“Jennifer took amazing care of our puppies while we were gone for a week. She sent pictures and took absolutely great care of our house. I’m always so anxious leaving my girls behind and I felt great knowing they were in good hands!”
“Kellie did an amazing job with our aging pup Jordyn and our goldfish Lared! She was excellent at communication and did an amazing job! We couldn’t be more happy with our choice, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Ryan was so kind to help me watch my pets again on very very short notice. Just like last time, I came back to happy animals and a house that was tidier than I left it! Thank you Ryan!”
“We are so grateful to have found Lilly! She went above and beyond taking care of our sweet girl, Penny, and our home. Our dog is slow to warm-up to new people, and Lilly was patient and let Penny come to her. She sent regular updates and communicated well. We will definitely use Lilly again in the future when we need help! She even washed and cleaned the sheets and left a sweet note. Anyone looking for a pet and home sitter would be lucky to have her.”
“Heather and her husband were great with our 3 dogs, who are usually a bit nervous around new people. They loved them immediately! Heather was communicative the entire 5 days we were gone which was helpful as we had never left them alone for this long before. Will use again!”
“Briana did a great job taking care of our dog pack. We know it’s not easy with having a multiple dog household with different personalities and she was very patient with them, especially while everyone was also getting used to a new human in their space. Any time there was a question she would raise it with us to see how we preferred to proceed (ex: one of our girls has digestive issues and isn’t very good at keeping an eating schedule). We really appreciate her care and patience and arrived home to happy and loved girls.”
“Cheles was amazing. Kora loved him from the beginning and his energy is great. Cheles even taught her how to shake which was awesome. Throughout the night he kept us updated on how Kora was doing and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend Cheles and will have him sit for us again.”
“We have two big pups that can be overly friendly during first meetings, but that didn’t phase Amber at all! She seemed extremely comfortable during our meet and greet, which immediately put me at ease. We were so lucky that Amber was available during our trip, and she did a great job of keeping us updated. We look forward to working with Amber again for future trips!”
About: helloo! And welcome to my rover page 😃 A little about me I’m from Nashville and been in Austin for 2 years.I currently work in a small animal clinic as a veterinary assistant. I worked as a kennel tech but I only worked with dogs at the time I have 2 dogs which they are a blue heeler name luna and a border collie name Susie they’re back home in TN with their grandparent, as well the cat is my sister’s but that’s my little nephew Ernie. I always cared for animals since a kid I absolutely love caring them. *****PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING**** Dog parents: if you need me to walk or care for your dog, I do recommend that you let me meet your dog in person just so your dog can be aware and to see if he/she likes me. If it’s last minute, that’s fine but it just depends on your dog’s energy. If they are a leash puller when walking please let me know as well or reactivate to other dogs as well. Last minute booking: I am only available at 6pm (during the week) if you need me to walk your dog or any service that might be needed. As of right now I am not accepting super last minute I need a day in advance not the day of. Cat parents: You don’t necessarily have to do a meet up since cats are mostly chill. If your pet takes medication please let me know if they have to take it with food or if I will have any problems giving them their meds. I AM CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE TO DO DROP INS MID DAY. I AM ONLY AVAILABLE TO CHECK ON YOUR PET IN THE MORNING 7am-9am AND EVENINGS 6:00pm-8:30pm. ANY SERVICES THAT ARE REQUESTED IN THW AFTERNOON WILL BE DECLINED. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PAYMENT OUTSIDE OF ROVER Im pretty quick on replying but 7pm I stopped using my phone. If you happen to send me a message during that time I will most likely reply back to you in the morning between 7am or 10am. IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND WITHIN 12-24 HOURS. SERVICE WILL BE DECLINED. Housesit: Please provide any information the day of the service start. Meaning instructions to get inside. I will mostly likely reach out the day before the service start to make sure the days you requested are correct or need to make last minute adjustments. Pictures will be taken during my stay with them but usually send them the last day. If you would like me to send them daily while I am with your pet please let me know. Please communicate with me and be mindful If you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to answer your questions ☺️ I work as a veterinary assistant full time at a small animal clinic and used to be a kennel tech at a dog boarding place. I love to comfort animals and giving them hugs. I will follow any instructions that are given and will answer any questions that the client has. I will make are that the pet is comfortable being around me because to the pet I am a stranger and isn’t aware on what’s going on.
“Carmen is the best! We love having her watch our pups and always know they are in good hands. She watched the dogs while we were out of the country and we came back to a clean home and freshly washed sheets! YAY!”
“Kimmie is always my go to person. This time she had some issues with one of our pets getting sick. The directions we left her were confusing so she called us. I always appreciate receiving a call from Kimmie, especially to let me know one of our pets was sick. We cleared up the medication instructions and when I got home my pet was well on the way back to health. Thank you Kimmie for being so responsive and calling me.”
“Irving was fabulous. We are RV'ing here in Texas for our granddaughters HS graduation and two weeks ago, lost our oldest dog, Maverick. Oliver, our five month old puppy hasn't been alone since his passing and we were concerned leaving him alone during the graduation ceremony. Irving was a last minute booking and we are so grateful he accepted our request. I couldnt be more pleased. Thank you Irving.”
“Regan was amazing and very professional. Great communication while we were away. Took great care of our animals and even gave our dog a bath. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“The best dog sitter!! Darla has truly saved us this last month with all the travel we have had to do. She is so responsive and I know our dog was in great hands! Our flight was majorly delayed and she stayed extra time to make sure he was cared for. Our house is always clean, she sends us tons of pictures and videos, and we cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been caring for my friend's and families' dogs for over 15 years. They trust me to care for their dogs like I would my own and know that their dog will be given the best care possible. I work full time but I work from home so your dog would not be left alone for long periods of time. I would only be away from home for small periods of time for errands if anything. I have a house with a large fenced yard. While my dog Gunnar is very dog friendly, I do require a meet and greet so you can get to know me better and give our dogs a chance to get to know each other. We want your dog's stay to be as fun for them, and stress free for you, as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hutto
This was our first time having Sophia over to house sit and watch our pups, and it will definitely not be the last! She kept us posted on how the pups were doing while we were gone, and the house was just as clean when we returned as we'd left it! No worries on either front and I'm so happy to have found her 😊
We are so grateful to have found Lilly! She went above and beyond taking care of our sweet girl, Penny, and our home. Our dog is slow to warm-up to new people, and Lilly was patient and let Penny come to her. She sent regular updates and communicated well. We will definitely use Lilly again in the future when we need help! She even washed and cleaned the sheets and left a sweet note. Anyone looking for a pet and home sitter would be lucky to have her.
Tasha was amazing. Above and beyond what we expected. She was very communicative, very supportive and respectful. I am also a fellow dog sitter and my first time having someone watch my dogs. She took care of them like they were her own. She would send pictures and videos and you can tell they were so happy and loved on 😊 🥰. We are Definitely going to be booking with her for our next sitting ❤️
This was the second time I’ve booked Serena, and she was great with my blind/deaf dog, Shiola. She was responsive, gave consistent updates, and was very respectful of my home. It’s nice to know that my dog is in good hands when I’m out of town, and I hope I’m able to book her again for my next trip!
Aimee did an amazing job watching our animals during spring break. She sent multiple updates and photos of our Fur babies. We will definitely look into using her again when we go on vacation. It was wonderful to know they all were taken care of and happy with her watching them.
I cannot recommend Kathryn enough!! She has watched my dog 2 different times, each did an AMAZING job! She kept me updated with multiple pictures and the cutest texts about my Opal girl. Super easy to communicate with and always responded so so fast! I definitely recommend booking her for your future Rover Sitter! Thank you SO SO MUCH Kathryn.
Cheles was great. He stayed with my anxious pups at night, and sent lots of pics of happy playtime during the day. He was really communicative and helpful about things like bringing in packages and working around our cleaning service coming by one day. House was well-kept, and the dogs actually looked kind of disappointed when we got home ;)

FAQs for House Sitting - Hutto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hutto on Rover is $49.95 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 4,204 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hutto. 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 Hutto 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 Hutto 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 Hutto 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hutto. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
