“Annette watched all four of our pups (my dogs and my in laws dogs) while we were away on vacation. She sent us updates with pictures upon request. She was always responsive. Thanks for watching them!”
About: I grew up with dogs and other animals. I enjoy spending time with and watching any animal. I have experience dog/house sitting for family and clients. I work a full time job in Kerrville and live in Center Point. Mon -Fri, i am available to come over after work at 5:00 and stay until i go to work the next morning, at 8:00. On weekends, i am able to stay full time. Depending on distance, i can possibly do potty breaks during my lunch. I take dogs out for frequent breaks and exercise. I enjoy dog walks as well. I will not watch dogs that are expected to be left outside for long periods of time or tied up.
About: I have had pets since I was born, and they were always members of the family. As an adult, I've owned and trained multiple pets, and I love them all: dogs, cats, unconventional pets, etc. As a stay-at-home mom, I have fairly open morning, afternoon, and evening availability. I am flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I will walk your pet, play with your pet, and give as many cuddles and belly rubs as required! I have experience walking dogs both with a collar or a harness, so can manage whatever you have.
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my whole life and love caring for them. I’ve cared for neighbor’s and friend’s pets as well and am always good with following their instructions :) I am a college graduate and currently work part time at an elementary school. I have lots of free time and am trying to make a little extra money :) I thought this would be the perfect opportunity since I love animals. Since I have three pets at home, I am experienced with caring for animals. You can trust me to care for and walk your critters because I am loving and attentive.
“Alexa took great overnight care of our pups in our home during a long weekend trip. We appreciated her willingness to stay at our home where our senior dogs are most comfortable. Our pups were safe and happy with Alexa, and she was respectful of our home.”
“Andres did an amazing job of house-sitting our dogs. He sent plenty of updates and was very considerate of our dogs and home. He is a great dogsitter and can be trusted with your pups!”
About: I grew up in a home that always had multiple animals around, so caring for dogs has felt second nature for as long as I can remember. I’ve always felt very connected to dogs in particular, and enjoy getting to know them when entering someone’s home. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments, energy levels, ages, and needs. (Fun fact: “Connor” is derived from a Gaelic word meaning “lover of hounds.” Some things are just meant to be.) I’m a recent UT Austin graduate currently training to become a teacher. Working with animals is one way I like to decompress outside of that. I currently substitute teach, which grants me a considerable amount of availability/flexibility — so feel free to reach out for pet care whenever! My approach toward dogs is attentive and low-stress. I treat pets the way I’d want my own cared for, with consistent routine, close attention to behavior & body language, and prompt communication if anything unexpected comes up. I’m comfortable in clients’ homes and prioritize keeping things calm and familiar for the animal, as well as respecting the space that I’ve been invited into.
“Sophia is a great sitter she took great care of dogs and cat. She was very professional and provided us the peace of mind we needed for our vacation. I would highly recommend and will use her again myself again for any future travel plans. Thank you Sophia”
“Danni was professional and i felt comfortable having her in my home. She cared for my puppy the way i asked and with attention to detail. Danni has great communication and left my house clean! Will definitely ask for her assistance in the future!”
“Denise went above and beyond for us! We had a family emergency and she was able to change our booking to arrive a day early to help us. Both the dog and the house were in great shape when we returned!”
“As usual, Ashleigh took great care of the dogs and kept us posted on how they were doing while we were gone. Will always use Ashleigh as long as she is available! My dogs love her and we trust her!”
“Abigail was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our family. She handled our grumpy, older border collie and our playful, energetic lab very well. She was very attentive to their feeding schedule and we really felt at ease with her staying at our house and taking care of our animals (even the tortoise)! She provided updates daily and was very professional during the initial meet and greet. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing!! Her response to our booking request was immediate. She even encouraged a meet and greet with us and the pups at no charge. It was well worth it. The pups loved her. Animals can just sense an animal lover. Amanda sent pics and videos frequently of them hanging out in the yard, and even some of the pups resting after a long play time. The house was immaculate when we arrived back home. If you need a sitter, Amanda is definitely the go to. Do not hesitate. We are extremely picky and a little overboard. We were not disappointed. Book Amanda today!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bandera
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 619 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bandera. 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 Bandera 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 Bandera 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 Bandera 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 Bandera. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
