“Mariah stayed in our home and dog sat our two dachshunds over the weekend. She's really genuine and reliable & honest person. She took great care of our fur babies and our home and followed all the instructions we left. I will definitely rebook with her again in the future. It's hard to find people you can count on and trust but she checked all our boxes and was great!!! I highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter!”
“Jeffrey took care of our two dogs and house for a week, and we were so pleased with his careful, loving handling of animals and home. He communicated regularly and we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying. Highly recommend Jeffrey! Super reliable and great to work with.”
“Johanna was great with our pups. She arrived on time and always answered my messages. We had some issue with our flight back home and she was very flexible and helpful! Will work with her again for sure”
“Nicole is the best, and me and Cubbie are lucky to have her to help us out. My lil man is having issues and she handled his issues with care and professionalism. Nicole's awesome and we appreciate her.”
“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”
“We knew from the minute Harper met our dog, Stella, and cat, Jack, that she was a perfect fit. On her meet and greet, she asked the most thoughtful and detailed questions about their day to day, relationship to each other, routine, house things - everything. She sent wonderful pictures, funny anecdotes, and the animals were always by her side it seemed. She even noticed the little things, like how Stella had been walking funny and ran it by us to see if anything was off (she’s okay! Just getting old!). Beyond that, our house was in wonderful shape, our plants alive, our garbage taken out, our mail gathered. Everything. She truly went above and beyond and we can’t wait to have her petsit again. THANK YOU 💜🐶😺”
“Willow is so sweet and loving to my baby Afi! She loves animals so much. Super easy to work with & communicative. I give her a shared note on my phone with directions and she follows them thoroughly. I’ll be booking Willow again!”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our two pups at our house. We came home to find happy pups and a well taken care of house. Good communication during the sitting. We plan to hire her again and would recommend to anyone else.”
“Amanda was so great and flexible with my two dogs! Her communication was just the level I needed. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies, it’s appreciated more than you know!”
“Monica was great and I highly recommend her! I booked her for a 3 night stay with my dog and two cats, which I was super anxious about. It was the first time I was leaving them in a while given that one of my cats went on subcutaneous fluids. I was ?very anxious about him potentially missing his night time dose so, despite the long commute, Monica came for the M&G and a second visit for extra practice with the injection. For the stay I was willing to work around her work schedule with a dog walker, but she was lovely enough to take most of the days off so that she could fully focus on the crew. During my time away I got plenty of updates and I came back to a clean apartment and content animals.”
“I can't recommend Megan enough! She is reliable and went above and beyond to make sure that my dogs weren't only cared for, but also having a great time while I was gone. I always have a tough time finding a sitter because one of my dogs is aggressive towards other dogs and nervous when meeting new people. But from the first meet-and-greet, it was obvious that Megan was an animal lover and experienced with nervous dogs, so mine warmed up to her in no time! She sent regular updates with photos to let me know what they were doing, and when my trip was unexpectedly extended another day, she offered to stay longer which made my life a whole lot easier. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter, and she'll be the first person I reach out to when I need another one in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, and other animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family had numerous animals over the years that I assisted in training and caregiving. I have two pups of my own that were both rescued and trained. I am familiar with dogs who are reactive or have behavior problems. I trained my dogs in basic commands, agility, and search and find. I treat all animals like they are my own, so please contact me if there is anything special about your pet that I should know! I am currently taking some time off from work, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies. I am always happy to provide extra pets and snuggles to those who love a little extra attention. If there are any specifics I need to know about you, your home, or fur baby, please let me know, and I will happily accommodate.
“German Shepherd mix) for three nights and did a fantastic job. She was super organized and communicative — we got an update after every walk — and left the house clean and tidy. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jamie took great care of my large energetic dog while I was away for the holidays and left a very cute report card detailing Lucy’s time while I was gone. Will definitely book again!”
About: I love dogs and I’m always happy to give them a playful day. Walks, runs, ball, frisbee…you name it! Here to make sure there’s more to a dog’s day besides sitting at home. Can be arranged for daily, weekly, randomly. Hoping to build strong friendships with owners and pups! All about taking new routes and trying new things. Making sure they are walked, fed, hydrated, happy, and healthy! All the belly rubs in the world and maybe a treat or two if the owner approves.
“It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!”

Maritza did a great job taking care of my dog Murphy. She kept him on his normal routine and kept me updated every day. I came home to a relaxed, happy pup and my home exactly as I had left it. I hope to use her again in the future and highly recommend her. Bryan
Johanna was a wonderful pet sitter! She took such good care of our dog and went above & beyond for us. She sent us daily updates and when we got home, our house was as clean as when we left. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Johanna is also super responsive. Highly recommend!
Grant was so kind and easy to communicate with. He treated our two nervous cats and senior dog with care. He even washed the sheets when one of the animals decided to wet the bed. Finding a good sitter can be difficult, but Grant made the process very comfortable. Highly recommend.
Heather was absolutely amazing and took such great care of both my dogs and my home! She kept me updated throughout her stay, sent plenty of photos of the pups, and made sure I always knew how they were doing. I felt completely reassured and comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was responsible, caring, and attentive, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and home!
For those of you who get bored with long reviews, let me save you some time: stop scrolling through profiles and BOOK HOPE. If we could leave a 10-star review for her, we absolutely would. For the past eight years, we've had a wonderful pet sitter who kept our pets in her home whenever we traveled. We knew her, trusted her implicitly, and most importantly, our animals adored her. This year, however, she wasn't available during the dates we'd be away, and I immediately panicked. Where was I going to find an A-level replacement with only a week to spare? We've had less-than-stellar experiences with boarding facilities in the past, so that wasn't an option. After exhausting my personal network, I pulled up Rover. I started scrolling through profiles, and while many people seemed great, none truly stood out. Then I came across Hope's profile, which boldly stated, "I'll care for them like they're my own." Okay, you've got my attention. As I continued reading, it became clear that Hope was a thorough, thoughtful communicator with a flexible schedule and a genuinely nurturing heart—qualities that were important to us. Since I needed to make a decision quickly, I reached out right away. She responded within 20 minutes, confirmed her availability, and patiently waited while I finalized our travel details. Once everything was settled, she scheduled a meet-and-greet for the very next day. She arrived right on time with warm energy and a welcoming smile. We introduced her to our senior dog and mischievous cat, then spent time discussing her background, experience, expectations, medications, feeding routines, overnight care, and all the details that come with leaving your pets. One thing that impressed me was the quality of her questions—she brought up things I hadn't even considered. By the end of the visit, I felt a tremendous sense of relief. I knew our fur babies would be in good hands, and I was convinced that her profile tagline was a true statement. When we left for our trip, we felt confident about their care, though naturally a little nervous about how they would handle our absence. By the end of the first day, we had already received photos and a detailed update. What immediately stood out was Hope's honesty. She didn't simply tell us everything was “fine”—she shared that they seemed a little sad and were clearly adjusting to the change, but she was confident they'd settle into a routine in no time. That level of transparency reassured me that she was truly paying attention and interacting with them, not just stopping by to refill food bowls and move on with her day. The first few days sounded like an adjustment period. There was some pouting, lower energy, and understandable reluctance to embrace their new human. Since our pets had never stayed in our home without us before, I worried they might struggle to adapt to the new arrangement. Thankfully, the transition was short-lived, and before long everyone had found their groove. Every single day, Hope sent us colorful updates about their adventures. Even while on vacation, I found myself looking forward to her messages. They were informative, funny, and full of personality. More importantly, they made it obvious that she was spending real quality time with our pets and getting to know them as individuals. Through her words, I could see their personalities shining through. The photos and videos consistently showed happy, healthy, well-loved animals, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our trip. At the end of her stay, Hope let us know that we were out of dog food and offered to pick up a bag so we wouldn't have to rush out immediately after returning home. Our dog certainly wasn't going to starve, and he probably could have skipped a meal if necessary, but having that errand taken care of was truly above and beyond. It's those thoughtful details that separate a good pet sitter from an exceptional one. If you're still reading this review, I commend you—I usually tap out around sentence six myself. The truth is, I could probably write a short novel about how wonderful our first experience with Hope was, but I'll stop here so you can go book her before someone else does. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future, and I've already referred her to several friends. I'm going to miss getting her daily updates, and if I'm being completely honest, I'm pretty sure our pets are going to miss her even more.
Rory is pure magic, the kind of soul you feel lucky to have found in this lifetime. From the very first meeting, she radiated warmth, kindness, and a gentle grace that our babies trusted instantly. There’s something truly special about her, an old-soul tenderness mixed with genuine devotion to the animals she cares for. She showered our pets with the same love, patience, and presence we would want for them ourselves. Every day away felt effortless because of her, daily photo (she is an amazing photographer as well ) updates and heartfelt messages that made us feel like we never really left. Clean, polished, thoughtful, and endlessly attentive, she thinks of details most people wouldn’t even consider. Rory isn’t just a pet sitter, she’s a guardian angel with a leash in one hand and a whole lot of stardust in the other. Our babies adore her, we adore her, and we simply wouldn’t trust this kind of love to anyone else. Out of this world, truly. ✨🐾 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manchaca on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,600 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manchaca. 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 Manchaca 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 Manchaca 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 Manchaca 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.

- 96% 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.
