“This was my first time using Rover & I could not have had a better experience with Jillian. She came by to meet us ahead of the overnight stay and my dogs took to her immediately. Jillian is kind, caring & truly loves animals. It’s never easy leaving your pets with someone you don’t know but I felt very comfortable with Jillian knowing they were in good hands. My house was just as clean as when I left it and she even stayed longer than requested. I will absolutely book with Jillian again.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was a kid, and have cared for several senior dogs while their families were away in recent years. I’ve also house-sat for kitty families and multi-pet homes. Whether your pet has special requests or just needs some company, I’m excited to meet them! I’m a Park Ranger who works seasonally and I am currently in the off-season until March. Thus, I have a very open, flexible schedule for all your pet care needs. My approach is very thoughtful and considerate of your space and what you prefer your pet be allowed to do. Before entering anyone’s home, I like to check in with the home owner to ensure I’m aware of all rules and preferences so I can provide the excellent service you’re looking for while respecting your boundaries as well.
“Rich is very responsible, he took care of Shiraz in our home while we were away. He spent lots of time with Shiraz so that he wouldn’t have to be crated, we were very grateful for him.”
About: I have cared for and loved animals world wide- from pet sitting locally, providing food and water and kindness to strays along my travels, to volunteering at Australia Zoo. Since I was young, animals have always held a huge place in my heart. I would rescue farm kittens, dog walk and cat sit for neighbors, and swerve to avoid hitting a frog with my bike (and now my car). I’ve experienced many sides of pet care—from the fun and rewarding moments to the more difficult and unexpected ones. I’ve had the opportunity to shadow a friend during overnight emergency vet shifts, which gave me firsthand insight into how important it is to remain calm, observant, and attentive when an animal isn’t feeling well. Those experiences have helped me become an even more thoughtful and responsible caregiver and pet parent. My love for animals extends beyond our domesticated companions. I’ve also volunteered with wildlife rehabilitation and do what I can to help the wildlife in my own community. Whether caring for a beloved pet or offering comfort to an animal in need, I consider it a true honor to provide them with patience, kindness, and love. I am self employed as a Massage Therapist located in New Milford. I work Mondays-Fridays and typically start between 2/3:00pm and work until 8(ish). I work one Saturday a month and those hours vary- usually a 4 hour day. With owning my own business I can set my hours- when I have notice I can always schedule accordingly to the pet’s needs. When caring for my/your pet, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that means playful engagement, gentle companionship, or giving them space. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive medication as directed, and get plenty of attention and affection. I keep litter boxes and living areas clean, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate updates and photos to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and lots and lots of love.
“Jason was fantastic with my pups. He was aware of how to interact with them, seemed to enjoy walking them, feed them as directed and walked them as requested. I am very happy and pups seem to be also.”
“Gabbi was so very amazing! We were nervous to leave our dogs last minute but she was reassuring and also made them feel super comfortable. I could tell in the pictures she sent and when we got home that our dogs were very happy with her. Thank you Gabbi!”

“Cotter (John) was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog from 9/19–9/21! He was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such great hands. Cotter was also excellent with communication and kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. His experience as a sitter is extensive, and it shows in his level of care! When we returned home, the house was absolutely perfect; everything was clean and well cared for. We would highly recommend Cotter and will definitely use him again!”
“Kat was amazing and very accommodating to our needs. She asked a lot of questions about the dogs needs before the sit and kept in communication She took care of four dogs, including a small puppy and sent lots of pictures. All of the dogs seemed happy and it worked out great. Kat cleaned up really nice and even washed the linens that she used so I didn’t have to do that when we come back.”
About: I've been taking care of my own dog since we first got her 7 years ago, and I also used to volunteer at the New Milford Animal Shelter. My family fosters animals (both cats and dogs) from Because 4 Paws in New Milford, so I have some basic experience with administering medicines and helping others administer medicines. I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.
“Courtney is great. She took great care of all of my pups and was incredibly communicative throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Courtney to anyone who wants to leave their dogs in good hands.”
“God/Goddess thank you for Katie & her hubby too. Quilly was so so happy in the pictures and when I came home. Incredibly trustworthy and friendly lady (neighborly too! ) to care for pup.”
About: I have raised and trained my own dog since he was a puppy, 5 years now! Patient, reliable, and I treat every pup like family. My schedule is very flexible. I know what it is like to need a reliable and trustworthy sitter to take care of your pets needs. I know how stressful finding a sitter is, so I treat your space with care, follow your routine, keep things safe and calm, and send photo and video updates!
“We had a great experience with Lora! In the past, we have always boarded our dog, but she has some issues with anxiety and during our meet and greet with Lora, she suggested that house sitting might help ease some of Bella's stress around being left with a sitter. She was totally right! Bella had a wonderful time and was so much more comfortable being in her own space. Lora was respectful of our home, sent regular updates/pictures, and we would love to have her watch Bella again the next time we go out of town.”
“5 stars!! Thank you Alina for taking care of our French Bulldog, Cooper. Alina provided lots of updates with photos and videos, was super flexible, and I could tell Cooper was having a great time - I think he has a new best friend. We are normally quite anxious about leaving Coops but we felt totally relaxed knowing he was in great hands. Not only this but Alina left the apartment immaculate which was lovely to return home to after travelling. We will certainly be asking Alina to look after Coopie again. Thank you!”
“Steve, is a lovely person who was the absolute best with our boy Willow. Very attentive to a very playful pup. We are grateful to Steve for the peace of mind he gave us with his regular updates and photos of Willow, he deserves more than 5 stars ⭐️. I highly recommend him. Thanks again Steve.”
“Thank you again Christine for taking such amazing care of our extended fur family. We are so grateful to you and appreciate your kindness and flexibility.”
“Allie was great! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of all my dogs. She truly went above and beyond in every sense to make sure my dogs were well cared for and was attentive to every little detail. I would absolutely recommend Allie to anyone. I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”
“Pauline is always so excellent with my pups. She has great communication and I feel reassured that my two pups are well taken care of. She has great attention to detail and is consistently reliable.”
About: I am passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually

Jessica was AMAZING! We needed help last minute and she went above and beyond. She treated our dogs like they were her own. She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates. She even let our dogs sleep with her like they do with us! From the initial meet and greet our dogs absolutely fell in with her. We have had MANY dog sitters over the years but I cannot remember ever feeling this comfortable this quickly. I am already looking forward to having her stay with the pups again!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sherman is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $36 per night.

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 Sherman 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 Sherman 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 Sherman 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sherman. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
