“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!”
“Kayla is amazing! My dog Buttercup loves her and her daughter. I came home and my house was spotless and clean. She took such great care of my doggie and gave her lots of love and sent lots of pics throughout my trip. Highly recommended!”
“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
“Matthew is amazing to sawyer and so accommodating to both my schedule and his own. He even takes him to work with him so he doesn't have to be alone all day- which I super appreciate.”
“Brittney house sat for me and my 2 pups, she is great! I highly recommend her, she left my house super clean and sent lots of picture and updates. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: From Chinchillas to Chow chows, I have cared for them all both professionally and personally for over the last decade. Whether I need to administer medication or comfort during a thunderstorm storm, I’m happy to help your furry family member while you’re away. I work part-time right now and have a lot of extra time in between semesters at school. If your pet is comfortable with other dogs, I can also provide boarding at my home. I have a very sweet female dog at home who really enjoys company, dog or cat. If you would like your pet to stay at my home I have a shady and securely fenced yard as well. Your pet will also have their own space as my laundry room has been converted into a kennel area if they prefer their own space. If your pet prefers to stay at home, I have reliable transportation to make multiple visits daily, or if you prefer your pet to have constant company in home, extended stays are an option at your convenience and comfort level.

About: Took care of my senior Yorkie that lived to be 15. She passed this spring and is missed dearly. Currently have a 7 year loving/clingy cat that I adore. I’ve been raising him since 6 weeks old.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lago Vista
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lago Vista is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $119 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
