“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”
“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.”
“Shea did a great job watching our dog and cat while we were out of town for almost a week. You can expect consistent updates and pictures with Shea! She was also respectful of our house. We would definitely rebook with Shea in the future!”
About: Hi y’all! I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up on a farm for several years of my life and I got to care for many different animals! Cats, dogs, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, and a pony. I’ve also helped family and friends with their farm animals and pets as well. Friends, neighbors, family, and some strangers have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. My last dog Buddy was actually 15 years old and I learned to take care of him very well. He has since passed away but my experiences and memories with him has made my love of animals grow even more! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work during the day, but I am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet’s needs while providing reliable, consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings and your pet’s behavior to ensure they remain safe at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jaden is so amazing!! My dog Daisy loved her so much and I cannot wait to book again. Also my apartment was left so clean and I received a bunch of photos throughout my trip which really eased all of my anxiety. Would 10000% recommend Jaden!!”
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).
“Rhoda is our go to sitter! She truly cares for our dog as if he was her own and he loves her so much. She sends lots of great pictures and updates which I appreciate so much. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“I have two rescue dogs that I adopted and have always worried about leaving them with anyone other than family members. They are quite shy and nervous around strangers so I was very hesitant to try Rover.com. Rebecca met with us two times to get the know the girls before my trip. She was very sweet and relaxed and made the dogs feel as comfortable as possible before my trip. My home and dogs were very well taken care of and I feel like we gained a new friend. I will definitely request Rebecca for my next get away.”
“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!”
“Victoria did an amazing job with my 2 puppies. They absolutely loved her and had a great time. She sent updates though the afternoon/night with pictures and it was amazing to see them calm and sleeping ir playing and eating. Will absolutely recommend her!”
“Riley is absolutely wonderful! Our 9 year old golden-doodle and 20 year old Maine Coon cat adore Riley! She’s reliable, communicative, and very well educated when it comes to animals. My husband and I fully trust her and she’s our go to sitter when we need one :)”
“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.
“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 ?”
“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.”

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.
Andre was wonderful. He was quick to respond to questions and concerns in the weeks prior to my trip. He moved into my condo. and took care of "Mootik" for a month. I could tell the two had bonded because Mootik followed Andre around while he was packing to leave after I returned. She looked great. Andre is a loving pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Del Rio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Del Rio on Rover is $51.36 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,571 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.
