“Danielle was amazing, I reached out to here last minute and she responded promptly. She took care of my baby Jasper. Would highly recommend and happily rebook.”
“Man I was nervous to have someone come in my apartment and take my pup for a walk but let me say I can’t recommend Janie enough. Her flexibility to my chaotic schedule and the way she truly loves each and every pup she gets to love on is amazing. I wouldn’t trade her for the world! She is truly one of a kind and so trustworthy!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. From participating in 4-H as a kid to working as a veterinary technician and rescuing pets for years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I provide compassionate, dependable care—including extra patience, comfort, and attention for senior pets who need a little more love. I work from home Monday through Friday and have weekends off, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and round-the-clock care every day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore. My friendly, well-socialized fur baby loves making new friends and enjoys the company of other pets. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated for meals, bedtime, or when unattended, I’m happy to accommodate their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“I have hired Courtney now 4 times., and my situation she is the write person to care for my animals. Every time during her visits we had great communication, she was on time, and follows my instructions perfectly.”
“Bryanna was great with our Gordito! She was careful and patient with him and made sure all his needs were attended to. She was detail oriented with our specific requests. Would definitely get her again!”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing. My pets loved her and were so well taken care of. She was even able to keep my escape artist of a cat from escaping, despite his attempt. Thank you Nicole! I will definitely be a returning client.”
About: I’m Blake! I grew up in South Texas with dogs, cats, horses, chickens and various types of rodents at all times. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 bunnies and 2 cats of my own - they are all unique characters. You ever need to go out of town but feel dread at the idea of leaving your pets to strangers or overwhelmed family members? Same. I will love and care for your pets like you do. I also clean, because pets can be messy, and coming home to an overflowing litter box is a bummer. For your cat, and you. I am primarily available for daily drop ins and walks. I'm familiar with all types of pet personalities and I feel comfortable with special diets, administering medication, physically/visually impaired dogs, high-energy pets and large breed types. Back on Rover after a pet sitting hiatus! I have worked from home full time since 2020. As someone who used to commute, I know what a bummer it is to need someone to let your pets out or walk them midday. And I feel for pets who really really just need to pee and play for a bit. I also need to support my property tax habit. SO! I am available during the weekdays primarily for drop ins and walks. I try to keep the environment and routines consistent. Play with the toys they like to play with. Sniff the mailboxes they love. Trying to offset the anxiety animals feel when their owners are away.
“She has been the best to my little best friend! She always makes sure to communicate and take the cutest pictures during her drop in visits. He loves getting all the attention! Highly recommend booking her to take care of your fur babies!”
About: Have always had a dog in my family loved them ever since I was a kid and I love to walk. You can count on me I work a 3 week on 3 week off schedule so I basically have all day on my days off to take care of your animals Depend on what you require I can easily crate your dog if needed, feed them, walk them, take them to the park, and whatever else you need.
About: I have grown up around a lot of different animals. Younger I help my family 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.
About: Hello there! I've been pet sitting for over 15 years now all around Texas and even as far north as New Hampshire. I have extensive experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for birds, reptiles, hermit crabs, fish, farm animals, insects, and spiders. Whether your pet needs specialized feeding, habitat maintenance, medication, or simply a consistent routine while you're away, I'm happy to provide attentive care. I look forward to hearing from you! *After taking time away from Rover, I'm excited to be accepting bookings again. I currently work a full-time hybrid/remote job and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule during the week and on weekends to either check in on your fur babies several times during the day, take them on walks, or house sit. It's important to me to always follow instructions given to me by my clients, especially if there are special diets or medications to administer. I strive to keep things safe and comfortable for your pets, bringing all the love. Each visit I also provide updates and pictures to help ease your mind while you're away. I give each pet the same love and attention that I give my own (I have four cats).
“This was our first time using Rover for our dog and it could not have been a better experience! Kimberley was wonderful with our girl, making sure she was well cared for and comfortable. Kim communicated regularly and sent us pictures of her playtime with our dog. Will definitely use Kim again!”
About: I've always had pets growing up and love dogs of all sizes! I've also fosteed kittens and cats occasionally through the animal shelter and a local rescue since 2017. Your pet will be safe and well cared for! I work from home and can take frequent breaks to check on or play with your pup. I can assure your pet will receive frequent bathroom breaks and plenty of play time. I have 3 dogs of my own that would love to keep your pet company! I also have a large and medium crates for overnight visits if that's what your pet is used to. I do have 2 cats so your dog must be good with cats. I do require all pets I watch to be vaccinated for rabies and DHLPP for dogs or FVRCP for cats. All my animals are spayed/neutered and vaccinated. I work from home so I'm always available for your pet's needs and care. I have a very flexible schedule at work and am able to take walks or play breaks throughout the day. My pets and the pets I care for are treated like family. They are allowed to hang out with the family during the day. At night they either free roam, go to one of the extra rooms, or get crated if that's what they're used to. My goal is to make your pet comfortable during their stay.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Braunfels
Hannah is hands down the best sitter I’ve had. She is so nice and really did take care of my animals like they were her own. I was super stressed leaving my babies for so long but Hannah really made that stress go away. She updated me, answered any questions i had, and made sure all of my pets needs were met! It was such a pleasure having her as a sitter, and while our kitties are excited we are home, they definitely miss Hannah lol.
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 Pet Sitting in New Braunfels is $17 per visit as of October 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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
