“This was our first house sit with Katelyn and I will definitely be rebooking. She took care of my large dog, 2 cats and home as if they were her own. 10/10 definitely recommend Katelyn.”

“Kiara was awesome at communicating with us and sent us photos of our babies every day. We were so worried about putting our pets in a boarding house because one of our pets would have just not been able to handle the change well. Rover.com was a lifesaver and Kiara was amazing with our pets. She even came over before we left on vacation to meet our pets. Overall we are extremely happy with the service we received.”

“Tess was amazing with my 3 babies. She was very communicative, and provided so many pictures. I would rebook with her without any hesitations. She made leaving my babies for the first time stress free. I highly recommend her.”

“Kory did an amazing job with watching our senior dog and two cats during our wedding and honeymoon abroad! He was very kind, considerate, inquisitive and communicative! Would highly recommend him for in-home petsitting!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!
“Sierra is a great pet sitter and a wonderful person. She is conscientious and caring, always worrying about our pets and ensuring that they are safe and comfortable. She is reliable and trust worthy. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a cat, dog or house sitter :)”


“Norman was such a great experience for my big special boy. There was so much consideration to his needs and habits, as well as our training work. I got loads of photos and videos and I know my big boy was loved during my trip. Highly recommend Norman! ❤️”

“Julia is awesome. Very communicative and attentive. She shared a lot of updates with me and was very flexible. I came home with a happy kitty and a home in great condition. Thanks Julia!”

“This was the second time Alexandra took care of our dogs and cat. Both times she took excellent care of our pets. She provided updates and included pictures. Would book with her again.”

“Andrea (Ash) is a terrible Rover. Definitely don't hire her...... That way she'll always be available for my Cocoa when we need her. Okay, being serious now....if and when we ever need another Rover for our baby, you can rest assured we will be desperately trying get her again - she was wonderful with Cocoa and very with us. You could see it in the pictures. Cocoa was happy and loved while we were gone. We have been reluctant to take any trips because we aren't comfortable leaving our baby. But with Andrea, we both felt assured that she was in great hands. We will actually be much more likely to take trips if we can get Andrea to be our Rover in the future!”


About: Howdy! :) I’m Skylar! I’m a kindergarten teacher and currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education at UT Austin. While completing my online program, I’m spending my time babysitting, pet sitting, and traveling, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of availability for your pets! I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, both personally and professionally. Growing up on my uncle’s cattle ranch, I gained hands-on experience caring for all kinds of furry friends. I’ve also cared for plenty of smaller pets, including dogs, cats, and hamsters. My background has given me experience with a wide variety of animals, personalities, and needs. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and experienced in creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’ll bring that same care and attention to your pets, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I absolutely love animals and would be thrilled to care for yours. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family! 🐾 I’m currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education through UT Austin, and my program is fully online. Because I’m not working a traditional job right now, my schedule is extremely flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care. I’m also able to give pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I do travel periodically while completing my degree, but I plan my trips around my pet-sitting commitments and only accept bookings when I know I’ll be fully available. I’d love to work with you and find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! 🐾 I’m big on communication and will send plenty of photos and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. For walks: I bring my own poop bags, but ask that you provide your pet’s usual collar/harness, leash, and any other equipment they need (such as dog shoes). Before our first walk, we’ll go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any safety expectations — including how they do around other dogs, whether they’re comfortable drinking water while out, and anything else I should know. We can stick to a familiar walking route, visit a dog park if you’re comfortable with that, or add games like fetch and playtime when your pup needs more energy burned than a walk alone. For boarding in my home: I have a fenced-in yard, access to a neighborhood dog park, two friendly cats, and a 15-lb fluffy white dog who absolutely loves other animals. I’ll always take your pet’s personality and comfort level into account when deciding how much interaction they have with my pets. For house sitting: I treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine — keeping things clean, respecting your space, and following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I especially love house sitting because I can work on my online master’s program while keeping your pet company, taking plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and for you to feel completely in the loop the whole time! ❤️🐶🐱
About: I’ve raised a golden aussiedoodle puppy from 10 weeks old into adulthood. Familiar with clicker training and rewards based treat motivations on and off leash. I love to run and if your dog would like to run on our walks, I’m happy to get in a run together for extra exercise! I’m an early riser and can give walks/runs in the AM on the weekdays. Weekends I love to spend my time when I can with pets! I am very respectful of any rules in client’s homes and will leave any toys etc. where they belong. Communication is very important! If you communicate your dogs needs or style I will accommodate to them.
About: I have several years of experience caring for pets through both personal and hands-on situations. I grew up accompanying my mother while she cleaned homes, where I was responsible for looking after pets during visits, including feeding, walking, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they were calm and comfortable while their owners were away. I also had a cat for 18 years, during which I was involved in her daily care, routines, and longterm wellbeing throughout her life. I care deeply about animals and tend to be very attentive to their needs and comfort. To give a small example, I often check ahead of time if a movie involves animal harm so I can prepare myself emotionally. These experiences have made me patient, observant, and consistent with animals. I’m comfortable following detailed routines and making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and well looked after in their owners’ absence I work as a private violin teacher, typically teaching lessons daily in the afternoons and evenings, usually between about 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, with some variation depending on the day. My mornings and earlier afternoons are generally flexible, which allows me to schedule pet care, walks, and drop-ins consistently during those hours. I also have availability later at night and overnight depending on the booking, which makes house sitting and extended stays possible. I’m organized with my schedule and make sure to communicate clearly in advance so pet care responsibilities are reliable and consistent I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for each home I enter. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a calm and structured environment for pets, and ensure their daily routines are kept consistent. I’m attentive to detail, especially during walks and feedings, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. I treat each home with care and professionalism, keeping spaces clean and organized. I also provide clear communication and updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“Emily was amazing! So communicative and plenty of updates and pictures. She kept the house clean too! Would book her again and recommend. Our dogs seem like they had a wonderful weekend with her.”

About: I grew up with a cat, so I understand feline independence, quirks, and how to earn trust — even with the shy ones. Over the years, I’ve also lived with roommates who had dogs, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and just being a steady, calm presence for a dog who’s used to company. Beyond my own home, I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years — everything from quick daily check-ins to longer stays while people were traveling. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and communicate with owners so they feel at ease the whole time. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a quiet companion, or just someone reliable to make sure they’re fed and loved, I’m happy to step in. Since I work fully remote, I’m home basically all day, so your pet gets plenty of company rather than long stretches alone. We will go for walks or dog park time throughout the day. My apartment doesn’t have direct yard access, but the complex has several dog parks nearby for outdoor time and socializing. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s usual feeding routine, and I send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing throughout the stay.

I have a crate available if yours is crate trained or wants a quiet space of their own, and I sanitize it and wash all bedding between every stay. Potty breaks every couple of hours. I live in an apartment with no yard, so we walk instead, which means I am careful about leashes, harnesses and doors and I do not let dogs off leash anywhere that is not enclosed. Only 1 or 2 dogs are ever here at once, so there is no group play and no surprises with other people's dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
