“Not only does Jena take good care of our 2 pups, she cares for our home while we are away. She leaves the house spotless (which I know is a task in itself with 2 Labs), washes the linens, gave Mav a bath and they seem to miss her when we get home! Highly recommend Jena, she’s also very communicative while we are away from our babies. Thank you, Jena!”
“Nathan was absolutely wonderful as our house and dog sitter while we were away for Spring Break! From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease leaving both our home and our dog in his care. He stayed in our home and treated it with great respect, everything was clean and just as we left it when we returned. Most importantly, our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly got plenty of attention and exercise while we were gone. Nathan kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We truly appreciated how attentive and responsible he was, and it made a big difference knowing everything at home was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would love to have him back again in the future!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Trevor was the perfect sitter! He went the extra mile with lots of photo/video updates and gave lots of attention to Colby making sure he had a great balance of play and cuddles. He also took great care of our house (which felt even cleaner when we got home than when we left. 😆) Will absolutely be booking Trevor again. Easy to relax on a trip when we knew things were so well taken care of at home.”
“If I could give Kayla a 9 million star review, I would! She went above and beyond in ALL OF THE WAYS while staying at our home with our Great Dane Banksy! She was in constant and detailed communication with us and she sent picture and video updates which allowed us to watch in real time our very shy, sensitive, unsure girl fall in love with Kayla and her daughter! It was so special! 🥰 We actually had to extend our trip due to last minute cancelled flights and our biggest concern, who would take care of Banksy until we got home, was immediately taken care of because of Kayla’s flexibility and understanding and incredible care. When we got home, our house was in even better order than when we left it. She’s amazing. I cannot recommend her enough. Click the button and book her today!! I promise you it’ll be one of the best decisions you make for your fur babies!”
“Matthew was nothing short of amazing! He sent great updates, hilarious photos and took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats. Our vacation was so relaxing knowing that our pets & home were in good hands. Prompt communication and flexibility with our initial meeting was greatly appreciated as well. He went above and beyond and even made the bed up fresh as we were getting in late. Thank you!!!”
“Tessa was wonderful during her stay of four nights with our little morkie Coco they bonded she took her for walks everyday and played with her. She also has dog training experience and worked on some training with her as well. We felt that she communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us pictures and videos to relax our minds that Coco was in good hands! We would recommend Tessa to anyone and will definitely be calling on her for future trips!”
About: As a life long dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe and protected environment for your pet along with exercise and attention. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt my availability to your specific needs whether you are taking an extended vacation or just an overnight stay. I've been caring for pets for many years and understand how important routine is. I am available to stay in your home to maintain that routine or provide drop in service.
“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.”
“"We can't express how grateful we have found Jason as our dog sitter. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only competent and trustworthy but also genuinely passionate about dogs, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason. He provided us with peace of mind during our time away and became a true friend to our furry companions. We'll definitely be reaching out to him for all our future dog-sitting needs!"”
“Amazing person, caregiver, dog sitter, all around the best pet sitter we’ve used. Our boxer had a super complicated surgery and Treka was so good with him afterwards. She kept a super close eye on him and made sure he was comfortable and stayed as calm as can be. We are so lucky we found her!!!”
“Sarah is wonderful. My pups feel so comfortable in her care, she provides updates regularly throughout the days shes there, and she makes a huge effort to keep them on their regular schedules. Highly recommend.”
“She was great at providing me daily updates during the in-home sitting. I could tell from the pics that my dog was comfortable and happy. I would definitely use her again to stay with my dog if I need it in the future.”
“Kate was so good with our pups. They love her and feel very comfortable with her which in turn gives me comfort while I’m away. Thank you, Kate! I would definitely recommend her and will be working with her in the future. I especially love the pictures with you, your questions, and you checking in and updating me regularly.”
About: Hi there! I’m Courtney and I have three years of dog training under my belt, I've trained and cared for hundreds of dogs and animals of all varieties. From puppies, to senior dogs, to anxious dogs. From cats, to birds, even to snakes. I also house sit and take care of plants, mail, and all the extra house things at no extra cost. I take care of everything. I currently work in marketing at a 9-5 and I am remote on Wednesdays. I am a homebody and am usually always available, and trying to raise money to pay off student loans. I take them on long walks, make sure they have indoor play time, lots of cuddles, fed, watered, treats, and have background music on so they are not anxious. I am always talking to them so they can hear my voice and know that I am in a relaxed and friendly mood.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lago Vista is $50

Vanessa was wonderful with our two fur babies. Our 1 year old Basset Hound is very timid with new people, however she quickly warmed up to Vanessa. Vanessa stayed in communication with us throughout our time away, sending regular updates and photos of our pups. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were well cared for and loved while we were gone. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and highly recommend her!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
