“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.”
“Rachel did an amazing job watching my dogs while I was on a weekend getaway! She took such good care of them, and I really appreciated the pictures she sent – it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy and well-cared for. Coming home to a clean house was an added bonus! I'll definitely be using her services again in the future. Rachel is my go-to dog sitter!”
“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 😊😊”
“Jennifer did amazing. I had a family emergency and need to leave town she responded quickly and jumped right in to house/puppy sit. Within the first few hours, I could tell Winnie was in good hands. I had so much going on I didn’t have time to check on her, but I didn’t even worry. I knew she was taking care of. Jennifer went above and beyond she took care of my puppy and was respectful of my place. I highly recommend her and I definitely will be choosing her again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾”
“Danni was professional and i felt comfortable having her in my home. She cared for my puppy the way i asked and with attention to detail. Danni has great communication and left my house clean! Will definitely ask for her assistance 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 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.
“This was ourfirst experience with Rover and we could not have been more pleased with Madison! She cared for our pets as if they were her own. Prior to her visit, we had a vet emergency and explained the issue and asked her to keep an extra eye out him. Well our pet had the issue come up while away and Madison did such a great job notifying immediately and took to the vet to receive the medical attention. In addition, during her visit, she sent updates on all the other pets. I highly recommend Madison!!”
“Abigail was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our family. She handled our grumpy, older border collie and our playful, energetic lab very well. She was very attentive to their feeding schedule and we really felt at ease with her staying at our house and taking care of our animals (even the tortoise)! She provided updates daily and was very professional during the initial meet and greet. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Charisma was very attentive to our sweet girls and took such great care of them while we were away. She provided updates throughout the stay and we knew our girls were in great hands which helped us truly relax during our vacation.”
“Hannah went above and beyond for our dog and treated our home with care as if it were her own! She updated us multiple times per day and was a true blessing to have found. We highly recommend her and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
“Drew took outstanding care of our five crazy pups. It is no easy task to look after all of our dogs at once, and Drew did great! We came home to five happy puppies. We will absolutely use Drew again whenever the need arises.”
“Awesome sitters!! They stayed a full week through Christmas which we appreciated SO much! They send tons of photos and videos! They keep their word and communicate very well and keep us up to date at all times! We are SO at ease knowing they are taking care of our babies. HIGHLY recommend!!”
“Korbin went above and beyond during my 7 day trip. When my flight got cancelled he even stayed one more night! He is wonderful with my dogs and was very respectful of my house! Hire him- you won’t regret it!!”
About: Growing up with dogs and now caring for two of my own has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I have experience with puppies, high-energy breeds, large dogs, and dogs that need extra patience, structure, or medication. I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and providing lots of love and attention while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a familiar routine, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, which means I’m available for morning, lunch, evening, weekend, and holiday visits depending on your pet’s needs. I plan my schedule carefully so every pet receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home. You can count on me to follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and designed to help dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully introduce pets when appropriate, closely supervise all interactions, and can accommodate feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any special care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your pet feels at home while you’re away.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy! She took such exceptional care of my sweet Piper while I traveled. She was incredibly attentive, sent frequent updates and photos, and most importantly, loved Piper as if she were her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Piper was not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. Piper thrives in a quiet, one-on-one environment without other pets, and Nancy’s home and companionship could not have been a more perfect fit. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am beyond grateful to Nancy for giving Piper so much love and attention, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pup. ❤️”

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 , 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.
