“Lillian was wonderful! Our dogs were very happy and comfortable in her care. She communicated with us consistently throughout the entire stay and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up and washing the linens before leaving. It was such a thoughtful touch, and we truly appreciated coming home to a clean house. We would absolutely hire Lillian again and highly recommend her!”
“Krystyna is absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. She provided regular updates with photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Our pups were happy and well-cared for when we returned, and we could tell they enjoyed their time with her. If you’re looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring sitter, Krystyna is the best! Highly recommend!”
“We knew from our first meeting that our pups were going to be in good hands while we were gone. It is so obvious that Donna loves dogs and she goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel comfortable at her home. We will definitely be calling Donna again when we go out of town. ♥️”
“Alex was so sweet and caring with our 3 girls and our 6 chickens! He house sat for us and provided excellent care and updates to us multiple times a day. It was exactly what my nervous mom heart needed. He was persistent with trying to win over our rescue dog that took a few days to join her sisters in accepting the kind stranger in her home. He was thorough in reading our notes and asking questions. Communication was excellent. We would recommend Alex to anyone else needing a sitter!”
“Very pleased with the extended stay coverage while we were traveling internationally. Anastasia was understanding and adaptable. We appreciated all the dog walks too! Will use Anastasia again in the future!”
“Monica has been such an amazing sitter for puddy. She sent frequent updates, gave him lots it love and attention and just made me feel totally stress free knowing that she was there to take care of puddy. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Carla was great - very communicative, sent us updates, and most importantly took great care of our dog Mabel! We will definitely see if she can stay with Mabel again in the future!”
“Kylie did a nice job at the house with Sandie and Prissy. They seemed happy, healthy, calm, and cared for when we returned. I’m booking Kylie again already for another quick trip out of town.”
“Chantel was great! She stayed at my house with my kitty while I was on a trip. She sent updates and I returned to a happy cat and a clean home. Will be booking with her again for my next trip:-)”
“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”
“Jordan is a wonderful pet sitter! Great communication, kept us posted with lots of photos. Took great care or our house, too. But most importantly, our dogs loved him! Definitely would book again.”
“Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for a little over two weeks while caring for our 23-year-old cat, Chloe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Coming home to such a happy, relaxed kitty was the greatest gift. It was obvious Chloe was loved, well cared for, and never felt neglected while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home—it was absolutely immaculate when we returned. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything was in great hands. Brooke is trustworthy, kind, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would hire her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable house and pet sitter!”
About: **please make sure you are within my service area before sending a booking request** I am a professional interdisciplinary artist who has worked and volunteered in the animal welfare field for over 30 years. I’ve worked as a vet-tech and kennel tech in shelters, as well as smaller clinics and rescues in Massachusetts and Texas. I grew up in a household with multiple cats and dogs. I am an advocate for bully breeds, and have owned pit bulls and pit mixes through much of my adult life. I treat all cats, dogs, exotics and other animals with utmost care, love, compassion, and patience, regardless of size, breed, and behavior. I have a clean driving record and am fully insured. I appreciate you giving me an opportunity to care for your furry kiddos, and look forward to it. Because I work from home I have a lot of flexibility for pet care. During boardings I stay home so you needn’t worry about your pets being left unattended. I live on 10 acres in Wimberley. My property is fenced, but because some dogs won’t obey commands from those other than their family and might behave differently in a foreign environment I do not let them off leash. My home and porch are spacious so there is a lot of room to play. (I do have plans to securely fence in a dog area on the ranch, and will be sure to mention it when I do). If you choose to board your pet at my place I WILL stay home (which is fine since I work from home much of the time), so your dogs will never be left unattended. I’m very tidy and do not leave anything laying around that could be a potential hazard for your fur babies. I have 2 large dog beds which I wash between uses. I also have a variety of toys for dogs (which also get washed and sanitized), and keep a variety of healthy snacks and (rawhide-free) chews on hand, food and water bowls. I also have a variety of harnesses (currently only for medium and large breed dogs) leads, and dog seat belts, clip-on lights for night walks. If you prefer your pet be crated while here you will need to supply the crate. ** Photos of house and interior upon request.
“Gihan watched our baby for the first time and was wonderful with him. Very patient with his fussy quirks and really taking the time to get to know him better. We appreciated her sending updates and plenty of photos to keep us posted on how things were coming along throughout the day. We already have her booked again for our next time away!”

About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was little, I currently am a Vet technician at manchaca village veterinary care and love it !

About: I've loved animals my whole life, starting with my childhood dog, a dachshund named Tommy. I've been professionally pet sitting for many years, and caring for pets has become something I truly enjoy. I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and quirks, so I take the time to get to know each one individually. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet afternoon cuddling on the couch, I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. My years of experience have taught me how important it is to be reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently a full-time petsitter and an online student, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I can be available during the day when many other sitters may be at work. I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home while I'm there. I follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other special instructions you provide. I also make sure to give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and needs. I treat their space with the same respect and care that I would my own. I keep things clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention to anything that could be a safety concern. Most importantly, I keep open communication with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dripping Springs is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $92 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,185 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dripping Springs. 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 Dripping Springs 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 Dripping Springs 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 Dripping Springs 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
