“Sarah did a great job with our pups! She took them out on long walks and communicated any questions or issues she faced. She also cleaned up after herself and left our home the way she found it which was greatly appreciated.”
“Dora was fantastic! The animals loved her. She took great care of my senior dog and ornery cat. She even fed the feral cat and made sure the local deer had water to drink on these hot days. The house was neat as a pin when I came home. She made sure the sheets and towels had been washed, the bed made up and the dishes clean. I couldn't have asked for more.”
About: I took care of my dog, Luna, since the first day she was born because her mom didn’t want her. I’d wake up every 2 hours to make sure she ate while she was little because I didn’t want anything to happen to her. Now she’s 4 years old running around with her parents and siblings. I have a cat, she recently turned one. I take her everywhere with me, she loves car rides now. At home I have dogs who I’d always look forward going to play with after work. Pets have been a part of my life for a while now and I enjoy it. When it comes to dogs, puppies, I know that most of the time all they want to do is play and I’m okay with that. I think it’s an important part of their life to keep them healthy and happy.I know some pets don’t like being alone and it’s makes me sad to see pets waiting by the door for their owners to show up. So I look forward to being with them whether it’s playing with them or just keeping them company while you’re out working or running errands.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samuel was fantastic! He stayed overnight, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures throughout our trip. He was especially patient and understanding with our new puppy, who is very shy and fearful around new people. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and will definitely book with Samuel again. Highly recommend!”
“Where do I start with how great she is! Meg came over for a meet and greet to ensure Nala, my cat, got to meet her ahead of time. I was honestly shocked because my skittish girl who typically doesn’t approach strangers went right up to her with no hesitation. Meg took detailed notes and even asked about household things she could do while I was gone (e.g., asking what days the garbage man came, etc.). Most importantly, my cat has a heart condition and takes three medications. I’m always worried when I leave since she’s not the easiest cat to get meds in. But not for Meg, she said she had no issues getting Nala to take her medications. I’m so thankful for Meg and can’t say enough great things about her. Nala clearly trusted her and so do I!”
“I’m truly grateful that Rebeca was available to take care of my Hunter and watch the house while I was gone. She did a wonderful job of keeping on a daily basis. She also left the house in tiptop condition. It was so nice to come home to a clean house that looks like it did when I left I would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: I have owned and cared for cats for the majority of my life. My sweet cat Rigby is nine years old, who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, because of this I am comfortable administering medication or food through a feeding tube, a syringe and by mouth if need be. He also has sensitive skin, so I have applied topical ointments and oils to his skin. He also lets me clip his nails and clean his ears. I work as a grad intern in the school system, so I am available after 4pm on weekdays and available anytime on weekends, or flexible depending on my part-time job. I have a nine year old cat who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, so I cared for his pre and post operation care, like administering food and medicine through his feeding tube. I believe open communication is key, so I will always contact you before making a decision regarding your fur baby. I love and cherish all animals. I have not cared for my own dog, yet, but I would love to learn!
“Ally was fantastic with our dogs. She sent pictures and updates every day which helped ease my concerns and helped me enjoy my time away. Will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”
“Went above and beyond my expectations. My husband and I were so nervous to have others taking care of our dogs, but there was ample communication, pictures, and video updates that reassured us that they cared for our dogs the way we did!”
“Taking care of our 8 pets can be stressful and chaotic, even for my husband and I working together. But Leah is always up to the task. One of our cats is on meds and 2 others take supplements. One of our dogs has cancer. If it weren't for Leah, we wouldn't both have been able to attend a huge special occasion in the life our grandson out of state, and to have peace of mind while we were away.”
“We were first time Rover users so naturally the Dog Mom in me had a lot of anxiety!! Michelle was great! The dogs really seemed to enjoy her company. She noticed a snake on the backyard and was quick to make sure the dogs got inside safely!!! We will use her again!!!”
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!!
“Sam was a great sitter! He took excellent care of my dogs and stayed in touch with photos of them. I know it wasn’t an easy job because we have a young puppy but he was willing and dealt with everything that comes with puppyhood beautifully. I highly recommend Sam.”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 7. I love animals of any kind big or small. I’m extremely loving and caring so your pets will be very loved and taken care of. I’m currently going to school for 3 days out the week for 1 hour so I’m free the rest of the week and day! I would be able to provide lots of walking, cuddling and over all my undivided attention towards your pets. I live In an apartment however, they are pet friendly. I will be able to walk your pets every hour, I can provide treats, and maybe some training if the pet is whiling!
About: I've grown up around animals my entire life, and have always been my favorite kind of company! 🐾 I grew up with cats and dogs, and my family has had three German Shepherds over the years. I'm a proud pet mom to a rescue pit bull mix and a rescue cat, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust to care for your pets when you're away, especially when friends and family aren't available. I want to be that person you can feel comfortable leaving your pets with, knowing they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I'm happy to get to know each pet's unique personality, respect their routines, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'm excited to meet them where they are! Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart, and I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and to feel loved. I would treat your pets with the same care and consideration I give my own. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can work with your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and making sure our furry family members are well cared for. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and find a schedule that works best for both of us! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone else's pets. As a pet mom to a rescue dog and cat, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving the same love and attention they get at home. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications if needed, and any specific rules or preferences. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, keep pets away from unsafe foods or items, and pay attention to their behavior so I can recognize when something seems unusual. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space, keep food and water areas tidy, clean litter boxes as needed, and provide updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I always aim to make them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. My goal is to give you peace of mind while treating your pets and your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine!
“This is our second time working with Russell. He showed up on time and communicated throughout. We felt at ease knowing our pups were in good hands with him. Would love to work with him again in the future.”
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

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shavano Park
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shavano Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
