“Had a wonderful experience booking Wendy to house sit our dog and two cats. Came back to a clean home with happy pets! The pet care aspect of our trip was stress-free thanks to Wendy and we would definitely book her again!”
“We absolutely adore Moira and the care, love and attention she provided to our Rhodesian Ridgeback while we were out of town. Great communicator and fantastic person who we will 100% use again. Can’t recommend enough!”
“First time meeting Aaliyah and right away felt comfortable leaving my pets with her. Got regular updates and she followed every one of my instructions. Thank you!!”
“Haley came through for us in a pinch! We had a last-minute schedule change and she came right over to meet our Mieka and they hit it off right away. She sent photos while we were gone, checked in, and was so sweet to us and our pup. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Haley is so sweet, and she took care of my dogs and home beautifully. Everything was perfect when I got back. My fur babies are very demanding, with competing personalities, and she handled it like a pro! I would 100% rebook her.”
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always been around cats or dogs. I even have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own. Each one of them have their different personalities so I know how it’s like to treat each animal with the care they like. My dream in the future is to have my own pet resort at my own house but first I want and need to experience how each animal work’s differently so I can give them the best care they deserve I am currently available on Mondays Wednesday's Fridays and Saturdays. I would love to book anyone 7 days or plus prior before the date they want. I respect people and their animals. I would care for your animals as if they were my own. My care for your loved ones would be me making sure he/she has enough water and food, go the the bathroom regularly, and practice good habits.
About: I grew up with dogs and other animals. I enjoy spending time with and watching any animal. I have experience dog/house sitting for family and clients. I work a full time job in Kerrville and live in Center Point. Mon -Fri, i am available to come over after work at 5:00 and stay until i go to work the next morning, at 8:00. On weekends, i am able to stay full time. Depending on distance, i can possibly do potty breaks during my lunch. I take dogs out for frequent breaks and exercise. I enjoy dog walks as well. I will not watch dogs that are expected to be left outside for long periods of time or tied up.
About: I have taken care of my own and others pets for 50+ years. I have 3 indoor dogs of my own and have become the official ball thrower to the smallest of my pets because she loves to play fetch. I also care for the Hummingbirds yearly that visit my yard from March till September. I have a full time job but can feed, walk and care for your pets needs after 5 on weekdays and all weekend beginning at 5 on Friday evening. I will care for your pets with as much love as I do my own. Pets are our family and need to be treated and loved as we would our own. I will honor all likes, food choices and instructions given regarding the animals in your home.
About: I’ve had pets since I was young! This season of life doesn’t allow for it, but I have lots of love to give! I currently work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I take walks every morning and evening, even when I don't have a pet by my side! I am a detail-oriented, trustworthy and responsible person! I will take great care, even to the smallest detail, ensuring your beloved fur babies are well taken care of!
About: I love any type of dog, and will spend all the time I can with them, young or old. I want all the dogs, but can't afford them. Teacher on holiday break, I have loads of time, and love to spend it with dogs and walking as much as I possibly can to help myself exercise. I follow directions that the owner gives to the best of my ability. I'm recovering from a ruptured ACL, MCL , and torn meniscus surgery, so I love the exercise.
About: I grew up with 3 big dogs who were truly my best friends <3 I loved to take care of them including walking, feeding, and bathing them. I now have a cat and dog of my own who are everything to me. I am currently in between jobs and will have all the time to dedicate to your animals. I have limited availability Sunday-Thursday before 12pm but can work about that if need be. I will fully respect your wishes for your pets as long as it is respectful to your pets. My dog loves her crate and I have an extra crate as well.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 725 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waring. 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 Waring 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 Waring 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 Waring 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.

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.
