“Hannah sat for our 3 dogs on short notice. So appreciative for her! Super sweet, active with our pups and kept us updated with pics and messages. Will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello, I have been raised with and cared for dog almost my entire life. I have had friends and family rely on me for dog care for periods of time. I am currently a PhD student at Texas Tech studying animal science. I also have dog of my own I love and care for. I love to take my dog on walks and play fetch in the evenings and during the day on weekends. I can care for your animal at your home and take care of all needs. I do not keep other pets at my home, but I can take your pet on walks and play outside of owners house.
About: We love iur 4 legged babies and treat them like family members. We have threebabies and they are spoiled rotten. I make homemade treats for them which they get a morning and nite time treat. We gave a feeding schedule which is 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. They all sleep with us and settle in with us for tv time in the evening. . One of our girls even has a car seat because she loves going with me when u can take her. As u can see like I said earlier we live dogs. I would have more if I had room and lots if land.. we donate when we can to the spca. Anyone u ask would tell u that we are great with animals and trust us with their fur babies. I am retired and have no children living at home. I love animals and treat them like family. I’m also available to set with your babies at your home or mine. I try to have a set schedule for walking. Playing. Feeding and rest times. I believe all pets need lots of love and attention. I request proof of vaccinations. The dogs will never be left alone.

Every time I get home they are like hey nice to have you back but umm don't you need to take another trip? Jennifer I'm sure would watch us.”
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years, From puppies to senior dogs I’m experienced in all stages. I can help keep up with puppy training or administer any medicines a fur baby might need. Rover helps me earn extra income while in school. It allows me to be flexible with other work schedules and clients as well. Being flexible with my time makes me appealing as a sitter. I have two dogs of my own with severe anxiety and abandonment issues, I know how to work with dogs of all kinds of social attributes.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“We hired Heather to housesit and watch our two dogs for two nights. She was a dream to work with! She left my home how we left it; frankly I couldn’t even tell anyone was there. She was very respectful of my house rules & my dog care preferences. Heather was punctual, respectful and has great communication. Our pups clearly enjoyed her presence and also, they loved staying home and not going to a traditional boarding situation which was huge for us. We have a large breed #110 dog and a #6 dog which she handled both with ease. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've been taking care of cats since I was young and I've had several cats since age 6. As for dogs I never owned my own dog but there were always dogs in the family that I helped take care of along with dogs of my friends. Right now I am trying to find a job and I'm looking for fully remotes so my schedule is pretty open and I can do it pretty much all day. For in home or in your home I make sure that they're fed and they get plenty of water throughout the day so that generally means checking at least three or four times to make sure they have what they need. Then giving them plenty of stimulation so they're not bored and that's done through toys and chasing and just taking them out for fun adventures
“Kassandra was great! When initially meeting my pups, she took the time to ask questions and let them get to know her. While sitting, she sent some great photos of my much missed pups and was a great communicator! Definitely would recommend!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 4-5 years. Dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my church family and friends, I really enjoy it. I also have a fur baby of my own. I love him so much, and he is so spoiled, like any animal should be! I’m not really busy other than running maybe a few errands. I will be able to stay and play with your fur baby’s most of the day and all night. I have a spacious backyard where they can run and play. I do have 1 dog, golden retriever- he’s super sweet and friendly. Although, I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Kimberly was the best we have had since using Rover! She kept us well informed and took great care of our fur baby which can sometimes be difficult with the different medications she has to take, we hope Kimberly will be available for the next time we need a pet sitter but if she’s not I can see why since she’s so good with at what she does!”
About: Caring for animals is my passion, and I have been providing dedicated pet care for over 10 years. I prioritize the comfort and happiness of every pet, treating them as if they were my own, and ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I manage the needs of high-energy breeds with active play and outings, maintain a clean and secure environment, and am vigilant in observing any signs of distress or health changes. I am CPR and First Aid trained. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and always have emergency contact information readily available. Witnessing their unique personalities and helping shy pets feel comfortable brings me joy. My kindness and empathy make me a great fit for caring for your beloved companions.

Date night, work, sleep, jus need a break I’m here to help with your pets and would love the opportunity. Fenced in yard, treats and food , safe and clean house, plenty of toys and treats and care and anything extra they may need. Thanks
About: Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a lifelong pet person and the full-time caregiver for our own crew of four dogs and three cats — including two seniors (10 and 11), a French Bulldog, a very busy puppy, and a Bengal cat. Caring for animals isn't a side gig for me; it's my every day. I give medications on schedule, follow feeding routines to the letter, do vet runs when needed, and I've handled post-surgery care at home — cone duty, wound checks, keeping a healing dog calm and comfortable. I know French Bulldogs and other flat-faced breeds need extra care in Texas heat, and I know senior pets need patience, routine, and a soft voice. When I house sit, your home is treated with respect and your pets keep their normal routine in their own space — usually less stressful for them than boarding. You'll get photo updates every day, because I know exactly how much it helps to see your babies doing fine while you're away. I'm based in Arlington and especially love holiday stays and longer sits. Message me — I reply fast, and I'm happy to answer questions or set up a meet-and-greet. Hi everyone Im Melanie,, I'm new here trying to get established. First and foremost I love animals always have and they are special and I cherish all of them. I believe each one is unique and special. I am former military so I am detail oriented discipline but yet also kind and caring I'm new here trying to get establish as well. You may ask me any information you would like to know about me at ring questions you have I'll be happy to answer My rates are flexible the ones you see on here are not set in stone I am definitely willing to negotiate. Especially for first-time clients. I'm willing to do overnights long-term or short-term drop-ins walks or anything else you might need around the house as well. I'm relatively flexible with a schedule. As long as I'm giving the details of times and dates that are needed and what is expected of me. I more than happy did you overnights extended stays or just check-ins every now and then. Long-term short-term it doesn't matter as long as we're both on the same page it's great. I would treat all in any animals and pets that are in my care like they are my own. In my own house I make sure my pets are loved cared for safe drive warm and happy. I'm also very great with any special needs you might have with a particular pet such as anxiety medication or any disability they may have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,209 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sand Flat. 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 Sand Flat 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 Sand Flat 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 Sand Flat 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.
