“Rachel is amazing! That's all I need to say, book her! As a dog lover myself, it was reassuring to find a sitter who loves my pups as much as me - and Rachel does. Upon meeting her, all three of my dogs were immediately comfortable and even rolled over for belly rubs :) -- I have one senior dog who I was particularly worried about leaving, but Rachel kept me at ease with constant communication and pictures. I will definitely book sitting with her again. Thank you Rachel! -- Lola, Toro, and Roxy miss you!”
“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!”
“We are so glad to have found Gabby! We have 3 dogs, one of whom is extremely anxious, so we were worried about leaving her for the first time. Gabby clearly did a great job making her feel comfortable - I was surprised to see my scaredy dog doing things like curling up next to her on the bed. Two of our dogs are also on medication. Gabby did a great job ensuring everyone got everything they needed! We will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“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.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets get the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while also keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Took great care of our pack for the day and sent us some awesome pictures. Also was available at last minute and very flexible. We would highly recommend! Very compassionate and affectionate to our babies. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
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! Now, I spend my days on the streets of Big D, living life in the big city working as a PR and Public Affairs specialist. 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 cat, Allie D. Cat, and one dog, Badger Boy, and live in a guest house in the M Streets. My landlady and I share a backyard with her dogs, therefore all visiting animals must be other-pet friendly! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 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 am looking for some part time pet sitting / walking opportunities to help fill my time and support our small community. 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.
“took great care of the house and dogs while we were gone! she even accommodated a last-minute extension and having to administer medication to our senior dog who got sick right before we left.”
About: I’ve been responsible for taking care of animals since I was a child living on my family ranch. I have 15 years of personal experience as a pet owner and caring for dogs of friends and family. I currently work from home full time and I am able to provide continuous care throughout the day and night. I am able to provide walks and potty breaks as frequently as needed. I am a very strong believer in using a leash at all times when there are other dogs and animals present, not only for their safety, but for the safety of the animal I am responsible for as well. I currently do not have other dogs or cats in my home that might create problems in the environment.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lakehills on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,390 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakehills. 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 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.
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 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 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.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
