About: I’m an athletic animal enthusiast with a lifelong love for dogs. I have 3 furry friends of my own, a dog and two cats, so I understand the joy and responsibility of caring for pets. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and learning each pet’s unique personality. I especially love training and engaging with dogs, whether they’re playful puppies or seniors, making sure every animal feels happy and safe. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I enjoy starting my day with walks, playtime, and feeding, and I can adjust my schedule to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits and can accommodate special needs or longer care sessions when needed. I create a safe, loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I supervise all interactions, maintain clean spaces, and follow any specific instructions regarding food, medications, or routines. I build trust gradually by learning each pet’s personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for, and I communicate regularly with owners to keep them informed and confident in my care.
“Janie was worlds best dog sitter!! We will be recommending her to all of our friends. She made sure our dog was loved and taken care of while we were gone. He has separation anxiety anytime we leave town but it was clear he really enjoyed spending time with her. She was amazing about sending pictures and summaries of her visit. We'll definitely be using her again!!”
“She was highly attentive to my cat, I could tell a world of difference when I got back from my trip vs without her attention. He was SO much happier. Her pictures were really great too!”
“Cami was so thoughtful about coming over to meet our dogs before the drop-in visit. The dogs loved her, and I felt very confident in working with her. She was great!!”
“Autumn responded right away to my message and provided great care to our little dogs. She kept them company while we were away and kept me updated with messages and photos. Thank you, Autumn! Very much appreciated.”
“Codi is so sweet! She cared for and loved on my cat for a week while we were out of town and I wouldn’t pick anyone else to do the job she did. She was wonderful! She gave me detailed list of what she did every day and pictures. I will use her again when we need a cat sitter. She was wonderful! Thank you so much for giving my baby the best care in the world while we were away!”
“So happy with our first rover experience. Our sitter checked in through out the entire time and communicated constantly. Will definitely be using rover and sitter again!”
“Caroline took amazing care of our two dogs for drop in visits!! She was great with our high energy pair and sent great pictures and updates for each visit! The dogs were happy and tired when we arrived home and could tell they were well cared for.”
“Tara was super friendly and easy to work with. She made sure our boy was well taken care of while we were away. Easily recommend if you’re looking for someone to trust with your pets!”
“Stacy did an amazing job taking care of our pups! She took time to play with them and provide plenty of belly rubs. She cares a great deal and sends plenty of pictures and videos to keep in touch. We will definitely have her sit with our dogs again.”
“Sydney was great! She took great care of my pets, and made me feel confident in being able to leave my kitties at home. She was efficient in communicating and made my cats feel loved while we were gone.”
“Kallie K is spectacular! She went above and beyond for my fur baby, River - especially during the recent thunderstorms. She understood that if River didn't like fireworks, she probably didn't like thunderstorms and proceeded to stay with River through some of the worst during her time. My fur baby is very people shy, but Kallie was able to break through her shell. Her frequent updates and pictures made me feel like she was part of the family now. I wish I could afford to just put her on retainer! I really giver her 10 stars!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met, we felt completely comfortable leaving our sweet girl in their care. They treated her like family, sent regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe and loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy pet care!”

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.
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Braunfels stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Braunfels. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
