“My three dogs love Jadyn! After a couple of meet and greets with other sitters, they unanimously chose her. My dogs have separation anxiety - because I am always home with them - and she kept them calm for the few hours we were apart. One is a senior and needs someone here in case he has emergencies and the other two siblings play together, so they only require petting and cuddles from their humans. No special situations happened (thankfully) to evaluate, but for a standard, late night out, everything went smoothly and Jadyn checked in occasionally with photo updates, which was much appreciated. She kept the house running smoothly and followed instructions (aka schedules created by the dogs) Grateful and recommend Jadyn! Will repeat booking with her.”
“Ariel did well with our two fur babies. She was wonderful with them and she took care of our home. I would definitely recommend her and hope she is available in the future when we travel out of town.”
“Olivia was a great in home sitter for our 3 babies! She checked in often with pictures, and we came home to a clean home filled with happy, exercised pups! I would highly recommend Olivia and will be rebooking with her in the future. 💛”
About: I've had pet babies in my life as long as I can remember! Everything from a snake, hamsters, lizards, fish, mice, birds, bunnies, chickens, pigeons, geese, dogs and cats. I currently have a rescue mix breed dog named Pumpkin Honeybuns Stephens and she's the boss in our home of 4. Between my husband, 2 teenage boys and myself, she's got all of us well trained. Let me give you peace of mind while you're away from your pet! I'm a stay at home mom of 2 self sufficient teenage boys, who is looking for something to do between practices and games. Extra cash would be nice too! Our dog enjoys sunning, but in this Texas heat, her sunning sessions are short and sweet but plentiful throughout the day. I'm happy to let her in and out 100 times a day so that she can live her best life!
“Tabitha was amazing! I had to leave for a family emergency and she took the best care of my pets and house leaving me stress free! Continuous updates with pictures every morning afternoon and evening with updates throughout the day! Her communication is top tier!”
“Kristen was so good with our rescue pup Daisy! She made sure Daisy was taken care of, kept us updated, and even bought her some Christmas toys. She is personable, hardworking, and trustworthy. We will def be using her as our sitter again :)”
“Monica is absolutely amazing! Will definitely book her again, she is very detailed and dedicated, I would definitely recommend her, she took pictures of my Meelo and followed my instructions! Thank you Monica”
About: I have always loved animals since I could remember. Growing up i was surrounded with family dogs. Because of this I understand how important our fur babies are to us. Currently I have 2 cats myself. This allows me to be experienced with taking care of your cat. With my love for animals and my understanding of how important your trust is to care for your animal I will treat your pet as my own. I will be a responsible caregiver for your fur baby! I am currently in college and work as a TA. Because of this, I am free most of the weekend. Weekdays would just depend on the time and day. I myself have 2 cats. Although, I am experienced with caring for dogs through my siblings and friends. I am happy to animal sit for them and take walks regularly.
“Our 3 dogs took to Tali like family! He stayed in our home for a month while we were overseas. Not only did he take excellent care of our dogs, but he watered our plants, gave the dogs their medications, scooped poop, and coordinated with our cleaner and lawn care team. We will definitely have Tali care for our dogs again. We highly recommend him! Thank you, Tali!”
“Here’s a glowing review for Kimmie: We couldn’t be happier with the care Kimmie provided for our dogs! From the start, she was attentive to their needs, making sure they were comfortable and happy while we were away. She played their favorite games, kept up with their routines, and even reached out when needed to clarify instructions, showing how much she truly cares. The daily pictures and updates were such a wonderful touch, giving us peace of mind knowing our pups were in great hands. We’ve already booked her again—she’s fantastic! Highly recommend Kimmie for anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“I had a last minute work trip come up and booked with Arshawna! We had her come to our home to care for our 2 girls. One is a senior dog and one is young dog. Our girls loved her and we constantly got pics and updates! She took the girls on walks and played! We will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
About: I’m a dependable animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and basic care routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets because I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide a calm, reliable environment where pets get plenty of attention, activity, and love. I have plenty of time to care and love your dog. I treat every animal as if it was my own. My home is also spacious and I have a large fenced in back yard with a back porch. Your dog will get all the love and cuddles while you’re away and be in great hands! I also have two young children that will love and play with them as well! They will be able to hangout and sleep with me or on a dog bed! 😊 I cannot wait to meet and love on your animal! 🐕 🐈
“Billie was great! Fast responding and reliable. My Birdie loved spending the weekend with her. I can tell that she was good to my girl and gave her all the extra love and attention she needed.”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, so pets aren't a side hobby for me. They've been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've cared for dogs, cats, and even snakes, which has taught me how to read each animal's personality, spot when something's off, and keep them comfortable when their favorite person is away. I'm especially comfortable with puppies and kittens. I know they need extra patience, frequent potty breaks, close supervision, and plenty of play to burn off energy. Your little one will be safe, entertained, and kept on track with any training you've started. What also sets me apart is how I communicate. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I stick to your routine, from feeding times to walks to bedtime quirks, because consistency helps pets feel safe. As a Killeen local, I understand how busy life gets for working families and military families. Whether it's a weekend trip, a long work week, or a TDY, I treat your pet like my own and your home with the same respect. Pet care is already part of my daily rhythm. I build my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and updates, so your pet gets consistent attention. In my home, pets get a safe, clean space, their usual food and routine, plenty of play, and supervised time with me. In your home, I follow your routine exactly, keep everything tidy and secure, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and comfortable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Union Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 914 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union Grove. 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 Union Grove 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 Union Grove 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Union Grove 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.

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.
