“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“Ras is awesome to work with! She is responsive and flexible. It was clear during our meet and greet and her messages while spending time with my pups that she has experience in working with all types of dogs and I feel confident in her ability to take great care of them. I look forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Melissa was amazing! Not only did my dog, Ellie, have a blast with her, but she was happy and healthy when I returned. she was also very great with her communication with me and left my house in great shape.”
“Cortney is an angel! She took the best care of our little girls and home while we were on vacation. She took our pups on adventures and gave us lots of updates with pictures/videos. Would highly recommend Cortney to anyone that needs a gem of a human to look after your fur babies. ❤️❤️”
“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”
About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.
“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”
“Melondy was extremely communicative and thoughtful during her stay with Layla. She made sure she came over right on time, sent me regular updates on how Layla was doing and followed the pet care instructions to the letter. Additionally she was respectful of our space and left the house spotless! I would absolutely book again!”
“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”
“Magdalena went up and beyond. I was nervous leaving my dog. Magdalena eased my mind at the meet and greet. She sent pics and cute texts every day. She cleaned the house, which wasn't expected, yet appreciated. When I came home my dog didn't care I was there. She's probably wondering where Magdalena was. I will definitely be using her again.”
“I can’t recommend Marissa enough! She took incredible care of my two cats and my home while I was away. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my girls were happy, loved, and well cared for. When I got home, my house was spotless and exactly as I had left it. It’s clear she is dependable, respectful, and truly cares about both the pets and the homes she’s entrusted with!”
“Jeffrey did a great job with my dog. She was content when I got home & not overly clingy, which tells me she felt safe in his care & got plenty of attention. 10/10 would book again.”
“Paige is great with Astro! He got all the love, attention, and exercise he wanted and needed. Paige is very responsive, responsible and gave lots of updates and pictures daily. It’s such a relief to have found such a great sitter for Astro!”
“Mary is awesome! She's very communicative and gives our dogs the extra attention they need while we're away. She's very reliable and really came through when my travel plans home were cancelled unexpectedly and she was able to extend her stay for an extra day.”
“Amelia did a great job at watching our puppy Winnie and kept us up to date and sent photos! She left our place just as we left it and was very friendly. Would recommend booking with her :)”

Michelle was fantastic! She took excellent care of our home and animals during our long weekend away. We appreciated her regular updates and the photos she sent us, which made us feel comfy when leaving our furry friends home while we were away! I would definitely recommend Michelle's pet sitting!

We truly can't say enough wonderful things about our Kim. She stays in our home and takes such loving care of our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels—they're always so happy, relaxed, and clearly adored when we get home. She also treats our home with the same care and respect, and we always return to everything just as we left it. Knowing our dogs and home are in such caring, trustworthy hands gives us complete peace of mind every time we travel. We appreciate her more than words can say and feel so lucky to have found her. We recommend her without hesitation!
We had such a wonderful experience and couldn’t recommend her more highly! She took amazing care of our dogs and truly went above and beyond during her stay. We came home to happy pups and a clean home! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. We will absolutely book with her again!!
Bella is the best! She stayed with our pup, Marlo, for an extended weekend over the 4th and he had THE best time! Not only is she quick to respond, but she goes above and beyond by getting your pup out and about on trails, parks, and numerous walks. Marlo can be a bit skittish at times, but is filled with energy- taking him in public can be a bit nerve wracking, but Bella was able to help him get out of his shell to enjoy these new adventures. While she was here, she kept up with Marlo’s puppy training skills, loved on him lots, and bonus- left our home spotless. We couldn’t be more grateful and will absolutely be rebooking!
Ludo looked after our sheepdog & cat for a week stay and did an excellent job. He was great with the animals, gave them plenty of attention and they were clearly happy & provided lots of updates. Ludo was a great house guest, he left the house very tidy & was very helpful doing additional things like watering & taking the trash bins out. I thoroughly recommend him & looking forward to booking him again in the future! Thank you :)
Our dog and cat were in great hands with Baxter! She was communicative throughout the sit with updates and photos. It’s so important to know your animals are safe and happy, and Baxter provided all of that. Our house was in great shape when we got back as well. Highly recommend!
Marley was wonderful with our two dogs! She was able to accommodate a 4th of July stay on fairly short notice, which we really appreciated. One of our dogs gets extremely anxious with fireworks, and Marley took such great care of her by making sure she got her medication, along with plenty of love, attention, and comfort. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such caring hands while we were away. We’d absolutely book with Marley again and highly recommend her!
We are just relocating to Austin and I had a short timeline to find a Petsitter for my 2 pups before we left on a 10 day trip overseas. They normally travel with us, as I never like to leave them behind and I was anxious about the timing of everything -the new surroundings, finding someone that they would feel comfortable with on such short notice, etc. I reached out to Ari and she came over to meet the pups and it was clear that she not only loves animals but she understands them. She can see the dynamics, read their personalities, she can understand their communication -the subtle cues that point to their stress level, curiosity, playfulness or discomfort and she knows how to approach in different situations. She was not at all deterred by their quirks (or my anxiety and the long list of background + detailed instructions)! I immediately booked with her and was feeling better about making trip persuasions, but 5 days before I left, both of the pups were ill (a reaction to medication), I had taken them to the vet (also new) and my anxiety over leaving them was very high. Ari and I continued to communicate about their recovery protocols and she was calm + confident that she could handle things in my absence and the pups would be fine. It’s not easy to jump onto a moving train and quickly get your bearings, assess the situation and fill in the voids but she did that beautifully. She went above and beyond giving them their medications, monitoring their eating + hydration and of course keeping me updated on everything. Within a few days I could see that they were steadily recovering under her care and she was gently winning them over. I could see from the pictures that the fear or stress in their eyes had turned to excitement as they bonded with her and trusted her. It’s never easy to leave them, but finding someone like Ari who is so caring and nurturing made it possible. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is as reluctant as I am to leave your precious ones alone as they will be provided nurturing, loving care. I never thought it was possible but my pups have a new friend that they would be excited to see anytime she walks through the door and that’s the highest level of compliment!
I cannot say enough good things about Regan. She treated our house as well as we do while she stayed for two weeks. The cats love her. She even figured out different ways to coax one of the kitties to eat more. The cats were totally unimpressed when we got home. I am not sure they missed us much. I think that says it all.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rollingwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rollingwood on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,683 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rollingwood. 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 Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood 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.

- 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.
