“We can't say enough good things about Cortney! Leaving our 2 Dog's with someone else is always stressful, but Cortney immediately put our mind at ease. She sent regular updates with photos & videos, followed all feeding instructions & made sure they got plenty of exercise & affection. When we got home, Bailey & Lily was happy, relaxed, & clearly treated like family. It’s so reassuring to find someone trustworthy, reliable, & genuinely passionate about animals. We will definitely be booking Cortney again!”

“Ryan did a great job taking care of my cat and dog. We have never used a pet sitter before and were very pleased with the care that my animals got. We’ll definitely use the service again!”


About: I’m a very loving individual and you will see that. I steered into the Medical Field for a little but my heart is in animals and giving them the attention they need. I have worked at Rover Oaks as a Doggie Daycare attendant. From being bitten to having snuggling moments, I wouldn’t change my thought or reconsider any animal that I’ve taken care of. I have had animals my whole life. No dog/cat is too much for me. I love each one! I give baths and clip nails. As well as I can give medications if needed. I will be going to school to become a Vet Tech Assistant next year. I am CPR certified. I would be honored to take care and give love to your animals. I’m ready to meet your furry friends!
About: Hi, fellow pet lovers! My name is Alexa and I’m excited to start my pet-sitting journey with Rover! While I may be new to the pet-sitting business, I’ve owned several pets over the years and currently share my home with my big, lovable dog, Henry. I absolutely love dogs and cats of all personalities—even the grumpy cats who need a little extra time to warm up! 😂 I have also raised chickens! I’m retired from the corporate world and I am looking forward to spending more time doing something I truly enjoy: caring for your beloved fur babies. I’m a reliable, caring, and responsible pet lover who understands that your pets are family. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and, of course, a little spoiled! I’m located in the Cross Creek West neighborhood of Fulshear, Texas. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry-family members. Whether your pup needs some extra love and attention or your kitty needs a caring companion, I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am retired from my previous full time career which was in the corporate world. So I am available anytime that works best for you. I feed my pets on a schedule and also try to walk them every day. I also have experience administering medicine when needed. I also give lots of attention.
“Amanda was great , we booked her last minute and was responsive and reliable!!! She arrived on time and always kept me informed when my dog ate and how she was doing. That gave me peace of mind! When we got home everything was fine! Highly recommend her. Thanks Amanda !”
“Sherine did an excellent job as always! In spite of the busy holiday season, she took extra good care of our elderly kitties and took our new kittens and their antics in stride. She went above and beyond taking care of the house, and we are so appreciative! Good communication helped our expectations! Will definitely book with Sherine again!”

“This was our first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous about having a stranger come to our home and take proper care of our animals, but Aide did a great job watching our pets while we were on vacation. She was easy to communicate with when I wanted to check in and quick to answer. I would gladly recommend her and use her again in the future.”

“Karina did a wonderful job taking care of our cats again, they were happy, well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer was amazing with our two boys!!! She came and had a meet and greet the day before and answered any and all questions we had…our boys were well taken care of while we were gone!!!! She sent us daily updates with pictures of them loving their time with their new friend. We will definitely use her again if the opportunity arises!!!!”

About: I have two 5 year old cats at home that I take care of but I am also passionate about dogs. I have experience walking dogs of various breeds and sizes (larger and smaller). Friends have relied on me to walk their dogs as well as take care of them overnight. I am available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays for drop in visits after 3pm. I am also available for drop in visits on the weekends. I will always make sure that all the pet's needs are met and do all that I can to make them feel safe and comfortable.
“Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.”

“Mayra was amazing with our doggies from the start. She took such good care of them and kept us updated with pictures so we could see how they were doing. We will definitely have her take care of our babies again!!!!”

About: Caring for pets is more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet like family, providing personalized care, plenty of love, and lots of playtime. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work part-time, allowing me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm committed to giving every pet plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping pet parents updated every step of the way. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll stick to their routine, give them lots of attention, and treat them like they're my own. You'll also get plenty of updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for basically my whole life. There has never been a time in my life where I wasn’t surrounded by dogs! I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! I can help you at any time of the day any day of the week! I have a fenced off yard and 3 friendly dogs including 2 Shih Tzu’s and a Pomeranian. I have multiple crates if needed and let them out and in when needed.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been one of my greatest passions. When I was younger, my family had several dogs, and I spent countless hours feeding them, playing with them, and enjoying their company. Those experiences helped me develop a strong connection with animals and taught me how important patience, kindness, and trust are when caring for them. I truly enjoy taking dogs on walks, spending time outdoors with them, playing, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, and I believe in adapting my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and currently have two cats of my own. My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian, and although I followed a different path in life, my passion for animals has never changed. For me, pet care is more than just a job. It’s something I genuinely love doing. I will always treat your furry family member with patience, respect, affection, and the same care I would give my own pets. I have a flexible schedule outside of my regular job, and I love spending my free time caring for animals. My work shifts may vary throughout the week, but I always plan ahead to make sure I can give every pet the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy outdoor walks, playing with dogs, and spending quality time with animals. I’m happy to arrange walks and drop-in visits based on my availability. I always communicate clearly with pet owners to make sure everything works smoothly for both of us. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every animal. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always respect their daily routines, feeding schedules, and specific instructions. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and the care they need. During dog walks, I pay close attention to traffic, weather conditions, other animals, and my surroundings. I always make sure dogs are securely leashed and comfortable throughout our walks. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Simonton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,204 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Simonton. 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 Simonton 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 Simonton 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 Simonton 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.
