“Michelle was wonderful with our little scaredy cat, Ninja. She actually was able to get some photos of her and saw her a few times. Usually the sitters never see her. Ninja was much calmer when we got home than previous trips. Knowing that Michelle is watching our furbaby really helped us relax on our trip. We will certainly use her again!!”

“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! :)”

“We cannot say enough about Miss Ariel! The boys are always so well taken care of and we have no worries when we are gone. Not only are our pets taken care of but we know she is cognizant of whats happening with the house, the weather, this time she checked in with me about maybe needing to adjust the thermostat since a cold front had arrived plus we didnt miss trash day because she took care of that too! Thank you for the piece of mind and stress free care you always guve us! We love having you as our best pet provider, you've been the best we've found in Texas, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico!!”

“We were so pleased with Ellie’s first weekend dropping in to feed and play with our boxer Sadie that we booked her for housesitting for five nights later in the summer. Sadie warmed to her quickly, and we returned to a happy, healthy doggie. She was on time every time and sent photos every visit. Absolutely no problems.”

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.

About: I have a big heart for all animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, bunnies, chinchillas, and more, and I can't imagine life without pets around. I'm bonded and insured, and I provide loving, personal care in Buda, Kyle, and South Austin: in-home visits during the day, neighborhood and park walks, day hikes, and overnight stays while you're out of town. For dogs, I make sure they get the attention, play, and exercise they need. I'm an avid hiker and walker, so your dog's outings are never an afterthought. For cats, I have many years of experience with my own, and I can handle feeding, litter box cleaning, and plenty of playtime. I also have experience giving medications and caring for dogs with physical limitations, dogs recovering from surgery, and reactive or fearful dogs. Every new client starts with a free meet and greet, so I can learn what makes your pet tick before we begin. Walks, wags, and all the love in between. :) Pet care is my full-time work and my passion, so I'm available all days of the week and can fit in your pet's schedule. I plan my day around my clients' pets, with visits and walks scheduled in time windows throughout the day, plus [longer outings or day hikes] when your dog needs more exercise. I take a small number of overnight guests at a time so everyone gets my attention, and I'm happy to make a plan for holidays and travel dates. Send me a message with the dates you need, and I'll get back to you quickly. In my home: Boarding is small and personal, with a limited number of dogs at a time, never a crowded kennel. Dogs have a fenced yard for potty breaks and play, and we have a park and dog park close by for walks. Before any stay, I ask for a full behavior history, and dogs only mix with others if their owners consent. In your home: I follow your routine for feeding, medications, and house rules, and I lock up securely when I leave. I'll tell you right away if I notice anything unusual, and I'll send a photo or update after each visit. On walks: Dogs stay on leash unless you've given me written permission for time in a fenced dog park, and I only choose routes that suit your dog's fitness and temperament. Trust: I'm bonded and insured, and every new client starts with a free meet and greet. I use a written service agreement that includes an emergency vet authorization, so if something happens, I can get your pet care quickly and contact you right away.

About: Hi, my name is Tracey and I’m a cat owner to my two baby boys Milo & Squirt! I am also a big dog lover and sometimes care for my friend’s and family’s dogs when they are in need. I’ve pretty much been around cats and dogs my whole life and have so much love for them. I currently have full availability to spend as much time going on walks, providing care, cleaning, checking in, and sitting. I also use dog waste baggies for dog walks and will also take care of any litter boxes that need scooping or refilling. I am also trained on administering pills for both dogs and cats if needed. I am always respectful of property and willing to help in any way I can. I will always provide pictures and arrive in a timely manner. Keeping your pet safe and secure is my ultimate goal. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time and availability to suit your needs. I’m available any day of the week at any time. I can easily let your dog let out for potty breaks on a leash while going for a walk or in your backyard with no problem. If you need your pet put back into a kennel, I can also do that as well. I usually give my own cats a treat time once a day to keep them occupied so if that is something you’d want me to do for yours, please let me know!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets since I was a kid. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own—an energetic Husky and a sweet Aussie Doodle we rescued. I work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to be attentive and present with your pets. I’m looking for a part-time opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with animals is at the top of that list! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I’d love to be that person for you. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work remotely, so I'm home throughout the day to provide attention, walks, playtime, and affection. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily care for other pets around my own dogs’ needs. Whether it’s early morning walks or midday check-ins, I can adapt based on the pet’s routine. When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routines. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully I’m mindful of things like secure leashing, feeding schedules, and medications—trust and transparency are essential for me in every pet-sitting experience.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!

About: **I do rover in Gig Harbor and Austin, depending where I’m at (WFH perk!)** Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 12 years. I have cared for two wonderful dogs of my own—a small dog named Gunner and a Chocolate Lab named Jeter—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve become comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, potty breaks, medication, or simply someone nearby to keep them company, I can be there. For house sitting, I can bring my work setup with me so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while still receiving lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I’m able to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day, providing regular walks, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of supervision. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a calm companion to relax with, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, loving care and lots of affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Buda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buda is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,265 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 .

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 , 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
