Tisha was excellent - I chose her because of her awesome reviews and they were all correct! She was very attentive and great at giving updates. When I returned I found she’d even taken out the trash so I didn’t have to. My cat - and even plants! - were doing great when I returned. Highly recommend.

If I could give her a thousand stars I would! She was absolutely amazing! My dogs absolutely loved her! She not only showed up on time, she sent daily updates, by taking pics of my babies, FaceTiming us, so we can talk to our babies, and stuck to our feeding schedules! My husband and I struck gold here with her. We were initially terrified of leaving for our vacation, but Raegan made it possible for us to ENJOY our time away. When we came home the house was clean, the bowls full and my dogs were HAPPY! Thank u so MUCH Raegan! We will definitely request you in the future!

Karen cared for our three fur kids while we were in a trip abroad. She is responsive and reliable and took great care of our pups. She sent regular updates and photos and promptly responded when I reached out—even when I miscalculated the time change and messaged in the middle of the night! Our home was in great order upon our return and the pups were happy and well cared for. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to travel without worrying about our pups back home. For this, we are very grateful.

Just moved to the area for work and Arden was our hero when we needed someone for nine days! She took such incredible care of our pup and made us feel completely safe with me being new to this area and not knowing anyone. We came back from our trip to a happy puppy who played and was well loved during our time away. She will be our go to at all times! Mieka was crazy about her ❤️

This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.

About: I grew up with dogs and was fortunate to care for our family dog throughout his life, including his senior years. As he aged and eventually lost his eyesight, I gained firsthand experience adapting routines and providing extra support to help him stay safe and comfortable. While working from home, I was often nearby to help when he became disoriented or got stuck in unfamiliar spaces. Caring for a senior dog taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important consistency can be for animals experiencing age related changes. I understand how stressful it can be to watch a beloved pet grow older, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else's care. Whether your dog is young and energetic or older and needs a little extra attention, I'm committed to following their routine, monitoring their wellbeing, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I'm taking time between full-time positions and exploring different communities while considering my next career move, which allows me to dedicate significant time and attention to the pets in my care. Because my schedule is open, I'm able to structure my days around a pet's needs rather than trying to fit them around a busy work schedule. Whether that means morning walks, maintaining feeding and medication routines, spending extra time with pets who enjoy companionship, or simply being present throughout the day, I can provide consistent care and attention. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to experience a new area through the eyes of local pets. Whether that's exploring neighborhood walking routes with a dog or enjoying a quiet evening at home with a cat. I enjoy a low-key lifestyle and genuinely appreciate the opportunity to provide pets with stability and companionship while their owners are away. At this time, I primarily offer house sitting and care for pets in their own home, where they can remain in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I believe pets are often happiest and least stressed when they can stay in a space they know. Before each stay, I take time to learn about each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household expectations. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any other care requirements provided by the owner. Consistency is important to me because it helps pets feel secure while their families are away. Because I currently have a flexible schedule, I am able to spend significant time with the pets in my care rather than treating pet sitting as something I fit around a busy workday. Whether a pet enjoys playtime, walks, companionship, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need. Communication is also a priority. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can stay informed and have peace of mind while they're away. If I ever have a question or concern, I believe in reaching out promptly rather than making assumptions. When staying in a client's home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want someone to show my own home. I keep the property clean, secure, and well maintained throughout my stay and am mindful of any household rules or preferences. Above all, my goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress experience for both pets and their owners so everyone can feel comfortable and confident while apart.

About: I have been taking care of animals full-time through another app for the past three years. I have dozens of reviews I can share from that app. I love animals. I used to have my own cat and dogs when I was younger. I've also lived with people who have had pets. Even some people who had up to four cats and four dogs at a time. However, I promised myself that I wouldn't get my own animal again until I have a house of my own. Until that time, I look forward to giving your dear pets all the attention they deserve. I have many great reviews on the TrustedHousesitters app that I am happy to share with you. I look forward to being able to give you peace of mind about your animals. I know from first-hand experience with watching other people's animals, that pets usually prefer to stay in their home environment while their owners are away. So they will miss you, but this is the next best thing. :) I make my own schedule. I am very flexible. Possibly able to take last-minute requests. Please feel free to let me know what works best for you. The more communication the better. If possible, I prefer to meet you and your pet in person beforehand. To iron out any details and also so your pet will have met me.

About: Hi I'm Elizabeth! I've been an animal lover since I was a kid. I've had dogs from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers and love every one of them! I'm available four days out of the week. I am an EMT and I work 48 hours and off 96 hours and it rotates every week. We are a family of 7 and also on a property that joins our family’s all together we have 13 people on our property! It gets a little chaotic sometimes but we enjoy it. We are all huge animal lovers we have 5 dogs, 3 cats, and working on getting some lambs! I am a big runner at our park in Rockport which luckily has a dog park! If your fur baby loves runs we will get along just great! I do love me some lazy days so if you have an old man dog like I do who loves to mosey around and snuggle on the couch I’m here for it too! Thank you so much for trusting me with your fur babies! I'm sure we will get along very well! Our family can't wait to meet yours! Thank you from our family!! For any questions on scheduling please feel free to reach out to me! When I am working I am gone for 2 days and home four. I live on a property where someone is always home so I have help with my own animals. When I’m off for 4 days straight it’s easy for me since I am just home so those 4 days I am fully available. I do have a routine with crates. I rotate in and out. I do not have a fenced yard so leashes will be needed and if that’s something I can help with I most definitely will! If you’re needing some help with crate training and leash training I will be more than happy to help! It’s a struggle especially with the older pups but yes you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

FAQs for House Sitting - Whispering Oaks Estates Colonia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 201 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whispering Oaks Estates Colonia. 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 Whispering Oaks Estates Colonia 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 Whispering Oaks Estates Colonia 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 Whispering Oaks Estates Colonia 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whispering Oaks Estates Colonia. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
