About: Hi, I’m Abigail! I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and understand that every one has its own personality and needs. I take pride in providing a safe, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for. I know leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so I make sure to keep owners updated and reassured every step of the way. I'm a people person and love talking ! Do not feel shy to tell me what ur expectations are. I look forward to meeting your pet and making their time with me fun, comfortable, and full of attention. I have plenty of free time right now considering this is my full time job. I will be able to give your pet lots of attention, play, and care while you’re away. I love doing recurring drop inns! I care for dogs the same way I would care for people. They deserve respect, patience, and gentle treatment. Animals are innocent, and I feel lucky to have the opportunity to build a companionship with them. The more I know about your pet, the better I can help them feel comfortable while in my care. So please tell me all the silly little things that make your pet unique! I have a friendly dog of my own, but I understand that not all dogs get along. If needed, I will separate dogs in my care to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.I am comfortable handling rough or difficult dogs, but I cannot safely care for dogs that viciously attack people, I ask that owners are honest with me about their dog’s temperament and any behaviors I should be aware of. If a dog is not in a securely enclosed area and is not trained to be off leash , I will keep them on a leash at all times! Safety is my biggest concern when watching your pet i’ve learned a lot of what not to do but i’m aware anything can happen so I do my best to avoid any bad situations and if something does happen I tell owners right away!
About: *If you are outside the 10 mile radius I have set, don't hesitate to message me.* Aside from my experience a veterinarian assistant, I also have many years experience with my own pets and pet sitting. I have had dogs and cats since I was 2 years old and I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years! It’s a pets world, I’m just in it. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is dependent on what’s going on. On a day to day, I take care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats. When needed I walk friend’s dogs and keep them company while their humans are on vacation or working. I have three crate trained dogs at home. They are mostly only in there to eat, sleep(until they’re out of chewing stage), or when we leave. Otherwise they have free range of the house. It is challenging at times having two puppies and one senior dog, but as long as we keep tennis balls, squeak toys, and rope toys around we are good.
About: WARNING!! Your fur baby will go home more spoiled than they arrived! My name is Samantha Cooper. I am a stay at home mom with three children ages 8, 7, 4 and 10 months. I am very flexible on pickup and drop off times and accept last minute stays. Your pup will enjoy morning walks before 9am, sunbathing in the afternoon, treats, and relaxing inside after a day of playing. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac in Northeast Odessa. We have a six foot privacy fence. We have a good size backyard for your pup to run their little hearts out. We feed between 8 and 9 A.M. and 6 and 7pm. We can cover all other specifics at the meet and greet. Our pick-up and Drop-off times are between 6A.M. and 11P.M. Thank you for choosing us! We look forward to your stay! We do not have any other pets so we will be able to give our full attention to your fur baby. Our kids are home all day. I do not work. We are able to care for your baby all day. We will treat them as our own. Our furry friends are spoiled by us. They have the run of the house. Our kids love to let them sleep in their beds with them. We accompany them outside for potty breaks and to play.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 26 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Penwell. 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 Penwell 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 Penwell 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 Penwell 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.
