âNicole and her fiance, AJ we're absolutely amazing. They were open and honest about their schedules for the two days they were dog sitting. I really appreciate that especially after a bad experience last time. They took care of my three dogs really well with multiple walks and even spoon feeding my picky eater dog. Very impressed by their deligence and being there for my doggies while I was away. My dogs were well loved and taken care of. It is so comforting to know your fur babies are in trustworthy hands and you can travel with peace of mind. I am definitely booking them for my next trip. Highly recommend hiring this couple for all your dog-sitting needs!!! Seven Stars to them!!!â

About: I am a lifelong pet owner with experience taking care of dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have experience in caring for dogs, including those who have medical issues. My own dog, Betty White, was a special needs chihuahua and she had a variety of medical issues. I administered her medications daily and made sure she had the best quality of life I could give her while she was here. I have been working as a pet/house sitter for the last 5 years via another website. I'm retired and while I do travel when I can, my schedule allows for availability during weekdays and weekends while I'm home. If drop ins or overnight stays are required, I will make sure to prioritize pet care into my regular routine. I do not plan on offering dog sitting in my home as my condominiums do not allow pets in the building unless they are service animals.

âWill was very attentive to Penny. Checked in on her, fed her at same time everyday and stayed overnight with her. When I came back on Sunday, she was very content, and not stressed at all. I will use Will again.â

âGrey was AMAZING!! We are so grateful we found him to watch our babies while we were both on military assignments. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to take care of them and we hope we can welcome him to our home again soon!! 10 stars!!â

âAnnamaria is flexible, patient and adaptable! She made an international trip a breeze by taking care of my three rescues. I will definitely be rebooking. So grateful for her help.â

âWow! This is our first time ever in almost years thatâs our two pups and our daddy dog have ever been with absolute strangers and omg were we nervous! Miguel and Maria came by prior to dog sitting and came with the dogs fav. Snack carrots and while one of the dogs does have anxiety and then the other gets riled up Miguel new how to handle the situation and from then on they became best of friends! They stayed at our home for 5 days with our babies. They sent videos, photos of how they interacted with them. We were blessed to have them take care of our precious kiddos;) we would highly recommend them! If you have a dog with anxiety like we do highly recommend! Thank you you too for being amazing!!â

âPamela went above and beyond in caring for our two dogs and cat. She stuck to their routines flawlessly and followed every request to the letter. Her consistent communication made the whole experience stress freeâshe sent photos and thorough updates after each visit, keeping us fully in the loop. If you're looking for reliable, compassionate pet care, Pamela is the one to trust. 10/10 would recommend without hesitation!â

âPatty is wonderful dog sitter. She takes incredible care of my 15 year old bichon that requires extra effort. He's on meds and needs a little more attention. Patty gives him that. She also is wonderful with my 3 year old mini poodle. I highly recommend Patty!â
âTerry is fantastic! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away, giving us the confidence we needed for our first experience with a sitter. Fredrick can be a bit anxious but when we got home it was clear she took great care of him and had made a friend.â

âKadence is an amazing sitter! I have four adorable fur babies, and they can be quite challenging, but Kadence handled everything with ease. I can't wait to book her again for our pet care needs she's simply the best!â

âJosh was a wonderful dog sitter! He took such great care of both of our pups with very different needs. He kept our 2-year-old active and got lots of walks and playtime in, and he assisted our senior dog with mobility issues to use the restroom multiple times a day, including carrying him in and out. He also made sure he ate his food and even fed him when needed. Josh took great care of our home, too; everything was tidy and spotless. He even washed used towels and folded them nicely. He kept us updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay as well. Highly recommend Josh - he is kind, attentive and takes wonderful care of pups and your home!â
About: Hi, Iâm Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life â Iâve had dogs for over 14 years and canât imagine life without them. Over the years, Iâve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each petâs unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Iâve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. Iâm also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines â reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care â whether itâs keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring theyâre fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while youâre away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust theyâll be in caring, responsible hands. Iâll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm! Definitely flexible and willing to work with you as long as we can communicate! When caring for pets in my home or a clientâs, safety and trust always come first. I follow each petâs routine closely â from feeding schedules to medications â and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, Iâm attentive to each animalâs needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.
âWe were in town for work and really wanted to bring our 16 weeknold Cavapoo with us as we just adopted him. We reached out to Ashley before arriving in San Antonio to ensure she had availability. We read reviews of various sitters and decided on Ashley. Upon I still contact right up to picking up our fur son, we felt comfortable. She was very accommodating and had a wonderful vide from initial contact up to when we picked up our puppy. We definitely will use her again if we are in town again. If she lived by us, we would hire her a a lot!â

âLaurie did great with our three dogs. She also cleaned our house after a very rainy week while we were gone. I would recommend her to others for both house and pet sitting.â

âWith pretty little notice we were able to schedule Jenn. Our Great Danes immediately warmed up to her. Communication was constant and we felt safe with her watching our Great Danes at our house. Our girls appreciate her and we do too. We will look forward to using her again when necessary.â


About: I take care of my neighbors 5 cats whenever necessary, day/night drop-ins. I have 2 dogs of my own, and Iâve had 3 other dogs in my life. I am the primary caregiver of my 2 dogs, giving them monthly baths and feeding them. I am wonderful with giving pets attention, but also watching their comfort level with me and keeping my distance if I can sense that is what they want. Pets that require a lot of attention will be happy. I currently work nightshifts part time, so your pet will receive plenty of care for the times I am out of work and days I do work! I will be prepared to wake up earlier to feed/care for your pet. I allow pets to own the space, and give them time to get comfortable with my existence in their territory. Boundaries with pets are important in my eyes so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.

Jessica was communicative, prompt, professional and patient with my senior baby. Jessica gave me the peace of mind my pup was safe, comfortable and ultimately allowed for my husband and I to have a stress free getaway. Will definitely be booking with Jessica again in the future!

I cannot recommend Gessika highly enough! I had a last-minute emergency while my husband was in brain surgery and couldn't make it home to care for our golden retriever, Sailor. Gessika jumped in without missing a beat. She kept us updated with frequent photos and texts, giving us complete peace of mind during a critical moment. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly amazing. Thank you, Gessika!

Ben and Allison were amazing for our peace of mind this past 4th. As a family with a firework averse pup, we were nervous about how he would react over the most intense fireworks night of the year. Ben was willing to stay in our house to make sure he had someone with him over night, he had plans for how to keep his mind off the sounds, as well as photo and video check ins with us to show us that he was having a great time. This was an amazing first impression and if available we will be utilizing them again!

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 heâs 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!

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 whoâs 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Longhorn is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $67 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 petâs 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,768 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Longhorn. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
