“Jada was incredibly accommodating and flexible as our plans changed! She sent us regular photos of our dog that let us know he was doing well. She stayed at the house and left it clean and tidy. We will definitely use Jada again.”

“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.”

“Best house sitting for our old greyhound we have ever had. We were gone a week and Katherine and her husband took amazing care of our dog and the house. We returned to a cleaner house than we left and they sent us amazing videos each day of Dublins activities. We are lucky to have such a reliable and outstanding dog sitter!!!”

She was very flexible with our schedule changes and followed our very specific instructions we left as well as sent many updates to ease us since this was our first getaway leaving the babies behind. On her way out our puppy licked her which was evident she loved her time with her. Thank you for your help we will definitely be re-booking for future getaways!”

About: I have experience in caring for pets, primarily dogs, for five years. Although I haven’t done it professionally, I have looked over my neighbors, friends, and family dogs for over five years. I also have been caring for my Yorkie for over six years. I’m comfortable with doing everyday routines like walking, playing, and giving medicine whenever needed.I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I can be more than responsible when looking after these pets. I am available to work part time on weekdays and some weekends. I have my college classes Monday’s and Wednesday’s in the morning but I’ll be available in the afternoon and most nights. I will follow the owner’s instructions regarding walks, potty breaks, medication, and other routines. I’ll give pets plenty of attention through playtime and walks. I want the client’s pets to feel safe around me, so I do my best keep up with there normal routines while they are in my care.

“Morgan was wonderful with our pups! She was very professional, communicative, and asked great questions which showed how invested she was in providing the best care possible. We have a cane corso /pit mix who is big but pretty laid back, but our other dog is a new puppy who we view as high maintenance. Morgan handled it all in stride. We would definitely book Morgan again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet assistance.”

“Josh was a wonderful dog sitter! He took such great care of both of our pups with very different needs. He kept our 2-year-old active and got lots of walks and playtime in, and he assisted our senior dog with mobility issues to use the restroom multiple times a day, including carrying him in and out. He also made sure he ate his food and even fed him when needed. Josh took great care of our home, too; everything was tidy and spotless. He even washed used towels and folded them nicely. He kept us updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay as well. Highly recommend Josh - he is kind, attentive and takes wonderful care of pups and your home!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I don’t just stop by to feed them or take them on a walk, I spend time getting to know their personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school through dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters. As a pet owner myself to both a French Poodle Toy and a cat, I understand how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family member. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented. Whether it’s sticking to your pet’s routine, cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, scooping litter boxes, or giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently earning my graduate degree through a fully online program, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available every day for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care. Because my classes are online, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so I always do my best to keep them on their normal routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed and instructed), and any special routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, secure, and tidy. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for until you return home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve grown up surrounded by a full house of pets, including cats, dogs, and rabbits, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for everyone from playful kittens and energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. My experience has taught me how to understand each pet’s unique personality, needs, and comfort level. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a full-time student at UTSA, with classes Monday through Thursday that typically end by 6 PM. Even on school days, I’m available for dog walks, check-ins, and evening visits after 5 PM. Friday through Sunday, I have much more flexibility and am available for full-day care, overnight visits, walks, and check-ins. I’ll work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! When I care for your pets and home, I give them my full attention. I’m constantly aware of what your pets are doing, how they’re feeling, and whether they’re comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to their routines, behavior, and individual needs so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“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!!”

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was in the first grade. I have helped dog sit and watch neighbors’/friends’ pets for around 8 years now. I absolutely love all types of dogs! I currently have a Maltese/terrier mix and have had two labradors. I have experience with puppies since both of the labs I’ve had were around 8 weeks when my family got them. I feel that dogs understand us like no other animal and deserve the utmost care and patience. I have a very flexible schedule, let me know what times work best for you and I will plan accordingly. I am available to take last-minute inquiries as well. Every pet has their own different personality and needs. I ask the owner what the pet best responds to and what they enjoy, then go from there. I then make sure to send frequent updates to ensure the pet’s safety and wellbeing to the owner. I am extremely flexible and will provide the best care according to the owner’s instructions.

FAQs for House Sitting - Garden Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Garden Ridge is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 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 1,886 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

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
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
