About: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
“Sara was fantastic with our newly adopted and very nervous and anxious dog. She sent pics and communication throughout her stay and left the house perfect clean. It was comforting knowing our new pup was able to stay in her home on her routine while we were away.”
“Matthew was simply incredible. He provided constant updates, pictures and walks every day. Took this job on short notice and made us feel incredibly comfortable while we were away. He’s a great choice and we look forward to continuing our relationship with him! ❤️”
“Noel was wonderful! She took care of my girl like she was her own. She left my house spotless and was super communicative and checked in every day. Would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.
“Leandra took great care of our pup and kitty and home! She was very flexible with our schedule changes and followed our very specific instructions we left as well as sent many updates to ease us since this was our first getaway leaving the babies behind. On her way out our puppy licked her which was evident she loved her time with her. Thank you for your help we will definitely be re-booking for future getaways!”
“Niki did an incredible job house-sitting for our shih tzu puppy, Douglas! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Niki kept us updated with adorable pictures and messages, and it was clear that Douglas was having a great time. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile to ensure Douglas felt loved and entertained. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience – thank you so much, Niki! Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Kelsie was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog with someone other than family. Our dog is typically very skiddish, anxious, and isn’t comfortable with other people, but she warmed up to Kelsie almost instantly. Kelsie made her feel comfortable and cared for, she provided us with pictures and updates throughout the day, and eased our worries. We are so grateful we had Kelsie to stay with our girl, and we will be sure to use her again in the future.”
“Samuel was fantastic!! We have never left our girls with anyone but family before, so Samuel came for a meet and greet before we booked and he put us at ease. Both dogs really liked him from the start. He stayed at our house for 3 nights and sent multiple pictures and updates every day! It really helped us to enjoy our vacation knowing the girls were in good hands!! Thanks Sam!! A+++++”
“This was ourfirst experience with Rover and we could not have been more pleased with Madison! She cared for our pets as if they were her own. Prior to her visit, we had a vet emergency and explained the issue and asked her to keep an extra eye out him. Well our pet had the issue come up while away and Madison did such a great job notifying immediately and took to the vet to receive the medical attention. In addition, during her visit, she sent updates on all the other pets. I highly recommend Madison!!”
“Rachel was beyond lovely and took such great care of our three dogs. If we could give her six stars we would in an instant. She was incredibly respectful of our home, took pains to communicate often & send photo updates, and our dogs loved her. On top of all of that, she completed the entire booking despite having a personal emergency come up in the middle. We would have completely understood if she needed to cut the booking short, but she stayed the whole time and took the best care of our dogs. We were so amazed by her dedication, especially given the circumstances. If you are looking for an amazing, dedicated, and reliable sitter, book with Rachel!”
“Danni is an excellent pet sitter. She took great care of my dogs while I was away. My pups were well cared for and very happy! I appreciated the regular updates and her attention to detail! I will be using her again...highly recommended!!”
“Grey was an absolute delight! He consistently went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of our fur babies. He diligently took care of them, kept us informed and updated daily, and showed great consideration for our home. We would be thrilled if Grey could watch the fur babies again!”
“Ana took care of our two cats for three weeks while we were traveling. We loved having updates along the way and our cats love Ana! We felt so relieved knowing they were in good care. Thank you again!”
“Braydon is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had on this platform. He kept me updated throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. He followed all of our house rules, played with the dogs, and made sure they got their walks in. When I came home, the house was exactly as I left it. Most importantly, my dogs genuinely seemed to love him, and that means everything to me. I’ve already booked him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Sarah was incredible! We received frequent updates with photos and she even went above and beyond to sweep, mop and wash the items that she used during her stay. Our senior doggo Jay got his walks, food, water, cuddles and most importantly attention that he is so used to when we wind down each evening. I must say, this was our first overnight booking with Rover and Sarah helped make it a VERY positive experience. We will certainly be hosting overnight Rover stays again, specifically with Sarah because it went so well and allowed us comfort and confidence in both our dog and home during our time away. Book Sarah!!”
“**Professional + Caring + Respectful** This was my first time booking a Rover house stay so I was really nervous. Odalys made the entire process so easy, even agreeing to a meet and greet a few days before my planned travel to make sure it was a good fit, and it was. She was very patient with me and my pups, followed the care instructions perfectly, sent multiple pictures and updates throughout each day that I was away, and was very respectful of my home. I could tell from the pics that my stranger averse pups really warmed up to her so I know what she was kind to them. I plan to book her again and would highly recommend her. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and kindness really set the bar!”

Nev is the BEST! I can see why they have the reviews and repeat clients that they do! I was so fortunate to have Nev stay at my home with my yellow lab for a week. He was spoiled rotten, but in the best way of course! I need to plan some trips so Ellis can have his playmate back again!! Thank you, Nev~
Everything was great. Subeen loved my pups and sent many pictures and updates. She stayed in my home and took care of it like it was her own. She even brought in a package that I didn’t even realize had arrived. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again.
We booked Parker to watch our 2 dogs for 5 days in our home. One of our dogs is very shy and timid but Parker was able to get her to trust her on the first day. She has a big heart for animals and the care she provided was very evident. We did have an issue on the last day with us getting back home at a certain time but Parker was quick to respond and resolve the issue in a timely manner.
Nichole was excellent! She took great care of Terre, kept me updated, sent photos, and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Unfortunately, my A/C stopped working during the booking and maintenance had to come in and out several times, but she was incredibly understanding and patient through the whole situation. She truly went above and beyond, and I came home to a very happy dog. I would definitely book with her again!
This is the second time Jessica saved my sanity :) When life throws you a curve ball and you suddenly need care for your fur baby, you can count on her! She is reliable, gives lots of lovin’, keeps in contact and sends great photos. I miss my pup while I’m gone but I know she’s in excellent hands.
Doraelia is an absolute lifesaver! We were in a pinch over the holidays and needed someone to watch our cat, Yuki, and our dog, Echo. Doraelia stepped in and did an amazing job. Not only did they stay on top of a strict medication schedule for both pets, but they also made sure Echo got her daily walks and both animals received plenty of playtime and attention. It was so clear that Yuki and Echo were happy and well-cared for as Doraelia sent photos regularly. We can't thank Doraelia enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter!
We were nervous for someone we didn’t know to pet and housesit. Steven did two visits with us and our pets to make sure we all felt comfortable. Upon returning home from vacation, our pets were happy to see us but they didn’t seem overly excited or stressed. This was a good sign that our pets were relaxed with Steven while we were away. We will be asking Steven to sit for us again in the future. Very happy with his care of our pets and home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Terrell Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terrell Hills on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,763 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terrell Hills. 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 Terrell Hills 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 Terrell Hills 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 Terrell Hills 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.

- 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.
