“Sarah was punctual, communicative, and so sweet with my dog. I appreciated her short turnaround response and hope to use her again soon for my frequent work trips. Highly recommended! Thank you!”
“Beau and Gucci like Dora and seem comfortable when she arrives. She is relaxed and calm with both dogs, and they instinctively respond to that. She arrived on time Saturday morning, but left earlier than scheduled on Sunday (when she discovered her car wouldn't start after attending her morning church service). We recommend Dora for pet and house sitting.”
“Terry is fantastic! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away, giving us the confidence we needed for our first experience with a sitter. Fredrick can be a bit anxious but when we got home it was clear she took great care of him and had made a friend.”
“Samuel was great with my animals and communicated how everything was going. Left the house very clean and very professional. I will use him again.. my animals loved having him there.”
“I am so happy and pleased with Margaret! She sent me lots of photos and check ins which I absolutely loved. I felt that was my dog was in great hands the entire time. I am so glad I found Meg! She's a dog angel!”
“Avrielle was a wonderful pet sitter. She watched our 2 dogs and 3 cats while we were on vacation. She sent pictures every day and was very attentive to our animal's needs. She kept us informed of daily activities and feedings. All of our animals enjoyed being around her. I will not hesitate to hire her again the next time we go on vacation! Thank you again Avrielle you are AWESOME!”
“Alex was great! The dogs were certainly well taken care of and he was great at providing updates throughout. The house was clean when we came back as well and all asks completely followed. Thanks!”
“Rebekah was wonderful with our two high-maintenance yorkie mixes while we traveled for two weeks. She kept them happy and fed and kept us up to date on everything. She took photos and videos and helped us feel assured that they were doing well. We came home to happy pups and a very clean home, which was extra appreciated. Thank you Rebekah for your wonderful patience and care with our pups and our home!”
“Norma was absolutely great! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated. Roxy was super happy and clearly very well cared for! 🐶❤️ Norma also took great care of my house and left everything in wonderful shape. I felt completely comfortable knowing Roxy and my home were in good hands. I will definitely use Norma again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity of taking care of my friends and families pets whom I know they cherish deeply for. As do I with my own dog, she’s my baby! Just as I’d want the absolute best care for her, I want to be able to provide that to other pet owners as well. I do have experience in giving medication such as pills. I am very willing to learn any medicine routines or any specific routines in general! I am working part time currently as a server so I have lots of extra time that I’d love to contribute to your pups! My schedule is super flexible however it doesn’t always stay the same. If this occurs updates to the owner will be made. I do go to school but am part time as well so it’s only one day out of the week. I will not be house sitting any pups at my house because I do have 3 dogs, one of which is still in training. However I am open to doing drop ins, walks, and sitting at the clients home! I would follow any requests made for the pet and home. I personally own a xl breed so I have to be mindful when it comes to giving water and food before exercise to decrease risk of GDV. So I follow any rules provided and love them because my dog needs them as well!
“Denise went above and beyond for us! We had a family emergency and she was able to change our booking to arrive a day early to help us. Both the dog and the house were in great shape when we returned!”
“Declan is an exceptional dog sitter! Very communicative and kept on dogs on their usual schedule. They were well taken care of, walked, and happy! We will happily keep booking Declan in the future!”
About: I begged my parents for a dog since I could talk. When they finally allowed me to adopt one when I was 10, she instantly became the love of my life. Two years ago, I adopted my first puppy in my adult life. He has taught me so much as a pet owner. I love meeting new dogs because every one has an unique and special personality. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs alike and cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I currently work as a swim coach and have pretty flexible hours during the morning , mid day, and early afternoon. My nights are completely free. I love going on long walks and exploring new areas. I guarantee your pup will get a great workout and come back exhausted from our adventures. Along with this, I maintain an attentive attitude within the house and am always giving my pups attention even when completing other tasks. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war!!
About: I grew up taking care of two Labrador retrievers, multiple cats, and a Guinea pig. I have experience house sitting for dogs and cats, house visits, and dog walking. Let me take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible and open schedule. I give my cat daily care, and I am available to care for your pets too. I am based in San Antonio. When I am house sitting, I make sure that fresh food and water is available, that the food dishes are clean, that fresh air is available, and their living space is kept clean from 💩
“Jenn did a great job. She walked Cooper everyday and played with him a lot while she stayed at my home. This was the first time I had left him here while I traveled (13 days) and I felt very safe with her. She communicated daily including pictures.”
About: I am a huge animal lover. Dogs especially hold a special place in my heart. I have two parakeets named Poppas and Echo. They will be caged when I'm boarding dogs. Im experienced in handling small dogs, as well as bigger dogs like pit bulls. I live in complex that has a dog park for your fur baby. I love bonding and learning about animals. I take direction very well. Let me know all of your pets favorite activities. I am excited to walk and bond with your friendly pet. See you soon! I'm not working at the moment, so I'm home all day. Your animal will get all the attention they need, plus more. I love cuddle dogs. I'm not here to change anything. I will follow your regular routine. Whats on the schedule we'll do. My house is pet friendly. Your fur baby will get all
“Grace is awesome!! 10/10 recommend for any or all of your furbaby’s needs. This was her first time house sitting at my house watching my dog Lincoln for 3 days, 2 nights. Our initial meet n greet went great! Quick response time. She’s super personable and instantly bonded with Lincoln, almost like she’s a dog whisperer! I totally trusted Lincoln and my house with her while I was gone. She gave regular updates with pics and videos of him on many walks and playtime at the park with his buds. When I returned home, my house was just as clean as I left it, I was super impressed. I’ve already booked Grace for another trip I have coming up in a few weeks. Will be repeat customer for sure.”
“Ellie was professional and kind to our animals. We appreciated her communications and attention to our animals' care. Thanks for making our travel easier, by letting us leave knowing our pets are well cared for!”

Renee is the answer to my prayers! I have never left my two boys with anyone but my mom, but I have lost that support system. Renee did a meet and greet so I knew the boys liked her, she communicated with me often sending pictures and videos, and when I got home they were happy. I could tell they were well cared for. I so appreciate that she loved on my babies while I was away. She made this dog mom's first time away stress-free and I am so grateful for that! I look forward to using her services again.
Braydon was awesome 👍with our two dogs and took good care of the house while he was here. I got at least 4 text updates per day with pictures. As an over protective dog mom this helped us to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good hands! Highly recommend and hope to use him again 🐶❤️
Terry is fantastic! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away, giving us the confidence we needed for our first experience with a sitter. Fredrick can be a bit anxious but when we got home it was clear she took great care of him and had made a friend.
We cannot say enough good things about Kylie! She was responsible, communicative, and our dogs absolutely adored her. We were initially hesitant about leaving our dogs with someone we didn’t know and having someone stay in our home, but Kylie immediately put us at ease. Our dogs were able to stay comfortably in their own space while she lovingly cared for them. She sent photos, kept us updated, arrived on time, and was always polite and professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We would recommend Kylie to anyone and will absolutely use her again without hesitation.
I feel very comfortable and enjoy having Lindsay take care of my puppy. She communicates very well since pictures. Let me know how he’s doing on a regular basis. I have a big boy so I need somebody that feels comfortable with big dogs and she’s that person. My puppy loves her.
We had the pleasure of having Sam house sit and take care of our Chihuahua dog, Mini while we traveled abroad for 2 weeks. Stellar service as always from Sam, thanks for all the pictures and check ins with us, it really gives us a peace of mind knowing that our home and dog are in great care. You always go above and beyond and we appreciate you for that! Keep up the amazing work!
We had a great experience with Sydney . She was very communicative, responsible and kept us in the loop throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated it
Miranda did an amazing job looking after our cat and house sitting. We were out of the country for a week and Miranda sent us daily updates and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed that our little baby was well looked after. I will definitely be requesting Miranda's services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shavano Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Shavano Park is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $77 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 November 2026, there are 1,746 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shavano Park. 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 Shavano Park 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 Shavano Park 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 Shavano Park 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
