“She was amazing, she took my baby to get her puppy cup and also sent pictures throughout the day. My baby is quite shy and she was really patient with her 💕 I'll definitely recommend Katherine and I'll be booking again.”
About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.
“After coming back from a week long trip, we found our pets happy and not stressed. Victoria stayed at our house and gave our pets the attention they needed. This has given us a peace of mind!”
“Isabella took care of my cat for 5 days, and both she and her partner were incredibly kind, polite, and flexible. Whenever I asked, they sent me photos and videos of my cat and kept me updated about how he was doing. Thanks to them, I felt much more relaxed and comfortable while I was away from my little cat. I truly appreciate their care and support.”
“Dominique did an amazing job with Johnny! She was very communicative and made sure I knew about all the adventures she and Johnny went on. She was very attentive to Johnny’s care, and I definitely felt at ease knowing she was there to sit with him, play with him, and enjoy his goofy personality. Highly recommend and will absolutely rebook!”
“Tatum is so amazing! She took really great care of our rambunctious 6 month old aussie and we could see how happy our pup was in all of the photos and videos Tatum has updated us with. Not only that but she also left our place sparkling clean which made us appreciate her that much more. Tatum is the best dog sitter we’ve had and I’d 100% recommend her services!”
“This was Courtney's first time to sit for me. She was very attentive to my babies and sent me photos on a daily basis. I appreciate her care and we'll be using her in the future!”
“Shayla is probably one of the best sitters we’ve had in a long time. Attentive, communicative, respectful and caring! Samson and Dotty were truly spoiled with her here and I know they were very happy with all the attention from their new friend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember—starting at just 10 years old with our family pets. Growing up in a home with 7 dogs and 1 cat has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, needs, and care routines. I’ve helped raise puppies from their earliest stages all the way into adulthood. Because of this, I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more relaxed and routine-oriented, I’m confident in my ability to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full-time teacher, which means I have a structured and dependable schedule throughout the school year (Unavailable from 7am-4pm). During the summer months, I do not work, so I have much more flexibility and availability. I’m available during weekdays and Saturdays to provide any pet care assistance you may need, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pets are well taken care of. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications if needed, and preferred exercise routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their individual personalities and energy levels.
“She did great with my dog and followed the instructions I left perfectly. I loved that she sent pictures everyday with updates at least twice a day. Will be booking again if needed.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs throughout my life. When family friends have gone out of town I have watched their dog or their cat along with taking care of my dogs and cat. Pet care fits into my week well as I have the time to stop by during lunch and the late afternoon to walk, feed, or take care of a pet especially on weekends. I feed my pets, walk them, play and spend time with them, and I protect them at all costs no matter what. I make sure to spend time with them daily as they are a part of the family.
About: I take care of your dog(s) needs such as providing daily check ins, fun playtime sessions, walks, potty breaks & ensuring the fulfillment of food resources is maintained. I am currently working a part time job at the moment. This makes it to where I do have the availability to check in with your pet(s). I care for your pets needs from the comfort of their own homes. Safety & top notch care is always a priority to me in order to provide a comfortable environment.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for 18 years from small to large animals! I grew up on ranches and was raised around all kinds of animals!Neighbors and friends have relied on me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets! I’m a Texas Tech student majoring in Animal Science! I also work part time at Raising Canes! I’m available every week and weekend! I do work late nights on Friday and Saturdays! All my classes are done by 1pm, except Monday's, which are done by 4:30! I have a fenced in backyard, and i currently own 1 dog which is a border collie! I live on 10 acres as well! I have crates so I can easily crate your pets if needed!
“David was great with Lily. The fact that she ate while we were gone is always a good sign. He sent a few pictures and videos as well which made us feel good about leaving Lily in our home.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Shallowater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 252 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shallowater. 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 Shallowater 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 Shallowater 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 Shallowater 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.

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.
