“This was my first time having Grace watch my male cat while I was out of town on a trip. I was very anxious about leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time, but it went very well. Grace was very communicative and shared multiple photos of, and updates about, her visits. This helped to reduce my anxiety, and I am sure my cat's as well. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.
“Sierra was exactly what our cat, Leo, needed while we were away on our two-week honeymoon. We felt comfortable knowing that he was getting ALL the love and care. When we returned, Leo was happy and well taken care of. Even when there was an issue with our house key, Sierra was very communicative and even returned to our house for a second time once we figured it out. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Neena was such a HUGE help. She did an amazing job taking care of my pet. Her communication, flexibility, care, dedication was a great comfort. I will absolutely be using her services from now on.”
“Taylor was amazing. She had so much patience and love for my dog. She sent updates all the time and was super responsible and on time. She’s the best!!”
“Gihan was amazing! She clearly has a knack for pets; ours took to her immediately. She’s extremely communicative, responds fast, and takes amazing care. We trusted her immediately. Our pups were in great hands with her!”
“Sam was incredible taking care of our atreven while we were away getting married and on our honeymoon! It was so much easier to enjoy knowing he was safe at home with Sam. We would love to book again for our next trip. 10/10 highly recommend”
About: As a veterinary technician and future vet student, I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, personalities, and medical needs — from healthy, energetic pets to sick or senior animals needing extra attention and patience. I grew up around animals and have raised my own dog since my first years of college, so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether it’s walks, medications, monitoring behavior, or simply giving them love and comfort, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, but I’m off every Tuesday and on the weekends as well! Weekends are way more flexible for me as I can fit in more time with pets. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Whether that means sitting outside with them while they potty in the backyard, taking them on walks, sticking to specific feeding or medication schedules, or simply giving them company and affection, I’m happy to adapt to what your pet is used to. Every animal is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home.
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I’ve been a compassionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs. My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else while traveling, so that is why high quality attention and care is my priority. I like to keep you updated, sending plenty of photos and always communicating. I’m available for house-sits, drop in visits for cats as well as in home boarding for dogs. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule. Whether you have a younger high energy dog who needs lots of playtime and walks and exercise, or you have a senior dog who likes to cuddle and lounge around on the couch I’m here for you! I’m currently working part time so I do have plenty of time to play, take care of, and give attention to your doggies! A typical day if you’re boarding your dog at our house would be outdoor time first thing in the morning, breakfast, nap time, a walk late morning or evening depending on the Texas heat, relaxing inside, dinner, more outdoor time, play time, cuddles and bed. If you’ll be boarding at our home, we have a house that is set up perfectly for dogs and a large fenced in backyard for them to run and play safely. Someone is always out there with them whether it’s me or my husband Nathan. They get plenty of attention in our home since we are home all day.
“Layla was amazing. She’s was great at communicating and keeping me up to date on my fur babies. She really loved my dogs like her own. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
“Alyssa is the best sitter. We have used rover in multiple cities and she is top notch. We have used her multiple times and she is super professional; from communication to the way she treats your pet and home.”
“Danielle is amazing! She spent more time with my cats than asked, provided me with great updates and pictures, and went above and beyond. Having her sit for my fur babies was a huge relief while I was out of the country. Would recommend Danielle to any one who needs a reliable and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I’ve always been the go to person to take care of my friends/ families/ friends of families. Whether it’s cats or dogs I love all animals and will make sure to do my absolute best that your animals will get the care they deserve! Currently I am a firefighter for Austin so I will always have two days off in a row to take care of any pets assigned to me! I have a dog spa at my apartment. I will give them my attention almost most of the time, and will never leave them alone unless specified otherwise. Will gladly provide anything your dog needs.
About: I love all animals. I am taking dogs or cats to stay overnight. I work from home and live in a house with a small fenced yard. I have a small cat that has grown up with a dog and a small puppy. I live in a nice neighborhood for dog walks and I do need the exercise myself. Just bring the toys and the crate, and the food and your dog will have a great stay with me! I can also take cats in if I have no other dogs. There might be 1 or 2 animals at a time in my house. Ask me any questions! I look forward to meeting your pet. I work full time at home from 8 am to 5 pm. I work Monday through Friday. I do not work on the weekends. Thanks! I have a fenced in yard. I do prefer that the dog stays in a crate overnight he can accommodate other arrangements on a case by case basis. I am currently working full time from home. I wake up around 7 am and go to bed between 11 and 12. I can take the dog out during lunch. I have a fenced in yard but do not leave animals alone outside. My house is pretty safe. I keep the animals in sight at all time but usually let cats roam friendly. Dogs stay downstairs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Buda
Best Rover ever! They have watched my dog for almost a year and I couldn’t be happier with the care provided! I get immediate updates AND any issues noted during the visit! If you love your pet, you can be assured that they will be well taken care of! 5 Stars for care during my work week and vacations!
Erika was amazing! She was incredibly easy to work with, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. She even took the time to clarify things I hadn’t necessarily thought to ask about, which I really appreciated. She took care of my dogs for three days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of my dogs can be a bit difficult with new people, and Erika definitely got to experience that firsthand! However, it only took about a day for my dog to warm up to her, which I think speaks volumes about Erika’s patience, experience, and ability to make animals feel comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. I would 100% book with Erika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and caring dog sitter!
I 100% recommend Ivana for your pet needs!! We are a complicated household of special needs pets and some sibling rivalry that requires us following certain protocols to avoid any issues. Ivana made time to get to know our pets prior to pet sitting for us and walked through our typical routine. When doing her drop-in stop, she did a great job of following all rules and maintaining us updated throughout the way. She was also very punctual - which is crucial for us, given that our pets need medication at specific times.
JR was fantastic with Honey! He was very caring, attentive, and clearly treated her like his own. He sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how reliable and communicative he was throughout the visit. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciated his help, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend! 🐾😊

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.
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 Buda 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
