“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.

Not to mention that my dogs loved her!! Thank you, Raven! We will def be seeing you again!”
“Hannah and her husband were amazing!! They kept me super informed about everything that was going on while I was away. I could tell that Raya was well taken care for and felt so comfortable that she was in their hands. They also kept our house tidy and were great guests. Thanks guys!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for almost a decade in several countries across Europe and professionally in Austin. I like big mutts and I can not lie! After 5pm on Tuesday through Thursday and anytime rest of the week would work for me. No problems house sitting or your pup staying over. I have hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities through pet sitting and boarding. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling energetic or nervous dogs. I focus on making every dog feel safe and comfortable, rather than rushing through the process. Plus, I genuinely love spending time with dogs, so this never feels like just a job to me!
“Matt did a great job taking care of our cat and dog! I’m always nervous leaving them behind when going out of town, but Matt was communicate and made me feel at ease. T hey and our house were well taken care of!”
“Amazing sitter, so responsive and reliable. My anxious dog felt great with her and she sent me loads of photos and updates. With out instructions cleaned up so thoroughly after her stay too. Thanks and would def book again!”
“It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!”
“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”
About: My specialty is small dogs from tiny Chihuahuas too Boston terriers! I absolutely love playing in caring for small animals! I also have a small dog myself! I work from home and I can tailor my work schedule to your dogs needs. If any I have a dog park where I live for residence and I like to go there if it's OK with the pet parents to let the dogs run around and get all the smells the Zumiez, etc.. along with regular potty breaks throughout the day. I know this is off topic but I'm super close to the airport so it's super convenient if you need to fly out! Knowing your pet is safe, happy, and cared for is priceless. Building long-term relationships with pets and their parents matters! I care for these fur babies as if they were my own.
About: I’m unemployed as a tech worker. Have been a cat mom since I was little, like 6 yrs old. My passion is pets. I’d love to spend my time, outside of my job search, hanging out with more pets! We have 2 cats and a senior dog. Hey y’all! My name is Robin. I love animals so I figured, why not join as a pet-sitter (in addition to a Rover user). I work from home so I’m around most of the day. We have a large 4 bedroom home with a fenced in backyard. I have a smaller and super chill older doggy, Sebastian, and 2 cats; Charlie, (who minds his own business) and Sasha our little princess…also chill.
“Reuben was great with all 3 of my pets (2 dogs & 1 cat) and also took great care of the house. He was very communicative, followed all requests, sent tons of pictures, and spent a lot of time at home with them. He also made sure to leave the house in pristine condition. I'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Brittany is a fantastic sitter. I was able to go on vacation worry-free knowing that my sweet cat was under her care. She is kind, communicative, and I would hire her again without a doubt.”
“This is the first time w had Briana for our dog Heidi. Briana was wonderful. She was punctual as well as flexible with coordinating what we needed. Heidi immediately responded positively to Briana. We will definitely use Briana again and highly recommend her.”
“Shoutout to Evalise!!! This young lady saved me and my dog’s weekend and left me out of worry completely. From her availability, great attitude, independency and reliance, to just feeling comfortable letting her be in my space while I’m gone and putting my pup in her hands. She was communicating with me all along and sending me pictures- glad she found a connection with Rhea too. I’m greatful for having this app and experiences like the one with Evalise proves me why. Thank you!!!”
“Amber is so sweet, with great attention to detail and thorough communication during her stay! Our dogs loved her, and she helped them stay comfortable through nights of neighborhood fireworks and thunderstorms. Can't wait for her to come again!”
“Michelle was a phenomenal sitter for us. She stayed in our home and cared for our beloved big boy Orion for 3 nights. She sent us pics and updates and followed our instructions to the letter. Highly recommend her for future clients!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hornsby Bend
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!
Robin stayed overnight with Alfie and Cachi, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they received. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. Alfie and Cachi were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of, and Robin kept us updated which gave us total peace of mind. We came home to happy doggies and a great experience overall. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend Robin!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hornsby Bend is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
