“Perri took excellent care of our 3 pups during a 5 day vacation. We received many photos, videos and updates throughout the stay and we were able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest knowing the pups were getting care, exercise and love while we were away. If Perri can handle our 3 dogs, no job is too big for her!”
“Ava and Eve did a great job taking care of the Pups. They were both happy campers and well rested on our return. They also took care of our house and watered plants. We couldn't ask for better sitters, thanks very much.”
“Lawton is awesome!! She sent great updates with photos and videos, was so easy to communicate with especially with me changing some times to take care of our dogs! She left our house clean and cared for and is just a sweet soul. We will for sure be using her again to care for our sweet fur babes!🫶”
“Bennett did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while my family was on vacation. He bonded with both of them and helped them be comfortable while we were gone. I will definitely ask Bennett to watch my dogs again.”
“Emma was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our Goldendoodle, Hank, while we were away. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond by watering my flowers and bringing in our packages without us even asking. It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant so much to us. Hank was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved his time with Emma. We would absolutely trust her with Hank again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter! 🐾💕”
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
“Adriannne was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and our home, while we were away for a week on a trip. She followed all of our instructions for care. She was reliable and communicated quickly and frequently with us before and during our trip. We have a cat and three dogs, including a high-energy 110 pound lab, and Adrianne took great care of all of them. Adrianne demonstrated that she has the expertise and experience with how to manage a variety of pets and dog breeds and personalities. We returned to a very clean home and very happy and healthy pets. We will definitely reach out to Adrianne again next time we take a trip.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Katie while she cared for our dog Gary and cat Barley during a 2-night trip. She stayed at our home and made the whole process completely stress-free. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly and sent adorable photos of both pets, which we really appreciated. It was clear they were happy and comfortable in her care. We came home to a clean house and two very content animals. We’d absolutely book with Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Alex was amazing. She took care of our dog and cat, both can by a little challenging, and did everything we asked. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets.”
“We were beyond pleased and grateful that Mark agreed to watch our babes for the week that we were in Hawaii! He sent pictures, videos and updates daily, played ball with them and took them to their favorite walking spots! I could not have asked for more! I would absolutely recommend him and would rebook him. He was nothing short of amazing and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Thank you so very much Rover and Mark!”
“Lindsey was great with our girls and cat. She communicated with us daily when she was leaving the house and getting home. She sent photos and kept us updated on how the dogs and cat were doing. It put us at ease knowing they were being taken care of. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Kate is the only person I use to take care of my 3 dogs. I think I’ve used her about 6 times now, all for multiple days. They all have different personalities and one is scared of people but loves Kate. She’s responsible, communicates well, and always leaves my house better than when I left!”
“Lesley did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat while we were away for a trip. She was very responsive and provided numerous updates on how our cat was doing. Our cat has medical issues and needs someone to stay overnight and Lesley did a fantastic job. We will definitely book with Lesley again!”
“Tyler did a wonderful job in both taking care of our 5 dogs but also in keeping us informed throughout our trip. We are so happy that we have found a trusted person to work with for all of our trips.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and love everything about them! I’ve cared for kittens, adults, seniors, and multiple pet households. I have experience with post-op care, cat introductions, and indoor/outdoor cats. Housesitting - I can’t be there 24 hours a day because I have my own pets, but we can discuss how much I need to be away. I work full time from home, mostly available evenings and weekends, daytime if my schedule allows. I’m a night owl so late night visits are okay! I go at your pet’s pace and provide a safe, loving environment so they gain my trust. I go by their usual routine/ habits as not disrupt their routine.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sherman is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherman
Allie was a wonderful sitter for our three fur babies. She did a great job spoiling them and she kept us well informed with multiple pictures every day during our trip. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely use her services next time we are in need of a pet sitter.
Lori was fantastic and we will definitely use her again if possible. Our Ollie is a rescue and very skidish around strangers. While he never warmed up to her enough to be petted, he did get close enough to take treats when offered. Lori never forced the situation with him. She sent us messages with updates and pictures throughout the weekend. You can tell that Lori is a real dog lover and your pet is safe with her.
I didn't have to worry one second. Cynthia did more than I expected for my Lucky. The pictures were great and I think she should be a photographer to add to her many activities. This was especially good because it was last minute and she wasn't the least bothered by it. I plan to ask her again very soon.
Kelsey is fabulous! She watched my 4 pups and my son’s pup for a week. She sent pictures and updates. We were in communication throughout our trip. We came home and the pups were happy, the house was clean and laundry done! It was so wonderful to come in and not have to instantly start cleaning! She loves the dogs and I will definitely book with her again whenever she is available. Cannot recommend her enough!!
Alexis was amazing! Lots of updates (as requested!), left our pup happy and our home just as left it. She watered our plants, gave our dog medication as directed and lots of attention! Maverick had a health issue come up the morning we were set to leave and Alexis immediately took notes and was happy to administer medication. We were able to take our trip with minimal worries about our fur baby!
Brianna was absolutely wonderful! I have a very high energy dog who needs a lot of interaction and walks, and Brianna definitely gave him that and kept him active throughout the day. She took him on several long walks and sent me photos during and after each one. I could tell he was having the time of his life. I will definitely use her again.
Shruti was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated- it was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sherman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,578 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherman. 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 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 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.
