“Taylor was great! She was very communicative and our dogs loved having her! She sent pictures of her visit which gave us huge peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.
“Enya did a great job with my cat Buster. He was doing very well when we got home from vacation. She sent photos and communicated well while we were gone. I would use her again and recommend her to others.”
“I was so pleased with Tania, would I book her again absolutely. I probably have to leave Kittycat no more than twice a year and so she is not use to having a person she doesn’t know live in her house, but Tania loved her and took care of her so well the pictures that Tania sent showed how Kittycat was completely comfortable and well looked after. Thank you again Tania.”
“I don't have enough words to express how great Carrice is!!! Carrice was seriously amazing with my boy Otis. He’s a recent rescue and still has some house training issues, so leaving him with someone new was EXTREMELY nerve wracking for me, especially because me and him are still getting to know each other too. She made me feel so much better the entire time by constantly keeping me updated, sending me pics + vids, and letting me know how he was doing. She was so patient and understanding with his accidents and just really kind to him in general. He got so much love and attention, and she even taught him how to sit!! She also kept my house super clean while I was gone, which I didn’t even ask her to do, and I appreciated that so much, especially because I wasn’t feeling well when I got back. She’s honestly just a really great person - very patient, thoughtful, understanding, and communicative. I could tell Otis was really cared for and that meant a lot to me. I’d absolutely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone!! (:”
“Flor was the sweetest thing and is just so great with dogs. I have a big one too and she handled it so well. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. We both enjoyed her company.”

About: I’ve had animals since I was 10 years old ranging from, dogs, fish, cats, chickens all kinds. I would love to take care of your fur babies and help you out! I can walk any animal weekdays after 6 pm and on the weekends, I can house animals throughout the week but I do have a 9-6 so they will be alone with my own animals during the day except on the weekends I will devote all the special time each animal needs whether that is giving extra play time for the higher energy walks or extra couch time for those home bodies. I have a big backyard completely fenced in.
About: I've worked in a doggy day care years ago, working with different breeds and dogs with different personalities. Helped train puppies and loved on senior pets. Since that job I have helped care for friends and families pets. Its always a treat to have little fur friends come over!! I am a business owner, redoing furniture and reselling vintage clothes. Writing my own schedule allows me to create time for another revenue stream to my brand TenderLovinKaren I have a fenced in yard and a large fenced in park right down the street. I love to go on hikes and if your dogs like to get out and explore I think they would enjoy staying with myself. I also enjoying lounging and cuddling up on the couch, and so if your dog is more into that vibe, I am good with that too.
“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!”
“Luke had the best experience, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful from start to finish, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Luke was genuinely cared for and not just watched. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I would absolutely trust David again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional.”
“Karla came by for a meet and greet after I booked her last minute, and my dogs immediately ran to her! She showed them so much love and made them feel comfortable right away. She took the time to listen to everything I shared about their routines and needs, was very flexible, and sent photos throughout her stay. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Karla again! 🐾💕”
“Natalie did such an amazing job taking care of my furbabies! Seriously, I can't recommend Natalie enough when it comes to entrusting someone with your beloved animals. You won't regret it, trust me! Without a doubt, I'll be reaching out to Natalie again for any future pet-sitting needs.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Scurry
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 819 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scurry. 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 Scurry 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 Scurry 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 Scurry 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.
