“Luna and I had the most precious and wonderful experience with Lindsey! We will 10/10 be utilizing her again in the future and anytime I travel. I requested a short notice dog sitter and found Lindsey to be extremely responsive and responsible. We set up a call the day before I was leaving and I was impressed immediately at her attention to detail and clarifying questions. During her stay with Luna, “Miss Lindsey” was extremely communicative and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Luna is very active and Lindsey took care to take Luna on wonderful longer walks and excursions each day. I could easily tell by the pics how comfortable and happy and safe Luna felt with Lindsey. When I returned home, my apartment looked better than when I left it! Luna and I give Lindsey the highest recommendation for your pet sitting/ walking needs. It was truly a fabulous connection and experience 🫶🏼🤍”
“Melissa was amazing with Teddy! He is pretty weary of strangers at first, but she handled him perfectly. She stayed at my apartment for 4 days and when I got back home everything looked exactly the way I left it. I texted her everyday, if not twice a day to check on Teddy and she always promptly responded and provided photos. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Woody was pawsitively the best dog sitter! We received daily updates, pictures and videos of our pack enjoying Woody’s company. We have four senior dogs that require a bit more patience and care now that they are in their golden years, it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Woody and will book again!”
“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!”
“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”
“Brandi did a fabulous job taking care of our pup - she went above and beyond also watching our house - she sent great photos, videos and daily updates. I would absolutely have her take care of my pup anytime!!”
“Emily came to my rescue, very last minute, and took incredible care of both if my babes and my home. Her communication was stellar and kept me updated every step of the way. Thank you again, Emily, for your help and the wonderful experience!”
“Katharine was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute request to care for our pup after another sitter canceled last minute. Easy to communicate with and dependable. Would rebook again!”
“Shameray always does a wonderful job watching our dogs and cat. She is very responsive, friendly, and our critters love her. She sends daily updates with pictures. We have always been very appreciative of the care with which she sits our house and pets.”
About: Hi, pet owners! I love dogs with a passion, but I am unable to care for one 24/7 like any dog deserves. Therefore, I thought dog sitting would be a happy medium. I have dog sat in the past many times for friends and family and have always been happily invited back. I spent two years as a manager of a Doggy daycare as well. I know how important our dogs are to us, so I will make sure to treat your dog as one of my own. I have experience taking care of dogs ranging from toy poodles to mastiffs. I also have been through dog training classes and dog walking classes. Your best friend will be in good hands with me! I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day and work evening and weekends, and my schedule doesn’t require I’m away for longer than 5 hours in most cases. I will treat your dog as one of my own. I will be sure to talk through your typical schedule for them, so everyone will be comfortable!
“Gayle was great! Stayed with my senior dog for several days. Sent regular updates and left my apartment cleaner than it was when I left! She will be a great sitter for your baby!”
“Heather is a wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of my pups while I was away on a day trip out of the area. She came early, played with the pups through the day, and they were calm and happy when I returned home. Amazing to have the peace of mind that they are in good hands while I am away! I highly recommend Heather and would absolutely call on her again in the future!”
“It was as if Noelle wasn’t house sitting for 3 days… she left no trace and my dog was very happy! I will definitely rebook with Noelle. Thanks for keeping my house tidy and my dog happy, Noelle!”
“Can not rave about Alicia enough. She communicated with me the whole time, went out of her way to help me out and really took care of my dogs. Would absolutely book again if she’s willing!”
“Minju kindly filled in for a last minute pet-sitter cancellation. During the week we were gone, she checked in regularly and sent several pictures and photos of our cat. I felt comfortable knowing Simon was getting plenty of attention and love while we were away.”
About: Hi, I'm austin-native Amanda! I've had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Bug, since he was a puppy. He's now 8 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life from energetic puppy days to establishing routines and adapting to changing needs as they get older. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys playing, exploring on walks, or simply relaxing, I'm happy to tailor their care to what makes them happiest. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, shaded fenced dog park at my apartment for safe outdoor time, and during the Texas summer I plan activities around the heat with shorter walks, shade, water breaks, and indoor play when needed. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about Bug. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, dependable hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My own dog, Bug, keeps me on a consistent routine, and I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I'm available for daytime care, walks, drop-in visits, and can often accommodate evenings and weekends with advance notice. I have a secure, fenced dog park at my apartment with plenty of shade, so dogs have a safe place to go outside without spending too much time on hot pavement during the Texas summer. There's also plenty of space and toys to play with in my nice airconditioned apartment. :) I know every dog has different routines and needs, so I'm happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, or any other care preferences. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dog, Bug.
“Monica is a god-send. She walked, played with and took excellent care of our senior dog. She went above and beyond in house sitting and caring for our dog. We have already scheduled her again. Thanks Monica!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rollingwood
Christine took such great care of my dogs while I was at a work conference. She kept me up to date and sent lots of photos! She also made them really cute bandanas! This was my first time using a sitter and I’m really pleased with how everything went and Christine has been so lovely.
Melissa was an excellent caretaker for our cats while we were away and we will absolutely be using her for her services next time we go out of town. She was communicative, reliable, and went above and beyond to care for our cats as well as our home which was so appreciated.
This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Malery. She was very communicative and took extremely great care of Gilly. Any worries I had were quickly washed away due to Malery’s professionalism and initiative. If I am out of town again, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Malery again!
Marley was such a blessing! I just moved to Austin and I haven’t felt safe enough to let anyone watch my dog, but she made me feel so ease. I felt totally comfortable with her in my home and she left the place in perfect condition. I will 100% be using her again when I go out of town. Thank you Marley!
Katherine is a wonderful Petsitter! Our dog Sandie loved the long walks, play time in backyard, and snuggles on the couch. Katherine also took great care of our senior cat Prissy, including taking Prissy to an important vet appointment. We felt like we could relax on vacation because our girls were in great hands with Kat. Kat is mature, conscientious, and responsible. She’s also so gentle and loving with pets. Plus, our house looked even better than we left it! I would highly recommend Kat, and I hope to book with her again!
We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Cody received! Our senior dog requires a little extra attention with daily medications, and Rasika handled everything beautifully. She was incredibly responsible, responsive, and communicative, keeping us updated throughout her overnight stay. It’s such a comfort knowing Cody is in loving, capable hands and our home is well cared for. We completely trust her and will absolutely be calling her again. Highly recommend!
Thanks Iva for taking care of Poe and keeping us informed! The house was clean and Poe was very happy on our return. You always are responsible and easy to communicate with while we are out of town and we appreciate you. We will definitely use you again for our travels
Kiersten was exceptional! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Lennon, while housesitting. Her communication was great and I received multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. Lennon got exercise, stimulation, and lots of attention. I came home to a happy pup and it was clear he had been well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Kiersten and hire her again!
Noa watched our 11-week-old Ridgeback puppy for a full overnight and was honestly amazing! Puppies are a lot, and she handled it all like a pro. We came home to a happy, chill puppy and two cats who didn't seem bothered at all, which is a win in our house. Super easy to communicate with, and it was such a relief to leave him with someone we trusted. Any pup would be lucky to have her!!
Heather was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter for our two pups!! She kept us updated with photos and notes about how the stay was going, respected our space, and even left our house cleaner than when we left for our trip. I HIGHLY recommend Heather for any pet sitting or house sitting needs!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rollingwood is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $107 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,689 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rollingwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
