This is the second time Sierra has pet sit for my two dogs. Like the first time, she did an excellent job! I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her knowing how much time she spends with them. I know they are getting all the love they need while I’m away! On top of taking excellent care of the dogs, Sierra left my home clean and organized like she wasn’t even there. I will definitely use Sierra in the future!

About: I love animals! I have an almost 4 year old goldendoodle that is the light of my life. I would love to treat your fur family like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I'm able to stick closely to their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and potty schedules while ensuring they aren't left alone for long periods. Because of my flexible schedule, I can give pets regular exercise, lots of affection, and consistent care throughout the day and evening. Whether it's a midday walk, play session, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication instructions carefully and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I keep pet areas clean, ensure fresh water is always available, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to help pets feel happy and secure in their own environment and to make the experience as seamless as possible for both pets and their owners.

Michelle did a fantastic job in caring for Chloe and Gus. They are a “handful” and she handled them with loving care! Michelle sent me texts and pictures throughout the stay to let me know everything was going well and the pups were having fun. The house looked great when we returned and she even left me a sweet Thank You Note. I have Michelle scheduled for two additional stays in the near future. It is so nice to know our babies are well taken care of while we are gone. I can not recommend Michelle more highly?????

Delishia is so so incredible and caring. She stayed at my house and provided care for my two dogs, one of which was extremely fearful of strangers. She was patient with him, and got him to open up to her by the end of our trip. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are going on a trip and have any pets that need taking care of. She goes above and beyond, while I was out of town, a board in my fence broke and she went to the store to repair it without being asked. So so so incredible I hope you choose her if able!!

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.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

This is the 2nd time I have used Eva and I will definitely book her again. This time we had a new dog. My Nova is very skittish and anxious. I have been working with her since January and everything is new to her. I knew she would shut down again if I tried to put her in a kennel situation. Eva came and met her and took the time to make her feel comfortable and safe. She is a great sitter! I received lots of updates and pics! Would highly recommend her!

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals, from growing up around ranch animals to becoming a reliable friend and coworker people trust with their pets. I have experience with both high-energy animals and pets that need a gentler approach, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and overall comfort. Creating a calm, clean, and safe environment is always a priority. I’m especially patient with shy or sensitive cats and take the time to earn their trust at their own pace, always following each owner’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. With a background in the military providing medical care, caring for others comes naturally to me, whether it be a service member or your furry family member. I’m dependable, attentive, and communicate clearly so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I genuinely care about what I do, and that doesn’t change from one home to the next. I work weekday mornings until early afternoon (0730/1400) and maintain reliable availability for check-ins, walks, and overnight care. My weekends are fully open for flexible scheduling. I’m prompt, detail-oriented, and committed to following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and environment, whether I’m caring for them in their home or elsewhere. I keep spaces clean, safe, and comfortable, and I treat each space with respect from home to home which will never change. I follow instructions closely, pay attention to behavior and comfort, and keep things calm and consistent while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously when caring for both your pet and your home.

About: I've raised and trained my own puppy, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love it takes to care for dogs of all ages. I’m experienced with basic training, potty routines, and leash manners. I’m also comfortable giving medications and caring for sick or recovering pups. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, I treat every dog like family. Starting this fall, I’ll have school in the mornings during the week, but I’m available in the afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m also free on weekends and happy to make your pet a regular part of my routine! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets feel secure and loved. I’m careful on walks, use leashes at all times, and never leave pets unsupervised. You can trust me to treat your pet like family and your home with respect.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, corn snakes, bunnies, and chickens. I started dog sitting at 16 and have regularly cared for my cousin’s three dogs for multi-day stays. I also pet sit for my uncle’s small dog, Halsey, and previously cared for my sister’s cat for several months. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once and always make sure each one gets the attention they deserve. At home, I have an 8-year-old Shih Tzu who definitely runs the house — and I happily spoil her! I’m very patient with senior pets and those who may have accidents or need extra cleanup. While I don’t offer full grooming, I’m always happy to give baths in the comfort of your pet’s home when needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal like family and provide lots of love, updates, and attentive care. :)) I currently work a part-time job only two days per week, so I have very open availability for pet care. My usual unavailable days are Sundays and Wednesdays. If my schedule ever changes, I always know at least a week in advance and will keep clients fully updated. I take my commitments seriously and do my best to avoid last-minute cancellations (Which has never happened!). Clear communication and reliability are very important to me, and I always respect my clients’ time and plans. Caring for pets in their own home is often the most comfortable and least stressful for them, and I always aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and personality, whether they’re very social or prefer to warm up at their own pace. I’m happy to provide plenty of affection, playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time — whatever your pet enjoys most. I always follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stockdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 383 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stockdale. 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 Stockdale 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 Stockdale 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 Stockdale 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stockdale. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
