“Keana was amazing!! She loved our fur babies, sent updates and pictures, left our home in perfect order and did everything we asked!! We are already setting up our next appointment. Keana is kind, attentive and transparent. Couldn't have asked for a better fit!”
“Megan was amazing and so communicative — she went above and beyond. When we had an issue with ants she even went to the store to grab some traps. She offered lots of pictures, and I felt so comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again!”
About: I’ve been house sitting on and off for almost two years! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life (I’ve had dogs, cats, and even a lizard!) I absolutely love animals, and growing up I was taught that our pets were part of the family, and I live by that sentiment now as an adult. Currently, I am a full-time student and I also work a part-time job, which can make it hard to be available for extensive periods of time. However, I am extremely flexible in going back and forth from multiple responsibilities, and have no issue sitting overnight! I think as much as it is important to meet all of your pets basic needs, it is equally as important to make sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. In the past, I’ve spent any time I could playing with my pets and keeping them company as they await the return of their owners.
About: I love cats and dogs of all variety, growing up on the countryside I had plenty of pets and dog sit for my brothers constantly. You can be at ease leaving your furry one(s) to me! I work nights on weekend and monday but am free every morning before 3pm. I can work around dog sits if needed feel free to reach out anyways I can be flexible. I watch and care for 4 cats in my household, they fill my photo gallery probably as much as i fill them with treats and affection. If cat hair is an issue please let me know ahead of time!
“Alex was so sweet and caring with our 3 girls and our 6 chickens! He house sat for us and provided excellent care and updates to us multiple times a day. It was exactly what my nervous mom heart needed. He was persistent with trying to win over our rescue dog that took a few days to join her sisters in accepting the kind stranger in her home. He was thorough in reading our notes and asking questions. Communication was excellent. We would recommend Alex to anyone else needing a sitter!”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures and made sure to let me know what was going on when I asked. She was also very understanding when I couldn’t answer sometimes due to being in a no phone zone. She left my apartment how I left with I deeply appreciated! Best sitter I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with small dogs, and over the years I've lived with and cared for cats and medium to large dogs owned by family, roommates, and neighbors. Today I own two cats and regularly watch friends' pets when they travel. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and I treat every pet in my care the way I'd want mine treated. I currently work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm able to visit at consistent times for feedings, walks, and playtime, and I'm flexible enough to adjust visit times if a pet needs extra attention or a different routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines and rules as closely as possible so the pet's environment stays familiar and low-stress. I always confirm entry/exit procedures, secure doors and gates behind me, and check that food, water, and litter are addressed on schedule. I treat each home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I stay attentive to a pet's body language and comfort level throughout each visit, always reaching out to the owner if anything seems off.
About: For the last two years I have been dog sitting for family, friends, neighbors, and strangers! I can do overnight stays, daily check ins, dog walking, medication administration, and lots of love! I’m currently a full time college student here at Texas State but I can work around your schedule as needed and I am so excited to meet everyone’s pets! When I am visiting your dog, I will make sure all doors to the outside are properly closed and locked so your furry companion can’t escape and get lost. I will also make sure nothing harmful to your dog is left out when they are home alone. I will do everything in yours and your puppies best interest!
“Olivia is an incredible pet care taker! She is very communicative, sends updates and pictures, takes amazing care of our pets and our home! We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Stephanie! She took such wonderful care of our two pups while we were away, sending frequent updates and the sweetest pictures that gave us total peace of mind. It was so comforting to know they were not only well cared for but truly loved while we were gone. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. Stephanie went above and beyond in every way. We’re so grateful for her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and genuine care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around amazing sitter!”
About: I genuinely love animals and am happy to carr for yours like they are my own. Lots of love, snuggles and and playtime. I've had several senior pets and am confident in caring for them and have raised dogs from puppies and am comfortable caring for them as well. I work from home and can work from anywhere so pet sitting works well with my schedule. There are only a few days a week where I have meetings at a particular time, otherwise I can work around the pet needs. Lq I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps normal routines as consistent as possible. I follow each pets feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully and make sure doors, and gates are secure. Building trust is very important to me. I take time to get to know each pet's personality, respect their boundaries, and provide plenty of patience, , attention, and positive interaction. I also keep the home clean and tidy, properly clean up after pets, and watch for any changes in their behavior, appetite and overall well-being.
“Blayre was so great with my energetic dog! Kricket warmed up to her really fast and seemed so calm and happy when I returned . Blayre was very communicative during the stay and even cleaned up one of my plants that had fallen off the windowsill. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.
“Shelby was great! I can be a little psychotic about leaving Diesel behind, but she would send me pictures and updates to keep me sane. She took great care of him and he loved having her here. She even cleaned the whole house before we got home a very nice surprise :) will definitely be booking with Shelby again in the future”
About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals, whether they are birds, cats, dogs, or guinea pigs! Currently, I have a boxer named Rocky, and two cats named Yari and Little Girl. Apart from my own animals, I do foster day trips with Cincinnati Animal Care, and I have fostered a few stray puppies previously! I am currently working part time and in school, but am normally available mornings and nights to help out! Weekends are more flexible especially with overnights! I always ensure that my pets have access to food and water consistently in their daily routine, and are provided with adequate exercise and attention!
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs and having them in my household. I have two German shepherds I raised from birth that live with my parents. They are now 5 and 6 and very important to me so I keep them healthy and trained! I dog sit for some friends occasionally, those dogs are border collie, labs, pitbulls and mini shepherds! I am enrolled at TXST and take a couple classes through the weeks leaving plenty of free time to spend taking care of your animals! I like to keep an eye on my pets whether they are inside or out! I like to match the energy with the dogs in case they are super active or super chill!

FAQs for House Sitting - Staples
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,726 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Staples. 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 Staples 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 Staples 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 Staples 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
