“Reven did a great job house sitting and taking care of my pets. Both pets received a lot of care and attention and she followed my instructions and kept me updated the whole time. Quick response time and everything went smooth.”
“She was amazing. She always sent pictures and videos, so we knew our dogs were doing good. When she had a question, she would ask. She waited until we got home to make sure that the dogs would be taken care of. I would highly recommend her for anyone's pet sitting needs.”
“Starr was great. She communicated throughout the time. She did extra things in the home cleaning. She was consistent and compassionate with my doggos. She made traveling so much easier for me. Recommend.”
“We had such a great experience with Alexis! She watched our puppies for the weekend and did an amazing job. She was caring, attentive, and made sure the puppies were happy, safe, and well taken care of. She gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the great care she provided. We would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”

About: Fellow dog momma and animal lover! I love caring for animals and commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! My lil girl is a spoiled 8 year old Sheepadoodle. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I currently stay home so have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I’m ready to discuss a availability with you! I have a fenced yard and don’t mind taking pets for rides. My dog is very friendly with both people and other pets. If needed I have a crate, dog bowls and other pet essentials.
“Natalia was absolutely amazing with my 12-year-old pup, Phoenix 🐾—who is definitely a picky, demanding little diva 😄. She handled her meds, nighttime wake-ups, and constant need for affection like a total pro. I got great updates and could tell Phoenix was genuinely comfortable and cared for during her overnight stay. It’s not easy trusting someone with a high-maintenance senior dog, but Natalia made it feel effortless. Will 100% be booking with her again—highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Nathan was great with Oso. He provided updates of our puppy throughout the whole stay. Oso was well cared for and happy to be there. Absolutely recommend and is our first option when needing pet care.”
“Samantha was amazing with our Zoe! We really appreciate everything she did taking care of her while we were out of town. We loved the photos we got from Samantha and reassured us that Zoe was in good hands. Would absolutely book with Samantha again in the future!”
“This was my first time using a sitter, I had previously had two senior dogs who required little maintenance and my daughter would swing by to see them. Sadly they both passed a way last year, and I have a one year old now who has only been with me six months when I needed to leave. He had been going through a phase of being suspicious of new people in the house, but he warmed up to Gabby after a few hours when she sat on the floor with him in the red chair I have for sitting on the floor! My cat who hates everyone except my son in law (including me), also came and hung out with her, which I regard as a win!”
About: I have a passion for all animals. I am an educator by profession for over 22 years and have cared and owned pets all my life ( dogs ,cats, pigs, cows and horses). I am a semi professional marathon runner and believe not only people but animals benefit from a daily exercise regimen! I am dependable, trustworthy, and loyal. I strongly believe in the welfare of all animals. I will walk or run your dog but due to extreme South Texas summer weather, I will only do it very early morning or evening when its cooler. I will do drop in visits daily as needed. I will send you pictures and videos our your furbabies while you are away. My dedication and compassion for animals set me apart from the rest!
About: I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was a little girl. Sometimes I think we don’t deserve them 🥹 I have no special skills other than a huge heart for animals 🐾🩷 I am retired and I am available every day except for every other weekend I am out of town. I have my own transportation and I am very responsible. I have a fenced yard and a nice big backyard. I own a 3 year old Labrador mix who loves everybody 🙂 and loves to play.
About: Nothing sets me apart from other sitters, seeing how we all put in effort to learn what it means to be a sitter for pets. However, describing myself to you is important, because by doing so we can start to build trust. The only few things I can describe myself as is someone who is responsible with whatever instructions are given to me, someone who is also understanding, and someone who prioritizes being gentle with pets to help them be comfortable around strangers. If having a conversation helps you build trust with me, I would be happy to do so. I'm currently looking to do something on the side in order to earn a bit of cash, as well as something that accommodates to my religious responsibilities, consisting mainly of Tuesday mornings, nights, and Saturday mornings. We regularly stick to our feeding schedule three times a day, whilst also refilling or replacing their water so that they are drinking the cleanest water possible. As for client's pets, we simply follow this same mindset, or we follow any instructions left behind for specific care of the pet.

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 Acosta 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 Acosta 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.
<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 Acosta 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
