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!!!

Madison did a great job! Our cats are shy and because she stayed at the house they got more comfortable with her. She fed fish and misted the snake cage, too. Definitely recommend!

We loved having Briana watch our two cats while we were away. We were out of town for about 6 days and she updated us with pictures all throughout. I could tell our cats loved her. She’s very communicative and professional and the house was spotless when we came home. She even left the some treats and toys and a nice card for the cats. I couldn’t imagine a better experience. I will absolutely hire Briana again to watch our cats and feel the most comfortable with her taking care of our boys.

About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I'm trying to find someone who needs help taking care of their pets! I love animals and would love to spend time with your furbabies. I enjoy taking walks and having company with me would make the walks so much more exciting. Plus, everyone involved gets some exercise! I have experience taking care of dogs and cats and I am available for short notice care. Thank you and have a wonderful day! I will be available most days unless I already have something scheduled. Please message me and I will see if I can accommodate you. I am available to help with your animals on most days, as long as I do not have a prior engagement. Let me know what you need because I can be flexible with my schedule. At this time, I don't provide care in my home. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and checking in on either cats or dogs.

About: I don’t just pet‑sit — I love on your animals like they’re part of my own little pack. From belly rubs to long walks and cozy snuggles, your fur babies get all the care, attention, and heart they deserve. Kittens/Puppies/Elder/Special Needs Animals Morning: I start the day with your cat — breakfast, fresh water, gentle snuggles, and a little playtime to ease into the day. I check in on their mood, energy level, and any special needs so the rest of the day stays centered around them. Midday: I’m home for the most of the day, keeping your cat company, offering enrichment, supervising any outdoor time they enjoy, and maintaining their routine. If your cat is comfortable and settled, I may step out for essential errands, always making sure their needs are fully met before I leave and right when I return. Afternoon: More focused attention — play sessions, quiet companionship, grooming if they enjoy it, or simply being nearby so they feel safe and supported. Their comfort guides the pace of the day. Evening: Dinner, cozy wind‑down time, and extra affection. I stay home to ensure they feel secure, relaxed, and cared for as they settle in for the night. A day in my care is all about your cat — snuggles when they want closeness, playful moments to spark joy, supervised outdoor time for safe exploring, gentle walks or calming car rides if they enjoy them, and a routine built entirely around their needs. Whether they’re nursing, growing, aging, or require special attention, I make sure every moment feels comforting, enriching, and full of love.

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

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I care for. I have experience with all kinds of pups—from playful puppies who need structure and gentle training to sweet senior dogs who need extra comfort, calm, and medication support. I always aim to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels at home. I treat every dog like family, and I’m committed to keeping their routines, personalities, and special needs top of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine! I recently graduated with a degree in psychology and while I’m exploring full-time job opportunities, I have a flexible schedule. I help my parents with their restaurant business, but most of my days are open—so I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and care they need without rushing. Spending time with pets is something I truly enjoy, and it adds joy and balance to my week! I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their own environment. I’m very respectful of each client’s space and routines, and I always follow care instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medication and playtime. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, consistent care I provide. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, and I always tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just quiet cuddles, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have two cats of my own. Every day includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and making sure my cat is happy and healthy. I also make time throughout the day to give pets attention, exercise, and lots of love. My work schedule allows me to plan ahead so I can provide dependable care and stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide loving care by following each pet’s routine, offering playtime, meals, and cuddles, while keeping their space clean and comfortable, whether at home or theirs.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ross

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 141 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ross. 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 Ross 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 Ross 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 Ross 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ross. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
