“Lilyanna did a great job staying at our home and watching our 2 pups. She kept me updated throughout her stay and all was good when we returned home! We will def use her again!”
“We loved having Kate watch our two cats! She took such great care of them and kept us updated over our trip! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their little ones!”
“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. ♥️”
“Willow was amazing. I am always an overbearing pet parent to my kiddos and she was so sweet always answering my texts and sending me pictures every day. Truly the best!”
“Amazing job. She was so good with pups and kept us updated while we were gone on vacation. Puppies had a good time and when we returned to our home it was spotless. Highly recommend.”
“I would like to thank Keniana for providing exceptional care for my two pugs during my recent holiday. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and regular updates, which let me relax and enjoy my time away. Knowing that Mr. Flynn and Ms. Scout were in such capable hands gave me peace of mind. The photos she shared showed that she cared for them as I would. If you are looking for someone who cares for animals as much as you do, I highly recommend choosing her for your next sit. Thank you so very much, Keniana!”
“Becca was great! We were looking for someone last minute and Becca made time to come do a meet and greet the same day we contacted her and our dog absolutely adored her. She was very professional and responsive and kept us updated the whole time we were gone. I highly recommend her!”
“Duncan watched our three pups for almost a week. Only one of the three is normal and all he needs is for you to throw him the ball. The other two are high maintenance. Duncan was so patient and took his time to get to know them. He met them both where they were at. By the second day, they had found a new friend. He even scrambled eggs.(something neither one of them can resist) to help ease their stress. Each day I got to hear about their progress and have a slew of pictures both morning and evening. Duncan shared the day with the dogs and it really brought a lot of comfort and peace to me and my family. He is just excellent and I can’t say enough wonderful things about him. We will definitely be booking him again!”
“An overall outstanding experience. Lauren was professional and extremely reliable. I received daily status reports, and pictures of my cat. Highly recommended. I will use her again.”

“Alex is the best! Highly conscientious, a great communicator, and a real animal lover! Our dog's digestive challenges didn't faze him and he worked hard to develop a connection with her. (she's very shy and wary of strangers). At his suggestion, we had two meet-and-greet sessions and Alex took careful note of all the information we gave him. Alex left the house in perfect condition, even washing and changing the sheets on the bed. We would ask Alex back anytime! Thank you, Alex!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dripping Springs
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dripping Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dripping Springs on Rover is $54.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,220 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 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.
