“Sierra was an absolute angel! I’m a bit of a helicopter mom when leaving out of town due to our dog having epilepsy but she was nothing short of amazing! She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. Will be booking for future trips!”
“Caitlin was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and house! She was the right level of communicative and sent us great pictures of the dogs. She also went above and beyond with grooming help for one dog that had a stomach issue. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for them became second nature. My favorites have always been dogs and cats. We always seemed to have a new litter of kittens around, and I naturally became the one who spent the most time with them. Whether it was feeding them, playing with them, or helping them grow into confident, loving cats, I loved every minute of it. That lifelong experience has taught me that every pet has their own personality and needs. I provide patient, dependable care and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful kitten, or a senior who needs a little extra attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I do work full time; however, I have set days off. The hours I work are spread throughout the day, but with enough notice, I can plan accordingly. I am flexible. When your pet is in my care, I treat them like one of my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and active time. Whether that's going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, or simply spending quality time together. I'm attentive to all of their daily needs, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines you have in place. I know pets feel most comfortable with consistency, so I'll do everything I can to help them feel safe and secure, especially in the place they know best. Their home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving the same care, affection, and respect that I would give my own.
“Kimmie is always my go to person. This time she had some issues with one of our pets getting sick. The directions we left her were confusing so she called us. I always appreciate receiving a call from Kimmie, especially to let me know one of our pets was sick. We cleared up the medication instructions and when I got home my pet was well on the way back to health. Thank you Kimmie for being so responsive and calling me.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t live without them. My specialty is caring for senior (7+yrs old) dogs but I love all ages. I’m currently retired and very flexible with scheduling. I have volunteered regularly at a senior dog sanctuary for 5 years to onboard and train new volunteers in the care and comfort of its 4-legged residents. I have a fenced yard and only one small dog friendly Yorkie in residence. I used to work for a Christian ministry so very trustworthy.
“Fantastic!!! We never worry when we’re away because Debbie takes such great care of our sweet Janey. We receive lots of photos and updates and her side is never left. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Elle did a great job of taking care of my dog, Luke, while we were away on vacation. She was fantastic about sending pictures and videos daily. She follows instructions and communicates well. My dog gets anxious during storms and she comforted him and made sure he was okay. I would highly recommend Elle for your pets!”
About: Hello, my name is Elise (I go by my middle name) and I cannot wait to meet you and your pets! I am a trusted nurse and animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and poultry. Whether you have house pets or farm livestock, I provide attentive, loving care so you can travel with peace of mind. I am a proud pet parent to a French Bulldog and 14 backyard chickens. They are all spoiled and very loved! I know how important it is to monitor and care for brachiocephalic breeds during the Texas heat. I will be happy to care for other livestock after a quick training session during our meet-and-greet. My goal is to ensure that your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so please don't hesitate to reach out with any and all requests. I will do my best to accommodate! I am happy to accommodate special diets, medication schedules, or specific routines for your pets. I am an excellent communicator and can provide texts and pictures during each visit to give you peace of mind that your pet is happy and healthy.
“The best dog sitter!! Darla has truly saved us this last month with all the travel we have had to do. She is so responsive and I know our dog was in great hands! Our flight was majorly delayed and she stayed extra time to make sure he was cared for. Our house is always clean, she sends us tons of pictures and videos, and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“Katelyn and her daughter provided great care to our 7 month old Cocker Spaniel. She sent updates and pics throughout the night. Our pup seemed very happy and safe with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Catherine was fantastic. She took great care of my cats, gave frequent detailed updates, and so many photos. Very accommodating and great communication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!!”
“What a great and kind pet sitter. She communicated with us very well. Went out of her way for us and took care of our home while we were away. Most importantly it Did loved her. Highly recommend! We will be rebooking with her”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Grace is wonderful! Heigh professional level that you can trust! Grace stayed in my home for 15 days and always in touch, showing my pets. My home and my pets were very looked after, with lots of care and attention. Grace took care of everything as if it were her home and her pets. Im so thankful that I found her! I highly recommend!”
“Irving was fabulous. We are RV'ing here in Texas for our granddaughters HS graduation and two weeks ago, lost our oldest dog, Maverick. Oliver, our five month old puppy hasn't been alone since his passing and we were concerned leaving him alone during the graduation ceremony. Irving was a last minute booking and we are so grateful he accepted our request. I couldnt be more pleased. Thank you Irving.”

Jacqueline did a great job watching our two mini golden doodles for four nights at our house. One of our dogs had an ear issue and she took her to the vet to get treated. Lots of nice pics showing the dogs having a fun time on walks and in the back yard. Thank you for caring so well for our furry babies!
Micah was absolutely an answered prayer!! We have an annual family beach trip, and we needed someone to watch our sweet pup. We tried a daycare place which got him sick both times, and I was on the verge of canceling our trip because we were running out of time. Then I decided to check out Rover for the first time and came across Micah. From the very beginning, she was quick to communicate and full of positivity. Within a week of our trip we were able to meet her and get everything set up. She truly went above and beyond!! She sent multiple photos, video updates, and texts throughout each day to fill me in on how our little guy was doing. The peace of mind she gave us was much needed as this was our first trip away from Rook. We came home to a clean house, clean sheets, and one VERY happy (and tired) pup! She even worked with him on some training! If I could leave 10 stars, I would. We are SO grateful for her, for everything she did to take care of our little dude and for holding down the fort at home while we were away. Micah is amazing, and we will definitely be calling her the next time we have a trip that we can’t bring Rook on. THANK YOU!!! 🫶🏻
Ren was reliable and took great care of my pup, as well as the house. It's no wonder the team has great reviews and so many repeat bookings. I'm grateful...she got my kiddo through a severe storm, too, and Roo is afraid of storms. I had no worries. She was responsive, yet didn't overly communicate as I've had with other sitters.
Erica was amazing! She looked after our pitbull mix Draco. She came and met him before to make sure he was ok with her. She was very kind, sat down and let him come to her. You could tell she had experience with dogs. She checked in on him and fed him throughout the day and sent regular pictures and even video. She was very responsive to my questions and made me feel at ease. We appreciate her giving him a chance and taking such good care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Serenada
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Serenada on Rover is $49.19 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,097 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Serenada. 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 Serenada 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 Serenada 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 Serenada 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 Serenada. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
