“Jessica did a super job with Casper. She worked with him do to his back leg problem, to make sure he got out side to play and potty. Jessica keep the house neat and clean up after herself and Casper. I will definitely use Jessica again.”
“Ashley was amazing with our animals. They loved her and did better with her than they have in the past with other people. She sent us so many pictures while we were away which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be rebooking with Ashley anytime we are out of town!”
“Megan was a fantastic sitter for our 2 dogs! From the very first time she came over to meet us her communication was excellent, and we really enjoyed the regular pictures and videos we got from her we were away. But most importantly, we felt great about leaving our pets and our home in her hands. Now all I’m worried about is that our dogs are sad that she left! ❤️”
“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire 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.”
“Vanessa was amazing while watching my dog Cloud!! I could not have asked for a better sitter. She was open to options to allow Cloud to have the best time with her while I was away on vacation. I also loved that she is a vet tech so I know she has the knowledge and training to do what's best if anything were to happen. I would definitely recommend letting her sit your pup, because she treats them like her own!”
“We could not have asked for a better person to stay at our home and care for our “kids”. Bella and Opie were both so comfortable with Robin from first visit. We received daily pictures and videos of them and could see they were very happy and being taken care of. Not only did Robin care for our pets as her own, she also cared for our home as her own. There were so issues with our AC unit and she handled it, including having a repair technician come in. Cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% be using her again in the future!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.
“Julia took great care of my cat and dog. When my dog had a minor injury (not her fault) she was communicative and professional in handling it and keeping me informed. Would book again.”
“This was the second time Alexandra took care of our dogs and cat. Both times she took excellent care of our pets. She provided updates and included pictures. Would book with her again.”
“Absolutely outstanding experience! Kate cared for our dogs and cat and also watched our home, and she exceeded expectations in every way. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with thoughtful updates and daily photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of that, she left our home spotless, which was such a great surprise to come back to. It genuinely felt like our home and pets were treated with the same care and attention she would give her own. If you are even considering hiring Kate, do it immediately! We will absolutely book Kate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter.”
“Makaelah did a great job with our dog Luna. Luna can be apprehensive to new people at first and she went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable. Also she updated me on how things were going which I really appreciated while we were on vacation. We will book her again for our next vacation.”
“Pamela took wonderful care of our Bella Boo while we were away for 4 days. Bella Boo is our 7-year-old French Bulldog with paralysis in her back legs, so finding someone we trust is incredibly important. Pamela went above and beyond to make sure Bella Boo was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She kept us updated, followed Bella Boo’s special needs with compassion and attention, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup. We are so grateful for Pamela and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter—especially for pets who need a little extra support. Thank you, Pamela! ❤️🐾 Bella Boo absolutely adored her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Pamela again!”
About: What Sets Me Apart I’ve had dogs as companions all my life, and after losing my sweet boy Dewey, caring for pets brings so much meaning to my days. Because my schedule allows me to be present in your home for a good portion of the day, it's wonderful to share space with a pet and keep them company in the place they feel safest. Here is what sets my care apart when I stay at your home: Senior Pet Expertise: I have a deep fondness and specialized experience with senior dogs. I know how to read subtle body language, accommodate slow-moving joints, stick strictly to medication routines, and give them the extra patience, gentle care, and comfort they deserve in their golden years. Preserving Their Normal Routine: Traveling can be stressful for pets, but staying in their own home minimizes that anxiety completely. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique personality and keep their daily habits, favorite sleeping spots, and walk schedules exactly as they like them. Attentive Companionship: Since I spend plenty of time on-site during my stay, your pet won't be sitting in an empty house waiting for a quick check-in. They get genuine presence, routine, and a fair bit of extra spoiling and pampering while you’re out of town. Conscientious House Guest: You can enjoy your vacation with complete peace of mind knowing your home is secure and cared for. I treat your property with absolute respect, keep things tidy, handle mail/deliveries, and ensure you return to a clean, welcoming home. Since I work online from my laptop, my day naturally centers around whoever has four legs and is hanging out near my feet! Being based right at your house throughout the day means your pets get a consistent companion to snuggle, chat with, and stick right to their usual routine. After owning a home in Austin for 20 years (and missing my sweet boy Dewey every day), I care for your home with the exact same love and meticulous eye I gave my own. You’ll come home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless, well-cared-for house—and I’m always happy to share local references from neighbors who know me best! My primary concern is for your pup to feel secure and loved. If it's the first time we met, I spend extra time at the start of the visit to get connected and determine their needs. We quickly build a bond of trust, creating a great experience for them.
“Amber was absolutely wonderful! She communicated often and sent photos/videos, as we requested. She left our home better than she found it :) All of our animals were happy and calm when we got home. We'd absolutely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Meadowlakes on Rover is $31.65 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 935 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Meadowlakes. 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 Meadowlakes 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 Meadowlakes 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 Meadowlakes 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Meadowlakes. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
