About: Hi! I’m Lacey, and I’ve always been an animal lover. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, because they’re family. I’m dependable, patient, and active, whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with lots of attention and belly rubs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer most medications if needed, send regular photo and video updates, and make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable visits, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels like something I genuinely look forward to. I’m organized, reliable, and comfortable following each pet’s specific routine, whether that means scheduled feedings, medication reminders, litter box care, walks, or simply giving them attention and comfort while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. I believe pets feel safest when they’re in a familiar environment, so I provide calm, patient attention while respecting their personality and boundaries. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure they receive plenty of love and interaction, and send updates so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾

About: Since I started living in New Braunfels, family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take care of their pets (walking, feeding, playing, etc.). During the week, I work solely from home. I am available on weekends as well. I am very flexible and accommodating so please reach out. I have a fenced and spacious yard. I am very accommodating and willing to help in any way I can. I work completely from home to ensure I am with the pups throughout the day. We also go on two consistent walks each day: morning and evening. Safety is my number one priority. I will ensure to follow all guidelines from each owner regarding the care of their pet as well as ask any important questions I may have.

“Lauren always does a wonderful job watching my cat, Minnie, when I’m out of town! Lauren is communicative, sends lots of photos, and makes sure Minnie is cared for when I’m gone.”
“We have used Rover multiple times in different cities but without a doubt Rachel has been one of the best. She was fast to answer our messages and sent pictures along with a detailed review of every visit. Our dogs really liked her and we will continue reaching out to her every time we are out of town. I feel confident enough to recommend her, She is responsible, friendly, accommodating and kind. Rachel deserves more than 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I had the pleasure of having Jade from Rover take care of my dogs this week, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Jade went above and beyond in ensuring the well-being of my furry companions. Will most definitely use her services again and I recommend her services.”
About: Hi! My name Trinity and I’m 25 years old. I have taken care of a few dogs this past year my best friend’s two dogs, my other’s friend dog for 2 weeks. I would feed the dogs walk the dogs and stay with them. The dogs were so sweet and kind made me want to start spending more time with animals. I also used to watch dogs when I was younger! I am definitely open to meeting in person to see if I’m a good fit before booking! I really do love I’m currently working full-time, but I have three days off in a row! Right now I have some time off of work so I will be more available than usual! When I do work, I get off at 5:30 PM. I like following routine whatever the owner says is a routine for the dog. I will follow it! So whatever is comfortable with the owner is comfortable with me! I currently live in apartment by myself, but I do not have a backyard. I’m on the second floor, but I’m willing to stay at other people’s apartments or houses to help or even to go check check-in!
About: I've grown up around dogs and currently have three of my own, so caring for them has been part of my daily life for years. I've also dog sat for family and friends, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening check-ins. I'm happy to communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for both them and their pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions provided by owners and make sure pets stay on their normal routine. I'll always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! With decades of hands-on experience caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I understand that our furry companions aren't just animals — they're family. Over the years, I've shared my life with a wonderful variety of dogs, from small breeds to large, each with their own unique personalities, energy levels, and needs. Today, my little 6-pound companion, Pico, and my three Bengal cats keep life entertaining! I enjoy everything from outdoor walks and adventures to spending quiet time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and care tailored to their individual personality. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some loving companionship while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week, including select weekends. Late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings work best for me. I also work in real estate, so I carefully manage my calendar to make sure every pet in my care receives the time and attention they deserve. I'm happy to discuss recurring visits or occasional care based on your pet's needs and my availability. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I take time to learn each pet's personality, routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs before beginning care. I believe in gentle handling, secure leashes, and respecting each pet's boundaries. I never force interactions with unfamiliar animals and always follow the owner's instructions. During visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, receives plenty of love & attention, and is comfortable before I leave. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in caring hands.
About: Growing up, I owned 4-5 dogs at a time, ranging in sizes from 8 pounds to 50 pounds! I also worked for a Dogtopia dog daycare and boarding! I have owned and cared for dogs from all ages, from 8 weeks puppies to 17 year old doggies! I currently work part time remotely, so I am very flexible with days and time. I work just from my computer, so my eye won’t be far! I live very close to trails, public parks, and my apartments offer a dog park as well! I live in a very walkable apartment complex as well!
“Jennifer is beyond patient and brave with our 17yo deaf and blind dog and our usually fearful, anxious dog. Her visit reports are detailed and specific. She was prompt and handled everything exactly as planned/expected. We have already booked Jennifer for our next trip!”
About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive care I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort signals, so they feel safe and understood—not just watched. I’m experienced with puppy basics, including potty-training support, crate routine, gentle socialization, and reinforcing good manners with positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, offering patient walks, medication reminders, mobility support, and extra reassurance for pets who need a slower pace. Whether your pet needs playtime, walk, check-in, structure, medication, or simply a familiar, loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like part of my own family—and keep you updated along the way. I work from home 5 days a week, meaning your pup will have constant companionship, frequent potty breaks. They are never left alone for long stretches. Fully Fenced Yard: I have a spacious, completely secure fenced backyard where your dog can safely sniff, play fetch, and stretch their legs throughout the day.
About: I had my own dog for 10 years and she recently passed away. I'm not in a position to get a new dog, so I'm excited to give your dog some love and attention! I have experience with dog-aggressive dogs, seniors and medication administration. I work full time remotely so I can easily fit your pets into my schedule. I can do early, lunchtime, or dinner visits to meet your pet's needs. When staying in your home, I would treat it as my own. I can water plants, check the mail - anything you need taken care of while you're away, in addition to loving on and taking care of your pets.
“This is the 3rd time we have used Tim to watch our pups & it was our biggest challenge! THIS time we left 5 in his care that varied from 9lbs-80lbs & 2yrs old-13yrs old. Two of our fur babies have never been taken care of by anyone other than a close family member & normally always travel with us but circumstances did not allow this trip. In the past, we would have adjusted our travel plans & someone would have had to stay home but because of our past experience with Tim & our trust in him, we all were able to enjoy a family trip together. I am forever grateful to him! HE IS AMAZING!!!!”
About: I am a freshman at TXST and the hardest part about moving here was leaving my pets. I have 3 dogs back home: 2 goldens and a small mutt we got at the pound for my fifth birthday. I pet sit all the time when my parents & grandparents leave town. I’m currently balancing school and a part time job but my schedule stays exactly the same every week ( my job is only open very specific hours so i have the exact same shifts every week). This would be great if you plan to be a return customer because we could easily get a routine down. All of my pets have passed from old age so i think i’m doing a pretty good job keeping them alive! In all seriousness i will take care of your pets like they’re my own, i cry over animal shelter commercials.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Braunfels
Hanna was a fantastic caretaker for our dog, cat, and 8 chickens! She did drop-in visits while we were on vacation and always showed up on time and sent me pictures of my critters. She communicated with me every day to let me know how they were doing and I felt great knowing everything was taken care of while we were away!
Kylie absolutely saved the day. After a neighbor we trusted to watch our dogs failed us, Kylie stepped in on short notice and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were safe and cared for. We can’t thank her enough and will be using her every time we need a sitter.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 New Braunfels 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
