Kyle was amazing! He provided drop ins for my 3 dogs while I was out of town with only a few days notice. He was willing to stop by for a meet and greet a few days before I left so I was able to walk through their routine with him. He also sent several pictures of my dogs during his check ins. Honestly, some of the best pictures I have of them and they always looked so happy in each of them. Will definitely be booking again.

This was our second booking with Kellie, and we plan to continue anytime we need a pet sitter! I just can't say enough good things, we have such peace of mind knowing our fur babies are in good hands. Kellie is dependable, caring, and obviously loves animals...our dogs always looked so happy in the photos we received. We also always looked forward to reading her fun updates from every visit. I highly recommend!

About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I’m passionate about helping your fur babies feel comfortable and have fun! I have a super playful and kind Great Pyrenees mix that will be a great playmate for your dog. My goal is to make sure you can trust that your pup is in good hands and having a fun play date. I have an iron fences backyard. Small dogs can slip out so I can only host medium and large dogs that don’t jump the fence. I require all dogs in host in my home to get along with cats since I have 3. Also, I don’t host dogs overnight unless I have hosted them in daycare first. Safety is a priority for me when it comes to your pets and mine! I work from home most of the time and am available Tuesday's, Wednesdays and Saturdays to be home for supervised play time. Right now, I’m just available for daytime care. I have an iron fenced yard, which is good for medium to most large dogs that don’t jump fences. I have 3 cats so your pup will need to be good with cats. I also have 2 tortoises that are sometimes in the backyard. Usually dogs are interested in them at first and then they forget about them because they aren’t that exciting. I have two barking dogs that live behind me so if your dog likes to fence fight, this won’t be a good fit.

Brianna took great care of our two Goldens for a whole week! It was our first time hiring a pet sitter so we were really nervous to have someone come to our home and care for our babies but after meeting Brianna, we immediately knew we were in good hands. We got daily pictures and updates, she was always on schedule and we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was clear that they were very well loved and cared for while we were away. I am so glad we found Brianna - we will definitely work with her again! Thank you, Brianna!!

Jessica is truly the best cat sitter we could ask for. She consistently goes above and beyond every single time she cares for our cats. Not only does she make sure they are fed, comfortable, and well taken care of, but she also pays attention to all the little details that give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She sends thoughtful updates, keeps us in the loop, and treats our home with so much care and respect. She’s even helped with things like bringing in packages and checking on things around the house, which means so much when you’re traveling. Our cats are very different personalities, and she handles both of them so patiently and lovingly—it’s clear she genuinely cares. Knowing they’re in her hands allows us to fully relax when we’re gone. We trust Jessica completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!

A True Lifesaver We are beyond grateful for Sarah. She stepped in with less than 12 hours’ notice during a true family emergency and absolutely saved us. We live out of state, and our senior citizen parents were in a horrible car accident during Thanksgiving. They suddenly couldn’t care for their 25+ pets, cats, turtles, and fish, and we couldn’t get to them right away. Sarah immediately stepped up and took care of every single animal with so much kindness and thoroughness. She made sure everyone was fed, cleaned, and cared for, and she communicated with us the whole time so we had complete peace of mind. She even offered to bring food over for my father-in-law, who is still on bed rest while his wife remains in the hospital. Her compassion truly went above and beyond anything we expected. Sarah is an absolute angel to our family. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals mean more than we can express. We 100% recommend her and are forever grateful for her help during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Bastrop

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bastrop on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,675 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bastrop. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bastrop stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Bastrop. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
