“Shannon did a great job with Echo. She won Echo's trust, getting her out of her kennel to eat and eventually spend time in the living room. Shannon sent updates regularly to let me know the progress she was making earning her trust.”

“Carly is an amazing sitter! She is very kind and took the time to meet all of our furbabies and go over all their care instructions! She was also very patient and understanding with how much information I gave her for each of our pets! She followed their routine perfectly in regards to mealtimes and taking them out to potty and run around! As well as checking the litter box for our cats! She did a great job looking after them and caring for them while we were away! Carly is trustworthy, dependable, and communicative! She reached out with any questions she had and also sent updates! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Dominic was amazing. He was kind, respectful and responded promptly. One of my dogs has high anxiety and tends to hide from sitters, with him it is not an issue. He made sure they were played with, felt comfortable, and that they got more than enough attention. It was obvious that the dogs were happy and after we got home they promptly fell asleep after the excitement of our return wore out. Both of the dogs are very hyper and usually take a long walk before bed.”

About: I’ve always loved both cats and dogs. I understand just how special and significant furrbabies are to our lives! I have one 14 year old chihuahua mix, I helped raise and care for my mom’s two 5 year old cats , and I have a 1 year old kitty of my own (cats are all indoors only). I’m comfortable providing your pets with any needs and wants! walking, feeding, cleaning up after them, play, and giving them lots of love and attention! I’m comfortable with multiple pets at once. I love getting to know all of their personalities and I also love teaching them basic tricks, including cats! I currently have a pretty open and flexible schedule , so I have all of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for drop ins and care in your home. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your furrbaby is used to and help them feel as comfy as possible while they’re in my care! :) I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfy in an environment they already know. I’ll always follow any instructions and their normal routine, like feeding, playing, walks, litter boxes, and any other care they may need! :) I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away! <3

“It’s amazing sitters like Sandra who make Rover such a great resource for pet parents. Leaving our babies for five days to visit family made me anxious, but Sandra put my mind at ease from the start. She kept us updated every day with photos and messages about how the puppies were doing. She took wonderful care of our babies and our home. I have OCD and anxiety, so coming home to find everything in perfect condition meant so much to me. Sandra’s care and communication were outstanding, and I would 100,000% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. As a child we always had dogs and as an adult I have always owned a dog. I pet sit friend's and family's dogs. I have always been successful with house training and training dogs to stay off of furniture etc. Living with and loving dogs, I find, is the best kind of therapy. They offer and deserve unconditional love. For me, dogs are family members!🐕‍🦺🦮🐕🐶❣ I do not work and I live alone so my schedule is completely up to me. I am very flexible and accommodating. I will work with your needs. I am mature so I know the importance of taking on the responsibility of your home as well as your fur babies. I am very clean too. You will find your home as clean or cleaner than you left it. I can also water plants and retrieve mail. Let me ease your worries while you are away from home. I do not work so my day is very flexible, your pup's schedule will become my schedule! I am free to follow whatever routine you have in place for your dog. I will care for your pets in your home exactly as you do. I request a list of routines and special instructions to make it easier on us both.

She went above and beyond and it gave us such wonderful peace of mind knowing our pups were in her care. We’ll absolutely be using Shanna again the next time we need to travel out of town for a few days.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and being around animals has always been something I truly love! If you're looking for someone who will make your dog's happiness, comfort, and well-being a top priority while you're away, I'd love to help! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from the tiniest pups to the biggest sweethearts, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in someone else's care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. If you'd like to meet and see if I'm the right fit for your four-legged family member, please reach out! I'd love to meet you both! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day and into the evenings, making it easy for me to accommodate your pet's needs. Whether you need daytime drop-in visits, evening check-ins, or overnight stays, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I can provide consistent, dependable care and give your pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. Your pet's comfort and routine are important to me, and I'll do my best to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family members! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own homes, I believe in maintaining their familiar routines and surroundings to help them feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I make sure food and water bowls are clean, litter boxes are maintained, and your pet's environment remains clean and comfortable. I'm also attentive to potential safety concerns and always make sure doors, gates, and other access points are secure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets and your home. I'm respectful of your space, dependable, and committed to keeping you updated with messages and photos so you know how your furry family members are doing. Every pet has different needs, and I take the time to understand their personalities and routines so I can provide individualized, loving care. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you're away!

“Larisa was EXCEPTIONAL! She stayed at my home with my dogs (3 of them). She played outside with them everyday and was in constant contact with me. My dogs are very spoiled and usually take days to warm up to someone. They were her best friends within hours of me leaving. She really went above and beyond. They were sad to see her leave and waited at the door to see if she would come back. I will definitely be using Larisa again. My only issue is my dogs love her too much 😂 especially my border collie who got more playtime in the 5 days I was gone than see normally does in a month! Very attentive and loving pet sitter.”

I am so thankful to have found Elissa to take care of Coal while I went on vacation 9/23-9/30. E is studying to become a veterinarian which helped my selection of a caretaker easier. She listened carefully and followed all instructions to help Coal be more comfortable with my absence, as we are the only two in my home. I am retired and had extreme anxiety about leaving him. He’s used to having me with him A LOT! E was very good about sending updates and lots of pictures. I was able to relax, knowing Coal was in good hands. Being back home with him is great. I know he was confused about his change of routine.

Aubrey was absolutely incredible! She stayed overnight with our Belgian Malinois and Siberian Husky for three days and took wonderful care of both of them. If you know the breeds then you are aware of how important it is to have someone with experience and very trustworthy! She was extremely respectful of our home, communicated consistently, and always let us know when she would be away from the house. She followed all of their care instructions perfectly, including special food and medication. Everything went so smoothly, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. If I could give Aubrey more than five stars, I absolutely would. We would happily book her again and plan to for all future trips without hesitation!

Shanna did an amazing job taking care of our three fur babies! She kept us updated throughout our time away and made sure we knew how each one was doing. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our pups a bath when he was feeling a little itchy. It was clear that she truly cared for them and treated them like her own. Honestly, I think our pups were almost disappointed to see us come home so soon because they were having such a great time with her! We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend Shanna and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!

Serenity is the absolute best. She has been helping with Kona for awhile. He is a Senior and now on palliative care. While still doing great on his own, during one mealtime when he was slower than normal to eat, she pulled out all the cards to get him to eat his food which is important because we put his supplements in his food. He can’t say no to Serenity’s caring techniques and ate his food like a good boy. We love Serenity!!

Alexa was absolutely wonderful house-sitting my 2x male huskies. She was very responsive with initial coordination, and made herself flexibly available to visit my home to meet & greet with the boys. During her stay, she sent daily photos of the doggos, and was extremely communicative about even the smallest considerations for their wellbeing. One of the boys had an ear infection, and Alexa was more than comfortable applying some ear cleaning solution & treating him. She spent time in the backyard actually playing with & giving quality attention to each dog, which I really appreciate. When I returned from my trip, the house was in great shape, everything was clean & tidy, and the boys were happy, healthy, and well-loved. Would absolutely trust my pets with Alexa in the future, and would recommend her to anyone who wants their fur babies well-taken care of!

FAQs for House Sitting - Spring

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Spring is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $80 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 3,311 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spring. 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 Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
