“The girls were great, they cleaned up after themselves, including washing and folding their towels. Our dogs are pretty codependent and so they had to cuddle with them most of the time. It appears they followed the directions for feeding and medication’s. We will definitely use them in the future again.”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends for 10 years now. I love to spoil your babies, and treat them like my own family. My grandpup enjoys home made treats and pup ice cream. I have taken care of several animals over the years, including horses, cows, chickens, dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs. I am looking forward to being a Foster Mom to some Bassett hounds in the near future. I am comfortable giving medication to your dog or cat, I was a paramedic for 25 years, so I am comfortable giving injections and IV's. I have had older dogs with special needs, so know how to care for your family member. I have references available upon request. Let me know when I get to meet a new friend. Your fur babies are safe with me.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 7 years and have always had a genuine love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m experienced with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet receives the love and attention they deserve. I’m also happy to work with owners to accommodate their pets’ specific routines and needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs and always make sure they’re in a clean, comfortable, and secure environment. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi I’m Hayley! I’ve been a compassionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs. My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else while traveling, so that is why high quality attention and care is my priority. I like to keep you updated, sending plenty of photos and always communicating. I’m available for house-sits, drop in visits for cats as well as in home boarding for dogs. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule. Whether you have a younger high energy dog who needs lots of playtime and walks and exercise, or you have a senior dog who likes to cuddle and lounge around on the couch I’m here for you! I’m currently working part time so I do have plenty of time to play, take care of, and give attention to your doggies! A typical day if you’re boarding your dog at our house would be outdoor time first thing in the morning, breakfast, nap time, a walk late morning or evening depending on the Texas heat, relaxing inside, dinner, more outdoor time, play time, cuddles and bed. If you’ll be boarding at our home, we have a house that is set up perfectly for dogs and a large fenced in backyard for them to run and play safely. Someone is always out there with them whether it’s me or my husband Nathan. They get plenty of attention in our home since we are home all day.

I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.

“So many great things to say about Krista! I’m a high maintenance dog mom and she accommodated all my requests. My foster dog, Susie, is spicy and Krista handled her perfectly. Gave her space and let Susie come to her. We don’t leave our dogs more than 5-6 hours and we were so lucky Krista was able to keep the dog’s routine. She gave regular updates and left the house clean and tidy. This was our first trip in years and Krista gave me peace of mind being away from my babies.”

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with small dogs, and over the years I've lived with and cared for cats and medium to large dogs owned by family, roommates, and neighbors. Today I own two cats and regularly watch friends' pets when they travel. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and I treat every pet in my care the way I'd want mine treated. I currently work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm able to visit at consistent times for feedings, walks, and playtime, and I'm flexible enough to adjust visit times if a pet needs extra attention or a different routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines and rules as closely as possible so the pet's environment stays familiar and low-stress. I always confirm entry/exit procedures, secure doors and gates behind me, and check that food, water, and litter are addressed on schedule. I treat each home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I stay attentive to a pet's body language and comfort level throughout each visit, always reaching out to the owner if anything seems off.

About: Hey there. Thanks for visiting my profile! I joined Rover in 2016 and have since built experience working with personal clients. In 2026, I’m transitioning into full time pet sitting with a focus on reliable, in home care. My primary service is overnight house sitting, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own environment while maintaining their normal routines. In the past, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and select farm animals. Monday - Friday I work a limited schedule between the hours of 7am - 1pm and am otherwise available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Every 12 hrs I provide regular updates with photos and maintain a clean, respectful environment throughout each stay. I’m perfect for pets that aren’t able to be boarded (intact males, farm animals, exotics, etc.) or anxious babes who need company throughout the day as I spend most of my time on property. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to caring for your pets. ~Brilla Overnight care includes a consistent presence in your home. I may step out for up to 8 hours within a 24hr period, with all care scheduled around your pet’s routine. My weekday availability is afternoons and evenings due to morning shifts; weekends can fill up quickly. 24/7 care is available for an additional charge. I provide thoughtful updates with photos and videos, and maintain a clean, respectful home environment. Maintaining your home exactly as preferred is a priority for me. Communication preferences are always tailored to you individually.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 3,105 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockne. 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 Rockne 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 Rockne 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 Rockne 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 Rockne. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
