“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Jenn did a great job. She walked Cooper everyday and played with him a lot while she stayed at my home. This was the first time I had left him here while I traveled (13 days) and I felt very safe with her. She communicated daily including pictures.”
“Michelle recently house sat for me while I traveled. I appreciate having her in the house. She is always respectful and kind and takes such good care of my home.”
“Meg was great! She was very patient with Ace and handled his silly antics. It was a last minute booking and Meg was very accommodating. She took the time to get to know Ace before the booked sitting, which was greatly appreciated. She sent frequent updates and pictures. Im definitely booking Meg again!”
“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”
“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for animals through pet sitting (dogs, puppies not yet potty trained, birds, and cats), as well as fostering puppies and bunnies (not currently available for fostering), dog walking, and volunteer work with humane societies in multiple states. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and house sitting. I also have nearly two years of professional and independent home-care experience, including cleaning private homes and Airbnbs and house sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in someone else’s home and treating their space with respect. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and weekend care, and can often accommodate different routines and schedules with advance notice. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and following each owner’s specific routine and instructions. I have experience pet sitting, house sitting, and professionally cleaning private homes and Airbnbs, so I understand the trust involved in being in someone else’s home. I’m attentive to doors, gates, feeding instructions, medications, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety.
“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 have lived and worked with pets my whole life, but have been a professional pet care provider for 8+ years. I spent the last 6 years at a doggy daycare in Austin, providing professional care for dogs of all kinds. I am experienced with administering medication, orally and via injection. I am also comfortable and experienced with handling pets that need special attention for behavioral or health reasons. I have two senior kitties of my own, but I love all animals, and enjoy getting to bond with and care for other people's pets. In addition to dogs and cats, I am also experienced with other pets, including reptiles and amphibians, smalls mammals, birds, and farm animals. I recently left my kennel job to move to San Antonio. For the time being, I am unemployed and have full availability! I will update my profile when that changes. I am living in a rental property, and unfortunately cannot care for pets in my own home. I am happy to provide whatever level of safety and restriction you would like me to follow for your pets- remaining in fenced in yards, or on leash at all times.
“Our second time using Laurie and she was awesome again. We got an email about a possible water leak and she was able to investigate and check all the important areas for us. Very responsive! Thank you again for taking care of our pups and house!”
“Got lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire time! William is great and cared for our our 85lb high energy boy and our 45lb old man with no issues. Highly recommend for your babies care!”
“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!”

About: I was a Kennel technician for a dog shelter In Texas. I have also raised 4+ dogs over the course of my life (two were family dogs). I am currently open to any day of the week for some services. Although for other services Monday through Friday will have to be flexible. I have a dog park in our neighborhood, lots of sidewalks that I love walking our dogs in. I have one sweet dogs that can keep your fur baby company and one cat as well. My dog is crate trained and can be kennel and separate if needed!
About: This is my first time pet sitting professionally. I had a medium schnauzer-mix for 17 years, he crossed the rainbow bridge 2.5 years ago and I miss him dearly. I love animals and often wish I had one of my own but I feel I am still grieving my furever love. I'm seeking PT work and figured pet sitting could be very fulfilling in more ways than financially. I am an independent contractor, licensed massage therapist by day. I'm looking to sit evenings, check in and walks during the day. My schedule can be flexible depending on the week. Please leave detailed instructions as to your pets routine and needs in your space and I can accommodate them. I do not offer services in my own home.
“She went above and beyond. Was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures for peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals!!! We will be using her again”
“As a first time Rover user, I didn’t know what to expect. Tiffany went out of her way to make our two dogs her own. She put my mind at ease with pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing. It makes a difference when someone loves your dogs as much as you do!”
About: I’ve had a few family dogs over the years and have recently welcomed my very own puppy into the family. I’m very excited to meet your canine pal and help wherever I can! I work throughout the week but I am generally available on weekends and Mondays (I work Tuesday through Friday). Sometimes, I work a half day on Fridays. I have a spacious house with a fenced yard. Additionally, I have a small puppy (Shih Tzu mixed with Bichon Frise) who would love to meet your dog!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leon Valley
This was our second time using Eva. We were gone for an extended amount of time and could tell by her updates that our pup was so happy with her and being well taken care of. All her updates were also much appreciated since I didn’t have to really check in much because I knew she would be messaging. She also left the house spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed that after coming home from our vacation with that being one less thing to worry about.
Leah was fantastic with our pets! She sent photos and updates regularly, which put our minds at ease while we were away. She was prompt, communicative, and clearly took great care of both our pets and our home. I highly recommend her, and we'd book her again without hesitation.
Where do I start with how great she is! Meg came over for a meet and greet to ensure Nala, my cat, got to meet her ahead of time. I was honestly shocked because my skittish girl who typically doesn’t approach strangers went right up to her with no hesitation. Meg took detailed notes and even asked about household things she could do while I was gone (e.g., asking what days the garbage man came, etc.). Most importantly, my cat has a heart condition and takes three medications. I’m always worried when I leave since she’s not the easiest cat to get meds in. But not for Meg, she said she had no issues getting Nala to take her medications. I’m so thankful for Meg and can’t say enough great things about her. Nala clearly trusted her and so do I!
Alyssa was amazing! We went on a 10 day vacation, and she took such great care of our 14 year old dog. She communicated consistently, sent updates and pictures of our pup, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and would definitely trust her to watch our dog again!
Wow, what a gift Sonia is. From the start, communication was excellent, and it was clear that my dog was in caring and capable hands. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while we I was away. It was also very special that she appreciated and noticed the same little things about my dog that I do, a sign that she was being present and loving towards my little one. So happy to have found her. Thank you Sonia!!
Faith has watched Terre several times now and has always been wonderful! She’s reliable, communicative, and takes great care of him. I always feel comfortable leaving Terre with her because I know he’s in good hands. She’s been a huge help, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Dorothy was absolutely amazing with both of our boys! We had a meet and greet before she house sat for us and the boys instantly loved her. While we were away, she followed all of our rules, especially with giving Odie his daily medication twice a day. She sent us constant pictures of the boys while we were away, and there was never a moment where she was not playing with them and keeping them entertained. Dorothy was an amazing sitter, and we will be more than happy to have her watch over our boys again. Thank you Dorothy!!
This is the second time we had Samantha watch our pups for us while we were out of town and quite honestly the only person we will use if we go away. I get anxiety leaving my little pups and knowing they are with her I stress far less. I am so appreciative of her and how she loves and cares for my pups!
We enjoyed the services provided by Riley. She attended to the needs of our pets, provided pictures and updates on how they were responding to her and the care she was providing. My wife and I recommend Riley for overnight stays with your pets. She is competent and her communications give you peace of mind while being away on travel.

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 Leon Valley 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 Leon Valley 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 Leon Valley 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.

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.
