About: From the beginning of my life I have always been surrounded by animals. I grew up on a farm and had plenty of pets! I believe every animal in the world deserves love! I am an excellent candidate for your pet! I am very responsible and reliable. I answer quickly and send many pictures during the stay! I make sure they have their appropriate amount of food, water and exercise as well as playtime and attention! I do not just “watch” I care and love for your pet. I take the time to connect with them as they warm up to me. I want to know their feelings, boundaries, mannerisms, and even what side they like to sleep on. Every pet I sit for is not only an opportunity but another connection and commitment to my love of animals. My goal while providing services for your pets is to make both pet and owners comfortable through the whole experience. I understand what it’s like to feel anxious and worried about your pet especially with someone other than yourself. I have been there and felt the same way. Therefore with your pet as listed above I will send multiple updates and pictures as well as answer as soon as possible. Anything and everything I need to for my client and their fur babies! I have had a lot of experience with a large number of dogs and cats before! Whether they be elderly, disabled, super hyper, and even more mellow, as well as territorial, aggressive, and anxious. I treat each pet with care and support and am great at sticking to schedules and keeping pups and cats and even more busy! I am a hard worker and I keep my word. I’m off and pet sitting during the summer. During the school year I’m in and out of the house but love to spend time with my pets and I am very time conscious and responsible about how I spend my time. I make sure my dog Frankie gets so much love and attention and sometimes it’s so much he needs space haha. If I were to host your pet or do any other service for your pet becomes my priority! My job is to provide love and support and I love it! I live in an apartment and it’s always locked and safe! Plenty of toys, and treats to go around! While staying at my apartment your dog will not only be cared for but loved and appreciated. They have free will to get on couches, my bed, anywhere as long as they are comfortable! When it comes to my dog Frankie,I feed my dog 3 times a day and play with him all the time! I play with him for an hour and an extra hour just for pets and love! I cuddle with him every night and make sure he’s happy before I am always. The same goes to any animal I pet sit!
“Margaret was awesome!! Skipper had a great time and was very well taken care of. We got updated throughout every day and she was super transparent and kind! We will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been working with all kinds of cats and dogs of every size for five years now. I really enjoy working and playing with the dogs and taking care of their needs. I’m currently in school for my NP, but when I’m not doing school I do have plenty of time to care for the dogs and do everything they need. I have a dog friendly pug and cat in the home. They do very well with other cats and dogs of all sizes. And the area I live in is very dog friendly.
“Our first time using Staphanie for our 4 furbabies. She was able to fit them in her busy weekend and care for all of their needs! Great communication! We enjoyed having her and will be using her in the future.”
About: At 35, I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by everything from horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and birds to snakes. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing enrichment, and keeping pets active with walks and outdoor time. I’m dependable, respectful, hardworking, and committed to giving every animal the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I recently moved to Corpus Christi to continue my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. My schedule is flexible and open outside of classes, we can discuss availability based upon your needs. As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your pets. I believe in being respectful, responsible, and mindful of your home and your pet’s routine. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in good hands.
“She was a fantastic sitter! Very communicative, sent pictures daily and provided Goose with so much love! She even took him on a special outing to meet new dog friends. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”
About: I’ve always grew up loving animals. I was 9 yrs old when my mom started to foster dogs! So I always helped her with them all the time. She is also a dog groomer back home so at her job i would always go and help in daycare and be around 20+ dogs every day and absolutely loved it!!!! I do have 2 dogs of my own. A lab/blue lacy. And a german shepherd. And also 2 cats! Im always home ! And love going and playing fetch or just laying around with my animals! I am currently not working so i can work around anyone’s schedule!! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard! Potty brakes will be 30mins to insure your puppers are going. outside playtime will be 30 mins with lots of water and playtime inside to insure they are in the cold!!
“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”
About: I don’t just watch dogs—I engage with them. I have a passion for training, so I naturally reinforce good behavior, structure, and basic commands while I’m with your dog. I’m patient and attentive, whether I’m working with a young dog building habits or a senior dog who needs a calm, gentle approach. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and more balanced when you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my schedule so I can give each pet my full attention during visits or stays, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home by keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow their established routine closely and pay attention to their comfort, body language, and behavior. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not alone, while also keeping the home tidy and respected at all times.
“Karen is great with our babies. They really loved her and we felt comfortable going away with her watching them. Can’t want to continue to use her services in the future. 10/10 recommend her!”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was little! My grandpa owns a vet clinic and I did a lot of kennel cleaning as well as dog walking volunteering there. Also, my high school vet med program had our own doggy daycare and grooming business where I was able to gain experience in a range of fields! I currently work as a facility lead at a wildlife rehabilitation center where I am also one of the head raptor bird trainers. Saying this, I have a lot experience with animal behavior, care, and more! I’m currently a full time student at Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi. Saying this, my schedule is pretty open!! I’m just looking for another way to earn money :) I have my own dog that is a rescue and has a lot of anxiety around others, so no pets here. However, I’m more than happy to drive anywhere in town to care for them!! I’m timely and respectful and will always clean up any mess I or the pets make!
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for about 6 years ranging from dogs and cats to ducks and pigs. I love taking care of furry friends and adapt well to each animals unique personality. Whether it’s going for long walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or just offering comfort and companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible school schedule that allows me to be home regularly, which makes it easy to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I have a fully fenced backyard and two fur babies of my own, a cat and a dog who are great with other animals. My dog is free roaming, but I also have an extra crate if needed. I make sure all pets get plenty of attention, including frequent walks and outdoor play. Whether in my home or a client’s, I always provide a safe, clean, and caring environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tierra Grande on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tierra Grande. 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 Tierra Grande 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 Tierra Grande 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 Tierra Grande 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
