“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!”
“Monica was fantastic! Our pets were well cared for as was our home. She sent pictures daily along with a text as to how things were going. It really put our minds at ease while we were away to know that our fur babies were in loving and capable hands. We prefer in home care as our senior cat does not board well and the dog prefers her own turf too. Monica took care of our home and left it in perfect condition. We have found someone we have complete confidence in and our pets are comfortable and happy with. We will be using her in the future for our pet sitting needs.”
“Johanna continues to be the perfect pet and housesitter! Super flexible and accommodating with schedule changes and the house is always cleaner than when we left! She sends daily photos of my babies and takes great care of my plants. Thanks, Johanna!”
“Amy is absolutely wonderful! Presley loves her so much. We got updates on how she was doing. I felt so at ease knowing that Presley was with her in our home so it’s less stress on Presley especially during New Year’s Eve. Even after Amy left, Presley was looking for her in the guest room. ☺️”
“Ellie is definitely a cat whisperer! She easily made friends with my nervous kitty. Her communication was great and my home was perfect when I returned. Would certainly use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Alex did a great job taking care of our Marlee! We loved the multiple daily updates with pictures. He was very respectful of our home and left it in pristine condition as well as bringing in packages and checking our mail. We know Marlee had a great time with Alex while we were away. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“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.”
“Dominique did a great job with our two small dogs. She is a great communicator and overall great experience. Definitely will hire her again and recommend to anyone else.”
“Received frequent updates including pictures! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone she doesn’t know and she had a great time with Michael! Highly recommend!!”
“Willow was amazing. I am always an overbearing pet parent to my kiddos and she was so sweet always answering my texts and sending me pictures every day. Truly the best!”
“Mariah has watched Bear and Ollie over two different weekends in our home. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She goes above and beyond every time—sending lots of photo updates, giving the pups tons of love, and even helping with little things like brushing out ear mats from roughhousing. We always come home a clean house, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We will absolutely book again!”
“Jamie was great, everything I could hope for in hiring someone to care for my dog and house while my family was traveling! I loved that she wanted to come over and meet my dog before we left town, and when she did, she was so cute and sat othe ground to meet and pet him... I could tell she really enjoyed being around dogs. It also was nice to learn she works remotely, so could be around our house working from home, which helped me feel good about having someone around often to keep my dog company!:-) She was super sweet at sending pictures and stories throughout her stay, my family and I loved seeing them and being reassured our dog was being well cared for. We even got a cute report card on our dog, upon return, which was just an extra little fun touch Jamie added. I was thankful she watered our plants and brought in our mail too! I hope all our future travels will align with her availability, as we would be excited to have her again!”
About: Hi there! My name’s Matt, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover. I’ve owned and cared for several breeds over the years, including loyal and energetic Labrador Retrievers and gentle, protective Great Pyrenees. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or just some quality cuddle time, I understand what it takes to keep dogs happy, healthy, and feeling loved. I treat every dog like my own patient, attentive, and always looking out for their comfort and safety. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is a natural part of my day to day life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I enjoy starting my mornings with a walk and making sure pups have exercise and interaction spread out across the day. Whether it’s a short drop-in visit or caring for a dog overnight, I plan my schedule around their needs so they’re never rushed or left without care. I treat each pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. When caring for pets in their own space, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get their walks or play sessions, and receive plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and make sure you come back to a happy, well cared for pet.
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Buda is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buda
We had such a great experience with Michelle! She took amazing care of Emiliano and kept me updated with lots of pictures, and messages throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. ❤️ I would absolutely trust her with Emiliano again and highly recommend her! She truly treated him like her own. 🐾❤️l
Hope gave me such peace of mind leaving my pups behind for a work trip. She checked in with lots of photos and left the house perfect. Secretly would love to not let the cat out of the bag so I can book her again but she deserves all the praise! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her again. :)
Amy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She stayed at my house with my large boxer (with zero boundaries) and two frenchies (who require extra levels of supervision) for 4 days. Amy embraced each dog without hesitation. She went above and beyond when it came to communication and left my house exactly as she found it. I would absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking!
Angelica was amazing with our two goldens and little kitten. The morning before we went out of town, one of our goldens received a small battle wound around his eye from rough rousing with our other golden. Angelica monitored him closely and updated us regularly with pictures. We personally do not like putting the responsibility to watch an injured pup on another person, so my husband came back a day early. It truly wasn’t necessary because Angelica did a fabulous job keeping an eye on him and ensuring he did not over exert himself. She even brought over an interactive toy to keep our kitten entertained!! We will absolutely be booking her services again!!
Christian was great! She was very transparent with her schedule and when she was needing to leave the house for just a little. She took great care of my baby Diesel. He was very happy in all the pictures she sent and he definitely seemed like he was well cared for and loved while we were away. She also followed all of my strict training instructions perfectly! I’d recommend her to anyone!
Heather was absolutely amazing and took such great care of both my dogs and my home! She kept me updated throughout her stay, sent plenty of photos of the pups, and made sure I always knew how they were doing. I felt completely reassured and comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was responsible, caring, and attentive, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and home!
Suzanne was wonderful with our lab, Dixie! From the moment she arrived for the meet and greet, her love for animals was evident and her professionalism impressive. Suzanne was attentive to detailed instructions, asked pertinent questions, and clearly had Dixie’s welfare in mind at all times. And when there were last minute plan changes, Suzanne was ON IT!!!…..she was patient and flexible, always willing to ensure Dixie received the best care possible. Her daily updates and praise for our girl put our minds at ease, knowing that Dixie had the love and affection she craves. What more could you ask for?!?!?! Suzanne was a WIN for everyone and we won’t hesitate to use her in the future! Thanks again, Suzanne!!!!!!
Puppy Simmons, in particular, was more cooperative than i expected, largely due to Kristle kind and caring demeanor. Luna Simmons, in contrast will accept anyone who will scratch her. We have already asked if Kristle would consider house-sitting again with our two fur babies, and she said "yes"
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
