“Tanya was great. Very responsive. She kept us up to date with pictures. The house was exactly as we left and the pets seemed happy. We would definitely like to book Tanya again.”
“We had Lauren house sit for us for a week and our Cocker Spaniels loved her. Communication was outstanding and she kept us updated by sending us photos while we were away. She is highly recommended and we will be booking her again for future trips.”
“First time meeting Aaliyah and right away felt comfortable leaving my pets with her. Got regular updates and she followed every one of my instructions. Thank you!!”
“Braydon was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond by mopping up muddy footprints left by 4 dogs. He sent lots of pictures and regularly checked in with me to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Braydon to any one who needs dog walker and or house sitter.”
“Rebekah was a great house / dog sitter! My dog was in a cone and had some meds he had to take and she handled it all great, especially since it took him a moment to warm up and settle in. She was patient with him, very communicative and had the sweetest things to say about him! I will definitely book Rebekah again in the future.”
“This was ourfirst experience with Rover and we could not have been more pleased with Madison! She cared for our pets as if they were her own. Prior to her visit, we had a vet emergency and explained the issue and asked her to keep an extra eye out him. Well our pet had the issue come up while away and Madison did such a great job notifying immediately and took to the vet to receive the medical attention. In addition, during her visit, she sent updates on all the other pets. I highly recommend Madison!!”
“Bryanna was great with George! She followed all directions without issue and sent many pics. Always keeping me updated on how she was doing. Arrived early and was flexible when I needed a little extra time. I will use her again if I have to come back to San Antonio! Really great job.”
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
“Dora went above and beyond caring for the pups and left me feeling super comfortable with the dogs! They loved her staying over! Would 100% recommend Dora for your dog sitting / walking needs!! She’s the best!!”
“Daniela did an amazing job watching Niko. Thank you for caring for her, sending daily updates, and watching my home while I was out of town. I greatly appreciate your help!”
“Monica was great and I highly recommend her! I booked her for a 3 night stay with my dog and two cats, which I was super anxious about. It was the first time I was leaving them in a while given that one of my cats went on subcutaneous fluids. I was ?very anxious about him potentially missing his night time dose so, despite the long commute, Monica came for the M&G and a second visit for extra practice with the injection. For the stay I was willing to work around her work schedule with a dog walker, but she was lovely enough to take most of the days off so that she could fully focus on the crew. During my time away I got plenty of updates and I came back to a clean apartment and content animals.”
“Rachel took excellent care of our Maltese and Havanese. She kept us up to date with regular reports and photos. We will definitely be using her again when we travel.”
“Cheyenne is amazing! This was the first time we had to leave our dog for an extended period of time. Cheyenne was great at keeping me updated on how he was doing and all the fun he was having! He is a playful boy and needs quite a bit of attention, and Cheyenne was ready and willing. His energy is not always easy to manage, but we came home to a calm, relaxed boy! Cheyenne also took meticulous care of our gecko. She can be fussy with new people but warmed right up to Cheyenne! We returned home to a spotless house and happy animals! Overall Cheyenne was extremely mindful in every step of the care she provided and we will absolutely be reaching out again!”
“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Adilene was excellent. Our dogs were cared for appropriately, and cuddled excessively. She brought in packages, and since it was Amazon prime day we got all of our monthly subscription items so it was not trivial.she was responsive, sent pictures and the house was tidy.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fair Oaks Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fair Oaks Ranch on Rover is $37.74 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 1,722 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fair Oaks Ranch. 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 Fair Oaks Ranch 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 Fair Oaks Ranch 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 Fair Oaks Ranch 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.

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.
