“Suzanne was wonderful! She was very communicative, punctual, kind, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I also really appreciated the thoughtful card she left for me, it was such a sweet personal touch. I would definitely recommend Suzanne and would happily book her again! ❤️🐾”
“Celeste was amazing. She connected with our pups (especially our trouble maker puppy 😀) and communicated frequently with us regarding how they were doing while we were away. Would definitely use her again to watch our pups.”
“Keyla was wonderful with my golden retriever Freja. She let me know when she was there and took pictures to show how happy Freja was with her. When I got home Freja was happy as can be and not stressed that I had been gone for the weekend.”
“Rebecca took our last minute booking to watch our Ralphie after another sitter cancelled the day before our trip. She came by for a meet & greet within hours and we were relieved to see how our pup and Rebecca got along from the start! As for the stay, Rebecca arrived at our house on time and was great about keeping us updated. When we came home, our house was clean and she even washed any dishes she used - it was so nice to see that Ralphie was happy and our house was how we left it! We definitely recommend Rebecca for your pet sittting needs in the East Bay.”
“Ava was communicative & accommodating throughout the weekend! She informed me when there was a family matter that came up and communicated a plan with me to cover a day when needed. My flight was delayed and pushed a day back which led to me getting back late and Ava offered to care for my pets that morning as well.”
“Charlotte was fantastic with our 2 dogs. She stayed at our home and was very respectful and clean. The dogs were so happy. She gave them all her attention. Will definitely rebook with her.”
“We used Alejandra for the first time this weekend. She was kind, polite and engaged. She made sure she understood our dogs' needs and as well as our expectations. She was flexible and responsive and left our home exactly as she found it. We will certainly be using her again for future trips!”
“Kali was wonderful with Ares! She arrived on time, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and made sure he ate and stayed active with a couple naps in between. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, keeping me informed the whole time. Overall, a great experience and we truly appreciate her care! 🩵”
About: As a child I inherited my mother’s absolute adoration for dogs. We always had several at a time having loved them all to the fullest. Have plenty experience with dogs of all ages including puppies, and elderly! I specialize in dogs with anxiety, as well as high energy dogs. I work in the mornings, so ideally I’d be able to walk them before work, and then spend evenings with them! Whether that is just a walk or quality time! Making sure that they have all their needs met is incredibly important. Giving them time to eat, play, and relax. Also cleaning up after pets.
About: My family and I have fostered dogs for years. That experience has taught me how to handle everything from nervous rescues to higher energy pups with patience and love. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. My job is hybrid so I’m in office 2 days a week but my work is flexible so there’s always room for adjustments. I care for pets in their own homes to help them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Animals that love to cuddle or play go hand in hand with my personality.
“Dekontee is wonderful! So gracious to accept a last minute booking and she was so kind to both Butters and Tato! Both pets were so calm and comfortable upon my return! I look forward to booking with Dekontee again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years. I have animals of my own and family and friends can rely on me to help watch their animals. I’m off every Monday-Wednesdays so it’s convenient to watch animals during the weekdays. However I do have a roomate that could help out as well. I live in a large neighborhood, perfect for walks or runs. I also have space for animals to play inside and I live close to a few trails I can take the dog(s) there as well.
“Isabella was fantastic! She took very good care of our Lacey and we felt very good about having her at the house. She was very good at communication and super helpful overall, I would definitely recommend her.”
“Parker was INCREDIBLE! My sitter backed out last minute and Parker stepped in on short notice. So easy to communicate with and truly cared for my dogs as if they were his own. I 100% recommend and plan to ask Parker to watch my dogs in the future.”
About: I am pretty lucky to have my own business and a pretty flexible schedule. So coming up with times that works for the both of us will be the easy part. I understand trusting your fur baby with someone else even for just an hour walk can be nerve wrecking. But I can assure you I will do my best to make sure they feel safe and also have a fun time. From watching over cats to even watching a cow for a friend, being around animals is something that I enjoy. Having to give medication to dogs, picking up after them, and letting all their energy out are things I am quite familiar with and have no problem doing. I hope by seeing my profile you feel confident that I can be a good fit for a one time booking, or becoming your regular Rover user! Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! -Celina. I am self employed with a food truck and currently in my slow season and would love a part time job to keep busy. Therefore I have a very open and flexible schedule, when my busy season picks back up I will adjust my schedule. Even then I will still have time for clients and will be available. As someone who has dogs and has always had animals growing up I’m aware of how important exercise, time, and affection is to them and us! My Australian shepherd Pepper needs lots of time to let her energy out and keep her mind stimulated so I’m well trained in those departments. As well as administering medications if needed.
About: I’ve grown up with pets in my home at all times, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, helped with basic dog training, and gained hands-on experience pet sitting for many furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or daily care, I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to keeping pets happy and safe. I am a student, so I’m in class Monday–Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Outside of school hours, I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m extremely loving and always put each pet’s needs first. I provide attentive care, plenty of affection, and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Rio
Jessica was absolutely amazing with the cats! She spent so much time with them and was very on top of updating us with pictures and anecdotes. We felt very at ease with the babies in her hands. She also left the house exactly as she found it — even cleaned the sheets. Definitely above and beyond!
Our Priya loves Shawnna and she cannot wait to see her every time we travel. Shawnna is extremely caring and responsive. She takes our girl on long walks, plays with her in the park and gives her so much love. She also takes care of the pawrents as well. She maintains us informed always, she’s very accommodating and sweet. We love having her as Priya’s caretaker when we go out of town or on trips. You can tell Priya loves her too very much!
Jesse took amazing care of James while I was away and also took very good care of my apartment as well. She was super responsive and constantly gave me updates on how my child was doing. I would 100% book her again and recommend everyone who is looking for pet care to book her as well!
We can’t recommend Angela enough! We hired her in a pinch before a trip, and she was so accommodating and easy to work with. She took amazing care of our dogs, loved on them like they were her own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We even came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left! She truly went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be using her again.
Victoria was amazing during the stay with our dogs. She followed our instructions and was great at communicating and sending picture updates! She is very skilled which eased our minds as we were away for a few days. We would definitely book again in the future !
Victoria was an incredible sitter for our pups!! She was great with communication, and sent us so many pictures of the pups having a great time! Upon leaving, she wrote us the sweetest note and got the pups little toys 🥹. Victoria kept our place super clean, which was a nice to come back to especially after a long day of travel! Looking forward to having her with the pups again!! Would highly recommended 😊
Alina was absolutely fantastic overnight with my Sadie!!! Sadie has some GI and joint issues and Alina was wonderful about accommodating everything and sending me tons of photos!!! She even sent me a photo of Sadie’s food so I could verify she had all her supplements!! As an anxious dog mom she made me feel very at ease and I will 100% be using her again!!
Kristina was great! Her first time staying with the dogs and she was able to manage both my large dog (who is apprehensive with people) and small dog (who requires medication including insulin). The house looked better than when we left it and both dogs were happy and well taken care of. We will be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Del Rio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Del Rio is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $67 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 4,473 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Del Rio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Del Rio 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 Del Rio 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 Del Rio 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.
