“Hollie is amazing! She puts my mind at ease taking care of my babies because I know they’re left in good caring hands. She’s timely and always sends pictures and I always come home to a clean house! Thank you again Hollie! You’re the best!”
“Wonderful Kristin is the best! We've used her many times and she's helpful and responsive. She'll keep you updated and is a very nice lady! Highly recommended”
“Belem did a great job taking care of my cats. She sent lots of pictures and the cats loved having someone in the house while I was away. She was easy to communicate with and was responsible with my house. I'll definitely book her again!”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Anissa! She took care of my two Great Danes, Staffordshire Terrier, and two cats for an entire week, checking on them three times a day. With five pets—and three big dogs—that’s a lot to take on, and she handled everything amazingly. From the very beginning, Anissa made me feel completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She sent me pictures at every single visit, and being able to see their happy faces and know they were being loved and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She cleaned the litter boxes and backyard every day and even went above and beyond by vacuuming daily—which was definitely not something I expected her to do! Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets AND a clean house was such a wonderful feeling. What meant the most to me was knowing that Anissa wasn’t just stopping by to check things off a list. I could tell she genuinely cared about my animals and treated them like they were her own. When you have five fur babies, finding someone you truly trust with them is priceless. I will absolutely be using Anissa again and, as long as she’s available, she will be the person I call whenever I need someone to care for my pets. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Thank you, Anissa, for taking such amazing care of my crew! ❤️🐾”
“Jessica was amazing!!! My puppy is 4 months old and gets shy around new people. She warmed up to Jessica quickly and had my puppy playing fetch 🩷 Jessica’s communication was great and I appreciated any updates. Jessica even warned me about some pecans she saw in my backyard and how dangerous they can be.”
“Valerie has been such an enthusiastic, caring, and informative sitter for my two crazy beagles. I always get great updates and pictures, and I can always rely on her to show up or let me know if she can’t way in advance. I will keep her as long as I can!”
“Danielle was so sweet and caring, you can see how much she cares in the simple pictures in every Rover card. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future”
“Bailey is super communicative and reliable! She sends pictures and is completely trustworthy & I will hire her again and again! I highly recommend her!”
“Very communicative! Received lots of photos and videos. Knowledgable of dog breeds and GDV. It was nice knowing she is as observant as I am. I have a food reactive dog and she followed feeding instructions perfectly. It brought me a lot of comfort knowing Anna was looking after them. Will book her again!”
“Ashley has always been great with my puppies. They are hard to handle and full of energy, and yet she somehow manages great photos and videos of them while keeping them entertained. She follows all special instructions to the letter, and she is always on time. Can’t say enough about how much my puppies love her visits!”
“Rylee did an excellent job taking care of my 6 cats. She agreed on short notice, arrived promptly and let me know on one the day when she was slightly delayed. She was loving and friendly to the 3 cats that didn't run and hide the minute they heard the key in the lock. She cleaned their litter, kept their food and water bowls full, and cleaned up after them in the areas where I had directed her to be. I received notices of her arrival and departure times, and pictures for each visit. I would difinitely ask for her services again.”
“I can enjoy myself and not worry about my fur babes when I have Miguel and Marifer come to visit. The care and individual attention they give to each of my fur babes cannot be matched. I would recommend them to anyone who treats their animals like family.”
“Jess is absolutely amazing. She sends daily updates with cute stories and wonderful pictures. Our girls adore her and always ask when she is coming back. We know we don't have to worry about a thing when we can't take them with us. So grateful for sweet Jess!!!”
About: As a dog owner and someone who has been around dogs for as long as I can remember, I truly believe they are our best companions who stand by us through thick and thin. Their unconditional love and unwavering support bring us immense joy and comfort. My schedule works perfectly for me, as I have a day job that allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings to spend time with some furry friends. I treat them as if they are more than just pets, ensuring they feel truly special by showering them with extra love and attention. I focus on creating a joyful experience, making sure they enjoy both my company and the services I provide.
“Was so patient with my anxious pup. She was able to gain her trust and successfully walk her. So communicative and a pleasure to speak to. I will be booking anytime I’m out of town and she’s available. She sent lots of pics and a sweet message when my dog finally allowed her to slip on the leash! 100/10 🤩🤩🤩”

This is my second time booking with Olivia and she has been nothing but phenomenal. She takes care of Dexter as if he was her own. He has definitely been labeled as a spicy cat and to have someone who is so patient and loving towards him while I’m away gives me peace of mind.

Karen was great with Reese! She was very attentive and kind upon meeting her and after the visit to return my key. She did a great job with taking care of him, sending me pics and lots of updates. She made sure he was eating when he was picky and gave him extra treats. She even left me a small gift for me! Thank you for all the help and taking care of him!
I highly recommend Violeta! She was excellent, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire time she cared for my dog. I received regular updates, photos, and quick responses whenever I had questions, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, loved, and comfortable while I was away. Her professionalism, dependability, and genuine care for animals truly stand out. I would not hesitate to book with Violeta again and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Sonia went above and beyond in watching our pets. When presented with several unforeseen difficulties, including leaving the wrong key and my cat not eating, Sonia went out of her way to communicate and brainstorm with me to find the best solutions and care for my fur babies. Sonia even made an extra trip out to my apartment to ensure my pets got fed, went potty, felt loved, and had good playtime. Sonia did an amazing job with my girls and I would highly recommend her to others!
Jeremiah has been taking care of my baby girl (cat) for a few years now. I have full confidence in him. Even as she has grown older and needed to take medications, Jeremiah has adapted to her feeding schedule and made sure she gets her medicine. I am so grateful I found a sitter I can trust and rely on.
Taylor was the absolute sweetest and best caretaker for my Sunnie! She made sure to track every walk with Sunnie, gave a detailed explanation for every trip made, and made sure to send pictures. She took the best care of Sunnie and gave her all the cuddles. Made my trip so stress-free not having to worry about my dog, or message her to make sure everything was going okay because she was doing that without me asking! Need a Rover sitter, book her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Balcones Heights is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 2,956 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Balcones Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Balcones Heights. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
