“She did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of my pup! Communication was great from start to finish, she was respectful of my home, and I came back to everything in great shape. Most importantly, my dog was happy, well taken care of, and clearly enjoyed having her around. I really appreciated how responsible and easy to work with she was. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy house sitter, and I would definitely have her watch my home and pup again!”
“Not only did I have a great time because I knew my big head handsome was taken care of, but I came home to sheets washed, kitchen cleaner than I left it... unexpected delight! Thanks Jada!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets through feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m comfortable helping puppies maintain consistent routines, including potty breaks, feeding schedules, crate time, and basic reinforcement. I also understand that senior dogs may need extra patience, gentler care, medication reminders, and attention to their individual needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! The pups you see in my profile has been some of the babies I’ve taken care of. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I’m available throughout the week, Monday through Sunday, including daytime and evening visits. I can work with your schedule to provide consistent, reliable care, whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention while you’re away! I provide care in the comfort of your pet’s own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping up with their daily routines, I make sure every pup receives plenty of attention and care. I always prioritize safety, respect your home as if it were my own, and follow your instructions closely to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away!
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! From classic farm animals, household dogs and cats, amphibians, and beyond! Most recently, I’ve loved fostering dogs and cats for my local shelter, in addition to spending my free time exploring the outdoors with my own dog. I love all animals, and am comfortable with all ages, sizes and needs your fur baby may have. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with your needs and ideal routine to ensure the smoothest care possible while you’re away. I value clear and open communication to ensure your pet(s) are safe and their needs are met! Whether you prefer close oversight or are more laid back and want someone who can naturally anticipate needs, I’ve got you covered.

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!”

About: I have a dog of my own who is about a 3 years old. We adopted him from the shelter when he was 9 months old, provided leash training, crate training, and taught him basic commands. I grew up on a farm with lots of outdoor dogs as well and truly love being around them. I’m available for weekday and weekend drop-ins and can give your pets walks, play time, treats, and love. I have been babysitting for a family for the last 2 years who had a 6 year old Boxer and provided basic pet care such as walks, bathroom breaks, and feedings. I am a mental health counselor and work from 9-5 most weekdays. I am available for weekend visits and/or evening drops-ins throughout the workweek. The pets in my home receive the utmost amount of love and attention. Of course I will always adhere to any rules and guidelines that are communicated by owners. I love taking my dog to the park, playing fetch, going on runs and walks, and cuddling with him on the couch. I am a big animal lover and think every dog deserves unconditional love.
“Keana was the BEST sitter I have used on rover. She was so attentive and sent me allll of the pictures and videos of my babies, Shayla & peanut. She sent pictures and videos of updates which I appreciated SO MUCH. She was kind and loving to my fur babies and I cannot recommend her more.. Even though keana lived about 5 min from me, she still stayed the night at my request & gave my babies all the time love and attention they needed and that I desired for them. I will be booking with Keana as soon as I have a date for my next trip!”
“Corina was absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend as a dog sitter. We have two larger/mid-size dogs. We received updates and photos at least twice a day. Communication was smooth and proactive. We know everything was being handled with care and as if we were home with them. The girls had the best time!”
“Jessica was wonderful! Our dog is older and requires a little extra patience but Jessica was so kind and exceeded all our expectations. She was very communicative and sent pictures daily. Highly recommend her and look forward to using her again.”

I know you don’t know me yet but with my dogs as my witness, I take care of each and every animal that I see or come in touch with all of my heart and soul. Pick me to become your animals sitter. I will play and feed them to your liking. I offer 5 walks a day and I can feed them 3 times a day, as well as provide them treats.

Just say the word, I’m you’re girl! I work for myself so I have much more time available than the average person. I occasionally have to take calls but my attention will be wherever your pups are! I have a decade of prior experience in taking care of dogs/puppies. Whether you hire me to walk your dog, drop in, or house sit I will treat them with the love that all animals should have. I’ll walk them, run with them, play tug of war, get their mind working with asking them to play some tricks (maybe I could teach them something to show you later!) and take care of them as you would. I don’t allow any fighting between dogs at the park on my watch!
“So kind, & responsible. Went completely out of her way to care for our needy puppy while we were away on a very important trip!! Even when things came up she maintained so calm. Peace of mind was unmatched. Would hire again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Braunfels
Marina was excellent. She kept us updated on our home and the pets. Our absence was around 11 days, so she had to handle a few routine “hiccups” for us (aquarium malfunction, WiFi issue). She is definitely trustworthy, reliable, and resourceful (and a good problem-solver). I would be happy to have her housesit again! Thanks, Marina!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in New Braunfels is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $79 per night. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,634 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Braunfels. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
