“Rose was wonderful! Her check ins were on schedule and she provided lots of photos and comments that put my mind at ease. My shy little Chihuahua is very comfortable with her. She will be my go to from now on!”
“Whitney went above and beyond while taking care of our two dogs (one large and one small). Not only did she give them everything they needed (affection, walks, food and treats) she also cleaned up our kitchen which was so thoughtful. Whitney clearly loves animals and would highly recommend her.”
“Michelle was great and we’ll definitely ask her to drop in on our dog again! Our dog is very scared and skiddish so she barks at new people a lot. Michelle was so patient and understanding with her. It’s hard to leave her in the hands of someone else because we know she’s complicated, but we were put at ease with Michelle. Our dog was able to warm up to her after Michelle’s interactions with lots of treats and love. Thank you, Michelle!!”
“Suzanne and Tyler are so loving and caring with our dogs. They’re attentive and thoughtful and absolutely reliable! We appreciate them so much and will definitely book their services again!”
“Juliana is wonderful, with the animals and with communication. She gives great updates with pictures and I always feel confident my fur babies are taken care of when she’s with them. Highly recommend her 🫶”
“Tracy was great at watching out two cats! I reached out to her due to her profile being more cat forward than most sitters on Rover being more dog focused. We recently adopted a new shelter baby that we had to keep separated from our long term 13 year old cat due to them fighting and stalking each other so we already had our hands full before leaving town that we had to hand off to Tracy. She handled both cats with such care taking the time to give each of them the attention they needed and giving extra love to our new cat after realizing that he really needed it. She even made an emergency visit due to him knocking his cat tree into his litter box, which was so appreciated! I'd definitely hire Tracy again for our cats needs next time we're out of town and fingers crossed they're both together and friends by then! :)”
“Booked last minute and they were so responsive and flexible with the scheduling. Sent great pictures and can tell our dog was in excellent hands with Jillian and Clayton. Will absolutely book again!!”
About: My lifelong devotion to animals spans decades, beginning at age 7 when I rescued ducklings and extending through a lifetime of loving diverse companions. What sets me apart is the sheer breadth of my hands-on background. Over the years, I have personally owned and shared my life with a wide spectrum of breeds—including a Belgian Shepherd, Staffordshire Terrier, Blue Heeler, and a Miniature Schnauzer. Because I am entirely unphased by size, distinct instinctual traits, or high energy levels, I am uniquely equipped to adapt to your dog's specific personality and look after them exactly as they are. As a self-paced online college student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Because I can study from anywhere, I can easily adapt my routine to fit your pet's needs right in the comfort of their own home. Whether I am house sitting or dropping in for a visit, your pet will get plenty of companionship. For dogs who love to lounge, I am happy to provide all the couch snuggles and belly rubs they can handle—they make the perfect study breaks for me! If they need 100% undivided attention or an active companion for a structured neighborhood walk, I am fully available. My care and deep respect extend to all family members, including independent felines—having raised both a Persian and a Maine Coon. I am also uniquely comfortable with a wide variety of animals. When you trust me to care for your home and your pets, you are getting a seasoned, versatile caretaker who honors your exact routine, respects every unique boundary, and treats your animals like family. As a self-paced online college student, my day is incredibly flexible, allowing me to fully prioritize your pet's routine. Because my coursework does not tie me down to rigid class times, I am available throughout the day for house sitting and drop-in care. I can easily adjust my schedule to align with your pet's established walking, feeding, and potty break times, ensuring they experience zero disruption while you are away. Safety and respect for boundaries are the foundations of my care. When staying in your home or dropping in, my first priority is securing the environment by ensuring doors, gates, and windows are locked tight. I closely follow all instructions regarding dietary restrictions, feeding schedules, and household rules. Because every animal communicates differently, I pay close attention to body language to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. Whether it means keeping a young pup's training routine perfectly consistent or knowing exactly where a timid cat likes to hide when meeting someone new, I manage your home and your pets with the utmost vigilance and care.
About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.
“Christian is an amazing sitter. I had her come in for my first drop in for my two French bull dogs. Not only did my dogs immediately take to her calm demeanor, she got right down on the floor to greet them. One of my dogs is a bit picky and sometimes won’t eat. Christian hand fed her as I had instructed if she was not eating by herself. Both my dogs were happy and well taken care of. I ABSOLUTELY will rebook again when needed. Thank You Christian for being a Great and Amazing Dog Sitter!!”
“Julia is the best! She’s been regularly taking care of my Great Dane puppy (who can be a bit of a handful) for the past year and is absolutely phenomenal! Julia’s very friendly, trustworthy, reliable, patient, and caring. I can tell she treats my dog with the same compassion and love she gives to her pets at home! We love having Julia in our home!”
“Christa was absolutely amazing with our animals. I ended having my flight cancelled and couldn’t get home for almost three extra days, Christa was very understanding and made sure our babies were taken care of until I go home. Highly recommend!!! ☺️”
“Julie is a top notch cat sitter! In addition to giving my cats the love and play that they need, Julie sends me updates and pictures with every visit, which makes being a way much less stressful. Highly recommend!”
“Page took great care of my dog, Willow! This was Willow’s first Rover experience and I can tell she was very well taken care of which puts my mind at ease. I will definitely be booking with Page again in the future!”

All three of my cats adore Alex, and she is a true animal lover. But today, the day after I returned from a trip, I am especially appreciative because my elder queen cat (age 15) has been sick and thanks to Alex's attention to detail, excellent communication and loving TLC, this kitty Pinky is actually better than I have seen her in weeks (if not months). I attribute this partly to our excellent vet who has worked with us on treatment--but Alex's part is crucial and made all the difference. We really appreciate Alex!
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! 🐾😊
Whit took such great care of our cat, Purrky! He showered him with so much love, attention, playtime, and treats, and carefully followed all the instructions we left. Whit also kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos from every visit, which we really appreciated. It honestly gave us so much peace of mind knowing Purrky was in such good hands. Highly recommend Whit as a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! ✅
highly recommend working with Diane. I absolutely love her. She’s very loving she’s caring. She just made me feel at ease while I was away for Business. I love the time that she invested with my cats and I would recommend her to any animal lover. Thank you, Diane.
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.
Kathleen took care of 3 cats for about two weeks while we were out of the country. She was so great with our babies and intuitive to their needs and wants. She spent time playing with them every day, took great care cleaning their litter boxes, and overall we are so happy with her services. She will be our go to sitter anytime we need help and we are so thankful to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone! THANK YOU KATHLEEN! I know our fur babies will be missing you!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Buda on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,215 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buda. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
