About: We've had dogs in our family since I was an infant and I've never known life without a dog. My two girls are black labs, a mother and daughter pair, rescues from Ohio- Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. They are the sweetest and are in heaven living on our 1 acre "ranch" chasing squirrels, roadrunners, and barking at deer across the fence. They love having company from other dogs and I have a very flexible work from home schedule, so I've been able help people out when they need it! I currently have my own online business where I am able to choose my own hours, so I am able to take good care of your dog whenever you are in need! I live on about an acre of land that's completely fenced and have two loveable older labs that love new friends! I can also easily crate your dog if you would prefer.
“MarloJo is such an amazing caregiver for our dog. She goes above and beyond always willing to take care of anything that may come up while we’re away. It’s so nice to have that peace of mind that everything is taken care of at home and that our pup is happy. I would highly recommend!”
“Danielle did great with my dog! My dog has high energy and isn’t often left alone. Danielle did not seem phased by my crazy girl and her antics. She was dependable, left a detailed report with a lot of photos, and loved on my girl which made leaving her a bit easier! I definitely recommend Danielle and will book her for future needs!!”

About: As a lifelong cat owner, I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from bottle babies and energetic kittens to senior cats over 15 years old. I’ve also cared for cats with special medical and behavioral needs, including diabetes and age-related cognitive challenges. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. Whether your cat enjoys lots of playtime and attention or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine.

Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving reliable and loving care.
“Neha was responsive, went above and beyond, and even discovered when our kitties got locked in one of the rooms. Her attention to detail and care for our cats was wonderful and she is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve had.”
“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.”
About: I am very patient and understanding with dogs and cats and always have a soft spot for animals. I have experience working with older dogs and medication they might need. I am working around a few different aspects such as college schooling, some social gatherings with friends, and overall business. Many weekends I am free and some weekdays I am also free. I do not own any pets but I did watch my friend’s family dogs for many years. I have had a dog and a cat in the past.
“Olivia was very reliable and communicative! She sent photos and updates with every drop-in visit and made sure we had no worries about our animals while we were out of town. Thank you so much, Olivia!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. Growing up on a small farm, having had pets and neighbors/friends asking me to attend to their babies has always been a pleasure of mine. Even though I am allergic to most animals I know how to control the allergies because I just love being around them. I may not have any specialized training but I do love all animals as if they were my own. I will make sure they get the attention they need. I currently work full time M-F 9-5 and typically have the weekends off. Mornings would have to be early before work and just a quick 30 min drop in. I am available most weekends. I do not offer for pets to stay in my home. However, in your home I will be very respectful of your pets and property. I do not do stay overs.
“Kay dropped in to check on our dogs while we were out of town for the night. She came to meet them beforehand and sent updates every time she checked on them. Everything went smoothly and we'll definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Destiny – a lifelong animal lover and certified veterinary assistant. Growing up, I always had a soft spot for animals and knew from the time I was in kindergarten that I wanted to work with them. In high school, I spent all four years in a veterinary program and became a Certified Veterinary Assistant in May 2022. Since then, I’ve gained hands-on experience through multiple internships, working with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. One of my most memorable moments was during my time at South Park Animal Hospital, where I helped care for an injured dog who had been hit by a car—and ended up adopting him myself! Today, I work full time at Banfield Pet Hospital where I have been since February 2024. I also care for local stray cats, making sure they’re fed and healthy. With my background in veterinary care, you can trust that your pets will be in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them the same care and attention I give my own! I’m currently working a full time job but am usually off after 6:30pm ! I am typically available before/after work or during my lunch break depending on where you are located. I have a fenced home with one dog and 9 chickens. I love going outside to play with my dog but I also don't mind playing inside either !
About: My husband and I have grown up with a love for taking care of dogs and loving animals. During the pandemic we started fostering dogs with APA and have had a blast! We have 2 dogs, Gus and Ollie, who are couch potatoes and who get along with many different dog sizes and personalities. We both work from home a majority of the week so someone will typically always be home. Our house has plenty of space to roam, toys to play with, and a big yard for your pups to hang and sunbathe. Between my husband and I, there is always someone home to watch the pups and let them outside anytime they need it. We end our days with a good walk around our hilly neighborhood so your pup will definitely have some good exercise during their stay. I have a fenced yard and 2 fur babies who are respectful of other dogs. If your pup prefers a more quiet space on their own we have a loft they can hangout in or a couch they can nap on.
“Again Erin made my pup's day by dropping in on them when I had a long day out of the house planned. She allowed me to slide the schedule a little bit which really helped. This made her visit line up with dinner time and I'm sure the girls love it. Thanks again Erin.”

Alex was absolutely incredible during our two week trip. She went above and beyond not only for our dog, but for our home as well, and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. The updates, attention to detail, and genuine care she showed meant the world to us! Our dog clearly adores her and we came home to a happy pup and a well cared for home! There’s no one better, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We would recommend her a thousand times over!!
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.

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! 🐾😊
Ariel is so amazing!! She took great care of our pups and sent the most through reports. We will continue to use her for drop ins for as long as she’s available! She truly loves animals and was so sweet to our two. You can tell she truly cares and loves her job!
Whit is AMAZING!! He truly went above and beyond for my 2 pups. They require a little extra care when it comes to feeding schedules and even for accommodating my ever changing work schedule, neither of which have been an issue which has been such a blessing. Excellent communication and care for them. My bigger dog is most often hesitant of males but upon meeting him without a prior meet or greet, he loved him and warmed up right away! I couldn’t feel more at ease knowing they’re in his care. Thank you whit!
We used Michelle a second time so that we could go out on a long date night in Austin. This morning, I reviewed the security videos from last night to see how it went and came to the unfortunate realization that Michelle + treats + FURocious children = FUR babies. They were trying to bark and growl at Michelle, but they were wagging their tails and eating treats out of her hands. Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of our kids.
Emma was incredibly kind and attentive, going out of her way to make my puppy feel comfortable. She approached my puppy with such warmth and patience that he immediately trusted her. From the very first interaction, she handled him gently, making sure he felt safe and cared for. Within no time, they developed a wonderful bond—my puppy wagged his tail excitedly whenever she was around, and it was clear they had become fast friends. Her helpfulness and genuine affection truly stood out, leaving a lasting impression.

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 Buda 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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Buda with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
