“Not only did I have a great time because I knew my big head handsome was taken care of, but I came home to sheets washed, kitchen cleaner than I left it... unexpected delight! Thanks Jada!”
“Kelsie hid a great job taking care of our dog. He is big and can be challenging and managed his with ease! She even watered our plants while we were gone and sent us pictures of our boy everyday. She was great at communicating! We will certainly use her again!”
“Ashley took great care of our two dogs in our home for 5 days. She communicated well and even came early when I realized I made a mistake on the start time!! We will be having her come stay again on all of our upcoming trips!”
“McKaylee thank you so much for the great care you gave our sweet Amaretto. It was the first time leaving our pup since losing her sibling. McKaylee gave us the comfort we needed by sending us pictures often and staying at the house with Amaretto. We will definitely use her again soon! ♥️♥️♥️”
“Zoe is an excellent house & dog sitter. She cared for our aging Belgian Sheppard’s dietary and walking needs, kept us informed with frequent pictures of his meal times & walks, and they kept each other company at night. Highly recommend (except during periods we need her again).😁”
About: I have been providing pet services for friends and families in my community for years!! I love all animals like they are my own. I have been actively volunteering at shelters around San Antonio in my free time! Besides volunteering, my time is open! I’m looking to meet all kinds of fur babies, big or small. My time will be divided into providing for your pets and providing for our community! I will consistently engage with them, I love playing with animals or just chilling with them if they are low energy. I also love keeping everything clean for my clients so that’s a plus for you!! I do any tasks needed for your pet!
“Very responsive and sent daily photos of the pups while we were away which was greatly appreciated. Pups were well taken care of. Will definitely be using Emoni again!”
“Good service: Good communication and promptness, excellent rates, and my dog seemed pleased. I’ll definitely use Soraya again if needed in that area (probably in 2 months from now).”
“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”
“Emmarose was amazing! She went above and beyond for our pup to ensure maximum comfort and safety. Her communication was excellent and frequent which eased our worry while we were gone. Her love and passion for animals was clear and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We will rebook for future needs!”
“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Matthew was so communicative and reliable! It was his second time watching my pups and he was so flexible when we had to change plans around last minute due to a sick pup. He gave them medicine, and I was much more relaxed knowing they were in good hands.”
“Savanna was fantastic. She took great care of our furry children and sent pictures during the stay. She was very communicative and definitely made us feel safe leaving our pups with her. 5/5 would totally have her watch the dogs again.”
“We had to go out of town for a week and our pups had a health issue that made me uncomfortable boarding them around other dogs. I had never had somebody stay at our home to care for them, and honestly was not super comfortable with the idea, but it was the only option given the situation. Kelli put me at ease from the moment that she responded to my questions. When I met her in person, I was clear that should be a great fit and was responsible and detail – oriented. She also asked a lot of questions that I had not thought to include in my instructions, which to me shows that she is both caring and a true professional. Kelli kept in touch with me throughout the trip, and I was able to enjoy my time away, knowing that my pups were in good hands. I came home to a home that is somehow even cleaner than I left it, which is such a nice end to our vacation. Kelli, even washed the floor and carpets, along with the walls, which was incredibly thoughtful again, coming back to a sparkling, clean house really is the cherry on the cake for any vacation! Our pups are happy and I can tell that they were very, very well taken care of. I would not hesitate to reach out to Kelli again if we need someone and I am truly so glad we found her!”
“Pamela has come over to watch my shitzu and labradoodle twice now, for 3 days each visit. She is amazing with them, they are happy to see her and get lots of cuddles. She goes above and beyond by helping pick up their poop in the backyard, helping doing light cleaning in the kitchen, and washes and tries the sheets from the room she sleeps in. Pamela is also amazing at keeping me updated multiple times a day. Highly recommend that you use Pamela’s service!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Garden Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Garden Ridge on Rover is $38.85 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 1,891 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garden Ridge. 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 Garden Ridge 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 Garden Ridge 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 Garden Ridge 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 Garden Ridge. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
