“Michelle is the kind of pet sitter you don’t think twice about booking. She knows exactly what she’s doing, she’s incredibly thorough, and my babies absolutely adore her. If she’s available when I need someone, it’s a done deal—she’s my first call every single time.”

“Sierra is so very good with our two dogs Poppy and Andie. We forgot to turn off a garden house heat lamp and she took care of that for us. Big thanks! We’re sure Poppy and Andie look forward to her next scheduled appointment.”
“Juliza takes great care of all the animals! Keeps us informed of when she arrives and leaves and sends lots of pictures. She is reliable and we have used her numerous times.”
About: Hi! My name is Briannah Fritzinger, I am 21 and I'm a full-time at-home pet sitter here in Selma, Texas. I am currently pursuing pet sitting full-time, so your pets will have a calm, present, and attentive caregiver with them throughout the day. I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals like hamsters, fish, and lizards . I'm comfortable with handling puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need medication or extra patience. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks, with potty breaks every 2-4 hours and lots of photo updates. I am available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, from 8am to 5pm for scheduled care, with extended availability for boarding and emergencies. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 4 cats of my own, so my day is built around feeding, cleaning, and playtime. I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins, walks, and overnights during the week and on weekends. In your home, I keep your pet's routine exactly the same — feeding times, walks for dogs, habitat temps and humidity checks, as well as safe handling for all. As well as litter box cleanings.I do a meet-and-greet first to learn their setup, emergency contacts, and vet info, and I always keep doors, gates, and enclosures secured. In my home, I only board cats. I have a clean, cat-friendly space with 4 of my own cats. Boards would be separate from my cats and have their own clean space and environment to be in!
About: I grew up with two yellow labs before getting one of my own when I was 15, so I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’m currently working from home so I’ll have plenty of time to stop by and play with your dog or take them for walks while you’re away! My schedule is pretty open so I’m free to let your dog out as often as you want, my apartment also has a fenced in dog park.
“Jennifer did amazing. I had a family emergency and need to leave town she responded quickly and jumped right in to house/puppy sit. Within the first few hours, I could tell Winnie was in good hands. I had so much going on I didn’t have time to check on her, but I didn’t even worry. I knew she was taking care of. Jennifer went above and beyond she took care of my puppy and was respectful of my place. I highly recommend her and I definitely will be choosing her again.”

“Olivia was so amazing! Seniors last minute to help me out with my dogs. She asked for a meet and greet first which was lovely. She took her time to get to know my dogs and spend good quality time with them; they really enjoyed their time with her!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I don’t just stop by to feed them or take them on a walk, I spend time getting to know their personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school through dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters. As a pet owner myself to both a French Poodle Toy and a cat, I understand how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family member. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented. Whether it’s sticking to your pet’s routine, cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, scooping litter boxes, or giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently earning my graduate degree through a fully online program, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available every day for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care. Because my classes are online, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so I always do my best to keep them on their normal routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed and instructed), and any special routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, secure, and tidy. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for until you return home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for family and friends for many years and truly love being around animals. I currently have a friendly Goldendoodle puppy who loves other dogs and would enjoy having playmates during their stay. Because I work from home, your pet will receive lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. We live on 2 peaceful acres in the country surrounded by farmland, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, explore, and burn energy. Inside, pets are treated like family — couch cuddles are welcome! My goal is to make your fur baby feel comfortable, active, loved, and at home while you’re away so you can return to a happy, tired pup ready to relax and cuddle with you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already spend most of my day caring for my own Goldendoodle puppy. Your pet will have frequent potty breaks, playtime, outdoor exercise, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can be flexible with schedules when needed. We live on 2 peaceful acres in the country, so dogs have lots of space to safely run and play while still enjoying a calm, relaxing environment indoors. Pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family during their stay. I can crate when needed.
“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.”
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their fur babies! I am available all evenings/night! Full time Tuesday Wednesday and Saturdays! Needless to say, I can be flexible and do my best to help those who need it! New home with a fenced in backyard! A must to keep the fur babies safe! Toys, snacks, water and cuddles if the babies are okay with that!:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,478 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 , 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.
