“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“She took care of our two senior dogs and one cat. One of our buds had some unexpected tummy issues and Jayne cleaned up the best she could and communicated with us the whole time.”
About: Howdy! I’m Breanne, a lifelong animal lover with both personal and professional pet care experience. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I worked at a dog boarding facility where I cared for dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. This experience taught me how to safely handle multiple dogs, recognize signs of stress or illness, and provide attentive, compassionate care. Today, I share my home with three dogs and a cat, so caring for animals is truly part of my everyday life. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication administration, extra playtime, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and love I give my own pets. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy. My Experience Includes: * Professional experience at a dog boarding facility * Caring for multiple dogs and cats daily * Experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets * Comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments * Experienced with oral medications and routine pet care. Please discuss any specialized medical needs prior to booking. * Feeding, exercise, enrichment, and companionship I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing dependable, loving care while you’re away! 🐾💛🐶🐱❤️🤗 Caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine. As a stay-at-home mom with three dogs and a cat, I’m used to providing consistent care, exercise, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. Being home allows me to give pets plenty of attention and maintain their normal routines as closely as possible while their owners are away. I care for pets in the client’s home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I also make sure the home is respected and left as it was, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing.
“We loved getting all the pictures and videos. It was clear that our babies were being well loved in our absence. Joy was very respectful of our home and wishes. Jack and Callie can't wait to have Auntie Joy come back!”
“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”
About: I have had extensive experience with dogs, cats and exotic pets! Everything from personally caring for my own dog with allergies and anxiety to caring for medical fosters. I am experienced with high need pets and able to adapt my behavior to thier needs. I have a flexible schedule this summer and would love to help you out! Right now I am taking the summer to get ready for graduate school. This means I have a super open and flexible schedule. My day typically starts with exercise and ends with reading a book. This leaves plenty of time for me to meet and accommodate your needs. Care for pets is often determined but the pet themselves. Do you have a high energy working breed or an anxious low energy chihuahua? I am fully prepared to meet you and your pet where you are at!
“Allison did a great job sitting with our dog while we were on vacation. She asked questions and sent pictures to let us know our pup was ok. We will definitely use Allison again.”
“Paige did a phenomenal job watching my 107lb German Shepherd. I interviewed 5 girls & in about 1 week, my 8 yr old GSD accepted her into our family. This highly protective Police dog is now a puppy to Alanah. And she showed up for 4 hours every day during a week; never missing the appointed time. This gave me great comfort as I was on travels. I look forward to requesting Paige for her care, very soon. She is trustworthy, punctual & a sweet personality. And the birds naturally flock to her. She has a gift with animals.”
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
“Anna is wonderful and I am so happy we have found her. She is great with our two puppies and I do not have to worry when I leave the house. I completely trust her and appreciate her help! I highly recommend Anna !!”
“Abby was excellent with our pups, sent us pictures throughout the week which always helps me so much when I am away from my dogs. We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Which is a plus for me. We will definitely use Abby again when we need a dog/house sitter. We were very pleased.”
About: If you’re looking for someone to adore your pet and build special trust with them then I am here! I am a lifelong animal lover. I have cared for close friends’ animals for years, as well as housesat for coworkers. I currently have one cat who has been with me for 8 years. My former roommate has an Australian cattle dog and I would often take care of him when she was gone! I also frequently house and dogsat for another friend with a lovely black lab mix and energetic dachshund. Plenty of experience taking care of cats as well. No matter the situation I look forward to meeting your babies and putting your worries at ease while you’re away I am working part time in healthcare Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I work 9-6 pm and am available for early morning and evening walks and check ins. On my off days I will be dedicated to your babies and would enjoy getting outside with them too! I am happy to care for them in your home where they feel most comfortable! I am unable to house any additional pets in my home at this time
About: I've lived on a farm since I was born, I've had more than my fair share of animals, most of my friends tease that I have a veritable menagerie. I love being able to provide care and peace of mind to pets and their people. I currently work on my families farm helping to take care of the animals and fix things as needed. Hence my schedule is incredibly flexible and I can fit your pets into my life seamlessly. I make sure every pet feels comfortable around me as the absolute baseline, if you've got an energetic go-getter I'm more than happy to play fetch for ages or even bring in enrichment activities from my own supply to keep them engaged and content while you're away.
“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”
“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”
“Erin took great care of our dog for 4 days. She stayed in our home and took him on multiple walks per day. She communicated with us on how things were going while we were out of town. We would definitely book her again!”

Crystal was absolutely amazing! She really made our dog feel relaxed and when we came home he wasn’t stressed or anxious. She followed all instructions and sent a ton of pictures and updates which we loved! House was spotless when she left and I will definitely be rebooking with her. She’s exactly what you want when booking a sitter. 10/10 recommend!
Crystal is the total package! She’s kind, sweet, respectful, and my animals love her! She sends me photo updates and is excellent at communication. I immediately felt comfortable with her when we met and knew she would be great for my animals. She truly loves them like they’re her own. I wish she could babysit them always! I have booked with her several times, and she’s always my first choice!

FAQs for House Sitting - Skaggston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 684 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Skaggston. 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 Skaggston 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 Skaggston 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 Skaggston 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.
