“Rachel took time off her own personal schedule to come by more than once before she stayed with Phoebe and Mystery to spend time with them and get to know them. We were out of the country for her booking and she stayed in our home making sure our girls were loved and taken care of. Came back to happy girls and a clean home and she was great to communicate with sending us updates and pictures. We are so grateful for her service and time!”
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
“Jen was amazing with our two dogs. She walked them daily, provided tons of photos, and played with them. She stayed at our house and was clean and tidy. Would definitely trust her with our dogs again!!”
“Timothy responded so quickly and really helped us when our other booking had to unexpectedly be cut short! He was very professional and was very communicative through the entire booking and sent so many pictures and updates, which we loved! He really was able to help us enjoy the rest of our trip by giving us a peace of mind with how well our pets were taken care of!”
“Jennifer was so great we our pups and took such a great care of our home while we were enjoying our vacation. Will definitely book her again next time we are out of town, and will recommend to family and friends.”
“Annette watched all four of our pups (my dogs and my in laws dogs) while we were away on vacation. She sent us updates with pictures upon request. She was always responsive. Thanks for watching them!”
“Gabby is the best! This is the second time she's watched our dogs. She reached out to meet again beforehand because it had been awhile and one of our dogs is very skittish with new people. It was a great idea and helped our dog acclimate during her stay. Would, and have, recommended to friends.”
“Thanks Ysla for the care of Oreo. Sending pics and updates were most appreciated Oreo’s care as an old dog was important to us. I know 12 days staying at our house was a long time to be away from your kitties 😊😊”
About: I've had dogs and cats since I was born and familiar with all types of breeds. My wife and I volunteer at a dog rescue and the Humane Society and understand how important animals are to their owners. We also try and get shy or quirky pets as they need special loving but we want to be able to help all animals I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can work any day at any time and have no issue with doing things during "off" hours I have a fenced yard with 3 dogs (2 big mutts and 1 small chihuahua mix) who are very friendly with other dogs. I walk all 3 dogs once a day already and can provide that service at either house
About: I am a reliable and compassionate animal sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, rats, and lizards. My long history working with different species has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and individual needs. In addition to caring for others’ pets, I also have two dogs of my own, which has deepened my sense of responsibility and attentiveness when it comes to animal care. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away Currently have open availability for those last minute trips or trips that are planned in advanced. Able to do in home care and for long walks. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets both in my home and in their own homes, depending on what is most comfortable for them and their owners. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for, while maintaining their usual routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their environment familiar and stress-free by following their normal feeding schedules, playtime routines, and any special instructions provided. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I focus on providing patient, individualized care to ensure they feel secure, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away.
About: I have been told that I have a way with animals , especially dogs in terms of gaining their trust. I have raised a number a dogs over 2 decades living on the family ranch. The latest dog I picked out for the family was very shy and scared. But I bonded with him quickly and gained his trust. FYI, I understand that this a job that I must prioritize customer service, and the health and well-being of their pets. I am well aware the duties of house sitting would include washing toys and dishes, mopping if needed, making sure the pets get plenty of play time, walks in parks, cleaning up waste, and giving meds if needed. Also, I’ll bring my own air mattress if you wish me to spend the night house sitting your pet. Also, for your information, I am actively seeking a part-time job, so I won’t be available, as a house sitter, to stay in your home all day considering I’ll need to work and such. But I will spend the nights at your place making sure your pet is cared for by all means necessary. I am working on getting another part-time job to make ends meet, but I can provide a flexible schedule to ensure your pets gets the best service when I am needed for help. As a house sitter, I won’t be available to stay in the house with your pet all day; but will still spend the nights there taking care of your pet. I am unable to provide service to have your pet stay at my place. My backyard is too small for starters. And most importantly, the walls and fence are not built properly meaning you dog might be at risk of digging out.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Anaiah! We have two very different dogs — Koa, our wild and lovable 1.5-year-old who basically demands your full attention at all times, and Rose, our sweet older girl who has a previous ACL injury that requires a more gentle approach. Anaiah handled both of them beautifully. She matched Koa's energy and gave him all the engagement he needed, while being incredibly thoughtful and careful with Rose — never pushing her too hard and always keeping her comfort in mind. It was clear she actually read and retained everything we shared about their needs, which meant the world to us. On top of the amazing dog care, Anaiah took wonderful care of our home as well. We came back to everything exactly as we left it — no stress, no surprises. Her communication throughout the stay was consistent and reassuring, and it was obvious this wasn't just a job for her — she genuinely cared about Koa and Rose's wellbeing. We will absolutely be using Anaiah again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust with their pets and their home. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate — you'll be in great hands! 🐾”

About: I grew up on a small farm with goats, rabbits, chickens and other animals, and there was never a shortage of chores left to do! I have rescued and fostered several animals. I love to take care of all kinds of pets, big and small, and have experience with dogs, from puppy to senior citizen. I have one rescue senior boy, a Walker Coonhound, named Ranger Gus (Lonesome Dove), and a rescue purebred, with papers, white lab named Gronk. Ranger has all sorts of fun ailments, from needing pills to shots to now even wearing boots on his hind paws. So, I’m pretty sure I can handle anything now! Here to love on your fur babies and pets while you’re away. Cheers, Crystal I am available daily to support your fur babies. Right now I have moved home to be closer to my older parents and am not working full time.

I love pets unconditionally, whether mine or yours, and will give them the best care possible. At this time, I have a full house of pets, and so am willing to come to your home to take care of your pet.

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 Lakehills 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 Lakehills 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 Lakehills 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.
