“Valentina was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and well loved. She was kind, communicative, and reliable throughout our trip. We came home to very happy dogs, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. We would absolutely book with Valentina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Michelle was absolutely great taking care of our little one and our home while we were gone for 13 days. She is a rare find and a truly calm, gentle soul. She definitely earned all her great reviews. We did a meet and greet first where she came to our home and we knew after that meeting that she was the one! Finding a great pet/house sitter is harder than it seems. So many on Rover don't really seem to understand the meaning of house sitting. It means you actually live in the house with the fur babies not leave every 4 hours and be gone all day. Rest assured Michelle will live in your house so your anxious fur baby remains in their comfort zone and routine. I work from home so I wanted to mimic that level of human presence that out little guy has become accustomed to and she was able to provide that. Michelle took care of little chores like watering plants and feeding our fish, but most importantly she took care of our little baby with plenty of play time and constant companionship. She was very responsive over messenger even though we were in another country. And when we came home the house was perfectly clean and in order. We highly recommend Michelle for pet/house sitting and we will certainly be using her again!”
About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.
“Maya was great! She came early to meet with Ryder before we left on our trip. She communicated very well throughout the weekend and followed all the instructions on routine, meds, and play time. I was nervous because Ryder was on new medicines with a lot of side effects and wasn’t as friendly as normal but she handled it with grace. We got loads of cute photos which gave me a lot of comfort. I will certainly use her again and recommend her to others.”
“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. ❤️”
“Matt has been an excellent communicator and pet sitter. He demonstrates so much care and concern for our pets and he will be a go-to for us well into the future. We give Matt our highest recommendation”

“Kirby has been fantastic taking care of Clyde and updating us along the way! We feel very confident in leaving our dog with her and knowing he’s treated well and having fun! Thank you, Kirby!! 11/10”
“Trevor was such a great sitter for our labradoodle, Odin. From the start his communication was consistent, clear and he included plenty of updates and pictures. We have our dog on a pretty consistent schedule and Trevor was able to accommodate to everything. We appreciate Trevor and know Odin loved having him with him! Can’t recommend Trevor enough.”
“Amelia did a great job at watching our puppy Winnie and kept us up to date and sent photos! She left our place just as we left it and was very friendly. Would recommend booking with her :)”
“Brittany was absolutely incredible! She looked after our pups and our home perfectly while we were away. Her communication was stellar, we loved getting the daily picture updates, which gave us total peace of mind. We returned home to very happy, relaxed dogs and a perfectly clean house. Brittany is reliable, trustworthy, and a true professional. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Romy went above and beyond to care for our dog who was sick. She was very communicative and made us feel confident that our dog was in good hands. We returned to a spotless home and a happy pup — can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I am a huge animal lover, I have boarded many doogos and kitties over the years and it is some of the best times of my life. The joy the bring and the company they keep is invaluable. I work from home, so having animals at home is a no brainer. It also helps me move about the day and break up the day. I keep a close eye on the animals, and ensure that they all get along. Being here at home also helps ensure they do not act up.
“Michelle stayed with Luna for a week, and she took care of both our dog and our house beautifully. I think our house is in better shape than when we left it! Michelle kept us updated with messages and pictures while we were away. Awesome pet-sitter!”
About: In our home, every dog receives attention, love, and constant supervision.

“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”

This was our first overnight sit with Paula, and she was amazing! She didn’t hold back when it came to caring for my partially paralyzed dog and was incredibly patient with my emotional pup. She kept me updated on her time with the dogs and sent regular updates on both of them. We’re excited to have her sit for us again in August!
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 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 4,489 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.
