“Geoff was great and I’m so glad he was able to house sit my husky, Jacob, when I had to travel to a conference at the last minute. He constantly sent updates with pics and videos and I could tell my pup was a very happy boy to have a friend to play with while I was gone for three day. I highly recommend Geoffrey and would use his services again.”

“Always such a joy to have Jason watch my Shihtzu Leonard. He is always so kind and patient with him. Jason will continue to be our go-to dog sitter when needed in the Austin area. Thank you for loving Leonard, Jason!”

“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.”

“Cassidy was an absolute lifesaver! Our sweet Emma came down with a bad stomach bug, and we had to book care with only about 3 hours’ notice. Cassidy not only accepted the last-minute request but showed up right on time, ready to help before we had to head out to a concert. She took wonderful care of Emma while we were gone and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you, Cassidy 🐾”


“Katherine was amazing with our 2 Great Danes and Blue tick coonhound. It was the first time our 6 y/o Danes stayed with anyone overnight, and one of them experienced some pretty high anxiety while we were gone. However, Katherine literally took care of everything! For the first time since we’ve had our dogs, I was able to travel with any worry at all knowing they were in good, capable hands. I highly recommend Katherine! She is communicative, responsible, and genuinely a great caregiver for furry family members.”

About: I’m a work-from-home sitter based in Lago Vista with over ten years of experience caring for cats, and I grew up with dogs. While my husband and I have worked as a duo in the past, these days it’ll be me caring for your pets while he stays home with ours. We have five cats of our own, so I understand firsthand how different each pet can be — their routines, quirks, and the specific ways they prefer to be approached. I take a calm, thoughtful approach and follow your care instructions closely, whether that’s medications, specific feeding routines, or simply letting them set the pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I focus primarily on local clients, which allows me to provide consistent, reliable care and be fully present for each one. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and while we have all cats now, I consider my time with your dog as my puppy fix since I can't have one of my own right now. I have a genuine love and respect for all life and creatures. While your pets are in my care, you can expect clear communication, swift responsiveness, respect for your home, and care that’s kind, consistent, genuine, therapeutic and dependable. I work from home full-time, and care for our five cat babies along with my husband. Because of my schedule, I can offer flexible and reliable care for your babies while you’re away. My home is a calm, clean, cat-friendly environment - no loose hazards, secure spaces, and a routine that keeps animals feeling settled. With five cats of my own, I’m practiced at introducing new animals carefully and reading their comfort level every step of the way. In your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. I make note of any hiding spots, food preferences, behavioral cues, and anything else that helps your pet feel at ease. Medications are administered carefully and on schedule, and I stay observant for any changes in behavior or health. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is a therapeutic experience for all.

“Amber was lovely! Sat for the day in my home on a last minute request, checked in frequently with updates and pictures, and followed all care instructions ❤️ Thank you for the great care!”

“Always love being able to leave and know my dogs are in the absolute best hands! If we are able to book with Madchen, we always do. Our dogs truly love her and our home is always tidier than when we left, which is such a blessing. We’re so thankful to have found Madchen!”

“This was the first time we have had someone house sit with our dog. Our senior pup has become more anxious when left for longer periods of time. When he was younger, he had no problem with our neighbors just dropping by occ to fed and let out. We started taking to vet for longer boards (3+days) but he was so anxious after we picked him up, that he would not let us out of his sight. Soo, we decided to try someone staying with him. Rebecca did Great! She was gentle with him and his needs, kept the house clean, followed our directions and tried to accomplish requests as we were away. Quick communication back when we texted. Our pup was calm and did not appear stressed when we got home. He kept looking for Rebecca, though. Missed her. :-)”
“Jere was so attentive and communicative! I loved how well she understood the dogs and felt my pups were well cared for and safe so I could focus and enjoy myself on our vacation!!!”

About: My family has owned hunting dogs for years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’ve helped with training, reinforcing good behavior, daily walks, exercise, feeding, and plenty of affection. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and safety when caring for pets. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures or just wants extra cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available at almost any time, as I don’t start school until August! I can stay over night on most weekends, but just check with me to be sure! I have a portable crate that can take small-medium dogs or cats on adventures! I can do walks, clean up, playtime, sleepovers and lots of cuddles!

“Rylee was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our puppy while we were away. From the start, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made us feel completely at ease. She provided daily photos and updates that gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone! She took such great care of everything and treated our puppy like her own, which meant the world to us. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and everything exactly as it should be. You can tell Rylee genuinely cares about what she does and consistently goes the extra mile without hesitation. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us and would happily trust her again in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Mirra did a fantastic job with our two dogs, Hobbes and Link. She sent us daily photo updates, and played with our boys a ton to keep them active and tired. She also offered to clean up the house a bit and changed our bed sheets before leaving. We would book with her again!”

About: Growing up, my home was always filled with many dogs and that early experience taught me how to understand different personalities and make every pup feel comfortable. Over the years I’ve also been a trusted dog sitter for friends, neighbors, and family, caring for dogs with all sorts of routines and energy levels. I’m confident with puppies who need structure, older dogs who need patience, and everything in between. What sets me apart is the calm, reliable care I bring to every visit and my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs so they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits easily into my routine, especially during the summer when I’m home from college and have plenty of availability. I’m able to schedule visits, walks, and check‑ins throughout the day, so pets get consistent attention and care. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs — so your pet feels secure in their own space. I take time to build trust, offer plenty of attention, and keep things clean . Since I’m home from college for the summer and have lots of flexibility, I’m able to give pets consistent check‑ins and companionship throughout the day.
“Kailiany was great! She took great care of my Labrador and house sat for me with no issues. Always had a prompt response when I texted to check in. Would definitely recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jonestown
Laci went above and beyond to take care of both our dogs, but especially one that needed extra, unexpected attention. The day before our trip, one of our dogs ingested some Vitamin D gel tabs. Laci was scheduled to start only 12 hours later. What was supposed to be an easy house sitting gig turned into a complex and cumbersome ordeal. We offered Laci an out, but instead, Laci enthusiastically offered to follow through despite the need to drive our dog daily for blood work and to administer a special diet and medication 3 times a day. Laci followed vet orders to the letter and never complained. I highly recommend Laci who is responsible and competent beyond their years. Highly recommend!

Abby was great with our three dogs! She was able to handle all medicine doses for two of our dogs, plus all meals on the needed schedule. The dogs loved her and we know that they were in great hands. We highly recommend Abby and would definitely use her services again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jonestown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jonestown on Rover is $69.46 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,499 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jonestown. 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 Jonestown 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 Jonestown 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 Jonestown 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.
