“My pets love when Karen comes to stay! They get so much care and attention that I'm not sure they have time to miss us. I always come home to a clean house and happy pets. I highly recommend her!”
About: With 8 years of professional experience in pet boarding, grooming, and veterinary care, along with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and dedication to every pet I care for. Your furry family members will receive attentive, loving care from someone who understands their needs and treats them like family. ❤️ Pet care is something I genuinely love and make a priority in my daily routine. I organize my schedule around appointments to ensure each pet receives the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve. I value being dependable and flexible while maintaining a calm, safe, and loving environment for every furry family member in my care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. During potty breaks, I will stay outside with your dog and actively supervise them in the backyard. I will check gates and doors to help prevent escapes and ensure your pup stays safe and secure. During walks, I will keep your dog securely leashed, follow your instructions, and use safe handling practices to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. I will be mindful of our surroundings, avoid unfamiliar dogs and potentially unsafe situations, and watch for signs of stress, overheating, or fatigue. I will also respect your pet’s individual needs, follow any special care instructions you provide, and make sure I have the appropriate emergency contact information in case an unexpected situation arises. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. Your peace of mind matters to me, and I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is being treated with the same care and attention I would give my own. ❤️🐶🐱

“Trevor has been an incredible sitter for our dog, Odin. He communicates clearly and consistently, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind while we’re away. It’s obvious how much he genuinely cares for Odin, and that love and attention really show. We even had a small pet emergency while we were gone, and Trevor handled it quickly, calmly, and with so much care. We were incredibly grateful knowing Odin was in such capable hands. We feel so lucky to have found Trevor and couldn’t recommend him more highly. Knowing Odin is with someone who truly loves him makes all the difference.”

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 Schwertner 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 Schwertner 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Schwertner 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
