We were not expecting that! We will definitely use her again and she was an amazing fit with our reactive pup.”
“I am new to the area and was super nervous about finding a new dog sitter. My pups instantly LOVED Z’ie. She was so kind and friendly and always sent me updates with pictures and videos. I was so at ease while I was gone and was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. I highly recommend her!”
“Good service: Good communication and promptness, excellent rates, and my dog seemed pleased. I’ll definitely use Soraya again if needed in that area (probably in 2 months from now).”
“Ben was fantastic! He made my work trip as stress-free as it could be. He made sure to let me know when he first got there to take care of Clay and sent me daily updates each night. It was very reassuring knowing that Clay was in such good hands! I will definitely be using Ben's services again!”
About: I’ve had dogs ALL my life, and my grandma is a vet. I have an Australian Shepherd, but I have also had small dogs like yorkies in the past. I take care of animals like they are my children and I have watched pets in the past, people have relied on me to bath, feed, take their dogs out, and provide their furry friends love and care. I do work from home full time and have an hour lunch break so pups are taken out about 4 times a day, and I also have weekends off My pups are always loose, I have a XL dog cage just in case you would want your dog to be alone and put away. My dogs are super friendly and active which means he does go out about 3-4 times a day. Your pet will always feel at home, loved, and I will make sure to send pictures and videos. We can definitely set up a meet up before to make your pet feel good as well as you. I make sure dogs are not left alone and loose without me being there
“Kayla did an amazing job with my two dogs. She administered medication accurately and made sure my digs were comfortable will I was away. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worry. Highly recommend.”
“Lindsey was a life saver for us when we had an urgent out of town trip. She stayed at our house with our two dogs and took great care of them. She was completely professional, corresponded thoroughly and I would be happy to have her sit for us again.”
“Gessika did a great job taking care of Baxter and Mia. Especially since Mia needs so much encouragemen. She was a trooper when my alarm system went off at 1 AM due to a low battery. It was scary. All of us think Gessika is a a star sitter!”

Socialization with our pack is completely optional, and we always follow your lead.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Longhorn
Makala was amazing with Terre! She was reliable, communicative, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What stood out most was how much Terre loved her. I got to spend some time with her myself, and Terre kept going over to cuddle with her, which says a lot because he’s usually pretty attached to me. It was obvious that he felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Ben and Allison have been the best pet care we've ever used! They went above and beyond in every way possible and did things to make our arrival home even better than we could have imagined, making sure everything was tidied and clean. Our dogs had first class care and we received the most detailed and entertaining updates and photos/videos while we were gone. I think our animals were disappointed when we arrived home and they realized Ben and Allison wouldn't be around for a while. 😂 Thank you guys for the relief and piece of mind you gave us while we were gone. You are super star sitters and we can't wait to book you for next time!
This was the first time that I book with Rover and Megan set the bar high! She was incredible with my senior dog, Gailey. She managed her daily walks and her medications faithfully. Her communication and pictures throughout the week were so appreciated. Megan, thank you so much for all the good care and love you gave my Gailey. It gave me peace of mind, knowing she was well cared for. I came home to a happy dog and a super clean house! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter.
Madison was great with our pups! We have a rescue who’s very anxious and unsure of new people and he warmed up to her very quickly. She made sure to ask questions to make sure they got the best care possible. She followed all of our instructions and they seemed to have a great time with her, we would definitely book again & highly recommend her!
This was my first time using Rover, and I needed a cat sitter at the last minute. Kristina was fantastic! She communicated regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. She even provided a private room for Chloe to help reduce stress, which I really appreciated. Kristina went above and beyond to make sure Chloe was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend!
Karen was absolutely wonderful! We received frequent updates and took such amazing care of our pup as shown through the photos. She left the house immaculately clean and even washed her bedding. We were not expecting that! We will definitely use her again and she was an amazing fit with our reactive pup.
Juilanna did great with all of our pups and they loved her! Communication was great throughout the whole visit and she included plenty of pictures to keep us updated. She did an excellent job of making sure all of our pups needs were met especially for our biggest boy who was recently sick with pneumonia! She followed the rules given and kept the house clean, no issues. She was great! We will definitely be reaching out for future visits!
We were nervous for someone we didn’t know to pet and housesit. Steven did two visits with us and our pets to make sure we all felt comfortable. Upon returning home from vacation, our pets were happy to see us but they didn’t seem overly excited or stressed. This was a good sign that our pets were relaxed with Steven while we were away. We will be asking Steven to sit for us again in the future. Very happy with his care of our pets and home.
Monserrath was absolutely great! Kept us updated on how the pups were doing, giving each of them attention, and with 5 dogs, she had her hands full. She also provided us with great pup report cards at the end of her stay, noting behaviors, eating, and little details on how each pup did during her stay. We hope to use Monserrath again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Longhorn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Longhorn on Rover is $35 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,772 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Longhorn. 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 Longhorn 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 Longhorn 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 Longhorn 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.

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.
