“Kinsey was so great caring for my two golden retrievers! She was extremely communicative, which was so helpful! She spent a lot of time playing with them and meeting their needs! Would highly recommend booking with her. We also did a last minute booking and and she was extremely accommodating”
“Amelia took such great care of our dogs. She sent photos while we were away and was so good with all 3 dogs. She stayed in touch and asked questions when she needed to. She braved the downpour of rain to make sure the dogs went outside. Amelia was awesome and so respectful with our home, and I could tell she took care of our dogs and they enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Amelia to take care of your babies 🥰!”
“Sarah did a great job for us. We have a very large active young German Shepherd and another midsize dog. Everything at the house was just as we asked and the dogs did not destroy anything. She communicated well with us during the trip and made good decisions on her own. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and providing companionship. I’m very attentive, patient, and gentle, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I work full time on campus, which gives me a consistent schedule along with flexibility during lunch breaks and in the evenings. This allows me to provide reliable care, check-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. I’m also available on weekends and communicate clearly to coordinate schedules that work best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I make sure pets are well cared for during visits, walks, and evenings. I respect your home, follow instructions closely, and communicate regularly so you feel confident your pet is in safe hands.
“We had a great experience leaving our 2 Dobermans with Ashley. She was a great communicator, took great care of my babies, great care of our home and even watered our garden and fed treats to my goats while we were gone. I will definitely call upon her again!”
About: I have about 7 years of professional experience working with animals (medicating, bathing, kenneling, etc.) as well as growing up with at least one dog and cat in the house, I currently have 3 fur babies myself an English Bulldog named Kujo, a Domestic Shorthair names Ramen Noodles and a Domestic Medium hair named Nimbus. Along with my 3 babies I am also a Veterinary Technician. I am around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes 24/7 medicating and loving on while they are under my supervision! I am constantly snuggling and playing with my personal pets and I am the exact same way with the patients at my job. Just because the babies at work may not come home with me I always treat them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, having 5 at one time. personally I have big dogs but I also love little dogs just as much! Currently, I am unemployed. I will be able to work whenever you’ll need and as much as I can. I like having my weekends but I don’t mind having to take care of some pups those days as well. I do have 3 dogs at the house, as well as the yard being fenced. If needed, my boys can be either put in my room or even to the old house while we still have it
About: Loving pet sitter! Experience in a veterinary office; I care for my own puppy and regularly help with family members’ pets, including dogs and cats. As a mom of a two-year-old and a Speech Language Pathology Assistant with Bryan ISD, I have a structured weekday schedule and am available for pet care during evenings and weekends. I am also fully available during school holidays and breaks, making me a great fit for families who travel or need consistent, reliable care during extended times away. I prioritize safety by following pet care instructions closely, keeping a secure environment, and using positive, gentle handling. I build trust through reliable, loving care.
“Linda was so great with our dog, Tex. She stayed overnight with him while we were on vacation and took him on walks. She sent us several photos of their time together. I will hire her again!”
“Kayelee was great! Took care of the dogs and cats during a weekend of thunderstorms. She also diligently tracked the care of the animals and provided updates throughout the week. Would definitely book her again when we go out of town!”
About: I love animals and would love to care for yours while you go have fun and relax and take care of you! Call me anytime! If you happen to be 10-15 minutes from Academy, I would be able to do a potty break during the days, if not, any other time will work! I can stay overnight if needed! Let me know what works best for you! I love on animals and let them know I they are loved. I love sitting outside so can give them walks or just time laying in the sun!
“Kathie was excellent with my dog Macy! She took her on multiple walks each day and was very attentive. Kathie provided detailed updates whenever she went to walk Macy, feed her, and spend time with her. Highly recommend Kathie as a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and, since I can’t have my own dog while I’m in college, I love any opportunity to spend time with them. I’m going into my senior year at Texas A&M in the Mays Business School and have a flexible schedule this summer in the Bryan–College Station area. I have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets like they’re my own. From energetic puppies to older dogs, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time for pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits, and I always make sure pets get consistent, timely care. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I carefully follow all instructions, keep a close eye on pets during visits, and make sure they feel secure and relaxed. I respect your home and keep everything clean, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have owned multiple breeds of dogs my entire life! I have a lot of experience working with my blue heeler/collie mix, and we have even taken an obedience course! I used to do competitive dog shows in 4H with my heeler as well. I have house sat multiple times. I have taken care of dogs such as labs, rotties, and I even have done farm chores for people while they are away. I currently care for two cats of my own and understand feeding schedules, litter maintenance, medication administration, and the importance of respecting each cat’s personality and boundaries. I grew up in 4H and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, show hogs, cattle, horses, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work here in town as a legal assistant. My current schedule allows for flexibility during evenings and weekends. In addition, I have reliable transportation. I am very eager to accommodate all kinds of pet owners! I have given both cats and dogs medications, and have cared for both young and old animals. I can clean up after dogs and scoop litter boxes, and other tasks that involve keeping a client’s home clean and safe! I really value reading an animal’s body language and making sure to treat them with the upmost respect.

FAQs for House Sitting - Steep Hollow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Steep Hollow on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 289 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Steep Hollow. 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 Steep Hollow 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 Steep Hollow 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 Steep Hollow 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.

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.
