“Shannon did a fantastic job caring for my two high energy dogs. She provided periodic video and pictures, and was great at communicating with me. I will certainly schedule Shannon for my future dog/house sitting.”
“Caitlin took great care of my pups! I really loved that she took additional time for a meet and greet to ask necessary questions about my fur babies & provided lots of updates while I was away!”
“I’ve hired many pet sitters over the years, and Katelyn has been the most communicative, thoughtful, and caring. She provided regular updates and took exceptional care of our pet, making our trip completely stress-free. I highly recommend her!”
“We had Ekaterina stay in our home and watch our dog while we traveled. She came to our house to meet and I knew right away I would book her. She was lovely, great communication, and just seemed like a genuinely nice person. My boys loved her videos and pictures she sent us while away. ! Our flight coming home was delayed another 24 hours and after reaching out to her to stay another night she responded right away and had no problem staying! We truly appreciated her accommodating our last minute flight headache and would 100% book her again! Our dog Cali seemed in great spirits when we got home and I knew she was taken well care of. Thanks again Ekaterina! 😃”
“Kathleen was more than we could have asked for! She really took the time to get to know our anxious puppy and by the time we went on our trip, our dog Honey was comfortable to hang out with her. She is a great communicator and let us know that Honey was doing fine so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be booking her again next time we go out of town!”
“Patricia took care of my dog for a couple days and she did amazing with him. He’s a special little guy with a big personality, and she was able to calm his anxiety very quickly. She sent me pictures often so that helped calm my anxiety too 😊 On top of all that, she was a great guest in our home. I will be booking her again soon! Thank you Patricia! 🙏🏼”
About: Growing up, I have taken care of many dogs and cats for my neighbors and friends. From raising three dogs and two cats to providing neighborly care, my reliability in pet feeding, walking, and house-sitting pets is exceptional. I’m currently a full-time student throughout the weekdays, so my availability is open for the weekends. Depending on your fur baby’s and your needs I can be flexible with times along with overnight stays. I prioritize following the provided instructions and offering excellent care tailored to each pet's needs. Drawing from my experience as a pet owner, I recognize pets as cherished family members. Whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize transparency, updates, and utmost trustworthiness in their care.
About: Hey! I’m Karissa. I’m a proud girl dog mom to two amazing pups—Chayse and Shadow. Because I know how much peace of mind matters when you're away, I wanted to open up my home to give other local dogs a safe, fun, and loving environment. I work a hybrid schedule, which means I'm home full-time on Mondays and Fridays, and available for weekend sleepovers (Friday through Monday). I have a fully fenced backyard for endless fetch sessions, and my downstairs area is completely set up as a dog-friendly zone with cool flooring, toys, and a secure layout. And for those hot Houston days, I have a sprinkler and splash pool. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I require a mandatory meet-and-greet in our secure, fully fenced backyard before any booking is accepted. My dogs are fully vaccinated, and I only accept social, dog-friendly pups. I also have a crate available if your dog needs a structured nap or bedtime routine.
“I cannot say enough good things about Shanna! We’ve lived a lot of places and booked through rover frequently and she is top notch. She communicated frequently with updates and pictures and you could tell our two dogs and cat took to her immediately! I would absolutely recommend her as someone to trust your fur babies with.”
“Shanna did an amazing job taking care of our three fur babies! She kept us updated throughout our time away and made sure we knew how each one was doing. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our pups a bath when he was feeling a little itchy. It was clear that she truly cared for them and treated them like her own. Honestly, I think our pups were almost disappointed to see us come home so soon because they were having such a great time with her! We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend Shanna and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”
“Tanesha has taken care of Bubba and my home 3 times now and we have found our furry god mother 😉 I highly recommend Tanesha and will continue using her for all my future trips. Her extra care and attention, cleanliness, and going above and beyond makes it so easy to just relax when I get home. She’s always prompt, responsive, reliable and knowledgeable.”
About: I usually walk my neighbors and brothers dogs, check on the cats and have a dog of my own! I love spending time with animals!! I have a very open schedule and I wake up and take my dogs outside and fed them and check on them throughout the day I make sure there water and food bowls are always full and clean and then take them out to the bathroom for some Vitamin C
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs from my previous work at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and supervision. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I always treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I have a dog of my own, so pet care is naturally part of my everyday routine. From morning walks and feeding to playtime, training, and evening wind-downs, I’m always hands-on and attentive. Caring for my dog has taught me consistency, patience, and the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged—skills I bring to every animal I look after. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent, making sure they’re fed, walked, and comfortable, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep the environment safe, clean, and familiar so each pet feels relaxed and well cared for.
About: I am a one family at a time pet care provider, do not believe in guaranteeing safety for even the most friendliest of pups behaving “normally” with abnormal, unfamiliar caretakers and environments. I have veterinarian experience as well as grooming experience. Would love to further a career in animal training. I have experience with all types animals. Im a stay at home mom who is in need of some animal loving. I have plenty of experience with all types of breeds and plan to further a career in veterinary medicine. I have a large fenced yard and a small family who adores animals. My goal is to make sure your pets get treated as if they were my own
“Kristen and Jeffrey did a great job house sitting and taking care of our two dogs for three nights. They were reliable, took care of our home, and cared for our dogs very well. They gave updates through the day and lots of cute photos. We came back to happy pups and everything in great shape. We would definitely recommend them and would be happy to have them help again in the future.”

Carly is an amazing sitter! She is very kind and took the time to meet all of our furbabies and go over all their care instructions! She was also very patient and understanding with how much information I gave her for each of our pets! She followed their routine perfectly in regards to mealtimes and taking them out to potty and run around! As well as checking the litter box for our cats! She did a great job looking after them and caring for them while we were away! Carly is trustworthy, dependable, and communicative! She reached out with any questions she had and also sent updates! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her again!
I have a few rescue dogs and they all have different issues. We normally take them with us when we travel but couldn’t this time. Maria was a Godsend, took care of their idiosyncrasies and did a great job communicating what was going on. Five stars. Highly recommend.
Bettina is the best dog sitter we have ever had! She sent pictures and videos at every visit. She is incredibly kind and our dogs loved her so much. She played with them, cuddled with them, and really spent time with them. I can not recommend her enough. She is wonderful!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Bentley! Stacy stayed in our home with him while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and trustworthy hands. She took such great care of Bentley and were incredibly respectful of our home. She kept us updated, gave Bentley lots of love and attention, and made sure he stayed comfortable and happy throughout our time away. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a home exactly as we left it meant so much to us. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with Stacy again!
Aubrey was absolutely incredible! She stayed overnight with our Belgian Malinois and Siberian Husky for three days and took wonderful care of both of them. If you know the breeds then you are aware of how important it is to have someone with experience and very trustworthy! She was extremely respectful of our home, communicated consistently, and always let us know when she would be away from the house. She followed all of their care instructions perfectly, including special food and medication. Everything went so smoothly, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. If I could give Aubrey more than five stars, I absolutely would. We would happily book her again and plan to for all future trips without hesitation!
Malachi was wonderful! He house sitting our two dogs for a week and everything went so well! He sent us pictures and kept us updated. We highly recommend Malachi, our crazy dogs absolutely love him. He is a great dog sitter, very respectful and responsible.

She even went above and beyond by giving one of our pups a bath when he was feeling a little itchy. It was clear that she truly cared for them and treated them like her own.

We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend Shanna and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!
Nicole and her husband came to visit the dogs beforehand and are very nice people! Took a little too long to reply for us at some times but kept us updated as things arose. We had some damage, from the dogs that was communicated to us, on the baseboards that were a little excessive so we were a little upset about that. The house was very clean when we did come back though!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rayford is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $139 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 Rayford 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 Rayford 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 Rayford 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rayford. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
