“Haleigh did a wonderful job! Her communication was outstanding. From our introductory meeting a week prior to leading up to the overnight care of a dogs she remained in constant contact with me. Our home and dogs received excellent care.”
“Kayla was fantastic with our two dogs while we were away on a family trip. She kept us updated with lots of pictures, which we loved! Knowing our dogs were in such good hands with Kayla made our trip so much less stressful. She's the best! ⭐️”
“Sue was great with our two fur babies. I was so nervous to leave them for the first time since we moved here. Sue sent pictures everyday of my babies. She stayed overnight which was great since my dogs are older. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Jacie’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and regular communication (with pictures!) allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our canine and feathered family were in attentive hands! Evident by how much they loved her and followed her around! In addition, she was a considerate and helpful house guest and anticipated tasks I had not thought to mention. Jacie is an absolute Gem!”
“Kyla has been the greatest choice we’ve ever made. We have used her services a couple times now and she has been more than amazing. She brings comfort and peace of mind, knowing our dog is receiving the best care and attention we look for in a caregiver. I’m forever grateful for her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing ! We received several pictures and videos a day, took the babies on trips. She made leaving them so much easier than I thought. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
About: Been around animals almost all my life. Worked with working dogs growing up. I now have a two year old dog and her names azula :) I’m a full time college student and love spending time with dogs. I have some free time and would love to help others making sure their dogs get the attention they need! My dog is crate trained and i have an extra at home. My home is decently dog proof I never leave things out that could easily break.
About: I have a cumulative of a little over a year taking care of all kinds of animals. I have experience through vet kennel working to take care of cats and dogs! I have even had experience taking care of horses and am currently working to understand rodent care fully! I am currently a student and part time employee at a vet office. I am available to stop by houses in the morning before class, in between class, and after class. my schedule is typically full 9-10, 12-1, then 3-6 I am willing to talk about how each of my clients would prefer their babies be taken care of! I’m very flexible and happy to fit whatever needs are a priority to you!
“What a great experience for our fur babies and for us! Matt is very thorough and detailed, he made sure the dogs were kept on schedule and had plenty of play and cuddle time. He sent pictures and communicated regularly so we felt connected while being gone and treated us and our home with respect. If the need arises we will use Matt again.”
About: I have been involved in the care of my own dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. Additionally, I have trained and fostered a dog in college through an entire semester! In the past I have helped pet sit for a couple friends overnight, so if you're looking for someone who will be respectful of your space, I am the person for you! I am in-between jobs so I will have a lot of avilability, especially between october to december! However I will need some heads up as I can't do a lot of things last minute! I care for animals by ensuring they have fresh food and water everyday, cleaning and grooming as needed. Will also play, walk, and train, and cuddle with the furry companions!
About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 13 years old. I have had 4 dogs in my life time. I dog sit, bathe and walk several of my family’s dogs. I love animals and caring for them brings me great joy! :) I work part time but I am available to sit or take your dog on a long walk around the neighborhood several times a week! I have a fenced in yard and a puppy to keep your pup occupied ! I can easily crate your dog if needed as well!
“Robbie is incredibly reliable and I swear she is a dog whisperer! Ha! No joking aside, Robbie is very intune to our elderly dog and her medications. She made several suggestions about medication administration, since it is all new to us, which has worked great!! You cannot go wrong with Robbie and her care for your animals.”
“what a pleasure, and a relief, to have discovered "Tina"! My first experience with Rover.com, and it was an admirable one. Despite all my worries about having a 'stranger' stay in our home to care for one of my pups, I'm pleased to report that not only he but I survived the weekend just fine, thanks to Tina. She stayed here for two nights and 2.5 days, took our pup on plenty of walks and was considerate enough to send me pics of him enjoying his adventures. She left the place neat and clean, and more important, she left Snug quite comfortable and well-cared-for. Thank you, Tina. We really appreciate you and hope we can engage you again sometime.”
About: Experienced and devoted pet sitter with a heart for all creatures. Proud parent to three cats and a dog, providing exceptional care for every furry friend. I’m a full time student at TJC and I’d love the opportunity to assist pet parents, offering a helping hand and genuine love for animals to ensure their furry companions receive the best care possible. I would love the opportunity to be a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter as a fellow pet parent, providing the same love and care to others' beloved pets as I do to my own, ensuring their well-being and happiness.
About: I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years! I am currently working a full time Monday through Friday job, but I do have weekends free and evenings. I also can get Fridays off most of the time if needed. I have been at my current job for almost 8 years so my bosses are very negotiable and I am generally able to adjust my schedule with advance notice. I will play with your pups, cuddle, take them on walks, and even to the dog park with your approval! I have a smaller dog of my own who loves to play with other dogs!
About: I worked as a program director for a nonprofit animal rescue in Jacksonville, Texas for six years. My specialty was working with behavioral dogs. Especially bringing in feral dogs and working with them to socialize them until they were ready to get a home. I have always been a pet owner and have owned multiple dogs at a time. I am comfortable with all types of dogs. Young & old, big & small, well-trained or needs some work, I love them all! I have been in the trenches in animal rescue so you will be hard pressed to find a situation that intimidates me. I also love cats & am comfortable caring for them. I own & care for a ball python so I’m comfortable with snakes as well. I’m open to other reptiles and small animals. I’m really open to any animals as long as someone is willing to show me the care they require. During the week, I have a very flexible schedule. You tell me what you need and I can probably make it work. Weekends will be open as well, but slightly less flexible. But I’m always open to negotiations.☺️🐾✌️ I can not offer care in my home due to my current setup but I am more than willing to meet all your needs at your home & am very qualified as a sitter! I am a lifelong animal lover & have years of extensive experience caring for animals, dealing with medical issues, behavioral issues, training, transporting & helping them find forever homes. I have experience with feral dogs & cats, hospice animals, & happy/healthy ones! I have done some amazing things in my career. But I have retired from the trauma of Rescue and now would like to have a more easy-going time getting to love on some babies that just want a sitter.🐾❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tyler
Mariah is amazing. She provided us with video updates each day and responded quickly with additional updates. Mariah is an animal whisperer as I have one very loyal to me only dog. Mariah while house sitting provided a safe space for her and I didn't come home to an anxious, overstimulated dog. I strongly feel that Mariah went above and beyond my expectations and I hope to be able to have her visit again soon. THANK YOU MARIAH!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tyler is $29 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 170 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tyler. 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 Tyler 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 Tyler 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 Tyler 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.

- 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.
