“Natalie was amazing with our dogs. Both dogs loved spending time with her. We could tell with every photo she sent how happy they were. Even our most stand offish pup cuddled on the bed with her. That is always a great sign!”
“This is the second time Laura watched our two dogs for us. This time we added my daughter’s six month old puppy to the mix. Laura took excellent care of our pets and home. We received pictures daily and she was very responsive to any questions from my daughter who was worried leaving “her baby” for the first time.”
“Pat took excellent care of my dogs and home while I was away. My senior dog has multiple medications and other special needs and Pat did a wonderful job with all of it. In addition, I returned to a home that was cleaner than I left it, which was not expected. She’s a gem and I will be hiring her again.”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”
“Eliza was an amazing sitter for our elderly dog, cat, and rabbit! I can't imagine a better choice - her loving care and attention to detail made us feel so much better leaving them. She went above and beyond dealing with muscle aches in our dog, applying heat and ice. Great communication with lots of updates, photos and videos. I highly recommend Eliza!”
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”
“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”
“So thankful for Nicole’s great care for our house and cats while we were away. She sent a daily picture and updates, and by the end of her stay, both of our cats felt comfortable enough to snuggle with her during the overnights. Great peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well loved while we were away!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and truly treat every pet like family. Although renting limits the number of pets I can have, it gives me the opportunity to dedicate my time and attention to caring for others’ pets. I’d love to provide loving, dependable care for your furry friend while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom with flexible availability and a love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m happy to provide check-ins, companionship, and attentive care to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I would love to stay at play with them if they are playful! I am happy to take them on walks and if allowed give extra treats and cuddles!
About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was a child. I’ve been exposed to large dog breeds (ex. Rottweilers & German Shepherds) as well as small dog breeds (ex. corgis & dachshund's). I am a certified dog trainer, with 9 years experience and can work in some Basic Obedience work with your dog during their stay or we can talk about some behavior modification and steps to move forward for private lessons. I currently work part time and have plenty of time and energy to work with and take care of your pup. I work with my own dogs twice a day but those sessions are very flexible. I don’t currently have a fully fenced in yard, but I have access to 5 private acres I can walk your pup on a long line. I utilize martingale collars to prevent any mishaps or escaping. I utilize positive reinforcement to connect and have clear communication with each dog I interact with.
“Erica is outstanding and we are so lucky we were referred to her. I always feel stressed when going out-of-town, and having Erica stay in our house with our 6 month old kitten provided such comfort to us. She is very organized, communicates so well, and gave our kitten lots of love and attention. We had a service call at our house that she easily took care of and our house was so clean when we returned (she really went above and beyond!). Also, Erica sent us cute photos and videos or our kitten, which was fun to receive while away. Thank you so much Erica!”
“Kim did a fabulous job taking care of my home and my two fur babies. She provided me with updates and pictures that definitely showed how comfortable they were in her presence. I will definitely use her in the future, she is my go-to sitter.”
“Kainoa was awesome! Our pets were happy and healthy when we got home. He managed our house and even put up with construction. Our neighbors said he was very responsible and polite. Would highly recommend Kai for any of your pet needs :)”
“Hannah was great! She checked in regularly and was just generally kind and pleasant, also was good at working with Nessy’s quirks and following her routine. She even was kind enough to do the linens laundry and clean, which was above and beyond.”

I hired Matt for house and dogsitting while I was away for New Years, and he was very friendly and professional throughout the process. He kept up my young and active dog’s daily routines well, he sent me occasional updates, and he was very responsive when I reached out with questions. I’d definitely hire Matt again.
Elizabeth did such an awesome job! We were gone for a week and she stayed over at our place with our pup. She followed all the instructions and left our place even better than we left. She cared for our dog like it was her own:) We will definitely be using her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dilley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dilley on Rover is $26.75 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 4,456 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dilley. 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 Dilley 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 Dilley 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 Dilley 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 with handling special pet needs in Dilley. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
