“Sharon was a god send! She took such good care of my kitties while I was away. Her maturity and professionalism was easy to sense during our meet and greet, and I felt completely confident leaving my babies in her care. All instructions were followed carefully, and she took initiative to go above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“Deborah did an outstanding job with our babies. When I got home neither of them were stressed out from us being gone or from the sitting. She did what she said she would and what we asked from her. We will be rebooking with Deborah again.”
“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 4 years, including pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I have hands-on experience with small dogs and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my routine. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and can easily make pet care a priority throughout my week. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet is treated like my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m also happy to provide regular pictures, videos, and updates so owners can have peace of mind while their pet is in my care.
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our two cats. One of our cats has asthma and she administered his inhaler twice a day. She was also very communicative and detail-oriented and sent great pictures of the cats. We could tell they were happy to have her taking care of them while we were gone. We would happily use her again as a petsitter. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“I have to admit I was super nervous leaving my boys for 2 weeks, especially with my cat having congestive heart failure but Ruth was wonderful and followed instructions, came back to our home and the boys looking great. Thank you Ruth, I will be rebooking you again.”
“Thank you Johanna for loving on our pups while we were away. The communication was strong the entirety of our trip, and though she didn’t stay the night, she made sure to walk them enough so they were good to go. We look forward to our next booking!”
About: Ever since I was young I grew up around pets. I currently have two sweet dogs. My chihuahua who I’ve had since I was 6 years old, and my French bulldog that I’ve had since 2023. As well as I’ve helped rescue foster 4 cats (now living with my boyfriend). I’ve always had a passion for animals, no matter how big or small. I currently work part-time, Monday through Thursday from 2 PM–7 PM, and Friday and Saturday until 7 PM. This gives me plenty of availability in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether they need walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve had my Chihuahua for 12 years and my Frenchie for 3 years, which has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to a pet’s routine. I’ve also worked with puppies by teaching basic tricks, practicing patience, and reinforcing good behavior. When caring for a dog or cat, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive the attention and supervision they need. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding, medication, crate, walking, or care instructions to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. 🐾

About: I have taken care of pets for others since I was little. When I was 13 we got a dog of our own and she is now my best friend. My dad taught me how to train dogs very well, so I have helped a lot of my friends with their new puppies. I’m an athlete so most dogs cannot pull me. During covid I helped people groom their pets because places weren’t accepting other animals. I now have two cats, as being in college and living in an apartment isn’t the best fit for big dogs. I’m very patient with animals and them getting comfortable with me, some may call me a pet whisperer. I currently have no job because i’m a college athlete. I am home for the summer and trying to make some money. I have a completely free schedule other than going to the gym for an hour everyday. I am gone on some weekends but I will make sure to mark my availability ahead of time. I have a girl golden doodle myself and she is super friendly. She has a mean bark but the second she gets close to you she starts licking. I am well capable of feeding your pets on whatever schedule you need. I am super active so if your pet needs to be entertained, I am perfect for the job. I can crate your pet if needed. If you need me to bathe ur pet as well, I am always up for the task. I have me fur baby myself and have been taking care of her for 5 years.
“Andreina n Mercedes were the BEST dog sitters Ever! They went above n beyond to please my doggie's. They are so sweet n loving. Im defenintly going to call them again. My dogs were so happy with thim. Im sure they are going to miss them. ❤️”
About: When I was five my parents gave my brothers and I a puppy for christmas and named him Sparky, this year he turns 16! Growing up I have always loved animals of all shapes and sizes and would love to love your furbaby. I have taught Sparky plenty of tricks and enjoy the bonding it builds. I have petsat for plenty of my friends and have always enjoyed it. Not only do I have 15+ years of experience with dogs but I also have years of experience with cats! I have my own cat named Cleo and she turned 2 this year. I am currently working part time as a Registered Behavior Technician. I will have plenty of time before and after sessions to play and care for your furbabies. I also have weekends off! I will always ensure your pet is safe and cared for. I am super respectful of other people’s homes and belongings and will treat your furbaby as my own.
About: I’ve grown up around Rottweilers and had a Great Dane/Labrador named Charlie, and I currently have a Yorkie who’s turning 10 this October. I’ve also recently lived with cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Beyond that, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment, so your pet feels at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s engaging playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their energy levels and personality to provide the best care possible. I have a flexible schedule so I can coordinate the time that fits best for you. I enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor playtime are always a highlight for me and the pets I care for. In clients’ homes, I respect and maintain pet’s established routine to ensure continuity. I pay close attention to safety, such as securing doors and gates, monitoring during walks, and ensuring the pet’s food and environment meet their unique needs. I also take the time to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing regular updates and staying responsive to their preferences.
“Natalia was a wonderful Dogsitter for our Boston Terrier! She arranged a meet and greet first and immediately asked all the right questions and we felt comfortable. She stayed in our home for 3 nights and we came home to a happy dog! We will definitely be using her again!”

Here's a little about me : As someone slowly trying to transition into a more vegan lifestyle, I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl and I'm always the type of person to see a stray kitten and feed them immediately.

I avidly seek new experiences, and walking or caring for any animal has always been one of my favorites. Raising animals is not new to me, and neither is taking care of one that needs medical attention, or a scheduled medication.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sweetwater
I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Julius, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and treated Julius like her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I will absolutely book her again!” 🐾❤️
Natalie was so great! We did a couple meet and greets as one of my babies is a little wary of new people. She was so patient and a dog whisper. Both my dogs took to her so fast. She was extremely communicative during our trip and sent lots of photos. She followed all our instructions perfectly and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We would love to have her house sit for them again in the future
Amanda was amazing once again. She accepted a last-minute weekend request and took such great care of our two dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and since this was her second time staying with them, they were clearly excited to see her again. What made this stay extra special was the personal touch—she left us a handwritten note and even an embroidered patch featuring both dogs. It was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly feel at ease knowing Amanda is with them, and we can’t wait to have her back again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sweetwater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sweetwater on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,534 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sweetwater. 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 Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
