“Kelsie did a great job with our fur babies. She was very attentive and sent specific and detailed information about each of our three dogs. She seemed to have no problem handling our puppy and two adult dogs. She also brought our packages in from the porch.”
“Jada has stayed at our house several times and always goes above and beyond. She is very communicative, always on time, ensures the pups are well loved (and gives them lots of treats), and always leave our house clean. We highly recommend Jada.”
“Jennifer did amazing. I had a family emergency and need to leave town she responded quickly and jumped right in to house/puppy sit. Within the first few hours, I could tell Winnie was in good hands. I had so much going on I didn’t have time to check on her, but I didn’t even worry. I knew she was taking care of. Jennifer went above and beyond she took care of my puppy and was respectful of my place. I highly recommend her and I definitely will be choosing her again.”
“She updated me everyday about my dog Cara about how she was doing and sent me pictures which made me feel very comfortable and secure as I was out of town will definitely be using her again in the future and my dog loved her”
“Matthew did a great job! It was his first time watching my kitties and they seemed to take to him pretty quickly. Came back to a clean house and happy cats :)”
“Ashley took great care of our two dogs in our home for 5 days. She communicated well and even came early when I realized I made a mistake on the start time!! We will be having her come stay again on all of our upcoming trips!”
“Nicole and her fiance, AJ we're absolutely amazing. They were open and honest about their schedules for the two days they were dog sitting. I really appreciate that especially after a bad experience last time. They took care of my three dogs really well with multiple walks and even spoon feeding my picky eater dog. Very impressed by their deligence and being there for my doggies while I was away. My dogs were well loved and taken care of. It is so comforting to know your fur babies are in trustworthy hands and you can travel with peace of mind. I am definitely booking them for my next trip. Highly recommend hiring this couple for all your dog-sitting needs!!! Seven Stars to them!!!”
“I am new to the area and was super nervous about finding a new dog sitter. My pups instantly LOVED Z’ie. She was so kind and friendly and always sent me updates with pictures and videos. I was so at ease while I was gone and was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. I highly recommend her!”
“We had to book Pamela as an emergency because the sitter we had booked wasn’t going in to see our dogs. My dogs hadn’t used the restroom in over 19 hours. As soon as we found out I contacted Pamela and she responded almost immediately and less than 10 minutes later she was at my house taking care of my dogs. She sent me pictures of them every day and kept me updated with everything. I am so grateful to her for helping me out in such short notice and she will be my dog sitter from now on ❤️”
“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Teresa is our absolute ROCKSTAR pet sitter. She is always punctual, sends great updates, leaves the house in immaculate condition, and most importantly... our pets LOVE her. I could go on for paragraphs, but the most important thing I care about is being able to be fully present when i'm away from the house... and Teresa gives me the freedom of never having to worry about what's happening at home.”
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life and professionally work in veterinary medicine, where I care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities, ages, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine. My veterinary experience has also taught me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, attention, and the same love I give my own. My schedule gives me flexibility for pet care, especially evenings, weekends, and days when I’m not working. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and make sure I only accept bookings that I can give my full attention to. I’m especially interested in weekend boarding, drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I take pet safety seriously and treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My veterinary experience has taught me to be attentive to behavior, health changes, medications, feeding routines, and individual needs. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, provide regular updates, and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable in a safe environment. I also have a small fenced in yard.
About: I have been an ongoing volunteer at the Animal Defense League of San Antonio since I was about 9 y/o, taking the dogs on walks and socializing the cats and kittens. I have thorough knowledge and experience with raising and fostering kittens, as well as dogs just under 1y/o. I've owned and fostered cats and dogs at varying life stages, throughout my entire life as well. I am well experienced and knowledgeable in animal care and the handling of a myriad of pets and wildlife. While currently also shadowing a very experienced and accredited dog trainer, I am definitely confident in my ability to provide extra care and love for your sweet, fur-babies. Currently, I am in-between jobs, so I as long as I have about a day's heads-up, I'm usually free pretty much any day to care for you furry friend. I perfer to start my work day around afternoon to late afternoon, though morning time isn't a deal-breaker. I want your pet to experience the least amount of stress possible (especially during the first couple visits), so I try to stick to their daily routine as much as I can. For walks, I am quite comfortable walking bigger dogs that may come across as a lot to handle, despite being of a smaller stature. I have experience with training arduous or physically demanding dogs to walk beautifully on the leash also. As for drop-in visits and sitting, I will always stick to the schedule you provide and the safety and well-being of your pet will always be my top priority.
About: I've grown up around dogs and currently have three of my own, so caring for them has been part of my daily life for years. I've also dog sat for family and friends, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening check-ins. I'm happy to communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for both them and their pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions provided by owners and make sure pets stay on their normal routine. I'll always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Heather was wonderful! This was my first time using rover as I was in a bind on the holiday weekend with no one to watch my 4 fur babies.. From the first few messages with her to meeting her she made me feel very comfortable and gives off the good people vibes.... She was very communicative and sent pictures/videos... came home to house and dogs just as I left it. Would definitely book Heather again, so grateful for the peace of mind knowing my wolf pack had good company ❤️🤗”
“Love love love! Jasmine was an angel! She came to sit for us while we were already out of town. We unfortunately did not get to meet her, but our dogs loved her right away. She was sweet to them, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond the call to make sure our poochies were taken care of. Do not hesitate to hire her.”

Nancy was so great in looking after our fur babies! She had great communication, sent regular updates, and the house was left in perfect condition. Even our timid cat brought Nancy her favorite toy to play fetch. Would absolutely recommend Nancy for pet/house care!
Makala was amazing with Terre! She was reliable, communicative, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What stood out most was how much Terre loved her. I got to spend some time with her myself, and Terre kept going over to cuddle with her, which says a lot because he’s usually pretty attached to me. It was obvious that he felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Brittany was absolutely amazing to my dogs while I was away. She provided detailed updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay at my home with my dogs. She even left a daily activity log outlining my pup’s potty breaks and eating schedule. She provided them with lots of love can care! I will be booking with her in the future.
Pamela was an absolute lifesaver while I was away! She took care of my dog, Zildjian, and my cat, Olive, for five days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she completely relieved my stress by being reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She came by three times a day like clockwork, making sure both of my pets were happy, fed, and well-loved. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was with updates—she sent regular photos and messages that gave me total peace of mind. Even during a horrible thunderstorm, she went above and beyond to check on them and make sure they felt safe and comforted Because of Pamela, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing everything at home was in the best hands possible. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly dedicated, Pamela is the one. I would absolutely book her again without hesitation!
Ka'rynne was wonderful, checking in regularly and sending pictures and video. My dogs were very relaxed and displayed regular behavior, playing, etc... She was very respectful of my house and left it in the same condition I left it. I will use Ka'rynne in the future without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bracken on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,900 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bracken. 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 Bracken 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 Bracken 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 Bracken 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.
