“Will was very attentive to Penny. Checked in on her, fed her at same time everyday and stayed overnight with her. When I came back on Sunday, she was very content, and not stressed at all. I will use Will again.”
“We contacted Dora last minute for house sitting and definitely was the best decision we made!! She is AMAZING, lovely and patient, she keeps you updated all day with pictures, videos and texts, I’m a worried and nervous dog mom haha and the updates definitely made me feel better and calm. She loves what she does, that’s for sure. Our apartment and Luka, where in good hands, she’s really respectful with your place. She cares about every single and small thing, we have TONS of good things to say about Dora, run, don’t walk to reserve with her! Thanks for everything Dora, our family loves you! Million thanks, looking forward to have you again!”
“Best house sitting for our old greyhound we have ever had. We were gone a week and Katherine and her husband took amazing care of our dog and the house. We returned to a cleaner house than we left and they sent us amazing videos each day of Dublins activities. We are lucky to have such a reliable and outstanding dog sitter!!!”
“This was ourfirst experience with Rover and we could not have been more pleased with Madison! She cared for our pets as if they were her own. Prior to her visit, we had a vet emergency and explained the issue and asked her to keep an extra eye out him. Well our pet had the issue come up while away and Madison did such a great job notifying immediately and took to the vet to receive the medical attention. In addition, during her visit, she sent updates on all the other pets. I highly recommend Madison!!”
“Braydon follows my instructions to the T! He is thoughtful about daily routine with the pups and we come home assured the house is neat and the crew is calm and happy to see us.”
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 have lived and worked with pets my whole life, but have been a professional pet care provider for 8+ years. I spent the last 6 years at a doggy daycare in Austin, providing professional care for dogs of all kinds. I am experienced with administering medication, orally and via injection. I am also comfortable and experienced with handling pets that need special attention for behavioral or health reasons. I have two senior kitties of my own, but I love all animals, and enjoy getting to bond with and care for other people's pets. In addition to dogs and cats, I am also experienced with other pets, including reptiles and amphibians, smalls mammals, birds, and farm animals. I will be working full-time starting mid-October. I am still able to care for pets that are adjusted to schedules of parents who work full-time. I am happy to wake up early to accomodate morning routines before i have to leave for work. Saturday's are half-days, and I won't be working Sunday's, so my weekend availability is more flexible! I am living in a rental property, and unfortunately cannot care for pets in my own home. I am happy to provide whatever level of safety and restriction you would like me to follow for your pets- remaining in fenced in yards, or on leash at all times.
“Jean-Paul was an excellent sitter for our two English Bulldogs. He provided lots of pictures and updates, which was great! He’s gone above and beyond to make sure our dogs are loved and cared for while we’re away.”
“Juliana was responsive and easy to communicate and schedule with. We had a last minute booking because our original sitter fell through, so she was a lifesaver . Our pups had a great time and got in some great exercise so we’re super mellow when we got home. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: Ten years caring for dogs of every size, I specialize in small breeds but open to all sizes and breeds, offering calm, unrushed walks with flexible scheduling and photo updates every visit. I work night shifts, which gives me flexible daytime hours to dedicate to your dog. I’m typically available for walks mid-morning through early afternoon on weekdays, with some weekend availability too. Since I’m not juggling a second daytime job, your walk won’t be squeezed between other commitments. Safety comes first on every walk — I always use a secure leash and harness setup, stay alert to other dogs and traffic, and never take shortcuts on route or timing. I have two miniature dachshunds at home, so I understand small-breed handling, from careful leash tension to watching for signs of fatigue.
“Emily was so generous to make sure that bubba was taken care of the entire time we were gone! He was exhausted from all the play time he received, which made us happy to know he was treated properly!”
“Rachel was fantastic and we will definitely use her services again. Our dog Max was very happy to spend time with Rachel and I highly recommend her! She was communicative and we felt extremely comfortable leaving her in our home as first time Rover users.”
“Reily is simply amazing! The love and care she showed our pups was like they were her own. Not is she amazing with Aspen and Sterling, but she took amazing care of our home. We came home and it looked like we never had left. Our home was spotless! To top it off there were fresh baked cookies that were still warm when we got home. We will never book anyone else!”
“Wow so happy with Laurie and her house/pet sitting! The dogs were happy and healthy! Great communication while we were gone with pictures also. House was very clean when we got back AND she had washed up things that I had left in the hamper. Along with the bedding. She also is a very sweet girl when I got to meet her prior to the booking. I have already booked her for October. Thank you Laurie.”
“Abby was great and I definitely recommend using her. She was very responsive and would send updates and pictures throughout her stay. Our dogs loved her too. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I have been told that I have a way with animals , especially dogs in terms of gaining their trust. I have raised a number a dogs over 2 decades living on the family ranch. The latest dog I picked out for the family was very shy and scared. But I bonded with him quickly and gained his trust. FYI, I understand that this a job that I must prioritize customer service, and the health and well-being of their pets. I am well aware the duties of house sitting would include washing toys and dishes, mopping if needed, making sure the pets get plenty of play time, walks in parks, cleaning up waste, and giving meds if needed. Also, I’ll bring my own air mattress if you wish me to spend the night house sitting your pet. Also, for your information, I am actively seeking a part-time job, so I won’t be available, as a house sitter, to stay in your home all day considering I’ll need to work and such. But I will spend the nights at your place making sure your pet is cared for by all means necessary. I am working on getting another part-time job to make ends meet, but I can provide a flexible schedule to ensure your pets gets the best service when I am needed for help. As a house sitter, I won’t be available to stay in the house with your pet all day; but will still spend the nights there taking care of your pet. I am unable to provide service to have your pet stay at my place. My backyard is too small for starters. And most importantly, the walls and fence are not built properly meaning you dog might be at risk of digging out.

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!
Alexander took excellent care of our babies and home! Great communication and pics, letting us enjoy the evening knowing all was good at home. We’ve also booked him for a special, long awaited, vacation and we couldn’t be happier that he’ll be watching them!! Thanks’

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
