“Mo provides 5-star service — to my dog, and to me. Communicated well, sent photos frequently. I knew my dog was happy and felt safe when I got photos of him belly-up and relaxed. Mo house-sat for five days and it was clean and well cared for. I highly recommend Mo, and will be using his services in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️”
“Marsha was nothing short of fantastic! During our meet & greet, she asked all the right questions, ensuring she understood everything thoroughly. My dogs immediately liked her, and I immediately trusted her. I will definitely call her again- she's my first choice!”
About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.
“Kirby was great! She never left my pup for too long and stayed with him overnight. My pup can be anxious with new people but she was great at being patient and making him comfortable. I was happy to get regular updates on him as well. I definitely recommend Kirby for your pet sitting needs!”
“Kim was AMAZING with our brand new rescue dog, Poof. I had foundPoof on the side of the road a week prior and we had the leave town for a wedding, not ideal with a new and unknown dog. Kim was incredible with him taking him on multiple walks a day and making sure he felt safe and love!! Plus Kim cleaned up the house before leaving and stayed late since we had a late flight. Kim is an incredible sitter!!”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our cat and dog! I’m always nervous leaving them behind when going out of town, but Matt was communicate and made me feel at ease. T hey and our house were well taken care of!”
“Our little Tasmanian devil had an absolute blast with Derek! Having him home sit was the best decision, house was clean, dog was happy, great communication while we were gone, need I go on? 10/10 already recommending to friends”
“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”
“From beginning to end of her five-day stay, Luciana was attentive and loving with our two high energy Aussies. They can be a handful, but she followed our instructions for how to manage their energy and keep them on a routine, she sent us cute photos and comments several times a day. Upon our return, the house was spotless and the dogs were calm and happy. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.”
“Another great stay with Aleksi! He was so flexible and understanding with what seemed like our ever-changing schedule after some travel difficulties, and as always took such amazing care of Woody and our home. Always five stars!”
About: I’ve cared for fur family members for myself, friends and family. I pride myself in being someone you can more than rely on. I will treat your babies like they are my own because I know how hard it is to be anxious about your loved one while you’re away. I work as a hairstylist during the day, but I make my own schedule so I’m trying to optimize my free time as much as possible. I can squeeze in drop in visits/walks before and after my work day. I have the utmost respect for other people’s things. I will treat everything as my own, from house sitting, to pet sitting, to babysitting, you will not ever have to worry. I’m an excellent communicator, if there ever is any anxiety and will happily put you at ease with physical proof.
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“Caroline was wonderful! She stayed at our house with our cats, and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. Our kitties can be a little shy, but they absolutely loved her. She sent lots of sweet updates and photos, watered our plants, and left the house spotless. She was communicative, thoughtful, and went above and beyond. We’d be so happy to have her stay with them again!”
“Brianna is very flexible and communicative! We contacted her when we needed a sitter last-minute, and she really came through for us! She accommodated our complicated feeding instructions, adjusted seamlessly as we gave her additionally guidance, and always sent lots of photos. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Valle
Mia accepted a last minute 5 day stay after another rover sitter cancelled 30hrs before the start of our booking. She was so kind to make a meet and greet work same day. She took great care of Clyde, sent photos and was proactive and promptly responsive with her communication while we were gone, and left our house in great condition — washed our sheets, took out the trash, 0 dirty dishes. 10/10 recommend her for not only great dependable care but also being a lifesaver so last minute. Thank you, Mia!!!
Angelica was fantastic, she updated daily and sent LOTS of pictures of my babies while I was away. It was very reassuring knowing she was there with them and seeing how much love they were getting. She walked my dog multiple times a day and made sure the kitty got his cuddles. I will definitely be using her again next time Im out of town!
Daniela was wonderful with our pets! We felt very comfortable and our dogs loved her from the beginning. She was able to give them medications, stay at our house, and gave them plenty of supervised time outside. Everything was in great condition upon our return. I highly recommend her for your pets needs!
Savannah did a spectacular job watching my 11-year-old lab who recently had a lung lobectomy and is currently experiencing arthritis. She made sure to take her time, carefully and slow slowly walking with June at a pace that worked well for her. Savannah was able to take June on more than three walks every single day and followed all rules perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I am so grateful that she was available to step in.

FAQs for House Sitting - Del Valle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Del Valle on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,678 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Del Valle. 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 Valle 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 Valle 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 Valle 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.
