“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Carmen is worth the five star. Not only did she do an excellent job with the house sitting, but my two babies will miss her. I will continue to use her for all future needs, if she accepts.”
“Christina is such an amazing pet care provider! One of my dogs was in heat, and got into a tussle with my other fixed female while I was away. She did everything to make sure they got separated and were okay. I’m so thankful to have found not just a great care provider but one that kept my furbabies safe while I was away! Thank you Christina!!!”
About: I have grown up around a lot of different animals. Younger I help my family breed and raise German Shepherds. As an adult I’ve have many different pets both cats and dogs. Animals are our life. I give them the same love as you would to your baby. I currently do not work a standard job. I door dash as well as my own company that is through YouTube. My schedule is wide open to any availability. My dogs are my life. I have 2 corgis that are my world. I ensure they get their play time in with plenty of pets. My wife says I spoil them too much but it’s just the amount of love I have for them.
“Sara is so wonderful! She is so attentive and precise with her questioning to make she knows your dog before her stay. She messaged us daily to keep us informed on how they were doing and my dog was super happy when I got home. We already have her booked for another weekend stay next month.”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our two big dogs and house sitting. So happy to have found her to take care of our boys! We will definitely use her again and recommend her.”
“Kallie was AMAZING!!!! She constantly sent pics and if my dogs lay on and around her, she’s a keeper! It’s always so hard to find that person to trust with your dogs and your home, but we found “that person” with Kallie!”
“Corina, was amazing watching our boys! She did an amazing job watching our pups and updating us as well as sending pictures. They were well taken care of and you could see that they were happy and comfortable around her. Very professional and communicative. She was also very respectful of our home.”
“We have an 11 1/2 year old golden retriever who is blind, and she was taken care of and was safe in Kaliann's care! Kaliann was communicative and sent us pictures which we appreciated! I would recommend Kaliann!”
About: Hi! I have cared for dogs my whole life! Not only do I currently have a dog of my own named sunshine, I have consistently been trusted with the pets of my friends, family, and neighbors. From puppy to elderly dog, I am able to provide any extra help or care your pet may need 😊 I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in nursing at TLU in New Braunfels, but I have plenty of flexibility between classes and study breaks to spend quality time with your pet. I’m happy to take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they receive the attention and care they need! I’m happy to take your pet on walks, play fetch, or just keep them company! Whatever your pet’s individual needs may be, I’ll do my best to provide them with attentive and reliable care.
“Tara was fantastic! She stayed overnight in our home to watch our two high-energy pups, a Rottweiler and a French Bulldog while my husband and I were away. She was extremely communicative, reliable, and responsible the entire time. She checked in regularly and sent us photos, which really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. Her sweet dog Louie came along too and was an absolute love, he played so well with both of our dogs and fit right in. It was such a relief knowing everyone was happy and getting along. We can’t recommend Tara enough and will absolutely be using her as our regular sitter moving forward!”
“We rebooked Courtney to watch our pups for a week and she was amazing. She housesat for us as well and she really did treat our home as if it were her own. I have zero complaints and would rebook her again without any hesitation.”
“Delane was a wonderful dog/house sitter for us. She was extremely responsive and attentive. She provided photos and updates each day. She followed all our instructions and left the house in immaculate condition. Highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Braunfels
This was our first time away from our furbabies. Marina was great and took exceptional care of them. They are older dogs and don’t do much anymore but just the same they are our babies. It was nice to be out for the day and not worry (too much) about the dogs being home and rushing around to get back. Thanks Marina for being there with them. Jesse and Bella said they had a great day too! We will definitely be calling again!
I feel so at ease with Carmen watching our two dogs. Repeat customers and it’s very comforting to not even have to think about what’s going on with the dogs because they’re so well taken care of. Even tossed in 3 pills twice a day for one of our dogs this time - no problems!
Victoria stayed in our home taking care of our 4 cats while we were on vacation. She was absolutely fantastic! She sent pictures and updates daily, was very detail oriented, observant of things around the house, and a wonderful communicator. We have some shy boys who like to hide with new people, but it didn't take but maybe a day until they felt comfortable to be out and about with her there. All cat people know, that's a big deal! We will one million percent book with Victoria again!
Kayla did an outstanding job with all of our pets and home! She rescued us after our last sitter canceled last minute. She sent pics &communication daily, it was so reassuring to know they were safe and well cared for while we were away. I would definitely recommend Kayla to anyone &will definitely reach out to her for our next trip!
Matt has been our go to sitter since 2017. We have no reservations about leaving our pups in Matt’s care. Matt communicates throughout the day when he drops in, we have never had any issues while we are away; but I know if ever an issue comes up Matt would let us know right away. I have referred him several times.
Absolutey fantastic! Hannah was truly the BEST! Henry was well cared for, happy and comfortable the entire time. I also appreciated all the updates, photos, and attention given to his needs. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She was Awesome! I will definitely book her again!
After several difficult experiences interviewing pet sitters in my area, I was honestly very nervous to try again. I am an anxious dog owner, and trusting someone with my pets does not come easily—especially because our dogs are high-need breeds. From the very first conversation, Lily made me feel calm, heard, and reassured. I shared my past experiences with her, and she was so kind and understanding. She even scheduled a meet-and-greet with my pets, which meant the world to me. When Lily came to our home, I was truly touched by how prepared she was. She already knew all of my pets by name and remembered every special detail I had mentioned during our very brief phone call. We have a German Shepherd, a Husky, a Husky mix with extremely high needs who chews everything, and a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix—truly a household of dogs from big to small. Lily handled all of them with so much patience, confidence, and love. She was an absolute champion. We decided to start with an overnight stay before planning any longer trips. I honestly cannot put into words how thankful I am that we found her. Lily checked in regularly and was always so friendly. She cared for our four fur babies as if they were her own. She even let them sleep in bed with her, which instantly told me how much she truly loves animals. We have finally found our sitter and will absolutely be using Lily again and again. I cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for someone who will love and care for your pets the way you do, Lily is the one.
Sara was amazing! She was reliable, attentive and kept us updated with photos and messages. We returned home to happy and relaxed pups, and a clean house. It's clear she truly loves animals and treats them as her own. We highly recommend Sara and will definitely book her again!🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - New Braunfels
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Braunfels on Rover is $44.4 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 1,660 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Braunfels. 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 New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels 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 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!
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.
