“Remarkable person and caregiver. The dude immediately gravitated toward Maricella and indicated a sense of security and welcoming. Maricella was punctual, kind, knowledgeable and worked around my schedule to provide assistance in a pinch. Highly recommend!”
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!
“Monica is a wonderful option for house sitting or any dog sitting needs you have. She took time and care to get to know my pup and make sure all three of us were comfortable and the right fit. That in of itself meant more than anything. She is highly recommended!”
“Lilianais is an absolute dream sitter. I cannot recommend her enough. As nervous dog parents, she was incredible. Our two Shih Tzu puppies and our Corgi mix loved her. Our home and our babies were so well taken care of and our experience with Lilanais was fantastic.”
“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.”
“Brian’s was very accommodating of our last-minute request. She came by to meet our dogs prior to her stay. She followed our care instructions and had lots of questions to ensure she was providing the right care for our dogs. We appreciate her caring for our dogs while we were away!”
“Megan was absolutely awesome! My sister and I have labs, which are obviously high maintenance dogs, so we were hesitant in using rover, but MAN are we glad we met Megan! She tended to their every need & loved on them extra for us. She sent daily photos and updates and even did some cleaning up around our house (amazing right?!). I felt so safe and secure with leaving the dogs with her and will absolutely being going back to her when we both have to leave town again. Thanks for being the best, Megan!”
“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!”
“Olivia was a great in home sitter for our 3 babies! She checked in often with pictures, and we came home to a clean home filled with happy, exercised pups! I would highly recommend Olivia and will be rebooking with her in the future. 💛”
About: I used to work at a Dog center that did grooming, boarding, etc. I work at a daycare now but have pet sat numerous times before for family friends. I love all kinds of dogs. :) I currently work full time M-F 8:00am-5:00pm in Salado. I would be available before and after work and on the weekends. I do live with my boyfriend who can help if needed. We live in a duplex here in Salado with our 1 dog, Whiskey. He is a high energy dog who loves to run around and chew up every dog toy he can find.
“I highly recommend Kristen to care for your fur babies! She went above and beyond when she cared for all four of mine, and my house! She is very caring and professional.”
“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.”
“Karla took great care of our dogs and our place. We greatly appreciate her help as we urgently needed care for our furry family members when we had to respond to an emergency out of state. Thank you!”
“I cannot express my gratitude enough for how amazing Alex is. My husband and I had to leave for a family emergency for much longer time then I could ever want. We weren’t able to find a rental house that allowed all of our dogs for the 3 weeks we needed to be gone. Alex stepped in and was beyond a dog-sitter to them. We have never been away from our babies for longer than 1 or 2 nights and were very nervous leaving them. Alex understood our fears, the first few days he sent pictures and updates 3 times a day. Once we realized they were in good hands he sent much more then the 1 time a day picture. He Really kept our minds at ease when we needed it most. I cannot recommend Alex enough. He followed their needs and instructions exactly as noted. We will definitely use him again for any dog sitting needs we have. Our dogs all love him and the attention he gave them. In fact, they really did not care when I came home to relieve him! If you want a dog walker or sitter, Alex is your man!”
About: I'm a kind, active sitter who loves giving dogs a comfortable, home-like stay. As a runner, I can keep high-energy pups exercised and happy, while also providing a calm environment for more relaxed dogs. I have two extraordinary dogs—Kash money, my 4-year-old corgi, and Kiba, my 9-year-old Australian cattle dog—they helped me find my love for animals. I intend to make sure every dog feels cared for, comfortable, and right at home. My routine is built around my dogs, so pet care comes naturally. From morning walks to daily runs and evening wind-down time, I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest. I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment in my home, with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I adjust care based on each dog’s energy level and needs. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent.
“Malayalam was great with our dogs. She was even able to provide one of our dogs with her twice daily injections with no issues. Definitely recommend and definitely will book again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Salado
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salado on Rover is $41.46 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 949 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.

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.
