Arturo was great with our dogs! They both get medicine and one of them had a strict schedule to stick to. Arturo was extremely accommodating and made sure to give them the meds when needed. He’s communicative and this was a great experience!! Would absolutely recommend Arturo!!

Molly was fantastic with my dogs who are not always great with strangers. My dogs fell in love with her on their first meeting. I felt so comfortable being away for a few days. She sent multiple updates throughout the day with lots of pics. I hope she will come back when I need her.

Brittany was able to come last minute to watch my dog while I was out of town for the day. She was very patient and understanding of my old boy and did everything that I asked.

I left my puppy for the weekend for the first time so I was a bit nervous on how she’d do, but she did great! The sitter was good at updating and sending photos and making sure I knew Peppa was fine! She looked very happy in all the photos she sent :) I 10/10 recommend and I’ll 100% use her service in the future again

Annabelle is a perfect find for us! She loved our four-legged babies like her own. We loved that she would send videos and photos each day while we were away! We came home to a clean and picked up home showing she respected our space. She’s also just a sweetheart and she will always be our number one pet sitter!

We had a Angelica stay with our dogs for a week, and we truly can’t say enough good things about our experience. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish, with excellent communication the entire time. What really stood out was how attentive she was, she noticed something unusual in one of our dog’s behavior and reached out to us right away. That level of care meant everything to us and gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in such good hands, and it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she’s watching. We can’t recommend her enough and are already looking forward to having her back!

Shirley is super kind, caring towards my animals and sent me a lot of photos! The only reason I removed a star was because she did my normal night time routine (which I instructed her was right before bed), but then I got a Ring alert that she left my house at 10pm. I wasn't aware she would be stepping out so late, and because of the lack of communication, I was really worried. I shot her a text and she responded saying she was only briefly popping out, but she was still gone for an hour and didn't get back until after 11pm. Not critical, but as a worried dog / cat mom - it still made me nervous since I had no idea what was going on. Otherwise - her service was good & my animals seemed happy, which was the goal.

About: helloo! And welcome to my rover page 😃 A little about me I’m from Nashville and been in Austin for 2 years.I currently work in a small animal clinic as a veterinary assistant. I worked as a kennel tech but I only worked with dogs at the time I have 2 dogs which they are a blue heeler name luna and a border collie name Susie they’re back home in TN with their grandparent, as well the cat is my sister’s but that’s my little nephew Ernie. I always cared for animals since a kid I absolutely love caring them. *****PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING**** Dog parents: if you need me to walk or care for your dog, I do recommend that you let me meet your dog in person just so your dog can be aware and to see if he/she likes me. If it’s last minute, that’s fine but it just depends on your dog’s energy. If they are a leash puller when walking please let me know as well or reactivate to other dogs as well. Last minute booking: I am only available at 6pm (during the week) if you need me to walk your dog or any service that might be needed. As of right now I am not accepting super last minute I need a day in advance not the day of. Cat parents: You don’t necessarily have to do a meet up since cats are mostly chill. If your pet takes medication please let me know if they have to take it with food or if I will have any problems giving them their meds. I AM CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE TO DO DROP INS MID DAY. I AM ONLY AVAILABLE TO CHECK ON YOUR PET IN THE MORNING 7am-9am AND EVENINGS 6:00pm-8:30pm. ANY SERVICES THAT ARE REQUESTED IN THW AFTERNOON WILL BE DECLINED. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PAYMENT OUTSIDE OF ROVER Im pretty quick on replying but 7pm I stopped using my phone. If you happen to send me a message during that time I will most likely reply back to you in the morning between 7am or 10am. IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND WITHIN 12-24 HOURS. SERVICE WILL BE DECLINED. Housesit: Please provide any information the day of the service start. Meaning instructions to get inside. I will mostly likely reach out the day before the service start to make sure the days you requested are correct or need to make last minute adjustments. Pictures will be taken during my stay with them but usually send them the last day. If you would like me to send them daily while I am with your pet please let me know. Please communicate with me and be mindful If you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to answer your questions ☺️ I work as a veterinary assistant full time at a small animal clinic and used to be a kennel tech at a dog boarding place. I love to comfort animals and giving them hugs. I will follow any instructions that are given and will answer any questions that the client has. I will make are that the pet is comfortable being around me because to the pet I am a stranger and isn’t aware on what’s going on.

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have had dogs my entire life. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to dog sit, house sit, and care for both dogs and cats while they're away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I already walk every day, so bringing a pup along is something I truly enjoy! As a postpartum nurse, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing attentive, compassionate care while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work three 12-hour shifts each week, giving me four flexible days for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I already enjoy daily walks, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine and allows me to give them plenty of attention and love. I care for every pet as if they were my own by keeping them on their normal routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their pet is in good hands.

I highly recommend my dog sitter! She did an outstanding job taking care of Triton while I was away. She is always punctual, communicative, and very reliable. Most importantly, she is incredibly sweet, caring, and playful with Triton, which gave me great peace of mind. She followed all of my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Triton’s happiness and well-being. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Triton! I will definitely be using your services again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Jessica is the best. My babies love her . We are at peace and can enjoy our time away knowing Jessica is the one taking care of our babies. She is always a pleasure. We have a shall I say a special needs dog. She takes medication and doesn’t like anyone. But Jessica is calm and understanding towards her and has gotten her to come out of her shell little by little. We could not imagine life without Jessica.

Pond ... WOW! There are many things worth praising about this incredible person and pet care giver. My fur baby, Gracie, is the luckiest dog ever! Gracie has Mom (me) and Gracie has Pond. Pond truly has the heart of an animal care giver, the sharp mind of a vet, and the empath abilities to sense and know what Gracie needed and when. Gracie's tail would wag and she would snuggle right up to Pond. I saw it! Gracie wasn't distracted by Mom; she wanted Pond's attention! Gracie has been aging over the time Pond has been caring for her, and Pond just goes with the flow of that. Pond will miss Gracies' sweet sixteen party because they're moving out of state. SO - if you are lucky enough to have Pond in your neighborhood in Austin, TXwe 2 ladies here in College Park MD will be jealous! I trust Pond with my precious baby girl. Pond stayed in my home or did visits, and even had the occasion to bring Gracie to their place. Hire Pond. They are someone you can truly trust with your most valued four legged family members! I truly wish Pond would be around to continue to love on Gracie until Gracie's final days (almost 16 is getting up there!) because of the way Pond cares for her - both in spurts of her energy and in her needing help sometimes up the steps or just her slowing down on walks. Sensitive. Responsible. Caring. Gentle. Fun. Intelligent and amazing Pond. Hire them!

Melissa is excellent. She stayed in our home with our 3 dogs (2 large and 1 medium size) for a week and a half and it was clear how much they love her with the information she frequently shared with us and the awesome pics of our happy pups. She gave medications twice daily for our elderly guy, and clearly tried hard to make sure the dogs needs were more than just met. And it didn't end with the dogs but she cared for our home the same way. She reached out with questions where appropriate, watered our plants, and even changed our Roomba vacuum bag when it was full. She was so conscientious and easy going. We returned to a home as clean as we left it and really relaxed and happy pooches. We highly recommend Melissa for in-home dog sitting, she exceeded our expectations at every turn.

We had a wonderful experience with Nicole as our house and pet sitter, and we highly recommend her! We have one elderly dog and an oddball kitten, both of whom require lots of attention. Our trip was 10 days long and international, so we were understandably nervous about leaving them. However, after a meet-and-greet with Nicole in our home, we immediately felt confident they would be in great hands and asked her to sit for us on the spot. Nicole put us at ease by asking thoughtful questions—many covering things we had planned to mention, as well as important details we hadn’t even considered. As a person, she clearly loves and understands animals—their needs, behavior, and unique personalities. As a professional, she is thoughtful, responsible, kind, and responsive (even with a 7-hour international time difference!). We received multiple photos and updates each day, and it was clear from our pets’ normal playful behavior that they felt comfortable with her very quickly. We returned home from our long trip to a clean house, happy and healthy pets, and even two houseplants resurrected (by Nicole!). We would definitely book Nicole as a house and pet sitter again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pflugerville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Pflugerville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,452 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pflugerville. 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 Pflugerville 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 Pflugerville 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 Pflugerville 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pflugerville. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
