About: My mom and I originally shared this Rover account, and now I’m taking it over myself. I’ve helped care for pets through the account and have also been pet sitting for family, friends, and clients for years. Your pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away and you deserve peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. With years of experience caring for pets for family, friends, and through Rover, I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so their day can feel as normal as possible while you’re gone. Whether your pet needs a walk, potty break, meals, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting the attention they deserve. I carefully follow your instructions and pay attention to the little things, because I know every pet is different.You’ll also receive updates and photos during visits so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. My goal is to make being away from your pet easier for you and stress-free for them.You can relax knowing your pet is cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love. 🐾💕 I have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last-minute bookings. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, allowing me to give each pet plenty of attention and care. I have a safe and loving environment to cater to your pet needs. I have a fenced home for your pet to run and play and to enjoy their stay. I have 2 dogs. I could also come to your home to provided loving care for your pets.
“I've used a number of sitters and Senaura was probably the best I've had. She was in constant communication with details, pictures and video. Two of my dogs got into a fight and she handled it perfectly. She will definitely be my first contact when I need someone from now on.”
“Emma was super responsive and great with our animals! Our crew is not the easiest to manage, but she has handled everything amazingly. We are super grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Isabella was absolutely terrific with my Ziggy. She definitely understood the assignment, which was a bit challenging, and I was gone with peace of mind, came home res assured. I highly recommend her be it 1 or more pets.”
“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! 🐾”

“Ty did a fantastic job taking care of our anxious pups! He provided photos/video updates daily and we could see how happy our dogs were.

He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. We will definitely book with Ty again!”

“Here’s a polished review you can post: This was our second time using Amber, and I felt just as comfortable as the first time having her not only in our home but also caring for our little spoiled herd. She is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely cares about our dogs. She always keeps us updated with photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away.

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

FAQs for House Sitting - Waxahachie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waxahachie on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,132 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 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.
