“This was our first house sit with Katelyn and I will definitely be rebooking. She took care of my large dog, 2 cats and home as if they were her own. 10/10 definitely recommend Katelyn.”
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!
“I'm thrilled to share that our experience with Tamara as our dog sitter was fantastic! Over the 4 days and nights, the dogs were taken care of but also radiantly happy. It's evident they received top-notch care and attention. Highly recommend Tamara for a worry-free pet sitting experience. We will be using her for further dog-sitting needs.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!
“My husband and I would highly recommend Victoria to care for your pets. She came for a meet and greet for our 3 dogs and made each one feel comfortable and both Zack and I felt at ease leaving our dogs and our home in her care while we were away. Victoria texted us both with updates, sent pictures and videos! We needed a sitter last minute and we are lucky to have found such a great and honest sitter to watch and care for our dogs and our home. We will use her again anytime we leave!”
“I am beyond grateful to have found Lauren as my pet sitter! Moving to Austin recently, I was feeling a little nervous about finding someone I could trust with my three fur babies—two dogs and a cat—but Lauren immediately put my mind at ease. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and showed so much love to each of them, which was so important to me. Throughout my time away, Lauren kept me updated with adorable pictures and messages, which really made me feel connected to my pets and reassured me that they were in great hands. She was also very respectful of my home, ensuring everything was just as I left it. Lauren’s warm, caring nature and professionalism truly made this experience stress-free, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future. If you're looking for a reliable and loving sitter for your pets, I can't recommend Lauren enough!”
“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

About: Hi! I’m Xarissa Alexsondra (legal name Corissa)—please call me Alexsondra. I specialize in cats and also welcome calm, low-energy dogs who only need short potty walks, plus small pets like snakes or fish. I’m available for long-term stays of three weeks or longer only (shorter gigs aren’t a fit). As a person on the autistic spectrum, I feel most at ease with cats and quiet, predictable pets. I’m naturally attuned to body language and individual quirks, and I stay calm and consistent with the routines many cats and introverted dogs prefer. I may seem a bit reserved with new people at first—please be patient. Your pets will get my full, focused attention. I grew up with multiple dogs and cats and have experience with fish, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs, chickens, quail, and ducks. I’m comfortable with cage cleaning, daily feline and canine routines, and the small details that keep animals comfortable. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you’ll always know how your pets are doing. I’m reliable, observant, and happiest in the company of cats, calm dogs, and the occasional snake. I’m a homebody with a part-time job that takes me out of the house for 5–8 hours on just one or two days a week. The rest of the week I’m home all day with the cats, or I may step out for a short excursion and then return for the remainder of the day. This rhythm lets me provide calm, consistent care and stick to the quiet routines most cats prefer. I only accept long-term stays of three weeks or longer. I understand the trust it takes to leave your home and pets with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. You’ll receive detailed photo updates so you always know how everyone is doing. I care for cats in the client’s home only (I do not board pets in my own space). One of the strengths of being autistic is that I follow clear, straightforward instructions with high precision and consistency. Tell me exactly how you want feeding, litter, medication, play, and any other routines handled, and I will stick to them closely. I’m naturally attuned to feline body language and stay calm and steady, which many cats prefer. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and focused on keeping your cats comfortable and secure.
“Brittany was absolutely incredible! She looked after our pups and our home perfectly while we were away. Her communication was stellar, we loved getting the daily picture updates, which gave us total peace of mind. We returned home to very happy, relaxed dogs and a perfectly clean house. Brittany is reliable, trustworthy, and a true professional. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Kiara was awesome at communicating with us and sent us photos of our babies every day. We were so worried about putting our pets in a boarding house because one of our pets would have just not been able to handle the change well. Rover.com was a lifesaver and Kiara was amazing with our pets. She even came over before we left on vacation to meet our pets. Overall we are extremely happy with the service we received.”
“Julia is awesome. Very communicative and attentive. She shared a lot of updates with me and was very flexible. I came home with a happy kitty and a home in great condition. Thanks Julia!”
“This was the second time Alexandra took care of our dogs and cat. Both times she took excellent care of our pets. She provided updates and included pictures. Would book with her again.”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs—whether my own or those belonging to neighbors and friends; I feed them, walk them, and attend to their needs. I currently have a full schedule available, so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, take them for walks, and keep them company. I am available for boarding on weekends and during the week starting at 9:00 a.m. The care takes place in my home, which is very safe, warm, and peaceful; there is a park nearby for taking long walks. where you can feel very comfortable and at ease

“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.”
“Andrea (Ash) is a terrible Rover. Definitely don't hire her...... That way she'll always be available for my Cocoa when we need her. Okay, being serious now....if and when we ever need another Rover for our baby, you can rest assured we will be desperately trying get her again - she was wonderful with Cocoa and very with us. You could see it in the pictures. Cocoa was happy and loved while we were gone. We have been reluctant to take any trips because we aren't comfortable leaving our baby. But with Andrea, we both felt assured that she was in great hands. We will actually be much more likely to take trips if we can get Andrea to be our Rover in the future!”
About: I've had dogs by my side for 20 plus years. I've cared for scared rescues, seniors, puppies, and high energy fosters. I've potty trained dogs and got my 2 doing a series of tricks. I understand the gentle confidence of the alpha helps dogs trust. My two are good with other dogs and have both been boarded with others and had others in our care. I've got a doggie door and fenced yard with squirrels for entertainment. I've got a nice 3 mile nature loop for walks. Dogs...I love them. I'd be glad to put your mind at ease and have yours hang with my pack. I work from home and have ultimate flexibility at the moment so I can walk dogs on your schedule and adapt to your needs. I don't leave the home for more than a couple hours for errands when I'm sitting. If your needs require something different, I am able to be flexible. We have a doggie door here and an ample fenced yard. I also have 2 other small dogs to keep yours company and play along with. I sometime book two families at once. If one of the dog families is a repeat client, and I have confidence the mix will work, your dog may get an extra playmate or two. If you are uncomfortable with that possibility, just let me know so I don't double book. Because I care for many dogs, please be sure your pups are up to date on their flea treatments to ensure we keep the environment comfortable for all who pass through.

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.
<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 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!

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.

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.
