“Davida was wonderful with Daizy and Lenni! She was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to two very calm, happy, and content pups, and it was obvious they had been well loved and cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with our babies and our home. We would absolutely book with Davida again!”
“Carmen was excellent. So friendly and communicative, I knew my dog and cat were in such great hands. Would definitely recommend Carmen to take good care of your pets!”
“When we booked with Arturo, it was our families first time using Rover so naturally we were very nervous. Arturo immediately put our worries to rest. He was quick to respond, polite, professional, and showed our puppy the same love we would! As a veteran and first responder, I can wholeheartedly recommend Arturo and say that we will be booking him again!”
“Benita did a wonderful job and I could tell our pets loved her. They were even more spoiled than usual! Benita was very communicative and sent pictures daily. We will definitely have Benita again!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats most of my life. My parents always had pets and I would walk them, feed them, groom them, and love them. I also have a small Papillon dog. I love animals, there is something so calming about spending time with a fur friend and I would be happy to care for yours when you need. I will take them on long walks, take them to the vet if needed, and I also bath them if you need me to as long as they allow me safely. I live in a great neighborhood to take them on walks in Austin. I work 8 - 5 M to F in office. I can stay in your home and care for them in between coming and going to work. I would need to be able to stay in your home and care for them as my place does not allow extra dogs. I have a car so I can get to and from easiler
“Averie REALLY understands dogs and what they need when their owner is gone. She really put her heart into taking care of my dog. I would definitely recommend her for taking good care for your dog. I will be asking for her help again.”
“Anne was great with our pup Alex and our 2 cats! Very attentive and considerate. Updated us with photos through out our vacation/honeymoon. Left us a card and thoughtful gift congratulating us on our wedding which was very nice to return to. Would highly recommend her house sitting and watching our pup again!”
“Chantell is awesome! She messaged us often with updates and took great care of our pup. We could totally relax knowing he was in great care. We will definitely book again with her for our next trip.”
“Annabelle was just fantastic! She took exceptional care of my dog and three kitties. She is absolutely great. Extremely reliable, she kept me updated regularly and sent pics while I was away. She also took better care of my home than I ever could too. Thanks so much for everything Annabelle! You rock! To anyone looking for a great sitter, look no further. She’s the best of the best. Book with to confidence. You won’t go wrong with Annabelle!”
“Had a same day request and Kenna was there in a pinch! Total lifesaver... She was excellent with my dog and super super polite. 10 out of 10 will totally book with again!”
“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”
About: Hi! I’m Xarissa Alexsondra (legal name Corissa)—please call me Alexsondra. I specialize in cats and also welcome calm, low-energy dogs who only need short potty walks, plus small pets like snakes or fish. I’m available for long-term stays of three weeks or longer only (shorter gigs aren’t a fit). As a person on the autistic spectrum, I feel most at ease with cats and quiet, predictable pets. I’m naturally attuned to body language and individual quirks, and I stay calm and consistent with the routines many cats and introverted dogs prefer. I may seem a bit reserved with new people at first—please be patient. Your pets will get my full, focused attention. I grew up with multiple dogs and cats and have experience with fish, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs, chickens, quail, and ducks. I’m comfortable with cage cleaning, daily feline and canine routines, and the small details that keep animals comfortable. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you’ll always know how your pets are doing. I’m reliable, observant, and happiest in the company of cats, calm dogs, and the occasional snake. I’m a homebody with a part-time job that takes me out of the house for 5–8 hours on just one or two days a week. The rest of the week I’m home all day with the cats, or I may step out for a short excursion and then return for the remainder of the day. This rhythm lets me provide calm, consistent care and stick to the quiet routines most cats prefer. I only accept long-term stays of three weeks or longer. I understand the trust it takes to leave your home and pets with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. You’ll receive detailed photo updates so you always know how everyone is doing. I care for cats in the client’s home only (I do not board pets in my own space). One of the strengths of being autistic is that I follow clear, straightforward instructions with high precision and consistency. Tell me exactly how you want feeding, litter, medication, play, and any other routines handled, and I will stick to them closely. I’m naturally attuned to feline body language and stay calm and steady, which many cats prefer. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and focused on keeping your cats comfortable and secure.
“Geoff did an amazing job taking care of both of our pit bull mix dogs. He was able to get them to like him and trust in him within minutes and gives multiple updates daily. Our dogs love him! We will definitely choose Geoff again!”
“Jess took very good care of Bonnie. Bonnie had fun with her. Medicine and food was given timely. Jess also worked with us when our flight was delayed. We are thankful for her professional service.”
“Valda was able to help me out very last minute when I needed someone to check on my pups. She sent cute photos and followed instructions. Very grateful for her!”

Victoria took care of Lily while we were away in Toronto and did an amazing job. She kept up with Lily's routine closely, and sent us regular updates and photos so we always knew Lily was safe and happy. This is the third time she's cared for Lily and she keeps proving why she's our go to sitter. Highly recommend.
Melissa was one of the best house and pet sitters we've ever had! We met Melissa ahead of the sit to introduce her to Luna and our home, and we immediately felt she was a great fit. She took excellent care of our home and Luna. We came back home to such a happy dog and a spotless house. Our home was exactly as we left it and we could tell Luna was well taken care for with plenty of love. Melissa has a heart of gold and we would highly recommend her. She communicates great, provides updates, and follows care instructions. She's truly one of the best and brings such peace of mind while away. We look forward to having her sit for us again soon!
I really enjoyed having Brittany as a house sitter. She had a wonderful rapport with my dog, and did a great job following instructions and providing feedback. We were in regular communication the entire time I was out of town. I would definitely rebook with Brittany the next time I go on vacation!
This is our second time booking with Kevin and Nhu. This time around it was a two week stay and we couldn't be more pleased with their services. They were extremely communicative and responsive. And took excellent care of our Boxer and home. We will definitely be using them again if we have the opportunity!!
Kaitlan was absolutely amazing! She sent us photos and checked in every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We had never used a dog sitter before, and she made it such a wonderful first experience. She also left our house absolutely spotless, which we appreciated so much. We truly couldn’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our home and our pups. Highly recommend!
Chantell was amazing. Our two boys love her. She consistently updated us on how things were at home and with Oak and WInnie, as well as took amazing photos and videos on a multi-times a day basis. We always looked forward to seeing how they were and got lots of pictures of them playing and cuddling and relaxing. Chantell communicated thoroughly about her schedule so we never worried about a thing and our house was left in spotless condition.We know they received the best possible care and I cannot recommend Chantell highly enough.
Elisa did a wonderful job watching our 2 dogs who can take some time to warm up to strangers. She was very kind and patient with them. She kept our house organized and communicated well with us so we felt confident with her care while we were out of town. Will definitely have Elisa again!
Leah & Tyler were awesome with both our puppy and house. When we got home, our Sophie was happier than she has ever been with others staying at house. They truly engaged with our pup and showed her so much love. Our dog has separation anxiety, and I can't think of any better people to stay with her. We are so happy to have found the right folks for our Sophie!
Kacie was wonderful! The dogs clearly had a great time with her, she sent regular updates and photos, and when I had a sudden Chan grew in plans which kept me away for an additional 2 days, she was flexible and so accommodating. I so appreciate her care and the extra time she spent with my pups!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
