“Melondy was extremely communicative and thoughtful during her stay with Layla. She made sure she came over right on time, sent me regular updates on how Layla was doing and followed the pet care instructions to the letter. Additionally she was respectful of our space and left the house spotless! I would absolutely book again!”
“Kristina was fantastic with my cat Fable. She is super responsible, very accommodating with time schedules and goes out of her way to help. I had an early morning flight and she was kind enough to come over at 6am to get the apartment keys before I left. During the house sitting she always made sure to send daily updates of Fable and informed me of how she was that day. I highly recommend Kristina for pet sitting as she is a trustworthy, caring and overall fantastic and does a great job of taking care of your pet!”
“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!”
“We have been using Marsha for about 5 years now and she's truly the best. We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with her and never have to worry, which means the world because we have an epileptic pup and one with past behavioral issues. The pictures we get of our dogs when we're gone, it's obvious our dogs love her too. Nothing is better than not worrying about your pets when you're away, that peace of mind is priceless and that's what Marsha provides!”
“Amanda is so sweet and was an amazing sitter for my cat, Cleo. She gave wonderful care to my very spoiled girl, followed every instruction, sent the best updates and kept my place clean. Cleo looked so comfortable and happy with her in every photo I received. I’m so thankful! Will be booking again. ❤️”
“If I could give more stars I would! Raven is an absolute dream to have watch your furr- babies! She is very attentive and communicative. She sent me lots of updates and I received lots of photos and videos. She also was very respectful of my home. It was a GREAT experience and I am so thrilled she worked out! Not to mention that my dogs loved her!! Thank you, Raven! We will def be seeing you again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Tess! While we were away, she took wonderful care of our dogs (including our boy Baxter), and what really stood out was her communication — she sent photos and videos throughout the day, every day, so we always knew our pups were happy, safe, and having fun. It gave us total peace of mind to be able to check in and see them looking so relaxed and well cared for. You can tell Tess genuinely loves animals — she was attentive to their routines and made sure they felt comfortable the whole time we were gone. We came home to happy, healthy dogs, and we'll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond!”

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where my early-morning shifts included cleaning, feeding, and supervising group playtimes with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m also a longtime pet owner - my cat, Nico, came to me as a stray kitten, and my dog, Dotty Parton, started as a foster and became a permanent part of the family. I work as freelancer, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I can often adjust my day around appointments to fit your pet’s routine. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and I understand the trust involved in having someone care for your animals while you’re away. I’ve used pet sitters for my own pets, so I know how important it is to have someone who is dependable, communicative, and treats your home with care.

Paula is a great pet sitter, super professional and dependable! She is extremely easy to work with and very communicative. Paula stayed with our anxious Italian Greyhound in our downtown Austin hotel room while we attended an event. She updated us with photos of Stan (awesome photos, I might add!) and played treat hide and seek with him in the room. Could not recommend Paula more!
Julian was an absolute rockstar. From the first interaction we felt entirely comfortable entrusting our pups and home to him, and every subsequent interaction expanded that trust. He sent many (very good) photos and videos and took the dogs out on multiple adventures. Their comfort was apparent in every photo. 100% recommend.
We are so grateful for the attention and care and training and fun that Anthony gave our new pup over the holidays. It was a little nerve wracking to leave such a young puppy, but Anthony was so reassuring, sent lots of updates and pictures, and his dog helped train up our dog! Anthony is and his wife are such clearly dog lovers. ❤️. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hornsby Bend
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hornsby Bend on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,537 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hornsby Bend. 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 Hornsby Bend 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 Hornsby Bend 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 Hornsby Bend 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.
