“Haleigh did a wonderful job! Her communication was outstanding. From our introductory meeting a week prior to leading up to the overnight care of a dogs she remained in constant contact with me. Our home and dogs received excellent care.”
“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.”
“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! ⭐️”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for our menagerie of animals!! She was flexible when our plans changed and the dogs and cat were very comfortable and happy with her! We would definitely book her again! Thanks Jessica!”
“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.”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for animals, and I absolutely love them! I enjoy spending time with pets, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I will treat your pets like my own. I am a part time worker at J crew factory and I am also a college student at UT Tyler. I balance my daily responsibilities with my love for animals and will do my best to make time for your pets. I understand the importance of consistency, feeding schedules, playtime, and attention, and I will communicate with you to make sure your pet's needs are met. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, medications if needed, and any special needs. I keep pets in a clean, safe environment, make sure they have fresh water, and always supervise them appropriately. I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable with me and respect their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident knowing their pets are being well cared for. Their pets' safety, trust, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: Hey there! My name is Sarah, & i love all things ANIMALS! I had one amazing service dog for almost 14 years, who i trained myself. I have experience with many different animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds(including domestic like parakeets, exotics such as parrots and even chickens, geese, etc). lizards , fish, Hermit, crabs, Horses, even hampsters and more . I would love to be given the opportunity to help take care of your furry (or not so furry) friend whenever the need arises. I am a stay at home/work at home Mom, so I have open availability most days/weekends. I will do my best to spend my time getting to know what your animal needs, and making sure to cater to those specific needs. Whether it be in my home, simply walking the animal, or your home....I promise that your fur baby will be safe under my care, i can assure you of that! I do request that your pup is treated for fleas somehow, prior to their arrival if staying in my home. Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you! I work full time from home, so i am here the majority of the time to make sure your babies get plenty of attention. :) I have a fenced yard and i also have a couple little boys who would love to throw the ball for a game a fetch.
“Sarah was great with my senior dog and was able to stay at my place, take him on walks, feed him daily, etc. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Communication was easy and she sent photos during my entire time away. Thanks Sarah!”
About: I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years! I am currently working a full time Monday through Friday job, but I do have weekends free and evenings. I also can get Fridays off most of the time if needed. I have been at my current job for almost 8 years so my bosses are very negotiable and I am generally able to adjust my schedule with advance notice. I will play with your pups, cuddle, take them on walks, and even to the dog park with your approval! I have a smaller dog of my own who loves to play with other dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs at a time growing up as well. I love animals and it would be a pleasure to keep your fur babies safe while you’re away! 🩷 I work mostly part time at a restaurant! My shifts are only 4-5 hour shifts! I work 4 days out of the work week and 1 day on the weekend! I care for the pets by making sure they are fed and taken care of! Potty breaks of course & if any of the pets need any medications.

FAQs for House Sitting - Swan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 182 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.
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 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 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.

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.
