“How do I put in words how amazing and grateful we are for Madison!!! She house and dog sat for us for six full days. It was originally only suppose to be for four, but my mom got sick and so Madison stepped in and extended for two more days. She learned how to give our diabetic dog his insulin twice a day, sent pictures every day and even cooked them eggs to encourage them to eat. She cleaned and washed up after the dogs and I am just so thankful and impressed by her. We will definitely be using her again in the future!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Colleen was wonderful with our dog Bentley. She sent updates and pictures on a regular basis of how he was doing. Which was very comforting for us to see him so happy. Thank you so much Colleen!”
“Madison was great with our 3 dogs! We have 2 Bullmastiffs and 1 Yorkie. She had to administer medicine to our smaller dog and had no problem doing so. She kept us updated and sent pics. I would definetly use her again.”
About: Brady (husband) and I are happy to host your loved ones in our home, fenced-in backyard, and walkable neighborhood. We love animals, the outdoors, and going for looooong walks. We have a few fur friends of our own and are excited to cuddle and work with all the dogs (and cats or birds or lizards!) we can. We really like to get acquainted with our clients and make sure your pet will be as happy as can be while under our care. Feel free to message me about any of our services even if you are just curious about how Rover works! We have a four-bedroom house with space dedicated explicitly to our clients and a large fenced-in backyard. We work on training, socialization, and activities with all of our fur friends. I work remotely and will lecture a few days on Baylor campus with a flexible schedule and Brady works from home. Animals in our care will never be left alone for more than 2 hours at time. Communication is also incredibly important to us. If you do not feel comfortable communicating using the Rover app or dummy number Rover has provided, we cannot provide service for you. Please provide as much information about your pets as possible so we know if we can provide the service you require. This is absolutely in the best interest of you and your loving fur friends. I have a remote job and am a college lecturer with a flexible schedule and my husband works from home. Very rarely will an animal be left for more than 1 hour at a time. Animals are allowed in an out all day. We have fenced areas to keep everyone separate if needed. Please specify if your dog will need extra space.
“Ida was great, she was very attentive to my furry family member. Ida kept me well informed of how everything was progressing and my dog overall. I could not have asked for more.”
About: With over 5 years of hands on experience in pet sitting, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My services go beyond basic feeding and whatever needs. I schedule my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I carefully plan my week to ensure I can give each pet individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize trust, safety, and routine. I start by reviewing any care instructions provided feeding schedules, medication, behavior notes, and emergency contacts so I can follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.
“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”
“Olivia did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs and home while I was out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of my dogs. When I returned home, I was amazed see my home had been cleaned and looked better than I left it. I will be using Olivia's services on future travels.”
“Jaydn was great for Buddy! We got tons of picture updates while we were away. She definitely cares about the pets she sits! Will absolutely rebook if we need to leave town again. It was great knowing that Buddy was in good hands!”
“Kim has become one of my FAVORITE people!! She absolutely cared for my pups just like we would (maybe better??!! Haha!!). We have a special pup that doesn’t care for new people too much, and she made her comfortable within minutes. Kim has a super sweet spirit, which is sensed by humans and animals alike. She also pays attention to detail better than most people I know, and never missed a beat on the instructions I left for her. You will not ever want anyone else to watch your fur babies again! I’m looking forward to the next time already!! ☺️”
“Dena is amazing, I cannot recommend her enough! She took great care of our home while we were away for a long trip and sent updates frequently so we enjoyed our vacation without worry. She took great care of our home, even brought in our mail and vacuumed so we came home to a dog-hair-free house. Our furbabies were spoiled & didn’t seem to miss us at all in her care! We will definitely be using her for any future needs, and you should too!!”
“McKenzie was great! She took everything in stride with our doggies and went above and beyond in caring for them. They took to her right away. She stayed at our house for several days and left all clean and in order. Will definitely ask her again as the need arises.”
About: I started my journey on rover over a year ago. Part of what encouraged me to get into pet sitting was my background. I grew up on farm so my family had a lot of room to foster cats and dogs. There were times we would have 6 dogs staying with us at once, each with their own funny quirks. I fell in love with getting know each of their personalities and taking care of them. Since starting rover I’ve worked with everything: reactive dogs, food aggressive, high energy, senior and disabled. It’s been a great experience getting to know all the dogs. I also have my own sweet puppy named Birdie. She loves interacting with all the clients that come to visit. I’ve had her since she was 2 weeks old and she’s always been a social butterfly. I’ve noticed she helps other dogs staying with us adjust to the environment quicker. She’s very high energy and is guaranteed to wear your pup out. My rates are higher for house sitting and boarding because I accept last minute clients. As for my schedule, I work a full time job and will be gone during normal hours. If your dog requires constant care the rate with go up to $250 a night and I will need at least 2 weeks notice to notify my job. Drop-In’s: For dogs I will not accept bookings that have less than 2 drop-in’s a day scheduled. This is because dogs become stressed when left alone too long and can become destructive. I also want to be able to check on them for health reasons. During the drop-in your dog will go on a walk that equal half the time of the drop-in you have booked (30 min drop-in = 15 minute walk). They will be fed and given water, and the rest of the drop-in will be spent playing inside. Their food bowls will be cleaned and water bowls refreshed. If there are any messes caused by the dog, those will be cleaned up as well. I do offer grooming (I will not do nails or teeth) for $30 extra. Photo’s will be provided at the end of each drop-in. Walks: Dogs will always be walked separately. It will be a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood, and then they will be given water before I leave. I do offer adventure hikes, where I will take your dog to a location of your choosing for a walk. This can include a trail, a public park, a lake, or just to a different neighborhood. There will be an extra charge for any reactivity or excessive pulling, this will come out to about $10 extra.
“Can’t say enough great things about Victoria. From the moment she met our dogs it was clear she cares a lot for dogs of all temperaments and can form an instant connection with them. We deeply appreciated the updates throughout our time away from home. Highly recommend!”
“Bianca took good care of our pups while we were away. She wasn’t able to stay overnight like we planned all nights but she made sure to care for our animals while away. Would recommend using for drop ins and overnights possibly.”
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs

FAQs for House Sitting - Rock Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rock Creek on Rover is $57.72 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 144 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rock Creek. 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 Rock Creek 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 Rock Creek 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 Rock Creek 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.
