“I can't recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to our fur babies and honestly Winnie was totally spoiled with picnics and play dates while we were away. I hope we can have her back with us for our next trip!!”
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“Dana was fantastic! He stayed with our large pitty mix and loud cat for 5 days and handled them both with ease! I appreciate that he really stayed at our home. He communicated regularly with amusing stories and photos. Would definitely work with him again!”
“Marian was great with our 2 senior dogs! Marian took the time to meet with the dogs twice before our trip and this made all the difference! We have a totally blind, very nervous, dog but I trusted Marian's expertise with animals. Our house was just as we left it and our pups were perfectly content when we got home.”
“Gave him 5 stars because the app won’t let me give him 10 ⭐️! Communicates frequently, took of my our high energy dog, and kept the house clean!!! Jeffrey was the best dog watcher we’ve had!”
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”
About: I am in between jobs right now with plenty of free time to care for your dogs and cats! I grew up having dogs and cats. I adopted my own dog 12 years ago and my cat 6 years ago. My dog Yoshi is a 13 year old dachshund who is playful and friendly with all dogs (he has never tried to bite anyone or any dog). My cat Melvin is a 13 year old sweet old man I adopted during Covid. I am available to check in on your cat or dog/take them on walks or stay with them at your home. I am also experienced administering oral medication if needed (both of my boys take medication). Being a dachshund owner I am very experience with special needs dogs as Yoshi has had a few run ins with IVDD. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns! Hope to hear from you and your dog and cat! Thank you! I’m currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. Reach out with your request and I will try my best to accommodate your needs. I am open to long walks, playing in the yard, playing in the house, whatever your pet needs as long as they are safe and happy!
About: Hello!! I've always had animals in my house (dogs, cats, guinea pigs...) and I also have experience dog, cat, and house sitting back in Austin. I have big golden retriever energy and can tire out the most hyper of animals but also love a cozy night in and can love on a quieter, shy dog/cat. Additionally, I have experienced all ages of dog through growing up with and caring for my dog, including: managing puppy rules and regiment and later administering medicine and staying alert for signs of stress or discomfort. I work part-time right now, so my schedule varies. But around my work, I have a lot of free time to care for yall's pets! I am very flexible and have had experience with a range of animals. And I always make sure to stay communicative and ask lots of questions so that your animal gets great, curated care.
About: I was the driving force for my family to get a puppy and I was his primary caretaker along with my little sister for years. I worked hard to house train him and teach him basic commands. And before he came into our lives, I took every chance to walk and care for the dogs of my friends and family. Looking forward to expanding my experience with your pup! I work remotely, doing data analysis and design, so I can and do work practically anywhere. Your crew will get all the attention and care they need! I’m never too busy for a belly rub or walk! My own pup that I grew up with really trained ME to know when to go for walks and when to play. So much so, that I find myself taking him out before his scheduled walks so we can both get some fresh air and exercise. He also instilled a diligence to make sure food and fresh water are always available!
“Ari is incredible. He is patient and kind and obviously cares a great deal for the pets he sits for. He went above and beyond and, most importantly, gave us peace of mind that Toby was in great hands while we were away. 10/10”
“I can't say enough great things about Jeannie. She is so kind, and you can just tell how much she loves animals. I feel very lucky we found her and will be using her in the future.”
“Porsche took excellent care of our two high energy rescue pups, and left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely be in touch the next time we need to go out of town!”
“Anthony stayed with my dog for about two weeks while I was out of town. He had great communication the entire time and took good care of my dog and my house. I recommend Anthony and will continue to request him when I need a petsitter!”
“Excellent communication and was very responsive to my request for a sitter. Sent videos and photos of my dogs to keep me updated. The dogs looked to be having a blast with her. Would use her again.”
“Katherine was excellent with Gracie! She gained her trust quickly and sent me lots of updates and pictures which I really appreciated as a new dog parent. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laverock
Darcy is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly, which immediately put us at ease. We were a little anxious about leaving our big pups behind, especially since it had been a while since we last traveled internationally. However, Darcy made the experience so much easier by sending us daily updates and adorable pictures. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and well cared for our pups were while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Darcy to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!
This was the first time MaryEllen stayed overnight with the cats, and it was wonderful for us to know they had her company. Maryellen is always so in tune with their needs and personalities, giving them space when they need, or grooming, or snuggles, or play. And her updates to us are always so detailed with many pictures that help us feel like we never left. MaryEllen is our favorite (and the cats’ favorite) sitter for good reason!
Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!
Seb spent a long weekend with our old lady pup Fenner and we genuinely couldn’t be happier to have found them. They stepped in at the last minute when we needed them and took the absolute best care of our girl, including giving her extra meds because of a recent procedure and staying an extra night when our travel plans unexpectedly changed at the last minute. On top of all that, they left us gorgeous drawings of Fen that made us so happy. Can’t wait to have Seb over to hang with Fen again soon, truly. Thank you Seb!!!
Kristen was wonderful! This was our second time booking her to care for our four dogs and we couldn’t have been happier. It was so evident from the photos and updates she sent that our dogs loved her and felt comfortable and safe with her. Since all four of our dogs are rescues with traumatic pasts, their comfort with her is really telling and gives us incredible peace of mind when we’re away. Kristen also kept our house extremely tidy during her stay. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our time away knowing that our dogs were happy, safe, and being so well cared for.
This was this was my first time using Rover. My dog unexpectedly went into heat and we had to make alternate plans for her care. Christian responded quickly and efficiently. We felt fully confident in leaving our dog with him, even though she was requiring additional care and Grooming due to her heat. I would absolute him again!
Caitlin is kind, loving, and patient with our feisty dog. She took the time to get to know his personality, which we greatly appreciate. She's very professional, communicates well and gave us helpful updates. She left our home clean, and us worry free while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Laverock is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Laverock 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 Laverock 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 Laverock 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.
