“Jena was an amazing sitter! Hands down one of the best that we have ever had. She took extraordinary care of our 3 pups, as well as our home. She was great with pupdates throughout her stay along with some great pics of our pups. She even celebrated our own pup’s bday for us with the cutest little party! We highly recommend Jena and will 100% continue to book with her!”
About: Hey! I’m a work-from-home sitter in Lago Vista with 10+ years of cat experience and grew up with dogs. My husband and I used to team up, but now it’s just me visiting while he stays home with our five cats. Living with five different cats, I get how unique each pet’s routine and quirks can be. I stick closely to your instructions- meds, feeding, whatever your pet needs- and keep things calm and low-stress. I only take local clients so I can be consistent and actually present. Since I can’t have a dog right now, time with yours is my puppy fix; I love all animals. You can expect clear updates, quick responses, and care that’s genuine 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. In your home, I follow your instructions and treat your space with respect — noting hiding spots, food preferences, and behavior cues to keep your pet at ease. Meds are given carefully, on schedule, and I stay alert to any changes in health or behavior. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is a calm, therapeutic experience for your pet.
“Makaelah did a great job with our dog Luna. Luna can be apprehensive to new people at first and she went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable. Also she updated me on how things were going which I really appreciated while we were on vacation. We will book her again for our next vacation.”
“Alyssa was great! She continuously kept us informed as we were away. She sent lots of photos of our critters and really shows she cares about what she does. Thank you, Alyssa!”
About: We are a family of 5 - Erika (Spouse) Me (Patrick), Cailen (Little boy of 3yrs), Cherie (Boxer) and Chiquito (Chihuahua) always 5 in same room, love at all time and caring having fun in yard, water and running! Nobody cares about dogs like we do... provide treats, care and very loving towards dogs. Dogs travel with us, dog follows us everywhere, shaded back yard so they can run, they swim with us in the little kids pool they take sun or simply chill.... very easy life here and plenty of place to run or relax as needed. No furniture in house is off limits. You break or chew then we lose that privilege. Simple, dog fun and be reassured we will treat your dog as we'd expect you treat ours.
“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.”
“Kylie is so sweet. My cats responded differently to me when I came home, so I know they had a good time with her. She communicated on my door cam when she was leaving. Would definitely recommend.”
“Sarah was so incredibly kind and patient with Sherlock, especially as he had a bad start of his time with her. We came back to an immaculate home and happy fur babies. Thanks so much Sarah!”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Madchen is absolutely amazing. She stayed with my dogs and cats for a week and a half and took phenomenal care of them (and the house)! My son was very nervous leaving his pets, so she sent daily pictures with notes on what they were doing each day, which greatly helped put his anxiety at ease. She was extremely communicative and responsive the entire time, including leading up to the stay. I cannot recommend Madchen enough, she will absolutely be my go-to person moving forward. Thank you, Madchen!!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, I am comfortable handling animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, small animals and more. This diverse experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique needs and behaviors. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, playtime, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same compassion, respect, and attention I give my own. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I am an entrepreneur and home schooling mama. I spend most of my time outdoors on my quiet, humble 10 acre property, with all my animals. I mostly work from home and sometimes in and out of the house for work calls. I have a beautiful, large fenced in deck that overlooks our property canyon. Additionally, I have a chain link dog run right off the deck. I regularly exercise my pups around the property as well. My personal dogs (3 Dachshunds and a Golden Retriever) spend most of the day outside playing on the deck and sun bathing. They have access to clean water at all times. I generally crate the smaller dogs at night. My cat prefers my daughter’s bedroom, so he’s rarely seen. I am happy to accommodate whatever needs and requests you have for your pet.
“Kelsie was great with our big pup! She gave regular updates including photos throughout the weekend. She was really easy to communicate with leading up to and throughout the time she stayed at our home. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Kayla did amazing!! She took great care of our 2 girls. After 3 weeks away it was awesome to come and see our dogs happy and in excellent conditions! She also took very good care of our house and left everything clean. We would leave our dogs with her any time. Thank you very much Kayla!”
“Mandy went above and beyond for us. We contacted her to pet sit last minute, after another Rover sitter canceled 12 hours before we left for an international trip. She was understanding, accommodating, and so sweet with our pets. We would not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you, you’re the best Mandy!!”
“We needed a sitter on a short notice and Stephanie obliged to our request. We have energetic dogs and they sometimes forget their manners when they meet new people. She was very patient and even took the time to train them.”
“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”
About: From dogs, cats, horses, pigs, sheep, and a rabbit, I have great experience in a wide variety of pets since I was 7. I have a special place in my heart for the herding and retriever breeds and am knowledgeable about the varying grooming, diet, and exercise habits across breeds. My goal is to make your pet feel as if you never left! My work from home schedule allows me to work anywhere with an internet connection. I am not currently able to have any pets in my apartment, and I would enjoy an opportunity to borrow your pet while you're away! A pet that sees me as confident will be a pet with less anxiety and concern in your absence. Be assured that your pet will be treated in the same manner and on the same schedule you have set in your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lago Vista
Makaelah was so easy to work with and took exceptional care of my Gidget as well as my house. Gidget is older so she requires a little more care than other dogs, and Makaelah stayed on top of everything, making sure to give me daily updates and photos. I came home to thriving plants that had been watered according to my instructions, a house that was just the way I left it and a happy pet. Would definitely use Makaelah again and recommend to anyone looking for a top notch pet and house sitter.
Jena was absolutely amazing. We have a scaredy pup and a senior and after spending just an hr with her in their intro the scaredy pup was already getting used to her (this usually takes like 3+ hrs with somebody new). He missed her when she left after the two night stay! She did an amazing job and even taught him new tricks lol We instantly felt comfortable with her and had no reservations leaving our house and our pups in her care! She sent a bunch of pics and it was obvious that she was taking amazing care of our furbabies. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jena to anybody and will be using her again when their Mimi isn’t able to watch them!
We valued the responsiveness of Meg to the needs of our pets. She demonstrated her ability to adapt to one dog having several days of stomach issues and a bit more snow around the house than we had expected. She sent pictures daily, which we appreciated and gave us a summary of the week in a hand written note, which was helpful for us as well. Thank you for the snuggle time with the pups as well, Meg!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lago Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lago Vista on Rover is $49.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,510 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lago Vista. 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 Lago Vista 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 Lago Vista 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 Lago Vista 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
