“Michael was absolutely amazing with my 2 old men, he was very communicative, they loved him, and he was very attentive to their individual needs and personalities. Will definitely book with him again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She completely exceeded our expectations — she honored all our wishes and made our pets feel right at home. She cared for our two dogs and our cat with so much love and attention, and we were able to enjoy our vacation in total peace knowing they were in such responsible hands. This was our first time leaving one of our dogs, and she made her feel so comfortable and loved — even cuddling with her at night. Our other dog, who usually takes a while to trust people, bonded with her right away. When she left, both dogs followed her to the door, which says it all! She even went above and beyond by cleaning our home and putting fresh sheets on the bed (completely unprompted!). We are so grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. We can’t recommend her highly enough! ❤️🐾”
“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!”
“Llanie was great with our dogs Boli and Oggy. She was on time, communicative, and thoughtful. Our dogs immediately loved her! The dogs really loved her from the photos and videos she sent over! We will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“A perfect 10. Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our pup and staying in communication with us. She also sent over super cute photos of our doggie. We wholeheartedly recommend her services.”
“Joely was absolutely amazing with our dog, Murphy! She was so sweet and caring, and kept us updated daily with photos and messages that really put our minds at ease while we were out of town. Murphy can be shy at first, but he warmed up to her very quickly and they bonded. Our dog also takes medication twice a day, and Joely handled it perfectly. We’re so thankful for her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for us, she was able to accommodate us on short notice and work with our schedule for the day to ensure that our boy had someone to keep him company while we were gone :). We got updates, pictures, and she took him on two walks that day to make sure he had an outlet for all his energy. After our experience with Michelle, we'll definitely be using her again!”
“I immediately felt at ease when I met Amanda and felt confident that My sweet boy would be in good hands while we were away. I was right, Amanda took great care of our six month old golden retriever while we were out of town for ten days. When we arrived home, I could tell that he was happy and well cared for while we were gone. I am looking forward to working with Amanda for many bookings to come hopefully!”
“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”
“Gihan watched our baby for the first time and was wonderful with him. Very patient with his fussy quirks and really taking the time to get to know him better. We appreciated her sending updates and plenty of photos to keep us posted on how things were coming along throughout the day. We already have her booked again for our next time away!”
“Monica is so wonderful with all our pets. She watches our 3 dogs and 1 cat and truly loves them! She is so good to them and communicates with us non stop with updates, pictures, and videos. We will continue to use Monica anytime we go out of town!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have gotten paid to take care of them for a little over 8 years! What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved!! I’m patient with puppies, attentive with senior dogs, and happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re getting a fun, loving home away from home. I’m not just their sitter, I’m looking to be their new best friend! 🥰 WFH full time as an HR Coordinator, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also a proud dog mom to my pug, Gigi, who is truly part of my family. I’m very attentive to her needs and make sure she gets daily exercise, plenty of playtime, and lots of cuddles. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup!! 🥰 I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow each pet’s routine and care instructions closely, provide plenty of supervision and attention, and treat every dog like my own! As a dog owner myself, I would ensure your dog’s safety and make sure that they aren’t even worried about their pawrents being away!
About: I grew up with a cat, so I understand feline independence, quirks, and how to earn trust — even with the shy ones. Over the years, I’ve also lived with roommates who had dogs, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and just being a steady, calm presence for a dog who’s used to company. Beyond my own home, I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years — everything from quick daily check-ins to longer stays while people were traveling. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and communicate with owners so they feel at ease the whole time. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a quiet companion, or just someone reliable to make sure they’re fed and loved, I’m happy to step in. Since I work fully remote, I’m home basically all day, so your pet gets plenty of company rather than long stretches alone. We will go for walks or dog park time throughout the day. My apartment doesn’t have direct yard access, but the complex has several dog parks nearby for outdoor time and socializing. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s usual feeding routine, and I send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing throughout the stay.
“Willow was amazing. I am always an overbearing pet parent to my kiddos and she was so sweet always answering my texts and sending me pictures every day. Truly the best!”
“We’ve had Crystal house sit with our goldendoodle twice and she’s been just a great help! We’ve gone on two long weekend trips and have come back to a clean house and a happy cared for pup. She sends pictures and updates, and follows any requests I’ve made. I highly recommend her! :)”
“Amy is absolutely wonderful! Presley loves her so much. We got updates on how she was doing. I felt so at ease knowing that Presley was with her in our home so it’s less stress on Presley especially during New Year’s Eve. Even after Amy left, Presley was looking for her in the guest room. ☺️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchaca
We knew we were in great hands with Hope from the moment we met her! She kept us updated the entire time with photos and the BEST commentary that always made us laugh. Coco and Finn honestly never looked happier. One of our dogs is usually pretty nervous around new people, and he warmed up to Hope so quickly, which says everything about her. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. We will absolutely be using Hope again and can’t recommend her enough. If you’re in the Austin area and need someone you can completely trust with your pets, reach out to Hope. You won’t be disappointed!
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!
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
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!
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 💜🐶😺

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manchaca on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,619 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.

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.
