“Kim is so sweet with Obi! She came to meet him previously because he gets scared of new people but he warmed up to her immediately! He was so excited to see her when she came through the door and she took him on a great walk that tired him out! I can’t wait to continue using her!”
“Allison stopped by to take care of our three cats while we were away & she was great! Lots of updates of happy pets, friendly & quick communication, left everything tidy & clean. Definitely would book again & recommend others!”
“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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Years of experience taking care of my own cats. I have had several throughout the years as well as dogs. Love all animals like they were my own My schedule is flexible, so I have more than enough time to play with your cats and dogs when needed and show them the love they need. I would care for your pets in your home as if they were my own, with love and compassion. I would make sure they felt loved and cared for.
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: I have been a veterinary technician for 6 years working an array of practices. From small pocket pets to large animal, general practice to emergency care, I thrive off making sure your kiddos are treated like family!! I am experienced in nail trimming dogs and cats, so if your kiddo is in need of a mani-pedi I’m all ears! I work flexible relief shifts at an animal ER, allowing me to accommodate varied schedules and provide reliable, attentive, and personalized pet care. With 6 years of veterinary experience and an additional 6 years of equine specific training, I’m no stranger to pet care, no matter the size! All of my four-legged friends have been rescues, so I believe in treating every animal with patience, respect, and compassion. I strongly support positive reinforcement and science-backed, ethical training methods. I believe pets should be treated like family, but they’re allowed to also just be a dog/cat, too!
About: Hi! I’m Andy, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, and other pets—both my own and those of friends and neighbors—and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. Because I work from home, pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick outdoor break, a midday walk, or just being present for companionship, I’m able to fully accommodate their needs without distractions or schedule conflicts. I love having pets around—it makes my workday better, and I make sure theirs is just as enjoyable and stress-free! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions or medications.
“Jennifer was awesome! She was intentional about being in time, when she couldn't be, she was super apologetic, where most people I would have never known. She takes her responsibilities very seriously. Your pets are in good hands.”

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Braunfels is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
