About: I grew up with animals all my life and have a passion for them. I take care of both dogs, and cats and truly enjoy their company. ✨ I am currently working full time but have a flexible schedule in order to make sure your pet is well taken care of. My weekends are free and besides work I am at home. I do not have a backyard but I have a fenced dog park in a safe area. I have one Toy Poodle (spayed) and a Siamese cat (neutered,). They are both very friendly and cuddle a lot!
About: I love pets — it’s that I’ve never known life without them. I was raised in a house full of dogs, cats, so pet care isn’t something I learned from a training video. It’s second nature. From bottle-feeding puppies to managing senior meds, anxious rescues to high-energy zoomies, I’ve truly seen it all. Your pet won’t get a “sitter” — they’ll get someone who reads body language before it becomes a problem, knows when play means overstimulation, and treats your fur family like they’ve always been part of mine. Expect daily pupdates, spotless home standards, and the kind of care that only comes from a lifetime of experience. My part-time work schedule gives me the flexibility that most 9–5 sitters can’t offer. I’m available for midday walks, drop-ins, and extended stays during the week, plus weekends and holidays. Your pet gets more time, attention, and consistency without me rushing between jobs. Secure, fully fenced backyard with locking gates and daily safety checks. No hazards, no unsupervised time outside. Perfect for potty breaks, play sessions, and dogs who need space to decompress.
About: I have extensive background in taking care of many breeds of dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I take pride in being the reliable person, family and friends call on to take care of their animals. While they are gone. My weekly routine is simple. With that being said, It is easy to make time for the pups to play, walk, nap and enjoy an easy environment. I will update if anything changes. Please let me know how I can help! I have one friendly border collie. I have a fenced in back yard. I have the room to kennel. I can give medication. Anything you, or your dog may need. As you are away!
About: I was a dog sitter throughout high school and grew up with 5 dogs in my home. I’m very comfortable around them and love taking care of them! I’m currently a senior at Texas A&M and will only have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays in the mornings. I should have time on the weekends as well to help out! At my house with my family we have a big open yard for our dogs to play and run around in. They get lots of love and snuggles!
About: As part of a military family, I understand the importance of reliable and flexible pet care. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including elderly and special-needs pets requiring medications, mobility assistance, and extra attention. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as a variety of other animals. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and dependable care so pets feel comfortable and owners have peace of mind while away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, and I intentionally schedule my time to ensure the animals in my care receive consistent attention and reliable service. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins so that pets are never an afterthought. Whether providing companionship, exercise, or maintaining established routines, I make each pet’s well-being a top priority and am committed to giving them the time, care, and attention they deserve every day. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable environment while maintaining their normal routine. I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and personalized care so they feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Del Rio on Rover is $28.31 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 12 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
