“Jaydin was absolutely amazing, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. Most importantly, my dogs loved her, and that says a lot because they are not always the easiest with new people. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated, and followed all of our instructions and house routines perfectly, which meant so much to me. Knowing my babies were comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I was away gave me real peace of mind. I would trust her again in a heartbeat to stay in my home and care for my dogs. There honestly aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am. Thank you for everything, Jaydin!”
“My pets love when Karen comes to stay! They get so much care and attention that I'm not sure they have time to miss us. I always come home to a clean house and happy pets. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've had pet babies in my life as long as I can remember! Everything from a snake, hamsters, lizards, fish, mice, birds, bunnies, chickens, pigeons, geese, dogs and cats. I currently have a rescue mix breed dog named Pumpkin Honeybuns Stephens and she's the boss in our home of 4. Between my husband, 2 teenage boys and myself, she's got all of us well trained. Let me give you peace of mind while you're away from your pet! I'm a stay at home mom of 2 self sufficient teenage boys, who is looking for something to do between practices and games. Extra cash would be nice too! Our dog enjoys sunning, but in this Texas heat, her sunning sessions are short and sweet but plentiful throughout the day. I'm happy to let her in and out 100 times a day so that she can live her best life!
“Kimmie was great!! Kept us updated with daily status and photos. Would definitely recommend if you want peace of mind that your pet will be left in great hands while you are away.”
“Monica was wonderful with our pups. She showed them tons of attentions and play time and gave us daily updates and pictures. It gave us such peace of mind to know they were being so well taken care of.”
“Ariel did well with our two fur babies. She was wonderful with them and she took care of our home. I would definitely recommend her and hope she is available in the future when we travel out of town.”
“David is an exceptional pet sitter! One of our little dogs suffers from anxiety and is on medication. We've never left her before and were very nervous about going away for a few days. We needn't have been! All the dogs loved him, and it is obvious that he loves dogs. He is sincere, conscientious and communicative, and we will definitely be using him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Caitlin was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and house! She was the right level of communicative and sent us great pictures of the dogs. She also went above and beyond with grooming help for one dog that had a stomach issue. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through being a pet parent myself. I currently have two dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, routines, and energy levels. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has been a huge part of my everyday life for years. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and other care with plenty of flexibility, including weekdays and weekends! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets! I’ll always follow their normal routine as closely as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime, medications, and all the little things that make them feel at home. I’m very attentive to safety, will keep you updated, and will treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Mica spent the day with my pup while I had to be outta town for work. He's a rescue with high separation anxiety and her presence while I was absent kept him calm and happy. She sent pictures through out the day and was respectful of my home.”
About: I’m a dependable animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and basic care routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets because I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide a calm, reliable environment where pets get plenty of attention, activity, and love. I have plenty of time to care and love your dog. I treat every animal as if it was my own. My home is also spacious and I have a large fenced in back yard with a back porch. Your dog will get all the love and cuddles while you’re away and be in great hands! I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room. I also live in a reasonably sized home and have two young children that will love and play with them. They will be able to hangout and sleep with me or on a dog bed! 😊
About: Welcome to your baby’s home away from home 🫶🏼 I work remote, and can tend to your babies 24/7. My home is quiet, cozy, and safe. Pets will be guaranteed cuddles, walks, play time, and/or whatever else you need. 😊 I’m an animal lover through and through, and have taken care of countless pets—from dogs and cats, to horses and livestock (which I owned and cared for over 17 years). 🐎 I am experienced in medication administration, behavioral management, and animal de-escalation in case of emergencies. My nearest vet is also just 5 minutes away. 💗 I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They are sweet and enjoy friends but can surely be separated if your pet(s) need their own space. Thank you for considering, and I hope to meet your babies soon! I work full time remote, with highly flexible hours. I am able to tend to your baby 24/7 if needed, without distractions or other obligations. When I do leave, it’s typically just for short bursts of time. I have a 1200 sq ft duplex with an unfenced yard. I take multiple walks each day and would be happy to bring your pets with me. My home is equipped with dog and cat toys/supplies. My local vet is 5 minutes away in case of emergencies. My home stays quiet, calm, and cozy. I’ve seen pets of all kinds fit right in here. I do have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They love other animals and friends, but I can separate them or crate your pet if needed. I’m comfortable administering medication, hand/bottle feeding, and even injections. Happy to accommodate your animal in any way they need.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t live without them. My specialty is caring for senior (7+yrs old) dogs but I love all ages. I’m currently retired and very flexible with scheduling. I have volunteered regularly at a senior dog sanctuary for 5 years to onboard and train new volunteers in the care and comfort of its 4-legged residents. I have a fenced yard and only one small dog friendly Yorkie in residence. I used to work for a Christian ministry so very trustworthy.
About: I have 10+ years of pet care through my own animals and close family and friends. I have cared for cats, dogs, mice, lizards, hermit crabs, fish the list goes on! Let me help take some stress off your hands by caring for your pet I work full time but I am happy to do early mornings, nights and days off. Let’s chat and I can work you into the schedule as best I can! I currently have three cats at home, I am open to working with multiple animals at once. I’m very patient as well so I will have your animals best interest in mind.
“Kristen was so good with our rescue pup Daisy! She made sure Daisy was taken care of, kept us updated, and even bought her some Christmas toys. She is personable, hardworking, and trustworthy. We will def be using her as our sitter again :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salado on Rover is $41.46 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 944 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salado. 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 Salado 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 Salado 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 Salado 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
