If you're looking for a sitter or drop in visits/ walks I'm available with a flexible schedule to suit your needs! My care is not limited to dogs and cats, if you have other animals that need attention I can most likely provide that service for you, just ask! I will treat your animals in the same way I'd hope mine would be treated! When you book with me you can rest assured that every detail no matter how small will be taken care of. You will receive a visit summary that includes lots of pictures, and specific details about how the visit went. I pride myself on providing the best care possible, with all the love and attention to your pets and respect for you and your pets home.
“Trevor was such a great sitter for our labradoodle, Odin. From the start his communication was consistent, clear and he included plenty of updates and pictures. We have our dog on a pretty consistent schedule and Trevor was able to accommodate to everything. We appreciate Trevor and know Odin loved having him with him! Can’t recommend Trevor enough.”

“Ashley stayed at our house for a week over Thanksgiving and took care of our 3 dogs, barn cats and large animals (cows and donkeys). She communicated with us daily and sent pictures. Took care of our deliveries, etc. I highly recommend her! She treated them like family, and I think they liked her so much that I may have even sensed a bit of disappointment in them when we got home! :D”
About: Grew up around all different kinds of animals from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I love animals and I know how important it is to make sure they’re being taken care of while they aren’t with their humans! I’m a contract pilot in the central Texas area so I make my own schedule, and I have tons of flexibility! I live with a roommate and we have three dogs. I live on 20 acres in the hill country with a roommate. We have three very sweet dogs that love to run and play in our yard!
“Thank you Denae for sitting with Sebastian and Zena on such short notice! We had to attend a funeral out of town and Denea was able to keep our two furry babies and house sit while we were gone. We really appreciated it!”
About: Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. I’ve worked as an animal keeper at The Maryland Zoo, volunteered in herpetology at the National Aquarium, and worked with wildlife conservation organizations internationally. I also care for four dogs, two cats, and 15 other animals at home. My experience includes animal behavior, nutrition, husbandry, enrichment, and specialized care for domestic and exotic species. I offer pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to each animal’s needs, including exercise, feeding, enrichment, and companionship. My schedule includes conservation and wildlife filmmaking projects, allowing me to coordinate pet care around my availability. I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and professionalism I’ve developed throughout my career. Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally.

Animal care is already a major part of my daily routine.

My schedule offers flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I coordinate bookings to ensure every animal receives the attention and care they deserve. I care for other people’s pets with the same attention and consideration I give my own animals. My professional experience in zoological facilities has taught me the importance of preventative care, recognizing changes in behavior, maintaining clean environments, and understanding the individual needs of every animal. Safety always comes first. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament, routines, dietary requirements, and any medical or behavioral considerations before providing care. I believe patience, calm handling, and positive reinforcement are essential to building trust with animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all provided instructions, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets are properly supervised and comfortable. I also prioritize communication and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their animals are doing well.

“Kaylin is the quintessential pet and house sitter! She was excellent. Her communication was superb (pics, videos and updates several times a day). She looked after my home incredibly well, and my dog Bindi liked her straight away! She went above and beyond with regards to house sitting and pet sitting, which I appreciated. I have already booked her again, and will do so again in the future!”


“She was great at providing me daily updates during the in-home sitting. I could tell from the pics that my dog was comfortable and happy. I would definitely use her again to stay with my dog if I need it in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel

“This was our first time using a house/dog sitter. Sherri did a wonderful job in everything. She was friendly and professional. Her rapport with our puppy was immediate. We felt comfortable that he was being well cared for. Sherri kept us well informed while we were away. Her detailed notes were very helpful. It was clear from our dog's behavior on our return that this was a pleasant experience for him. We will definitely call on Sherri again when we need exceptional dog sitting.”

About: I've been an animal owner, caregiver, and caretaker since I was very young and would love the opportunity to give your pet an A+ experience while you're away! I am currently getting my masters degree online, so I have ample time to take care of your pets during the morning, daytime, and evening. I always confer with the owner about their preferences and daily routine, and try to match that as best I can. I am very gentle with animals especially when getting to know them.
“Kate was incredible ! Always provided updates and photos and communicates really well. She also may have left our place cleaner than it was when we left! She’s awesome! Highly recommend!!”

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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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.

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.
