When in my care your pets are my priority. I want you to never have to worry about finding a good dog sitter because you found one! I’m a part-time student with plenty of free time, and I’d love to fill it by caring for your pets! If I could be any dog in the world, I’d be a Chihuahua. They get the ultimate princess treatment fitting perfectly in a purse to go anywhere with no cares in the world. I never want you to worry about your pet, I will send updates and pictures anytime you want! My goal is to make sure you have a getaway with no stress of if your dog is getting great care.
“Sierra was amazing! She frequently sent me updates on the dogs & they loved all their playtime. The house was in perfect shape when I got home which was a huge relief after a weekend of traveling. I will absolutely have Sierra stay with the dogs again! She’s the best!!”
About: Hello! I am a dog mom to 1 dog. He's around 12 years old. I've been dog sitting for about 5 years now. I have dog sat for friends and family in the past. I've met a few clients on here who became regulars. I am willing to visit your home and help take care of your fur babies while your away. I can help feed, take to the bathroom, clean up, play, and cuddle. Thank you for your interest in my dog sitting services. Hope to hear from you soon! I work full time. I will only be available on certain days or throughout the weekend. Willing to negotiate other days if needed. Thanks. :) My 3 dogs are loved and spoiled. I can take care of your pets however you would like. Dropping in to say hello, check their food/water, cuddles, and of course potty breaks!
About: I’ve cared for animals longer than I can remember and will treat any animal like my child. No matter the size or age of the dog I will treat them all with love.❤️ I’m currently a college student having school Monday-Thursday. My Mon/Wed will be busy but my Tues/Thurs are only busy 10:30-12:30. I am available for weekends when needed. If there is a day that you need me and I do not have available message me, so we can discuss if I would able to do it. I am flexible those are just days I’m a little bit busier. I live with my parents with a fenced in yard for my dogs to run around. I enjoy cuddling with my dogs while watching tv or walking them around outside. I have pet sit for friends/family before and while doing that I check to make sure they have food and water, I also give them loads of attention since I know it is difficult being alone.
About: I have always had animals and am very capable of handling them. I also work at a pet store as a junior animals care specialist. I will love your animals as my own! I do go to college and have a job but I will work with you on scheduling and finding times that work for all of us. I have many animals and I take care of them by feeding them and providing them all the essentials. I also make sure to give them a clean environment and spend time with them all the time.
“Lainey recently stayed in our home with our dog for over 10 days. She was the perfect pet and home sitter. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the future! She sent us daily pictures and videos and we were always at ease that our little girl was being well taken care of. Our home was left in perfect condition and maybe even cleaner than when we left it! Thank-you Lainey for being such a caring person!”
About: With over 11 years of professional caregiving experience, I understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing compassionate care. Those same qualities are what I bring to every pet I care for. Whether your fur baby needs playtime, cuddles, walks, medication, or simply a comforting companion while you’re away! I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, happy, and loved! I’m blessed to have a fur baby of my own, she is a 3 year old Lab/Blue Healer mix named Cozy and she’s my registered ESA and has high energy with a big personality 💕 I am always available with open arms whenever needed your fur baby needs a safe space to stay! I am ready to play, cuddle and love with your babies just like my own 💕 I absolutely ADORE interactions with any animal that comes my way! I am very experienced and very attentive when caring for your fur babies. I have a fenced in back patio for outside time and live in a neighborhood that’s very safe to take walks around. I also am extremely cautious when doing drop in visits in someone’s home and treat it with dignity and respect.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Odessa is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $100 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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.
