“My animals are always so happy after being under her care. She goes above and beyond every time. A storm blew through as well and she made sure everything was safe and secure. Highly recommend Estefany!”
“My intuition regarding Amy was spot on! She was wonderful; loving, caring and attentive to needs of my pets as well as mine. I was able to travel and enjoy my trip thanks to Amy. All was good while I was away, and at home when I arrived. I will CERTAINLY be hiring her again. Do not think twice in hiring her!!! Thank you Amy for EVERYTHING ?”
“Julia and Eric did a fantastic job watching our dogs in our home while we were on a short vacation. They are obviously professional “dog people “ and provided great care for our two dogs and our home while we were gone. They are great communicators and sent tons of photos and videos. We have had hit and miss experiences with some Rover sitters. Julia and Eric are definitely a hit and we would highly recommend their in home services.”
“Rebecca was so patient and helpful with our special needs dog. He suffers from bad anxiety, but Rebecca came over multiple times to make sure our guy gets to know her and is as comfortable as possible. We were also out of state and our guy got sick, which is my nightmare. Rebecca was super helpful in giving me information so I can coordinate with the vet and she picked up medicine and administered medicine for him; and luckily an emergency was avoided. I am bummed she moved out of state or else she would still be our go-to housesitter/dogsitter.”
“Katherine did it again! She was a house and puppy sitter for an entire week and was amazing. This is my second time using her service with zero complaints. She will always be my first option.”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we are very pleased. Erin was fantastic. She was very responsible, and communicative and responded to our texts very quickly. She loves animals and immediately took to our dachshunds and they really liked her as well. The pups were great when we arrived home and our house looked like we never left. I would definitely use Erin again if need be and highly recommend her.”
About: Having worked in the pet industry from my past work experience has allowed be to gain knowledge on how to deal with various situations that would relate to your pet. Some of these situations include: Basic behavioral techniques, reading basic social cues and/or body language, applying basic commands (dogs), socialization, walks, and appropriate food distribution. Volunteering at pet shelters has also provided me with knowledge on handling pets of different ages (puppy/kitten-senior). Not to mention, I am also a Social media Influencer hoping to provide my dogs with the best life possible. Working from home would allows me to practically never leave your pets side during boarding or sitting (boarding preferably). My dogs and I create fun/informative videos on different social medias (YouTube, Instagram, and Tiktok) and are alway happy to invite other pet owners to participate! To check us, just type in our Channel name: LifeWoofPaws on any of the social media platforms. Aside from my favorite hobby, I have done pet sitting for friends and family that range from a variety of different animals 🐶🐱🐹🐢🕸️🐠🐇🦔🦜 Currently I work from home full-time, so I can be present with your furbaby more often than not whether that be for pet sitting or boarding (boarding preferred). If your pet is more of an outside fur baby, I have a large fenced backyard with a patio for he or she to escape the sun when needed and a glass sliding door for your dog be in eyes view. If more of an inside pet and potty/crate trained, no area if off limits to roam. If not potty/crate trained, I have a play pin that will allow them extra space to still move around and play with puppy pads in it. Having my own pet, I have plenty of toys and a playmate for your fur buddy to interact with if he or she is friendly. If not socialized, my home is spacious enough to keep your pet inside with me, while my pet (dog) stays outside where he is 85% of the time (or vice versa).
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and more than 5 years rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming street dogs, I bring a unique combination of compassion, skill, and reliability. I currently volunteer at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, where I work hands-on with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, safe, and loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. Your pet will be treated like family—because caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work in delivery, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available at almost any time of the day. I do prefer morning appointments, but I’m always willing to adjust to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they receive the best care possible. In my home, pets enjoy a spacious and secure backyard where they can relax and play comfortably. They sleep inside the house with all the care and comforts they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adapt to the services they request — whether it’s stopping by once or twice a day for feeding and walks, or staying overnight to ensure their pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for.
“She did a great job keeping me updated on my dogs. She responds quick help ease the stress of leaving my dogs . my 2 frenchies seem to enjoyed their time with her. Thanks again.”
“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.”
“It was such a GREAT decision to use Abigail to look after our three dogs and two cats in our home while we were out of the country on vacation. We contacted and booked her very last minute and Abigail was totally fine with it! She went above and beyond and walked all of the dogs, went to the store when they ran out of treats without us even having to ask, was home most of the day with them to give them lots of attention and love. Her communication was 10/10. She sent us photos multiple times a day, brought our mail and boxes in, let us know if food was low etc. All of our dogs and cats loved her. We will definitely be booking Abigail again.”
“Beth is amazing. I booked her from my home in New York for my vacation in Tampa. It was my son’s graduation from UT so many events planned were last minute, involving lots of people. We changed the times and places where Beth would sit for our Yorkie Bichon, Alvin. She was totally flexible and also thoughtful, sending pictures, walking my son’s dog (not part of our prior agreement), careful about his needs. All around terrific. Highly recommend!”
“Met Angela through Rover, she is absolutely incredible, I was nervous leaving my senior dog, as he is typically at home or with close friends. She handled him with warmth, compassion and expertise. I came home to calm and happy dog. She skillfully handled my trip emergency definitively recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Rio
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!
Suzanne was a fantastic pet sitter! She coordinated a visit to my home before the stay so she could meet my pets and learn their routines. Throughout her stay, she sent me photos and videos and kept me informed at all times. She took wonderful care of my pets and my home, and she was always very responsive. I highly recommend her!
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.
Meredith is amazing! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. When I got home, everything was exactly as I had left it, clean, organized, and well taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lucas was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
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 !
Bryson stayed at our house to watch our GSP for the weekend. He kept us updated throughout his time with our dog and took great care of him. Our dog is very high energy so it was great to find a sitter that is used to all types of temperaments. The house was clean when we got back home and he even washed the sheets. We will definitely be asking Bryson to watch our dog again in the future!
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 for House Sitting in Del Rio on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,505 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
