“our first time using Rover and we're absolutely delighted! could not have imagined a better caregiver for our three pups! leticia & her husband were amazing with them and even went the extra mile to capture some breathtaking pics!”
About: I’ve dog and cat sat for friends and family since I was a child. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I’m reliable and have the summer off so can be available quickly. I currently have the summer off so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am available quick and can sit overnight in your home if needed. I am available to sit day or night in your home. I understand pets are family and so caring for them is of utmost importance to me.
“Jennifer checked in on my two senior cats for a week and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Both my cats are on medication and with their age I worry about them constantly. Jennifer was great, I was very comfortable leaving them in her hands. She was excellent with communication, send pictures and volunteered her time to come over once before we left town. Would be happy to hire her again!”
“Very kind couple that went out of their way in unusual circumstances. They were fantastic with sending pictures and keeping us up to date with our dog Rocky.”
About: Hi there, my name’s Trinity! I’ve lived with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and the gerbils that I researched months for before presenting my findings to my parents (they caved). Before earning my BA in Psychology, I studied animal science at TTU for two years in hopes to become a veterinarian. While my career has changed drastically, I still love spending time with animals and frequently volunteer with local animal shelters. I currently work two part-time jobs, one during weekday afternoons and the other on weekend mornings. My pets get their meals and walks before I leave for work. I am no stranger to a commute as a recent UTSA grad and as someone who is constantly driving all over town for work/volunteer opportunities. In fact, it gives me more time to listen to music in the car! I have an acre of land with a fenced in backyard with plenty of open space for your favorite child to run around. Our community is in a quiet country neighborhood, perfect for low-risk dog-walking.
About: I have worked in 2 different boarding facilities along with I interned and shadowed and vet for a year. I have lots of experience watching pets in my neighborhood as well as my own dog. Along with having experience with dogs and cats I have experience with horses and cows and being on a ranch. I currently work for a mobile horse vet. I go to college but besides that I am home pretty much all the time and can fit your pet into my day very easily I have a fenced in yard, along with a big house. Room for dog crate or cat crate if they sleep in one along with the house is very clean and nothing for the pet to get in to
“She was flexible with my schedule and able to come at odd hours that I needed since I work evenings! She was great with the pups- played with them safely, fed them and sent detailed reports! Definitely going to book again!”
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”
“Becky went above and beyond, she was able to fit me into her schedule on short notice, and she came early and was patient with my pup, even as she was struggling to get used to a new sitter. Becky gave lots of treats and love to my fur baby, and communicated with me throughout the visit, to help ease my worries.”
“Katriana is amazing! She came by before our trip to meet all the fur babies, see where everything was that is needed to take care of the babies and to reassure me that my babies were in good hands. I felts 100% comfortable leaving all my babies in her hands and the stress that I was feeling was eliminated after meeting her. Our fur babies were loved and taken care of while we were out of town. Katriana is tentative, respectful, reassuring, and loving. I would recommend her to everyone that is looking for a wonderful pet sitter because she goes above and beyond.”
“Thank you Kara for taking care of Gabby! She loved her visits very much. She’s a happy girl! Appreciate your posting photos of her playing and walking. We’ll book with you again when we are here.”
About: I love dogs and have been around them for most of my life. I am a proud owner of a shiba inu(a true rascal) and I love him to death. Your dog will be in good hands with me. Word of caution: he/she will be spoiled with love! I currently work from home everyday of the week! When I am home, your dog(and cat) will have my full attention and be able to go on frequent walks. I have a fenced yard at home so your pet will have all the room to roam inside and outside. Your dog will have a darling companion(my shiba inu) to keep him/her active all day!
“Honestly amazing! I was out of town when I noticed through our cameras that the autofeeder I had for the stray cats wasn't dispensing any food. It was a sudden request but Ashley was able to unjam the feeder and also offered to buy and refill the food when the food ran out. They even hid a package for me that was delivered while I was away so it wasn't stolen. For my first time using Rover I am highly impressed and thankful for Ashley. They additionally provide live updates and pictures during visits which is much appreciated. My request didn't require direct interaction with the cats but I think this is a reflection for how capable and reliable they are.”
About: I’m a Nashville native who just recently moved to the area. I adore caring for fur babies. I hope to love and care for your babies just as you would! My schedule is very flexible during the week, I am typically available Monday through Friday. My weekend availability varies, as well as the holidays. I am looking forward to meeting you all :) I would care for your pups as I would my own. Cuddles, baths, walks, playtime, naps, exercise. Whatever they need I would love to provide.
“We were a little nervous at first with booking drop-in visits through Rover because we have only ever had our dogs taken care of by close friends and family while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, our 70 pound dogs (a senior Lab mix and a 3 year old extremely hyper Doberman) immediately took a liking to Samantha. She gave us such a wonderful first experience with drop-in visits that we now have the peace of mind from having someone that we could depend on and trust with our fur-babies. She was very punctual with our scheduled drop-ins to feed and water them. She also provided a whole lot of love, attention, and playtime. We received updates and entertaining pictures for the visits so we did not have to worry about anything and we knew they were in great hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in La Vernia on Rover is $14.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,208 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Vernia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a La Vernia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Vernia. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
