“We had an amazing experience with our Katelyn! She took exceptional care of our pups and kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When one of our dogs went on a food strike, she didn't panic and she thought outside the box, found a solution that worked, and kept us informed every step of the way. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We came home to two happy pups and a well cared for home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Layla and Gracie were very meticulous while caring for our three dogs and house for four days/nights while we were away. Reliable, responsive, and responsible. We appreciated the photos and look forward to their next stay.”
About: I understand that we live in a busy world so when you book me I make sure to treat your dog(s) like my own! I always feel accomplished when I bring a dog home that has been worn out, and I'm always patient with dogs that are not so easy on walks (big dogs, reactive dogs, dogs who are anxious and dont really like walks). I have lived in Austin for 22 years and I am familiar with many neighborhoods and parks so I am able to take your pup on longer, more mentally stimulating walks rather than just walking around the same block again and again! I appreciate you choosing me to spend time with your pup(s) and I'm am excited to explore Austin with your fur babies!
About: Can guarantee your fur baby will be treated as my own while in my care and have lots of loving and playing time. I go on walks daily in our neighborhood we have beautiful trails that range up to 3 miles, a dog park to play fetch and a pond with lots of wildlife for sightseeing. They will definitely get lots of cuddles from me around the clock since I’m working from home, I have a 3 YO friendly Doberman who loves having company and playing with in the backyard. I have experience sitting, walking and dropping in on family/friends pets and also local neighbors. Please reach out if you have any questions ☺️ I work from home full time during the week and can drop in if needed to at your house to let the dog out and for feeds. Evenings and weekends hours vary so please reach out for more info. I live in a great neighborhood that is very dog friendly filled with trails, a dog park and a pond with wildlife walking around it. My yard is a good sized for my Doberman to run around in and fenced. I have 2 older children who love dogs as much as I do to give extra loving. My Doberman is friendly and is the only one in this house so he gets excited to be able to play with new friends.
“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: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I haven't just grown up with dogs and cats; I also have a Labrador of my own. I go beyond the basics – outdoor walks, running sessions, ball games for dogs, and interactive "mouse" chasing for cats. When permitted, I provide nutritious homemade meals for that extra tender loving care. Offering a personalized touch, I ensure furry friends receive love, attention, and ample playtime. Sharing joyful moments through pictures with the owners, I keep pet parents reassured and their pets content. Your fur babies are in caring hands! I currently work from home, providing me with a highly flexible schedule. I am available for pet care during early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I am also available overnight for the most part. For the house sitting service, I create a safe and trustworthy environment as a pet sitter. My two-story house, coupled with a spacious backyard, ensures ample space for pets. There are also nearby walking sites in the neighborhood. My Labrador, Kano, is sociable and enjoys the company of small dogs in my home. Your pets will feel comfortable and welcomed in this pet-friendly space.
“Probably one of the most communicative and understanding sitters we've ever had and I'm SO thankful! Especially when our last potential sitter backed out on us last minute and I was scrambling to find someone to cover all my senior animals and stay at my house with just a week notice. So thankful Rev could be that person! He and his fiance took great care of our babies and they put the house back just as they found it before they left. There were a few little communication errors but seriously no big deal and I'll just make sure my instructions are clearer next time. Rev really loves animals and that's so important in a sitter. Your babies will be in good hands. Thank you!”
“Michelle stayed with Luna for a week, and she took care of both our dog and our house beautifully. I think our house is in better shape than when we left it! Michelle kept us updated with messages and pictures while we were away. Awesome pet-sitter!”
“Gayle was great! Stayed with my senior dog for several days. Sent regular updates and left my apartment cleaner than it was when I left! She will be a great sitter for your baby!”
“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!!”

“Lillian (Ruthie) took such loving care of my li'l girl Sadie! This was my first time leaving her since a cross country move, and Ruthie helped keep Sadie's routine consistent while giving her a quiet, comfortable environment. She was also wonderfully communicative, trustworthy, and caring. Thank you, Ruthie, and we look forward to having you out again!”

“Aaron was the best dog sitter I could have ever asked for. As a trusted pet sitter myself, I wanted someone who would care for my dogs the way I would care for others pets. Aaron exceeded my expectations! I have 3 large dogs and 2 of them have mobility/neurologic issues. He made sure everyone had their meds, communicated constantly, checked in on them multiple times a day, and notified me immediately if anyone was having issues. It’s such a huge relief knowing my pets were in good hands! I don’t even think my pets missed me all that much with Aaron watching them. ☺️”
“Tanzi watched both of our dogs, and our 2 rabbits over the New Year’s holiday. Tanzi had excellent communication, left our home in great condition and even ran a load of laundry for us. We are grateful we found such an awesome pet sitter to look after our little homestead while we are gone.”

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 Butler 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 Butler 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 Butler 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.
