“Matthew is great with dogs! Has experience and established an easy report with our seven-year-old rescue dog, Hank. Appreciated his care and the great photos he sent. Great!”
“Got lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire time! William is great and cared for our our 85lb high energy boy and our 45lb old man with no issues. Highly recommend for your babies care!”
“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Nichole is really wonderful to work with - friendly, professional, flexible, responsible, and communicative. Super grateful for her last minute support :)”
“Nikole has done a wonderful job watching our two pups! She follows instructions well, spends time with the dogs, and sends regular updates. We will be using her pup watching services as often as we can. Highly recommend Nikole to watch your furry babies.”
“Meg was great! She was very patient with Ace and handled his silly antics. It was a last minute booking and Meg was very accommodating. She took the time to get to know Ace before the booked sitting, which was greatly appreciated. She sent frequent updates and pictures. Im definitely booking Meg again!”
“Alex was great! The dogs were certainly well taken care of and he was great at providing updates throughout. The house was clean when we came back as well and all asks completely followed. Thanks!”
“Jenn did a great job. She walked Cooper everyday and played with him a lot while she stayed at my home. This was the first time I had left him here while I traveled (13 days) and I felt very safe with her. She communicated daily including pictures.”
About: This is my first time pet sitting professionally. I had a medium schnauzer-mix for 17 years, he crossed the rainbow bridge 2.5 years ago and I miss him dearly. I love animals and often wish I had one of my own but I feel I am still grieving my furever love. I'm seeking PT work and figured pet sitting could be very fulfilling in more ways than financially. I am an independent contractor, licensed massage therapist by day. I'm looking to sit evenings, check in and walks during the day. My schedule can be flexible depending on the week. Please leave detailed instructions as to your pets routine and needs in your space and I can accommodate them. I do not offer services in my own home.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samuel was fantastic! He stayed overnight, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures throughout our trip. He was especially patient and understanding with our new puppy, who is very shy and fearful around new people. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and will definitely book with Samuel again. Highly recommend!”
“Kellie did great with my older dog Lolly (who is a fur factory) and our little Watson (who needs / wants to snuggle all the time). Thanks Kellie for taking such good care of the dogs.”
“Wow, I can not believe the great job that she did and will definitely be using her services again. I was left a little in a predicament when another sitter backed out in me just 3 days before I was supposed to be gone for a week. Denise answered my last minute plea for help and we did a meet and greet with the animals. She did a great job taking care of them and I am sure they will miss her especially Coco, who she always took on walks. I highly recommend her.”
“Liz is AMAZING. My sweet rescue pup is a little anxious and jumpy, but Liz was so patient and gentle with her and gave her time to feel comfortable. And things went great! Liz sent photos and updates and left my house better than I left it. I could not be happier.”
“Eric was a great dog sitter! He was prompt with his communication… He sent pictures and updated us regularly on our dogs. We have three large breed dogs, with one of them being a puppy… And he was great with them!! we came home to an orderly home… and happy pups!”
“Dora was amazing with my pups for house sitting! She kept me updated throughout my time away and sent plenty of pictures. She went above and beyond with everything. Thank you again!”
“Our second time using Laurie and she was awesome again. We got an email about a possible water leak and she was able to investigate and check all the important areas for us. Very responsive! Thank you again for taking care of our pups and house!”
“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”
About: Hey there! I’m a current student at UTSA with 5 years of experience in dog walking & pet sitting for friends and family. I have two dogs named Chaos and Riot (standard/pocket bully mix from the same litter!) and a blind cat named Francis (American Wirehair), so I’m pretty well versed in caring for both types of pets! I have also had many pets before them (some of which required medical care) so I have experience administering medication. Though I’m a full time student, I have plenty of breaks available in my day to check on your pet and make sure they get all the play time and love that they need! I’m also an active runner, so if you’re dog loves running I’d love to take them with me! I can’t wait to meet your precious pets! I'm a full-time student at UTSA and work part-time, but I still have plenty of time for pet care on weekdays and weekends! Here is my availability for dog walking and check-ins. Mondays & Wednesdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Tuesdays & Thursdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Fridays: Morning & Afternoon: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Saturdays & Sundays: Fully open & available all day! HOUSE SITTING: I am available for house sitting every night of the week! Please note that on weekdays, I will briefly step out during my daytime class & work hours, but I will always return during my scheduled time blocks listed above to feed, play with, and love on your pet! During housesitting, my goal is to maintain your pet's familiar environment and daily routine to minimize anxiety when you are away! I follow your feeding schedule, provide proper medical care (if applicable), and stick to my listed time blocks so pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time during the day. I keep your living space clean and secure, with the utmost respect, leaving the space exactly as I found it! I also send frequent photo and text updates so you can enjoy your peace of mind knowing that your pet is happy, relaxed, and safe! For check-ins or dog walking, I enter your home and greet your precious pets to ease any entry anxiety and check that their environment is safe and calm. I refill (and clean, if necessary) water bowls, and if requested, feed your pets the requested portions along with any oral medications. For cat drop-ins, I do a thorough daily scoop of the litter box and clean up any tracked litter. For pups, I immediately handle any accidents made during time unsupervised. Being well-versed in caring for both dogs and cats, in the many life stages, your pet will receive the best playtime (or chill time if that's their cup of tea!). As mentioned in my bio, I am an active runner, so if your pup loves to run, then we'd have a blast!
About: My flexible schedule ensures dedicated care in your home! With 10 years of sitting experience and a lifetime as a proud dog mom, I treat your pup like family. As a work from home professional with a flexible schedule, I integrate pet care seamlessly, giving your dog frequent potty breaks, loving attention, and daily walks. I strictly stick to their familiar routine, providing attentive in-home care, timely drop-ins, engaging walks, and endless affection to keep your dog comfortable and happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Castle Hills
Kayla is always our first choice for staying in our home when we are away. She not only provides excellent care for our two very needy pups, but also watering our outdoor plants. She is able to administer medication to our dog with a chronic health condition, and also encourage this picky girl to eat. Kayla provides updates and photos throughout the day, which is always reassuring. I highly recommend her for your overnight petsitting needs!
Miranda did an amazing job looking after our cat and house sitting. We were out of the country for a week and Miranda sent us daily updates and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed that our little baby was well looked after. I will definitely be requesting Miranda's services again!
Denise was fantastic! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. When we got home, it was obvious that Chevy had been well loved and well cared for. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Denise again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Amazing sitter! Meet & greet went well- she was thorough- asked good questions and was kind to the dogs and cat! The sit itself went wonderfully, she sent photos and we got home to a very tidy home with a clean litter box and clean dog bowls! We would definitely recommend and will work together again!
We had an unexpected situation come up right as we were leaving for Puerto Rico, and our original sitter canceled last minute. Thankfully, this amazing couple stepped in on very short notice and completely saved the trip for us. From day one, they were incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring. They made sure our dog was comfortable, stuck to his routine, and handled his medication perfectly. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while being away. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they look after, and that meant everything to us. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive sitters—we’ll definitely be booking with them again!
Sonya was SUPER sweet and attentive to my pups, I get super bad anxiety leaving my babies due to past experiences but with Sonya I didnt worry at all! My dogs are a pain and try and get away with everything so I'm very glad she knew exactly how to read my dogs!

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 Castle Hills 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 Castle Hills 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 Castle Hills 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.
