“Ashlee was great as always with my fur baby. This time was a little different as we had to say goodbye to Kindle 2 days before Ashlee came to stay with Duece. I am so glad she was with him as he was going through grieving his sister. Ashlee you are so appreciated and thank you.....”
About: Hi, I’m Connor! My services are dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in Lubbock. I’ve cared for dogs and cats through Rover and for neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy getting to know each pet and following the routine they’re comfortable with. I follow care instructions closely and send photos and updates so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits and can often accommodate morning, midday, and early-evening care. We’ll confirm visit times around your pet’s routine and my existing bookings. For house sitting, I’m available to stay overnight in your home. I may leave during the day for other pet-care visits or personal commitments. Before booking, we’ll agree on the overnight schedule, daytime care, and how long your pets can comfortably be alone. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, bathroom breaks, and household routines, keep fresh water available, and clean up pet-related messes. I pay close attention to doors, gates, and leashes and make sure your pets and home are secure before leaving. I respect your home and house rules and will contact you if I notice anything concerning.

About: I have had pets and all types of dogs ever since I can remember. I have taken care of dogs with many needs. I have experience with administering medication‘s to puppies, taking care of senior dogs, and adapting to different dogs in their type of care that they need. I am comfortable around all dogs. When I am taking your dog on a walk, doing a drop in or staying the night I will dedicate all my time to making sure they are loved and cared for. I have a dog of my own named Moose, and I love him so much. I am in nursing school and I usually have class Monday-Thursday, 8-4pm. I am always available to do a drop in during my lunch break around 12 PM to one. Then after 4/5pm I am free! I work nights at the hospital about once or twice a week. I am looking for drop ins, walking, and some over night stays for female owners only. It would be great to come check in on your dogs and just hangout while I study or do homework as well. At capstone, there is a dog park and a long walking area. I always see dogs running around and it is a very friendly area. I am very familiar with walking dogs and knowing what to do in a conflict.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Slide is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Slide. 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 Slide 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 Slide 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 Slide 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.

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.
