“Monica was absolutely perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after Sidney while I was in a last-minute business meeting that took the entire day. She walked him and ensured he was well cared for during the day.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets, homes, and property for friends and family. From dogs and cats to small rodents, animals have always been a big part of my life and my family. I started pet and house sitting at 19, and now, at 26, I’ve built years of trusted experience caring for pets with patience, attention, and reliability. As an active person, I love spending time outdoors with animals, whether that’s walking, playing, or just keeping them company and helping them stay comfortable in their routine. I also understand the importance of maintaining good control and awareness while handling pets of different sizes and personalities. I do have asthma, but it has never stopped me from being dependable, active, and fully attentive while caring for animals. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me! Hi! I’m a South Austin pet sitter currently accepting drop-in visits and house sitting bookings. I love providing dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Being local allows me to provide reliable care for nearby families while keeping up with your pet’s normal routine. I specialize in caring for cats and small dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, meals, fresh water, playtime, enrichment, medication reminders, walks, or extra companionship, I’m happy to help! I prioritize communication and will always provide thoughtful updates, photos, and details so you can feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for. I’m currently flexible with my schedule and available for both drop-in visits and house sitting. Starting August 24th through December 10th, my availability will be focused on drop-in visits Friday–Monday due to my school schedule. While my weekday availability will be more limited during this time, I’ll continue providing consistent, attentive care and clear communication for every booking I accept. I also love becoming a familiar face for pets and their families, so repeat clients are always welcome! My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to become a trusted sitter for you and your pets in the South Austin area! When booking with me, you can expect reliable care, clear communication, and someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I make it a priority to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide updates, photos when requested, and make sure your pets receive attention, exercise, affection, and a clean environment while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I have rescue for 40 years and really connect with animals. Sad to say, my daughter said sometimes better than people. They are people to me! Trust is always the most important for me with the animals I care for. I fit into their schedule mostly. So they can return home with out to much adjustment if at all. The dogs and cats I have been watching tend to like the fact that I can meet their needs as they should. I am semi retired and work at home so I like to keep there routines as much as I can. So that the owners do not have to go through all the transitions. I very active as well. I like to create a trust/bond so the owners that I have been helping to date tend to like that I am ready available because like consistency for they animal, they do not like to switch sitters. That I would prefer and so do most of my clients. They need to feel at home. Also would prefer to have knowledge of pets doctor. Never have needed. Also any personally traits on need to know basis. Every Pet in different. I have not had many bookings on the rover site to date, but always been 100%. Only because I have a lot clients that I have had for a long time on my own and at the complex I at. Lots of word of mouth for me. I only watch one on one at a time. I believe in giving my full attention one at a time. I like to keep with there owners schedule as best I can. So that is makes the transition of coming and going easy. Animals just seem to get attached to me. Trust is the most important for all animals I care for.
“It’s hard to name all the ways Paul was an amazing sitter for our 5.5 yr-old Doberman, Luna. He stayed at our house (per our request) for 6 days with his tiny sidekick Skriller. He kept us constantly updated with videos and texts on how Luna was doing, and was open to FaceTime anytime. It was so nice to see Luna play with Skriller, and how our normally shy dog started leaning on Paul and asking him for pets. It definitely made for a more calm trip. Paul was transparent and told us when Luna wasn’t eating as much. Knowing that Luna is a picky eater, he thought of ways to encourage her to eat more, including introducing sardines to her diet. He bought her extra treats, and was very communicative and honest during his stay in our home. He even left our house cleaner and more organized than we left it. Paul is a gem of a sitter, and we’ll definitely be recurrent clients.”
“Joely was wonderful! She kept Ginger company for 3 days and helped me out SO incredibly much. She was very flexible in accommodating our unique situation while we were visiting the city. We greatly appreciate your help these days! Thank you Joely! 💕💕💕”
“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”
“Angelina did an excellent job looking after my dog for the weekend for a house sit! Ladybug seemed instantly comfortable with her during our meet and greet even though she can sometimes be a shy dog and it was clear Angelina is experienced working with dogs. She gave us a detailed update with pictures and left the house in excellent shape. Ladybug seemed content and well taken care of when we got home. We'll definitely hire Angelina again!”
“Ashleigh was AMAZING, she made me feel at ease with my pup and my home while I was away. She was great at communicating and I could not have asked for a better person to watch over my four legged friend while I was away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I could remember. I love breeds of all kinds and was always the go to gal to watch all of my neighbors/ friends pets when they were gone! Let’s just say I’m the type of girl to stop you on the street to ask to pet your dog! I am not currently working full time right now and have a lot of free time that I would love to devote to pet care! I am highly dependable, patient and kind with animals. I have worked with dogs needing special treatment such as medication, long walks, and complicated schedules. With the passing of my childhood pet this year, I want to utilize my time with dogs again as it’s something I truly cherish.
“Mia accepted a last minute 5 day stay after another rover sitter cancelled 30hrs before the start of our booking. She was so kind to make a meet and greet work same day. She took great care of Clyde, sent photos and was proactive and promptly responsive with her communication while we were gone, and left our house in great condition — washed our sheets, took out the trash, 0 dirty dishes. 10/10 recommend her for not only great dependable care but also being a lifesaver so last minute. Thank you, Mia!!!”
“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”
“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”
“Mariah was very attentive to my instructions and left my house looking spotless. She made sure to send plenty of updates and my boys looked like they had a blast. Highly recommend Mariah!”
“Our normal sitter was unavailable and Sierra came thru to take care of our girl! Our house was just as we left it, she coordinated a friend picking up our pup, and made sure she got plenty of potty breaks, walks, and night care. Communication was often and great!”
“Taylor is so amazing!!!! You can absolutely trust that she will take the best care of your pets and home. She gave amazing updates, handled everything perfectly, and went above and beyond by handling our mail and even vacuumed before we got home. She offered to do even more than that. She made our trip easy breezy. Hire Taylor!! We will definitely have her back!”

Reuben was great with all 3 of my pets (2 dogs & 1 cat) and also took great care of the house. He was very communicative, followed all requests, sent tons of pictures, and spent a lot of time at home with them. He also made sure to leave the house in pristine condition. I'll definitely be booking with him again!
Krystyna was an absolute lifesaver and helped us with an in-home sitting last minute after our previous sitter didn’t show up. She immediately made us feel at ease, took care of our big pup all weekend, and was such a great communicator. She provided frequent updates and spent lots of time with Jameson with playtime and walks. We would definitely recommend her and will book her again!
Luna was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of everything and was very attentive. I really appreciated how clean and tidy she left the apartment, it looked great when I came home. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book her again!
Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and very patient when we needed to introduce our more tentative dog Mapo to her twice before her stay. She showed great experience with a more sensitive dog and he warmed up and loved her! She took care of our 2 dogs at our house for a week and they were very happy and comfortable with Chelsea - it was clear from all of the photos/videos she shared. Highly recommend her for any dog sitting or walking!
Ashley was amazing! She filled in when we needed a dog sitter last minute. She was very responsive and willing to be flexible with our short timeline. Great communication and we could tell right away that our dog would get lots of love and attention. We will definitely use her again in the future.
Amy did an amazing job watching our dog Teddy while we were out of state! She took excellent care of him, sent pictures and updates and was responsive throughout us being gone on how he was doing! She is very responsible and kind and we could tell our pup had a great time with her! We will definitely book Amy again and appreciate her so much!! We know she took great care of our dog and he had a great time with her!

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 Bluff Springs 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 Bluff Springs 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 Bluff Springs 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
