“Meagan did an awesome job house sitting and taking care of all our animals! We came home to a clean house. She sent us videos of our animals while we were gone. She really did a great job. We will hire her again! Thanks Meagan!”
“Morgan is an amazing house sitter for Remington! This is our second time booking because WE LOVE MORGAN!! 💗 She is communicative, kind, and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Remington is clearly well cared for and adores Morgan, and my home was once again left in great condition. I will absolutely book with Morgan again! ⭐️”
“Molly was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even our shy girl, Harley, warmed up to her after the first day, which says so much! She also went above and beyond by watering my plants during the summer heat, and I came home to them looking beautiful and green! She took wonderful care of our pups and kept our house so nice and tidy. We’re so grateful for Molly and would absolutely trust her with our dogs and home again! 🐾”
“Armani was fabulous!!! She helped us out very last minute when we were in a bind, sent great updates with pictures and took care of our baby when she had an accident. We definitely recommend Armani and plan on rebooking in the future!”

About: I've had animals in my life since birth, literally. My mom is a veterinarian and raised me to be just like her. It worked 😅 I am an aspiring veterinarian with a lifetime of experience when it comes to caring for the furry, scaly, aquatic, or just different members of the family! I have worked as a vet tech, so if your pet needs any sort of medication, I am highly qualified for medical administration as well. I am a full-time master's student at OSU. Most of my "free time" centers around the weekends but I do have more limited availability during the week as well. No matter where I am, I vow to provide any pet with the utmost amount of care. I specialize in belly rubs, butt scratches, and laser pointers. Also, if you want your pet's nails trimmed or anal glands expressed, I can do that too 😂
“Destini was so great! She took good care of our pups while we were out and stayed in touch with us. No doubt they were a bit trying at times but she handled it like a pro! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities. I take them on walks and to the park and give them lots of cuddles! :D
About: I have grown up with all type of animals in my house, so I have experience with almost every "typically" pet. Including Reptiles!!! I have a huge heart for animals and treat my own like they are growing, human children! I am my family and friends "go-to" for any animal advice or boarding. I will definitely be your pets second favorite person, apart from you! I am currently completely free to spend time with your babies! I have set routines with my animals and ! understand that routines are important. I work 4 minutes from my house so I can accommodate most needs. I care for pets according to what their needs are. I can accommodate just about anything, as long as instructions are clear. I have the most experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a routine in my home for my animals that is followed to a T (or else i'd be in trouble).
“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was little, I love animals of all kinds I’ve had cats and dogs. My first long term pet was a rescue we taught him new commands and tricks!

About: Growing up on a ranch, I was responsible for the daily care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cattle, which helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, patience, and an understanding of animal behavior. Animals have always been part of my everyday life. I focus on providing quality care and attention to your furry friends. Pet care is a natural part of my routine alongside my equine farrier apprenticeship. Although my schedule may change from week to week, I carefully manage my availability and only take on bookings where I can give each pet my full attention and priority. I am committed to following each client’s instructions and routine, and to being respectful, careful, and safe while caring for your pet in your home.
“My quick review is Cidell was prompt, knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy with house sitting my dog - I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs! Now here’s the details: Cidell house sit my Rott boxer mix for 3 nights. Tank, my dog, was extra stressed due to my son recently moving out of the house and then the fact that he had never stayed with a stranger that long. Cidell was amazing- he kept me updated on Tanks well being, and by day 3 Tank was more calm and relaxed then when Cidell first arrived. I felt assured Tank was in good hands and Cidell was great at keeping him to his daily routine. It was also nice coming home and seeing the house in the exact same condition as when I left. I don’t normally leave reviews, but I am so impressed with the professional and caring manner that he dealt with Tank, that I wanted to let people know Cidell is your guy if he is available.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waxahachie
Molly is amazing!! She was so attentive and sweet to all our babies. We needed someone to hang out with our dogs and cats while we were gone and she was perfect. Our pets are very spoiled and used to a lot of attention during the day and Molly made sure they got all the attention and love they needed. Molly is going to be my #1 sitter from now on.
Hanna did an outstanding job with our fur babies! We have 4 German shepherds and 1 cat and she not only provided exceptional care she gave me peace knowing my babies were in good hands. She’s very responsive and sends you updates while you’re away. I was amazed that she also swept and mopped before us getting home, so we also came home to a clean house. Thank you again!
We were so grateful for Ellie's exceptional care of our two babies while we were away. She provided them with attentive and loving attention, ensuring they were happy and well-looked after. It was a great comfort to know our furry family members were in such capable hands. We truly appreciated her dedication, communication and the peace of mind she offered us while we were out of town. We highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Sincerely, M.Tapp

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Waxahachie is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 2,081 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waxahachie. 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
