“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!”
“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.”
“Megan was amazing! This booking was very last minute and it was so appreciated. Meredith loved her and we got lots of photos and videos. We will definitely be booking Megan again in the future.”
“Jeffrey did a great job with my dog. She was content when I got home & not overly clingy, which tells me she felt safe in his care & got plenty of attention. 10/10 would book again.”
“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!”
“Michelle was so incredible. This was my first time having a dog sitter for my 8yr old vizsla + my new vizsla puppy, I have always had anxiety over leaving them with anyone but my parents but we recently moved so needed to find a sitter for them. Michelle made my first experience so positive. She was SO communicative, so patient with my very high energy and needy girls, and was so respectful of my home! I genuinely didn’t worry about them once in her care. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
“Ellie is definitely a cat whisperer! She easily made friends with my nervous kitty. Her communication was great and my home was perfect when I returned. Would certainly use her again in the future!”
“Ashleigh was awesome! Super patient with us to set up the booking and is just such a sweet, kind person! She sent updates with pictures throughout our trip and took excellent care of our fetch-obsessed retriever! Tuesday definitely got extra exercise during Ashleighs stay. She also made sure she wasn’t left alone at the house for too long. Came home to the house looking great and Tuesday happy and healthy! Would definitely use Ashleigh again!”
“Jamie is truly a gem! From the moment we first connected, we knew our pets were going to be in amazing hands. We had a few hiccups trying to find the right sitter—people flaked or didn’t feel like the right fit—but Jamie was everything we were looking for and more. She took incredible care of our puppy Jeremy and our cat Milly, and her updates were the perfect mix of reassuring and hilarious. She totally got their personalities—giving Milly her peaceful moments away from Jeremy’s antics and making sure they both felt loved and happy. Jamie was also super flexible when our schedule changed. She was always communicative, incredibly kind, and clearly just loved being with the kids. We came home to a clean house, happy pets, and peace of mind. We’d welcome her back in a heartbeat! Thank you, Jamie, for being so wonderful—we’re lucky to have found you!”
“Absolutely amazing! Was so kind sweet loving with my dog and respectful of my place. Needed a sitter last minute and she jumped at it and truly saved me. Will be using all the time! And highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Amanda sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away and really took the time to get to know our dogs! She left the house clean and we would recommend her to anyone!”
“Willow did a great job house sitting for us and watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats, they all loved her and she performed all duties we asked + gave lots of play time and walks. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Amy did such an amazing job watching our dog Presley after our wedding. She is so kind and really made us feel at ease that Presley and our house was in good hands! Will be using her again!!!”
“Kalena is absolutely fantastic. You can tell she truly loves animals and they love her too. She was prompt, provided detailed updates and photos each day, and left the house in excellent condition. She followed all care instructions and happily managed our little zoo of four dogs.”
“This is our first-time using Rover! We have been so impressed with Monica. We have one shy puppy, Lucy and she warmed up to Monica during our first consult. She is so knowledgeable and understands dogs and their behaviors. We are so pleased to have found her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchaca
Our 16-year-old chihuahua is super bonded to my partner, and it’s always a question how he’ll do with other people when we’re not there. It’s clear that he felt right at home with Tiffany taking care of him. We felt at ease our whole time away and knew we’d come back to a happy pup!
Hope gave me such peace of mind leaving my pups behind for a work trip. She checked in with lots of photos and left the house perfect. Secretly would love to not let the cat out of the bag so I can book her again but she deserves all the praise! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her again. :)
Amy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She stayed at my house with my large boxer (with zero boundaries) and two frenchies (who require extra levels of supervision) for 4 days. Amy embraced each dog without hesitation. She went above and beyond when it came to communication and left my house exactly as she found it. I would absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking!
I would love to have Amanda be my go-to sitter going forward. She is incredibly professional and responsible and took such special care of my cat and my house as well!! I didn’t feel like I needed to check in at all, as I was able to totally relax while I was away knowing my cat had great companionship. Would highly recommend!
Angelica was amazing with our two goldens and little kitten. The morning before we went out of town, one of our goldens received a small battle wound around his eye from rough rousing with our other golden. Angelica monitored him closely and updated us regularly with pictures. We personally do not like putting the responsibility to watch an injured pup on another person, so my husband came back a day early. It truly wasn’t necessary because Angelica did a fabulous job keeping an eye on him and ensuring he did not over exert himself. She even brought over an interactive toy to keep our kitten entertained!! We will absolutely be booking her services again!!
Ashley was great with our group of little weirdos! She was super flexible with doing a meet and greet since we moved across town 2 days before we left town. We were sent lots of pictures and kept up to date on how they were doing. I’d definitely recommend her for your fur babies!
Maritza was an excellent pet sitter!! She demonstrated consistent communication, care, and attention to Bonnie. She sent plenty of photos and videos, and answered any questions I had with promptness and confidence. From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in safe hands. Thank you Maritza for your extended care for Bonnie and my home! I’m so grateful I was able to travel stress-free 😊
Rory was hands down the best! New kitten owner and nervous going away for the first time and she was very understanding and extra communicative. Went out of her way to send me updates and pictures. She made sure my baby was cared and loved for. Will be booking with again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
