“Johanna was fantastic with Luna and Pete. They were very comfortable and happy with her and instantly cuddled with her the day we left. When we arrived back home they were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Johanna.”
“Mariah took excellent care of our two pups while we were on vacation! She was extremely responsive, sent pictures throughout her stay, and appreciated our dogs for their quirky traits 🙃. Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Michael did a great job taking care of our boys while we were away. They can each have some quirks (one being a bit anxious and the other being a bit demanding) but he gave me a lot of reassurance and checked in regularly to let me know that everything was going well. His communication and comfort with my dogs truly put me at ease. He was very flexible and just generally great to work with. We will definitely be requesting his services again!”
“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.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She gave regular, detailed status updates, spoiled them with so much love, and just went above and beyond. Our pups adored her, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Dominique is amazing! Very communicative, professional and, best of all, very caring for our pups! We have one dog with bad allergies and requires extra care; she managed with no problem which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely book Dominique again!”
“Extremely kind and punctual. Demonstrated keen understanding of my pets needs. Spent more than an hour doing so to get to know me and my pet. Punctual in stopping by, and stayed a bit longer without having to ask on one of the days. Your pet is guaranteed to be in safest and kindest hands.”
“So happy, she was great at communicating and following instructions. My dog recently started medication for the first time ever and I felt easy leaving him with her. Will 100% book again. Also just left my home clean, im a very tidy person and appreciate when I come home and it looks the same!”
“Nicole's the best, she helped me with my Cubbie when he wasn't well. He's well because Nicole cared about his well being. Nicole is the Best, me and Cubbie appreciate her time.”
“Paola had a short and sweet visit with my lil man. He enjoyed her company and hopefully she'll have more time to spend with Cubbie. We will for sure look Paola up for another day or night.”
“Amazing. Jeffery stepped in at the last minute when my trip was unexpectedly extended. He did such a great job with my dogs. Was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. I’ve struggled with some of the sitters on Rover so it was refreshing to have someone who cared and followed through”
“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
“Julie is amazing. We were very happy with our experience having her watch our two corgis and stay in our home while we were away. She is a great communicator and always responds quickly. She also sent the most amazing pictures everyday and it put us at ease knowing our dogs were getting lots of love and affection. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond what we expected when she left. We will definitely use her in the future and recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”
“Kate was amazing. She stayed overnight to care for our cat while we were away. She was very communicative, responsible, and took great care of our cat. I highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Crystal, and we had a great experience! We opted for the house sitting and she gave us daily updates and our pup looked happy and relaxed. We’ve already rebooked her for the end of the month! Thank you Crystal!”
“Joely did an AMAZING JOB, she took care of my dogs at the last minute while I underwent a minor emergency procedure at the hospital. She fed them, played with them and took them out 3 times a day. I am so appreciative of her help and look forward to rebooking her, I definitely recommend her!”
“If you are able to book with Alex. Book with Alex! Professional,caring, detail oriented, kind, transparent, and skilled. We have been lucky to be able to get scheduled with Alex for a couple events so far and another coming up. Zero anxiety when we are away because we know the pups are in beyond capable hands. Thanks, Alex!!! Zep and LeeLoo had a ball!”
“Ellie loved her stay with Magdalena while me and my husband were away. She sent frequent photos and texts letting us know Ellie was in great hands. Loved photos of them in the park and playing at home. She left our home exactly how we left it which we really appreciated! and was just so sweet from the beginning we knew we made a great choice in choosing her. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchaca
Johanna was a blessing taking care of my elderly dog in our own home. She maintained Star’s schedule of meds and activities and treated her often to her favorite playtime with her tennis BALL! She sent sweet updates with photos. She left my home clean and neat as a pin! It was truly a relief to be able to enjoy my trip to Ireland while knowing that my 14 year old slightly frail pup was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Johanna and book her again in a heartbeat! Her care is invaluable 💗
Tiffany is AMAZING! My dogs both got skunked during her stay and she handled the situation SO well. She let us know immediately and took care of my Great Dane when she got scratched during the ordeal and was bleeding quite a bit. She kept us updated and made sure they were comfortable and safe and that the house was cleaned up. Not only that, but she also stayed close to my golden during fireworks on the fourth knowing he gets spooked AND cleaned up another health issue my Great Dane had during her stay. I hope after all that she would want to watch our pups again because we’d trust her entirely to take care of them again! Thank you for your patience and care with our babies during your stay. We cannot recommend Tiffany enough.
As always Maria goes above and beyond for our pup and takes great care of our house. We were in a unique situation utilizing multiple sitters in a row and it was so great that Maria was able to not only care for Ollie but prepare the bed & house for another sitter to take over. Thank you Maria!
Trinity took great care of Emi and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated.😊 She also left the sweetest little drawing of Emi with a World Cup theme, which was such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Harper is an AMAZING sitter! Onyx & Cody love her so much. She is dependable, always engaging with the boys by showing lots of affection and constantly sends updates and pictures when we are out of town. My husband & I are very picky with who we choose to keep our fur babies when we are away. We never worry because we know they are in good hands. Harper has become like part of the family and not to mention a life saver!
We loved having Grant house sit our dog Rose. Rose is incredibly picky with who she is comfortable with and she was instantly at ease with Grant. His calm energy was amazing. He gave us great updates and photos and left our house spotless as well. We highly recommend Grant, we were so pleased with our experience with him!!
I loved getting regular updates and felt very comfortable with them watching our elderly dog and staying in our home. I had forgotten to leave out the pill pockets that were needed to give our dog his medicine, and Rebekah and Gloria actually went to the store to get some before I could respond to their message to tell them where they were. That was very kind of them!
Krystyna took wonderful care of our two picky and shy girls while we were enjoying ourselves on vacation. Even though they had seen Krystyna in the past, the pictures were too cute showing how they were keeping their distance for the first day or two. Then they started eating out of Krystyna’s hands, or at least accepting treats.
Nathalia is a great pet sitter. She did an excellent job taking care of my dog and cat and it really showed when I got back. Both pets were relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after the whole time. You could tell she paid attention to details and followed all the instructions without any issues and kept me updated on how the pets were doing. On top of that, she was very respectful of my home and left everything in great shape. The house was clean, pets were happy, and it made coming back home super easy and stress‑free. 10/10 recommend

FAQs for House Sitting - Manchaca
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manchaca on Rover is $68.07 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 4,564 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.
