About: I have worked 4 years in the veterinary medicine field as a credentialed certified veterinary assistant and I have cared for many animals at many stages in life. I am able to provide high quality care with giving medications, subcutaneous fluids if needed, subcutaneous injections if needed for those medically diagnosed, and are able to know body language extremely well. I am very flexible and am open to moving my schedule around for any time that will be more accommodating to my client to help them feel more at ease. I always go above and beyond for my babies and would do the same for clients as well. I’ve always had a heart for animals since I was young and as I have helped animals in more conditions than 1, ranging from puppy-senior, healthy-chronically ill, I have a background that is made to have an attention to detail for fur babies and can put your mind at ease knowing your babies are in great hands.
“Bailey was FANTASTIC! Punctual, loving to our furr babies, and respectful to our requests! Our return, we found our home emaculate and in perfect order! She will be our 1st request to any future bookings l!”
About: Aside from personal experience from owning pets, I’ve worked at a few pet sitting companies/daycares. I’m responsible for all pet needs including cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, grooming, and so much more if needed. I’m typically free any day of the week at anytime unless I have something already scheduled. I will always do my best to accommodate and schedule everything accordingly. I care for animals with all needs and will always put your pet first. It can be a little nerve wracking to have a stranger care for your pet, so that is why I make sure there are constant updates with pictures throughout our visit. My only focus is to care for your furry friend and keep them occupied with tons of love while you’re away.
“Miguel and Maria were able to help us out in a bind when we had a last minute cancellation from another pet sitter and had to change our plans. They did a great job taking care of our fur babies and our home and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videythroughout their stay.”
About: I’ve always lived animals growing up and I’ve been surrounded by many animals including cats dogs for the past 4 years , I love taking dogs on walks and caring for cats as well I’m currently a full time college students and working on finding a part time job I’m also involved in clubs on campus but 3 days a week I’m available almost all day to walk and play with pups. While I can’t do in house for pets since I live in a dorm but any environment an animal may be in I’ll make it safe and make sure your animal is comfortable
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets get the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while also keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Danni has taken care of our animals twice now - 2 dogs, a cat, our bunny, two fish, and was even kind enough to care for a stray kitty outside who found us and has come to depend on the meals we provide. Danni always leaves the house immaculate. And our beloved animals seem to feel safe and happy with her. So grateful! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
About: I’m a devoted dog owner to two pups and although I am new to Rover I do have experience with dog sitting/ walking for pets outside of my own home! I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to give them attention, patience, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a happy, stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m happy to provide walks, check-ins, and in-home sitting whenever your pet needs attention and companionship. I care for pets in their own homes so they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow all schedules and instructions closely, give lots of attention, and treat both pets and homes with respect.
“Andres (Andrew) was absolutely outstanding! He was so great with our Bulldog, Rex. He went above and beyond each day, sending us lots of pictures and videos of Rex eating, playing, and resting. 😊 When we returned, Rex was happy and our home was tidy! We are very happy with Andrew and the wonderful care he provided for Rex. 100% recommend him!”
“Korbin went above and beyond during my 7 day trip. When my flight got cancelled he even stayed one more night! He is wonderful with my dogs and was very respectful of my house! Hire him- you won’t regret it!!”
About: Howdy, my name is Diane, I’m 28 with 2 doggos! When I’m not at school, I am working as a sports med intern for a football team here in town! My doggos are 12 & 10 both rescue pups that I wouldn’t trade for the world! They like hiking, car rides, & cuddling together on the couch. I’m on this app to help those like me (with crazy busy schedules) to make sure all their animals (not just dogs and cats, I can also help with others) are well taken care off! If you have an additional questions feel free to message me! Since I do work I know the true importance of giving your fur babies the time they need! So anytime I’m not working I’m doing fun engaging activities with them! Whether it’s walks, training, or even just mental stimulation activities! My animals are like my children, and I live by that as well when it comes to other animals. I assure that I will care for your babies as they are my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,025 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Poteet. 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 Poteet 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 Poteet 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 Poteet 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.

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.
