“Jessica always takes good care of my boys Bennie and Maxx. They are both on meds and she always makes sure they get their dose when needed. She is dependable and my boys look forward to her visits.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.
“Nathan took great care of our dog Louie, cat Sushi and our home. Nathan was very communicative and provide status throughout his stay. Our home on our return showed he took well care of it. Would definitely recommend Nathan to others.”
“Kayla is amazing! My dog Buttercup loves her and her daughter. I came home and my house was spotless and clean. She took such great care of my doggie and gave her lots of love and sent lots of pics throughout my trip. Highly recommended!”
“Working with Jessica was a dream! She came over to our house a few days prior to meet the dogs. They loved her. As I shared instructions, she digested all the info in one go and executed on them so well. We didn’t have to repeat ourselves at all — impressive! While we were away, she gave us regular sweet updates and was very independent. When the dogs did unruly things (like my pyrenees pulling her into a nearby body of water for an unexpected swim), she stayed upbeat and had the situation totally handled before contacting us. We felt in very good hands. When we came back, our house looked great! Towels cleaned, bed stripped, floor swept, and even some veggies shared from her garden 🤗 We hope to book Jessica again for our next trip.”
“Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter. She took such good care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for about 5 days. We got tons of video and picture updates, and she also helped out with a few things around the house. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or care for their pets.”
“Absolutely outstanding experience! Kate cared for our dogs and cat and also watched our home, and she exceeded expectations in every way. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with thoughtful updates and daily photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of that, she left our home spotless, which was such a great surprise to come back to. It genuinely felt like our home and pets were treated with the same care and attention she would give her own. If you are even considering hiring Kate, do it immediately! We will absolutely book Kate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter.”
“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Courtney. She took care of Angel so well! Usually Angel gets so stressed out when I leave since she’s with me all the time. When I came back home Angel was extremely calm and looked like she was half asleep which never happens when I leave . Angel took to Courtney right away as soon as she came in. I would recommend Courtney to anyone who needed their fur babies watched. She is prompt, very polite and you can immediately tell she loves dogs and vice versa. Thank you SO MUCH Courtney for taking care of “ My Girl “🥹💝”
“Katharine was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute request to care for our pup after another sitter canceled last minute. Easy to communicate with and dependable. Would rebook again!”
About: Hi! I'm Kiah, a mom, music teacher, and lifelong animal lover. I've been working with animals since high school, when I spent three years working in a veterinary office. I later worked at Midtown Board & Grooming from 2016-2018, caring for dogs in a professional setting. I've owned and cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, snakes, fish, and other small animals. I continue to pet sit for neighbors, friends, and local families, providing dependable care for their beloved pets while they're away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I've helped raise puppies from birth and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra companionship, I'll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work a flexible schedule as a piano teacher so I have plenty of time to work for your pet! My teaching schedule is 3 days during the week from the hours of 6-8 and the rest of the time I am home taking care of my son, pets and the house. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following the specific routines and instructions provided by their owner. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, welcoming environment and maintain their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. For in-home visits, I follow the client’s instructions carefully and make sure their pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own space. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level, and I keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Dogs have always been part of my life, and I know how much peace of mind it brings to trust that your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart? I’m not just a sitter. I aim to provide a home-away-from-home experience for your pup. With us, your dog can look forward to: A large, fenced corner-lot backyard for safe running and playtime. Plenty of walks, mind-stimulating puzzles and games, and cuddle sessions to keep pups happy and relaxed. Experience caring for a range of temperaments, from playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch. Your pup will get personal attention all day, since I stay at home and love having dogs as my daily companions. Every dog has their own personality, so I always encourage a meet-and-greet first. It’s important that your pup feels at ease and that our chemistry works before we move forward As I’m home full-time, I’m available throughout the day to provide your dog with the care and companionship they deserve. Walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime all happen on a routine schedule tailored to match what they’re used to at home.

“Julia took great care of our two old lady cats and our apartment while we were away for a couple weeks. It’s always nerve wracking to leave them, but she put us at ease. Would be happy to work with Julia again and recommend her highly.”
“Itzel was incredible!! Asked all the right questions at the meet & greet, was responsive when I texted her in between then and the actual booking, & then was extremely communicative throughout the whole stay. She was at my place & sent pictures, videos and updates throughout the week, as well as kept my apartment looking great (even washed the towels and blankets!). I know my dog Ziggy absolutely loved her and he was so well taken care of, especially on Christmas. She gave him lots of attention and love and he was so happy when I returned but I know he misses her! Signs of a great sitter :) Will recommend her to anyone and will book with her again!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Horseshoe Bay is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $72 and $116 per night.

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 Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay 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.
