“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for us, she was able to accommodate us on short notice and work with our schedule for the day to ensure that our boy had someone to keep him company while we were gone :). We got updates, pictures, and she took him on two walks that day to make sure he had an outlet for all his energy. After our experience with Michelle, we'll definitely be using her again!”
“Dominique is amazing! Very communicative, professional and, best of all, very caring for our pups! We have one dog with bad allergies and requires extra care; she managed with no problem which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely book Dominique again!”
“There are not enough good things to say about our experience with Alex. I am normally a basket case with just leaving LeeLoo but now we have our 3 month old, Zeppelin, whom we cannot board. Alex was beyond attentive to their needs, schedules, and our instructions. He is very respectful and knows animal behavior. Our home was left in the same (actually better) condition than when we left. He provided updates frequently. But most of all, when we got home… the dogs weren’t even that excited to see us 😂😂😂😂. They were comfortable and cared for extremely well. Will be booking Alex again for sure.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with my 2 old men, he was very communicative, they loved him, and he was very attentive to their individual needs and personalities. Will definitely book with him again!”
“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!”
“Kalena is absolutely wonderful. Our dogs love her and she sent us so many adorable update videos and pics. Our dogs are our babies and she took such great care of them. Thank you from the bottom of our heart!”
“Johanna was fantastic with Luna and Pete. They were very comfortable and happy with her and instantly cuddled with her the day we left. When we arrived back home they were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Johanna.”
“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and communicative. Our pup absolutely loved her and she went above and beyond with everything we asked! She even went as far to make him a custom bandana with his name. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Dina was fantastic with our pups! She was communicative and sent lots of pictures during her stay. She left our place so clean and the pups really enjoyed spending time with her. We will certainly be using her again in the future.”
“We love having Christina housesit for us! I am always anxious because I hate leaving my babies, but she makes me feel so at ease. She sends the absolute best photos and updates and communicates well, which means so much to me!”
“Extremely kind and punctual. Demonstrated keen understanding of my pets needs. Spent more than an hour doing so to get to know me and my pet. Punctual in stopping by, and stayed a bit longer without having to ask on one of the days. Your pet is guaranteed to be in safest and kindest hands.”
“Nichole is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pups are happy and safe. It is such a realized to have someone I can trust to take care of my babies (dogs) when I’m traveling. She sends pictures and updates which is so reassuring.”
“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buda
I loved getting regular updates and felt very comfortable with them watching our elderly dog and staying in our home. I had forgotten to leave out the pill pockets that were needed to give our dog his medicine, and Rebekah and Gloria actually went to the store to get some before I could respond to their message to tell them where they were. That was very kind of them!
Ellie was great in every way. Great communicator and prompt. She handled my high maintenance, rambunctious terrier well. Always a plus because she’s no cakewalk. The house was spotless, as if she was never here. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
My only reticence about leaving even more great feedback about Julie is that it means she'll have less time to spend with MY dog! Julie is who you call when you want someone who's going to love your dog like you love your dog. Above and beyond is just normal operating procedure for her, and it's a little hard to get used to, but you will. Just book her, you won't regret it.
Kristle was great from the moment we met her! She definitely made us feel at ease leaving Bentley for a long weekend. When we came home we could tell he was relaxed and not as anxious as he usually can be after we leave him for an extended period of time. Would definitely trust her to watch our baby again!
Michelle was so incredible. This was my first time having a dog sitter for my 8yr old vizsla + my new vizsla puppy, I have always had anxiety over leaving them with anyone but my parents but we recently moved so needed to find a sitter for them. Michelle made my first experience so positive. She was SO communicative, so patient with my very high energy and needy girls, and was so respectful of my home! I genuinely didn’t worry about them once in her care. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you, Michelle!!!
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.
We had used Heidi in the past to watch our FURocious children, so we thought we knew what to expect. Heidi house sat our two girls and everything seemed to be going fine, then we peaked in on the security cameras as we were getting ready to come home. Our younger child, a large lab) who doesn't seem to trust anyone, was rubbing up against Heidi and excitedly wagging her tail like she was her best friend. That warmed our hearts even if we felt our girl was being a little traitor.
Just the absolute best pet sitter on the planet! She spent so much time with the dogs and you could tell that they were so happy with her. She had no issues with us leaving cameras so we could check on the dogs as we were away and she provided us plenty of updates and photos while we were gone. We will absolutely be using Amber again for our trips in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Buda
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buda on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,457 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buda. 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 Buda 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 Buda 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 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!
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.

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.
