“Haleigh was very concerned about our elderly dog’s health. She made sure she knew how to exactly give her medicine. She took pictures and videos and you just know she is providing excelellent care to our dog. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and hands-on care, I’m experienced with it all—including helping with feeding, hydration, and bathroom needs. I’m a true animal lover and go above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working full time but am available during weekends at anytime, anytime before 9 am, and anytime after 5 pm. I'm usually up by 4:30 am so I can start the day early. I can watch any dog at your home whether or not you have a fenced in area. I currently don't have my own space I live in apartments so it is limited but not totally unavailable
“Kayla was fantastic with our two dogs while we were away on a family trip. She kept us updated with lots of pictures, which we loved! Knowing our dogs were in such good hands with Kayla made our trip so much less stressful. She's the best! ⭐️”
“Kimberly did a great job caring for our 2 pups while we took a mini vacation. She stayed with them in our home overnight and when we returned the pups were happy and the house looked fabulous. We highly recommend her as someone trustworthy to care for your pup family members.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
“Definitely exceeded our expectations and made us feel at ease leaving our babies with her. Provided lots of updates with cute pictures and made sure that the cats were fed including treats along with making sure our dog received her meds at the proper times. Came back home and noticed that our place was cleaner than when we left as well. Will be booking with her again for sure.”
“100% would rehire Aleisa! After a 10 day trip away, our house was left in spotless condition and our Wendy was happy and healthy. Wendy is a timid dog and the only thing she really needs is attention and love and she definitely received that! So happy we found Aleisa!!”
About: I have been fortunate to love and care for pets of all types for over 40 years. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Great Danes to chihuahuas and cats of all temperaments. In college I worked at a rescue facility for animals and I also have worked with farm animals. I have some medical experience and comfortable giving medications and treatments on animals with instructions. I am semi-retired and can spend more time with your pets. I am retired from my corporate job and work sporadically as a professional real estate inspector. When hired to care for your pets I will have few distractions and will be able to spend as much time as needed caring for them. At home I have 2 small-medium sized dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs have full use of. I also have a pool that dogs who like to swim can use. I frequently take them on walks at a local park or longer hikes at Tyler State Park. At your home I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. I am able to check in frequently or stay with them, depending on distance and their needs.
“What a great experience for our fur babies and for us! Matt is very thorough and detailed, he made sure the dogs were kept on schedule and had plenty of play and cuddle time. He sent pictures and communicated regularly so we felt connected while being gone and treated us and our home with respect. If the need arises we will use Matt again.”
“Robbie was fantastic! I knew she would be a perfect fit from the moment my fur babies met her. They instantly were drawn to her. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Robbie for taking such great care of my babies and my house.”
“I have never been happier than when Momo came over and took care of all of our beautiful animals. She kept the house lovely and everybody was just so happy and safe and comfortable when we got home. It was great!!”
About: I've had many pets all my life, multiple dogs and cats. I've dealt with all different personalities with our cats. I love animals and have always had a soft spot for them. I'm currently a Sophomore at UT Tyler, and have two classes in person and the rest online. My week is pretty clear, my cat is self sufficient with her automatic feeder and litter box. I would take the dogs on walks, care for them throughout the day, feed when needed. For cats, I would make sure they are drinking enough water and well stimulated.
“Rachel was wonderful with our cats and took care of our home while we were away for a week. The cats warmed up to her quickly and remained calm with her. Rachel left our home clean and followed instructions. A situation arose at the house while she was at work. She acted quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our babies. Rachel was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We would highly recommend her!”
“Genesis took care of my four dogs, in my home, for a week and did a tremendous job! She’s super sweet and very conscientious. I’ll be using her again! Thank you so much, Genesis!! ❤️”
“Andrea did a very good job of house sitting my dog for the weekend. Since she works at a Vet clinic she has experience with dogs in many things. I fully trusted her & will be using her to sit with Buster again!”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a nursing student with 9 years of pet care experience and a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to shy or anxious pets who need a calmer, more patient approach. I’m a pet owner myself, so I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your animals with someone new. My goal is to make that as easy as possible for both you and your pet. I’m big on following routines, paying attention to the little details, and sending plenty of photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m comfortable with: • Dogs and cats of all sizes and ages • Puppies and young, energetic pets • Shy, anxious, or slower-to-warm-up animals • Feeding and medication routines • Walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection • Multiple-pet households • Keeping a close eye on changes in behavior, appetite, or energy My nursing background has made me especially attentive, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I take pet safety seriously, but I also want your pet to have fun and feel genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your pet wants long walks, endless fetch, couch cuddles, or someone to simply sit nearby until they feel comfortable, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll care for them the way I’d want someone to care for my own. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your pets and learn all of their little routines, quirks, and favorite things! I’m currently in college full-time. I have recently left my full time job to make more time for schooling. My days mostly involve massive amounts of studying, but in between that I am needing to fill my time with taking care of furry friends. I do not offer pet care at my home, but I do have two cats who think they are dogs. One named Sylvester Stallone and Storm.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 178 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Swan. 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 Swan 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 Swan 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Swan 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
