“Michelle was excellent with my elderly and temperamental dogs. We are extremely obsessive about our dogs and Michelle was patient and understanding. She house sat for 3 days and sent updates regularly. She was very responsive to our requests, friendly, and dependable. We will be using her frequently!”
“Tresalyn is a gem of a human being through and through! She is any and all qualities you would want as a dog sitter! We went out of the country on a 5 night holiday and had such peace of mind to have somebody such as Tresalyn care for our rescue doggies. Our one dog is a highly traumatized rescue therefore finding a kind-natured human is important for us to feel secure in leaving them and Tresalyn totally held down the fort in every way while we were gone! To get home to a tidy house, happy dogs and a hand-written note thanking us for entrusting her with the pups … it is all so great! I would and will be recommending Tresalyn to anyone that requires such services. Thank you thank you thank you!”
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.
About: Lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience fostering dogs and puppies, dedicated to providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for pets of all ages and breeds. I offer flexible availability to meet your pet’s needs, including daytime visits, drop-ins, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays with advance notice. I prioritize consistency and reliability, ensuring your pet receives dependable care and attention. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a lifelong pet owner with two senior dogs and two cats of my own, I understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I provide a secure, loving environment, ensuring every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! From classic farm animals, household dogs and cats, amphibians, and beyond! Most recently, I’ve loved fostering dogs and cats for my local shelter, in addition to spending my free time exploring the outdoors with my own dog. I love all animals, and am comfortable with all ages, sizes and needs your fur baby may have. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with your needs and ideal routine to ensure the smoothest care possible while you’re away. I value clear and open communication to ensure your pet(s) are safe and their needs are met! Whether you prefer close oversight or are more laid back and want someone who can naturally anticipate needs, I’ve got you covered.
About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening. My home has a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for safe, supervised play. I closely monitor interactions, follow your pet's routine, and can crate them if needed for comfort.
“We couldn't have left our pets, and our home, in better hands! We had a good feeling when Samantha stopped by for a meet n greet and our Molly took to her immediately. She's normally very shy and standoffish at first so it was particularly remarkable that she had no hesitation with Samantha at all. While we were gone Samantha kept us updated with daily reports and photos of our babies. When we arrived home (hours later than agreed, due to airline delays), the house was spotless and the animals were all happy & healthy. From now on, whenever we need house/pet sitting services she will be our first choice!”

“Keana was the BEST sitter I have used on rover. She was so attentive and sent me allll of the pictures and videos of my babies, Shayla & peanut. She sent pictures and videos of updates which I appreciated SO MUCH. She was kind and loving to my fur babies and I cannot recommend her more.. Even though keana lived about 5 min from me, she still stayed the night at my request & gave my babies all the time love and attention they needed and that I desired for them. I will be booking with Keana as soon as I have a date for my next trip!”
About: I always make sure my pet babies are well fed and clean water everyday. Cages or areas well cleaned and tidy. Organize their space well. Take the time to hold/pet each one individually one on one time with me. Its a daily,weekly,nightly routine. I have to make sure my babies are looking good, feeling good. I take my time to clean and feed and hold each pet so they know I love them dearly. I would treat a clients pet just as I would my own with love and understanding. Patient is very important when caring for any pet. I would love it as it was my own.
“We were in town for work and really wanted to bring our 16 weeknold Cavapoo with us as we just adopted him. We reached out to Ashley before arriving in San Antonio to ensure she had availability. We read reviews of various sitters and decided on Ashley. Upon I still contact right up to picking up our fur son, we felt comfortable. She was very accommodating and had a wonderful vide from initial contact up to when we picked up our puppy. We definitely will use her again if we are in town again. If she lived by us, we would hire her a a lot!”
“Olivia was amazing with our two dogs! One of them can be a bit timid and nervous but he took too Olivia right away! She followed all the instructions we left her and gave them lots of love! We couldn’t recommend her more we would definitely use her again moving forward!”
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
About: Hi, I'm Maureen! I've had pets my whole life, and right now I share my home in Converse with a 4-year-old golden retriever and a 7-year-old cat, so I know how much your animals mean to you. When I house-sit, I keep your pets on their normal feeding, walk, and medication schedule, and I treat your home like my own: mail brought in, plants watered, lights on in the evening. You'll get photo updates every day so you never have to wonder how everyone is doing. My schedule is flexible, so I can work around your travel dates, including holidays. I'd love to meet you and your pets before your trip. I have a flexible schedule so I can be there for your pet for the entire day and night if needed. Or I can schedule time in the morning and evening if that is what is needed. I will feed and walk the pet on your schedule. I will throw a ball if that is how your pet likes to play. If your pet prefers to show me toys thats ok too.
About: I am a deep lover of pets of any kind and of any size. I know you don’t know me yet but with my dogs as my witness, I take care of each and every animal that I see or come in touch with all of my heart and soul. Pick me to become your animals sitter. I will play and feed them to your liking. I offer 5 walks a day and I can feed them 3 times a day, as well as provide them treats. I am available anytime on weekends and weekdays, whether you have a date night, business meeting, anniversary, or just want to hang with your friends that you haven't seen in weeks. Just say the word, I’m you’re girl! I work for myself so I have much more time available than the average person. I occasionally have to take calls but my attention will be wherever your pups are! I have a decade of prior experience in taking care of dogs/puppies. Whether you hire me to walk your dog, drop in, or house sit I will treat them with the love that all animals should have. I’ll walk them, run with them, play tug of war, get their mind working with asking them to play some tricks (maybe I could teach them something to show you later!) and take care of them as you would. I don’t allow any fighting between dogs at the park on my watch!
“Aaliyah was awesome! Our dog, Gracie, absolutely loved her. Aaliyah took Gracie on daily excursions and was very good at matching them to our dog’s physical abilities. Aaliyah’s communication skills are excellent. She texted me often with updates and pictures. Gracie needs daily medication and Aaliyah had no problems managing her complicated schedule. I will definitely call her again the next time we go away and feel comfortable recommending her to others.”
“We are so grateful for Trinity and the care and attention she showed our animals. It's very hard to travel when you're worried about trusting a stranger to care for them. Trinity went above and beyond! She asked questions followed detailed instructions. She sent pics and updates daily. When we returned, the pets and house were in immaculate condition. We will definitely use Trinity again and look forward to a long lasting relationship.”
“Katie was so sweet and very easy to work with. I liked that she sent pictures of the animals having a good time, and asked questions of there was anything she was unsure of. I would totally book her again and am grateful to have found her! This was our very first experience with Rover and I’m excited to find something that will give us maybe some more opportunities to travel in the future. 10/10”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sweet Home
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,483 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sweet Home. 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 Sweet Home 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 Sweet Home 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 Sweet Home 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sweet Home. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
