“Jordan stayed at our house for 5 days while we were on vacation. She did a great job taking care of the house and all our critters. Everyone was in excellent hands and we could breathe easier while being away from home!”
“Emily is fabulous! She’s stayed in our home with our two pooches on two occasions and has been very professional. They love her and that says so much for us. Please book her. We’re sure you will love her too.”
“Michael is the best! He went above and beyond in caring for my dogs and for my home. I felt 1000x better about leaving my babies while I traveled because I knew they were with Michael. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 3 years, starting when I was 16, caring for dogs in my neighborhood and for family members. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I regularly go to my neighbors’ home to care for their 6 dogs, letting them outside to use the bathroom, spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I’ve also cared for their puppy since they first brought him home and helped teach him basic commands, including how to sit, lay down, and paw. I’m comfortable with potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, overnight stays, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every dog I care for like they’re my own. 🐶❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I study online. I have plenty of time available for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and can be flexible with visits, overnight stays, and longer periods of care when needed. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, supervised, and given plenty of attention while keeping their environment clean and safe. I respect my clients’ homes and privacy, and I communicate with them regularly by providing updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.
“Mariah was AMAZING! Cheerful, personable, timely and very caring for our 4 legged children! Will most definitely request her in the future! Our home was left spotless, our children had a seamless transition while we were away all routine was spot on! Daily pics were sent and updates too. Thank you Mariah!”
About: Hi there! I’m a proud dog mom to two rescue pups, Comet and Nova. With over 8 years of experience in kennel care and working closely with shelter dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and individual needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and have a soft spot for senior pups. One of my greatest passions is canine enrichment—I love helping shy dogs build confidence and thrive. Your dog’s happiness, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority! I am available from 8am-1pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturdays. I have open availability on Thursday and Fridays. Currently taking drop ins on a part time basis. Caring for pet’s in your home I will follow directions carefully on how you prefer your pet to be taken care of as well as your home.
“We 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!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up walking dogs, raising kittens, and training puppies. Now I have two cats who are super chill and keep to themselves when dogs are around. I don’t have a dog right now because I travel occasionally, but I love spending time with them and have cared for dogs of all ages. I’m active and enjoy walks in my neighborhood and at a nearby park (with your permission, of course). I also have a yard, but dogs would only go out supervised for playtime or potty breaks. I’m experienced with giving oral medications and happy to stick to any training routines you’d like. As a Rover user myself, I know how important it is to trust your sitter, and I’ll treat your pets like my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home, so your pets will never feel alone. My mom and adult sister live with me, so there’s always someone around to ensure a safe and loving environment. (We all love animals!) Caring for animals is a natural and enjoyable part of my life, and I’d love to make your pet feel at home with me! My priority is making my home a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. Dogs are supervised at all times, whether they’re playing in the yard, going for walks, or relaxing indoors. Cats stay inside and can have their own space away from my two chill, cat & dog-friendly cats. In my clients’ homes, I stick to their routines, ensuring pets feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or administering medication, I focus on keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress free while their owners are away.
“Annette watched all four of our pups (my dogs and my in laws dogs) while we were away on vacation. She sent us updates with pictures upon request. She was always responsive. Thanks for watching them!”
“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.”
About: I've had dogs and cats since I was born and familiar with all types of breeds. My wife and I volunteer at a dog rescue and the Humane Society and understand how important animals are to their owners. We also try and get shy or quirky pets as they need special loving but we want to be able to help all animals I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can work any day at any time and have no issue with doing things during "off" hours I have a fenced yard with 3 dogs (2 big mutts and 1 small chihuahua mix) who are very friendly with other dogs. I walk all 3 dogs once a day already and can provide that service at either house
“They both did a great job taking care of my dog & cats. They were very well cared for & loved. They took great care of the house & made us feel they were so happy to be staying at the house and caring for our pets as if they were their own. They went the extra mile bringing packages inside & letting in the cleaners. They sent daily pictures and updates. They were very professional and did a great job! We will call on them again!”

“This is now the third time we have used Shawnette to take care of our dogs while we were out of town and couldn’t be more pleased with her and her care. We were gone for 10 days this time and she took incredible care of our dogs and even won over our very shy girl. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“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. ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,158 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lytle. 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 Lytle 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 Lytle 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 Lytle 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.

- 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.
