“Jessica did a super job with Casper. She worked with him do to his back leg problem, to make sure he got out side to play and potty. Jessica keep the house neat and clean up after herself and Casper. I will definitely use Jessica again.”
“Ashley stayed at our house for a week over Thanksgiving and took care of our 3 dogs, barn cats and large animals (cows and donkeys). She communicated with us daily and sent pictures. Took care of our deliveries, etc. I highly recommend her! She treated them like family, and I think they liked her so much that I may have even sensed a bit of disappointment in them when we got home! :D”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.
About: I am currently employed as a pet sitter, taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. Responsible for entering people's homes and ensuring the proper care of their pets. Trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs. Also providing in home boarding for your convenience! I am pursuing this as a full time gig! I love animals and enjoy being outdoors and bringing smiles to their faces! I know we all have busy schedules, so let me be the one to come and interact with them while you are busy! I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs, two cats that will be staying upstairs and put away for safety of all! Daily photo updates are a promise!
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Makaehla was absolutely incredible while we were away. She stayed at our house and loved on Raven and Rasco like they were her own. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which says everything about how well she takes care of both pets and home. She went above and beyond, communicated perfectly, and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Great sitter, our girl just fell in love with her and even would look to see if would return after she left. We will surely use her again as she took great care with Mitzi's special needs and gave her the attention she wanted. AAA+”
“Hilary kept in communication with me up to the days she stayed overnight with my three dogs. She made sure she understood my expectations and sent pictures the pups daily. I will use her services again and highly recommend her services.”
“We could not have asked for a better person to stay at our home and care for our “kids”. Bella and Opie were both so comfortable with Robin from first visit. We received daily pictures and videos of them and could see they were very happy and being taken care of. Not only did Robin care for our pets as her own, she also cared for our home as her own. There were so issues with our AC unit and she handled it, including having a repair technician come in. Cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% be using her again in the future!!”
“If I could give Madchen a rating higher than a 5 I most definately would. She was terrific. I booked her for a week, to stay in my home to take care of my 2 French Bulldogs. She came out and met me, my dogs and saw where she'd be staying. A week before our trip she checked in to see that we were still planning for her to stay and the day we had to leave she was not only on time, but a little early. She stayed in touch with us while we were away and sent us pictures of the dogs which helped us to relax when we saw they had taken to her quite fondly. She was respectful of my home and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I would definately ask her to care for my dogs again and I would highly recommend that others use her too. On top of it all, she's just an all around nice person.”
“Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter. She took such good care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for about 5 days. We got tons of video and picture updates, and she also helped out with a few things around the house. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or care for their pets.”
“We booked Kayla on very short notice to house/pet sit for us for eight days while we were on vacation. Kayla was very responsive and professional from the first interaction. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. It was clear that Charley had taken to her very well, which has not always been the case with pet sitters. We arrived home to a well-kept house and a happy pet. We highly recommend Kayla and will call her first the next time Charley needs someone to keep her company.”
“Megan was AMAZING! She went above and beyond while taking care of our sweet boys and the house. We had a family emergency that meant leaving town last minute and it was such a weight off our shoulders knowing that our dogs were being cared for!! HIGHLY recommend booking with Megan- Thank you again!! ❤️”
“If you are looking for an overnight house/dog sitter for an anxious pup, Jaymi is the sitter for you! She was so great with sending us pictures and updates!!! She even set our trash and recycling bin to the burb for us while we were out of town! She is friendly and sweet and we know that our Freya couldn't have asked for better sitter while we were gone. Thank you so much Jaymi!”
About: I provide care for all types of pets! (Dogs, cats, fish, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, etc.) I have a certification to administer CPR for dogs and cats, valid until November 2027. I was trained in 2015 for dog safety and care, prior to working at a dog park I have 3 years of experience caring for an elderly dog with dementia and several years of experience caring for blind dogs. I spent two years caring for an elderly dog (cataracts), and a younger dog since 2021 (pannus) I have 5 years of experience with puppy care and training. I require a command word list prior to caring for puppies to ensure the dog is not confused and the training process is not subverted I have cared for horses, donkeys, goats, and chickens since 2006. I am comfortable feeding farm animals, and I can groom horses for an additional fee. In-person meet and greets are required prior to an initial booking for farm animals I have very little experience caring for birds, snakes, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I will gladly assist with caring for your small mammals, birds, and reptiles. I just ask that we have an in-person meet and greet beforehand to ensure I provide proper care I currently own a cat, 2 dogs, fish, and chickens I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. I offer same day bookings to ensure all pets are taken care of, especially something unexpected pops up and your pet needs someone to stop by and make sure all of their needs are met I am CPR certified for canines and felines through the RECOVER Initiative, which is recognized by ACVECC (American College of Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care) and VECCS (Veterinary Emergency Critical Care Society). My CPR certification is valid until November 2027 I prefer all clients provide a command word list when booking, to ensure I'm speaking your pet's lingo. A command word list is required for dogs under the age of 12 months. As dogs are still in the training process, commands must be consistent to prevent issues Please advise if there are any triggers for your pets, such as areas they don't like to be pet, reactive behaviors or tense situations your pet has experienced so I can ensure to assist your pet in avoiding an environment they deem stressful or dangerous (Examples: other dogs, cats, wild animals, cars, lawn equipment, people wearing hats, etc.)

“Sherri was amazing! She went above and beyond for the week we needed her! One of our pups is delicate and needed extra care. She took such good care of them both. Even made bone broth for them which they love! She had visits with my mother who is 91 and also lives on the property. This was nice for mom to know someone was there if she needed help. We received frequent messages and pictures of the pups. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. I highly recommend Sherri to pet sit. She even fed the fish! She is a good person and will love your pets well. You will not have a worry.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Scobee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scobee. 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 Scobee 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 Scobee 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 Scobee 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 Scobee. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
