“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.”
“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 AMAZING! She went above and beyond while taking care of our sweet boys and the house. We had a family emergency that meant leaving town last minute and it was such a weight off our shoulders knowing that our dogs were being cared for!! HIGHLY recommend booking with Megan- Thank you again!! ❤️”
“We had a great experience with Maricella watching our dogs. She was extremely communicative throughout the entire time, keeping us updated regularly and giving us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.”
“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!”
About: Since I was a young girl, I have always been fascinated by animals—particularly dogs. I begged my parents to get me my first pet—Jasper, a rescued Labrador retriever—at age 7. Taking care of Jasper was my main focus as well the odd assortment of fish and hamsters we had. When Jasper passed, and I graduated high school, my next door neighbor had a litter of golden retriever puppies. I was ready to have another animal, and that’s when Kensie came into my life. Kensie was my soul dog, and she passed away two years ago. We did everything together—going to dog parks around town, Zilker park, and even red bud (before the algae), and going to dog-friendly establishments in Austin. She was my best friend. Unfortunately, her last few months on earth were extremely challenging. I was up with her three to four times a night (sometimes more), administering multiple medications, and helping her stand/walk. When the time came to say goodbye, I could barely make the decision to let her go. I miss her so much, but because of my current living situation, don’t have the opportunity to get another dog. That’s where Rover comes in. I love animals, and am extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of someone’s pet. This will give me my ‘fix’ and also be a productive side hustle for me. It will be an honor to walk//watch your pet. I will give the very care and concern I gave my own pets. Not only have I had my own pets, but I have experience with a variety of breeds—including catahoulas and boxers. As mentioned above, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and administering medication. I’m currently in a transition phase in my life, and am looking for something productive and rewarding. I have pretty much limitless availability to cater to whatever your dog may need. At the moment, I can’t accept any dogs into my home, but if given the opportunity to stay at a client’s house, I would follow all instructions given while simultaneously respecting the space and showering your dog with love and attention.
About: I have owned 3 dogs over the past 20 years. I have watched, walked, and cared for the dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and reptiles. I have trained my own pets and I’m very comfortable meeting new animals. I’m a part-time remotely working licensed realtor so I’ve been fingerprinted and FBI background checked for your safety and peace of mind. I’m currently working part-time from home, mostly on my computer so I have plenty of time to play, walk, and care for your pets. I will carefully adhere to your pets’ schedule, routine, and instructions to make sure your pet has a safe and happy experience in my care.
About: I have been responsible for caring for pets from a young age through my own animals, which helped me develop a strong love and understanding for pets of all kinds. For the past three years, I have also provided pet care services for many wonderful families in my community. I am experienced with daily care routines such as feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of attention. I am also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once! I’ll always strive to make your pets feel safe and loved while you are away. I am currently home from school for the summer, so I have open availability throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending time with animals and I have plenty of time to stay or stop by for visits, walks, feeding, or whatever else your fur babies may need while you’re away! While caring for pets in their home, I try to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable awhile their owners are away. I can follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific care needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention as they like. In addition to caring for your pets, I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I will keep it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I want to ensure your peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Bella was great! She knew how to interact with my cats when she came for a meet and greet and asked great questions. My girls were well cared for and I returned home to happy girls and the house exactly as I expected! Would definitely book with Bella again :)”
About: State pet adoption CEO hired me! Many years of experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, sugar gliders, and other pets. Reliable. Integrity matters! Fostering experience. #pickme Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply providing comfort and care, I make pets a priority and enjoy incorporating their needs into my everyday activities. The only time I’m not available os Sunday mornings (church-my husband’s a minister). I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I provide lots of attention and companionship and do my best to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
“Kellie did an amazing job with our aging pup Jordyn and our goldfish Lared! She was excellent at communication and did an amazing job! We couldn’t be more happy with our choice, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Grace house/pet sat at our home for two weeks and we were very pleased on arrival back home. The two dogs were well cared for as was our home. Everything was spotless and all instructions appear to have been carried out to the letter. A+++ experience overall. Thanks Grace!”
“Kailiany was great! She asked me about thing when she had questions, which I love, she sent pictures of our dog, she had good communication through out her whole 7 day stay at our house. She's really good, book her! She gave me peace of mind.”
About: I was raised with 6 dogs and 5 cats. I have been house and pet sitting for many years. I am very good with animals! I am a college student home for the summer and am currently only taking online classes so my hours and schedule is very flexible to what you need I have a fenced front and back yard with a pool! I have four dogs and a cat at home that live in the main house. Animals brought here will stay in a separate part of the property with me.
“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.”
About: I grew up in an animal shelter. Sounds crazy right? Well, it's true. My mom has always worked around animals(and still does) so I was always right by her side. Whether it be at animal shelters, helping with adoptions, walking, feeding, giving medications. Anything to be involved ! Then she became a Veterinarian. So of course, when I got old enough, I worked at her clinic. I've truely worked with animals my whole life and have always had animals of my own. I am currently working as an Animal Rescue Coordinator each day but would love to further my pet care business . My fur babies are my children and I treat them as so. You will always be able to find comfort knowing that I will treat your fur babies with the same love and care as my own! My favorite thing to do is spend time with my 3 dogs. A few things we love doing are going to the dog park, playing fetch, frisbee, going to the lake to swim, agility, hiking, and of course getting frozen yogurt! I would be more than happy to spend time with your pup doing these things. I'm sure they deserve it! I can't wait to spoil your pup and put your mind at ease knowing he/she is loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Your fur babies deserve the best! I currently work full time in VetMed but I have Fri-Sun off. This is when I’ll offer pet services. I’m hoping to offer full time care eventually. I care for pets in my home as if they were my own. They are allowed on furniture/beds if the owner is okay with this. I have doggy gates for separation of other animals if needed. Pets are never left unattended in my home. If I must leave for any reason, your pet must be kenneled in my home.
About: I have worked with all kinds of pets over the years! I can administer medicine. I’m able to work with more aggressive breeds. I can even take your pup to our amazing dog park and ensure they have a great time. I work part time from home now, so I have a very open schedule! Mornings and overnights are definitely preferred from me, but I can always be flexible! I allow doggies on our furniture. I have space for crates if your dog likes to sleep in a crate at night. There’s no other dogs in my home, so they will receive full attention from me.
“Oh my goodness!! There are no words to describe how pleased we are with Alexandra. She is by far the best care taker for our dogs and our home. We are so over the top dog owners and she totally respects the love we have for our pets. She followed all our directions to a T. We tell how happy our dogs were by the photos she sent. Olive was rolling around in the grass so happy. And, Cassie was bossing her around as usual. We highly recommend Alex for exceptional care and the love most of all. Its not just a job for her she truly loves animals 💕. Worth every penny!!”
“Brittany was able to come last minute to watch my dog while I was out of town for the day. She was very patient and understanding of my old boy and did everything that I asked.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Schwertner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Schwertner on Rover is $42.8 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 1,677 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Schwertner. 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 Schwertner 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 Schwertner 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 Schwertner 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.
