About: With 3 years of pet care experience, I've watched and walked dogs of all sizes and ages. At home, I have my own young pup, so I'm happy to match your dog's energy—active walks or relaxed couch time." My schedule is wide open right now, so I can offer flexible availability for any walks, drop-ins, or sitting—including weekdays, evenings, and last-minute requests. :) I don't have a private yard, but my apartment complex offers plenty of space, and I'm close to great parks like Zilker for walks and playtime. At home, my own senior cat is calm and sleeps most of the day, while my pup is energetic but well crate trained, so your pet will be in a safe, comfortable environment.
About: I’ve grown up personally owning 2 cats and 2 dogs my whole life, and now co-parenting two more dogs with my S/O I currently have a lot of free time during the weekdays from Monday-Friday, mostly M-T will be available from morning to afternoon, sometimes night time. I always keep an eye on my dogs and any pet I’m taking care of, making sure they got enough water and food plus also letting them outside to go potty every once in a while. Every pet is different with how they react and respond but I’m confident in my experiences that I can adjust and or make sure the pet is comfortable at all times when the owner is away.

Isabelle is amazing and my go to dog sitter! Whenever I leave on vacation I know that my dog is well taken care of and loved. She sends me photos and updates every day of them playing together or going on walks. I highly recommend Isabelle to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.
Daniela was wonderful with our pets! We felt very comfortable and our dogs loved her from the beginning. She was able to give them medications, stay at our house, and gave them plenty of supervised time outside. Everything was in great condition upon our return. I highly recommend her for your pets needs!
suzette went above and beyond our expectations for our babies! she was able to get us in last minute before our trip and we are so grateful we found her. she sent pictures of our pets often, took careful consideration of their unique needs, and even trimmed our dog’s nails for him. on top of that, we came back to our place being cleaner than we left it! i highly recommend booking suzette to take care of your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pilot Knob on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,705 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pilot Knob. 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 Pilot Knob 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 Pilot Knob 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 Pilot Knob 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.
