“Krystyna was amazing! She did an excellent job giving us updates, and taking care of the house as well as the dogs! The pups immediately felt comfortable around her, and she treated them like family! 100 percent recommend her services!”
“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. ♥️”
“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.”
“Rebecca exceeded all of our expectations! She took care of our dogs in our home for the weekend while we went out of town. She communicated frequently, sent pictures, and gave me updates throughout our stay. We came home to two very happy fur babies and our home was in perfect order. We will definitely use Rebecca again in the future - we highly recommend her!”
“Brooke was a fantastic partner in watching our dog and our home while we were away. She made sure our dog got lots of attention and sent us updates. Great communication. We came home to a happy non-stressed pup and a tidy home. 5 stars!”
About: I work from home and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to walk, play, and engage with dogs throughout the day. I spend half the year traveling and half the year visiting family in Austin, Texas. One downside of my travel schedule is it doesn't allow me to have my own dog. So, I'm seeking canine companionship. I prefer dog sitting + house sitting arrangements and have done many of these for friends and family over the years but none via Rover so far. I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to walk, play, and engage with dogs throughout the day. I only work 4-5 hours per day, so I have lots of spare time to give them the attention they need. In the morning, before I start work, I have a few hours to walk the dogs, feed them, engage in play time, or whatever their routine requires. I get up at 6-6:30am and typically work from 8:30am to 12:30pm. But I periodically take breaks and can attend to the dogs if they need to potty or a belly rub. In the afternoon, I can take them on a longer walk or an outing to the park to play fetch or interact with other dogs. Again, it depends on what your dog enjoys. If your dog would rather chill at a cafe and people watch, we can do that too. At some point in the afternoon, I typically go to the gym or run errands for 1-2 hours. This is the only time your dog would be home alone 95% of days. I'm very routined. In the evening, I prefer to cook a healthy dinner and relax by reading or watching a movie. If I've done my job, your dogs should be pretty tired and just want to enjoy a calm evening. But for more energetic dogs, there's ample time for an additional dog walk or play session before winding down. I'm in bed by 9pm, so my sleep schedule aligns well with most dogs. There is very little variation in this routine, except that I have more free time in the mornings on the weekend. Dogs really seem to thrive with consistency and I do too. I'm very health conscious. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. I walk and workout everyday. I live a low stress lifestyle. And, I enjoy being at home. So your dogs will have a calm and attentive presence. They won't be left alone more than 1-2 hours per day and many days they won't be left alone at all. Whether they're at home or on an outing, they will have a guardian who is always aware of the surroundings and will keep them safe.
“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”
“We had one of the best experiences with Laura. Our dogs can be a bit high-maintenance; two of them are older (12 & 9), and our 5-year-old is a chronic shedding machine! But they make up for it with lots of love :). Regardless, it is more work, and Laura cared for them as if they were her own. I also appreciated her professionalism in asking questions if I left something out or wasn't clear; she was observant, timely, and reliable. Laura possesses that rare 'dog-whisperer' kindness/love that kept our fur babies at ease for the four days we were gone. We will definitely ask her back, and all of us give her an enthusiastic five-paws-up recommendation!”
“Aaliyah was awesome! Our dog, Gracie, absolutely loved her. Aaliyah took Gracie on daily excursions and was very good at matching them to our dog’s physical abilities. Aaliyah’s communication skills are excellent. She texted me often with updates and pictures. Gracie needs daily medication and Aaliyah had no problems managing her complicated schedule. I will definitely call her again the next time we go away and feel comfortable recommending her to others.”
About: I grew up on a farm so I have experience with dogs, cats, and many more. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages and personalities, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had animals to feed, care for, and spend time with every day. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets in my home and my clients’ homes by treating them like my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable space, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow each pet’s routine and needs closely to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have experience w/ doggos, rodents, bunnies, birds, etc. I genuinely love animals and know they are so special in our lives and I treat them as such 💯💖👍 I know when I’ve had pets before and have had someone else watch them, it matters to me that they do things exactly how I do it at home so I will do the same for you. Your wish is my command. I want your pet to feel as much at home as possible always. And I’m not afraid to ask questions if needed. I am currently working from home so am very available!! And also love the company 🥰 No days off when it come to taking care of your baby. It matters to me greatly to honor your pet’s routine and your exact preferences. I love details so just let me know as much as you can about your pet and your preferences. I’m highly adaptable and love to do things well so just let me know any preferences and what you want for your pet and how you want them cared for and I will act accordingly!! 💖
“Ciann was absolutely amazing with Fetty! Great communication, friendly, and professional. She sent lots of photos which gave me peace of mind even though I was only away for a short time. I will absolutely be booking with Ciann again. Highly recommend!”
About: Heeyyy! I’m Nicci, a life long Austinite, I’m a Mom to two minions, two cats, and a dog. I’m an artist who enjoys going on long walks (hopefully with your dog…🤞) I’m really flexible schedule wise. I don’t mind administering medication if needed. I’m good with all stages of life - puppy/kitties to seniors and anyone in between. I would be happy to help you out with whatever companion care needs you may have. My job is to walk, check in on, and care for other’s companions. It’s all I do besides my main Mom gig. So, companion care IS my daily routine! :) ***Im currently in an apartment but at the end of September I am moving into a house with lots of fenced in yard space!*** My apartments have a very large fenced in dog park and multiple designated dog potty areas. I’m a leashed walker unless in a fenced in area where they can run and play.
“Jessica did a great job watching our little dachshund, Dash. He loved cuddling and playing ball with her! We will definitely hire her again and recommend her to care for your furry loved ones.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,501 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Henly. 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 Henly 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 Henly 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 Henly 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.
