About: I have had my dog Scooter for 9 years. He is a Dachshund who has lived with dogs as big as a Newfie/Saint Bernard as well as small dogs like pugs. I haven't found one that he hasn't gotten along with. I can provide a wide range of services and live only 5 minutes from work so I can usually stop home every couple hours to meet the needs of your pet. When I go out of town I know the level of comfort I need to leave my dog with someone so I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet enjoys their time and you have peace of mind in whatever service I can provide to you. I look forward to working with you and your pets!

About: Howdy, my name is Brianna and I just recently graduated Texas A&M University. I’ve been around dogs and animals all my life and own my own fur ball named Duck. I would love to share my love for animals with your very own whether it be a dog or cat …. Or chickens!!! :) I don’t discriminate! I’m currently taking a gap from from school so I don’t really have a hard set schedule at the moment. I’m available early mornings or late at night Every pet owner has a routine for their own so I like to do things as the owner would feel most comfortable. For my dog Duck I take her on 2-3 walks a day (depending on how hot it is outside) 2 of those walks take place on a hover board as she runs besides me, it’s her fav! I also drop in on cats and feed, water, and spend quality time with them as well as dogs. As I’ve said before I’m here for you how ever you need me to be!
About: Growing up, we have always had fur babies in the house. I have since moved out on my own leaving two doodle breeds with my parents at home. Always living with pups in the house, my family/friends have trusted and relied on me to walk/feed/bathe and most importantly LOVE on them for as long as I can remember! I have experience with mostly any breed from doodles, pits, shepherds, boxers, huskies and smaller breeds as well! I currently work a full time, 3-4 day a week position. I have availability all day on my off days, Wednesday/Friday/Saturday. My friday/saturday off-day split makes a perfect opportunity to care for your fur babies during the weekends! I currently live in an apartment and am unable to care for pups here at this time as they have a strict no visiting policy. But I am more than able to travel to you and am able to crate them if preferred/needed.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays depending on my schedule. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and always make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm, and safe environment, pay close attention during walks and visits, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

I’m on this app to help those like me (with crazy busy schedules) to make sure all their animals (not just dogs and cats, I can also help with others) are well taken care off! If you have an additional questions feel free to message me! Since I do work I know the true importance of giving your fur babies the time they need! So anytime I’m not working I’m doing fun engaging activities with them! Whether it’s walks, training, or even just mental stimulation activities!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in La Vernia is $15 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $17 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 La Vernia 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
