have food and water through all hours of the day.

Conner was a great sitter. He took good care of our "Piper". He had to deal with Piper's anxiety and resource guarding issues, so big kiddos for that. Conner also communicated well while we were out of town. We would definitely use him again.

About: Providing quality care is very important to me. I have Veterinary experience and I am trained/ certified in Pet First Aid, CPR, Medication Administration (oral, topical, and injections), Providing Sub-Q / IV fluids, and I specialize in medical needs animals, and reactive or aggressive animals. I have had pets my entire life and I’ve cared for all different types of animals. Dogs, cats, snakes, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, other small animals, horses, and even a Patagonian Mara! I do not have any restrictions on pets I can’t care for. I worked as a dog groomer so I have experience with bathing and grooming and would be happy to provide grooming services for an additional cost. I try to always be available in times of need. Whether that be an emergency, late night visit, or a last minute booking. This is one reason I accept bookings 24/7 unless we are traveling. I do pet sitting full time. You need an overnight visit for a pet with medical needs? No problem! You have a puppy who needs to go out in the middle of the night? You got it! Whatever your needs may be, I promise that I am willing to work with you the best I can! I will always make your pets safety a priority when they are in my care. Any instructions given will be carefully read and followed. Pictures can be sent, updates given, and lots of pets of course. Treats too if given permission first!

FAQs for House Sitting - Odessa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Odessa on Rover is $32.1 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 860 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Odessa. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
