“Geoffrey is hands down the best sitter we’ve ever used. He took wonderful care of our circus of animals over the holiday and was phenomenal. We received updates and photos to keep us in the loop on how everything was going, we didn’t worry once. Seriously, don’t debate and just book - he’s the one! ❤️”

Will be booking again with you in the future!”

If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only competent and trustworthy but also genuinely passionate about dogs, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason.

She also let us know right away when our senior dog wasn’t feeling like herself and kept us informed on how she was doing. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies!”
“Anthony was very attentive with my dog. I can tell he really enjoys our furry angels. Came home to a clean house and the guest room bed sheets washed and remade. Easy to work with. Responded quickly to all questions and requests. Will definitely have him sit with my best boy again soon.”
About: Responsibility, patience, and affection. It's about ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of animals. My dogs and I are happy to care for them. D The same routine as my dogs, going out for a walk in the morning, arriving home to eat, rest, give them treats, and in the afternoon another outing to the park I take care of them as if they were my own with the same love, care and affection that I have for my dogs.

Rebecca was fantastic!! She watched our dogs for us over our wedding weekend and I did not have to worry about them once! She was great with updates and pictures and it was comforting knowing they were in such good hands. She even stripped her guest bed after her stay which was not necessary at all but so thoughtful! We will definitely be hiring her in the future.
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.
Katie was great! We booked her for a 2-week trip when our usual sitter was unavailable and she was amazing. Our dog is very shy/anxious and she was immediately comfortable around Katie. Our cat requires daily eye drops and medication and Katie administered them both with no issues. She also left our home in great condition and left me a ton of notes about everything she had done. We were so grateful to come home to a clean home and happy pets. Would absolutely book her again!
I’m so excited to have found Briana on my first attempt at booking Rover since moving here! I had zero worries or concerns while gone, which was such a relief. She sent consistent photos of our dogs and cat and was easy to reach. I will continue having her watch our animals! 🥰
Hillary was absolutely amazing with our pup! Kevin can have some anxiety, especially if his routines change a lot. Hillary kept him on schedule, followed all of our asks and needs for him, sent a ton of updates and pictures, and even cleaned the house before she left! Highly recommend!
Deevie is quite truly the best sitter I’ve ever had! She is SO communicative, sends the cutest photos and videos and left my house spotless. I am incredibly grateful for her and the immaculate care she showed my cats and house. I absolutely recommend her and will look forward to having her sit again in the future! ❤️
Maggie stayed with my 2 dogs at my house for a week while I traveled to Tokyo for a business trip. I have a hard time leaving them and I honestly didnt worry the entire trip and I was able to focus on work because I had full trust in her! She would send daily recaps at the end of every day with photos and videos, and I can tell my dogs love her. She left the house super clean when I returned and left some homemade treats for the dogs. <3 I could tell they miss her because they were waiting by the door all day! Thank you Maggie for taking amazing care of my children!!
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.
Nicole was wonderful with our dog, Sora! She was kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout her stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Sora and treated her like her own. She was also very respectful of our home and made the entire experience stress-free. We truly appreciated all of her help and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend Nicole!
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!

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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock 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.
