“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”
“Got lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire time! William is great and cared for our our 85lb high energy boy and our 45lb old man with no issues. Highly recommend for your babies care!”
“Cheyenne is amazing! This was the first time we had to leave our dog for an extended period of time. Cheyenne was great at keeping me updated on how he was doing and all the fun he was having! He is a playful boy and needs quite a bit of attention, and Cheyenne was ready and willing. His energy is not always easy to manage, but we came home to a calm, relaxed boy! Cheyenne also took meticulous care of our gecko. She can be fussy with new people but warmed right up to Cheyenne! We returned home to a spotless house and happy animals! Overall Cheyenne was extremely mindful in every step of the care she provided and we will absolutely be reaching out again!”
“Roxanne was so great with my little pup. She sent me photos and gave me updates throughout my trip and it felt great to know Macchiato was in good hands. Roxanne dog sat at my place and left it immaculate when she left. I'd definitely have Roxanne back again.”
“Rylee was great! She sent pictures, communicated well and took good care of my house! Jeanne had more walks than I generally do !I will definitely engage her again!”
“Matthew did a great job! It was his first time watching my kitties and they seemed to take to him pretty quickly. Came back to a clean house and happy cats :)”
“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!!!”
“Rebekah was a great house / dog sitter! My dog was in a cone and had some meds he had to take and she handled it all great, especially since it took him a moment to warm up and settle in. She was patient with him, very communicative and had the sweetest things to say about him! I will definitely book Rebekah again in the future.”
“It’s hard to leave your pets and home with a stranger. Braydon put our minds at ease from our first meeting. He was respectful, friendly, and came with treats in his pockets. He took care of our 2 dogs, cat, and home for 2 weeks. He was easy to communicate with and sent us multiple updates with pictures daily. He also was able to manage a minor issue we had with our home. He even cleaned! He treated our babies with care and allowed us to have great vacation free of worry! Simply put, we can’t recommend him enough. We will use Braydon again and again for as long as he is available!”
“She went above and beyond. Was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures for peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals!!! We will be using her again”

“Rachel took time off her own personal schedule to come by more than once before she stayed with Phoebe and Mystery to spend time with them and get to know them. We were out of the country for her booking and she stayed in our home making sure our girls were loved and taken care of. Came back to happy girls and a clean home and she was great to communicate with sending us updates and pictures. We are so grateful for her service and time!”
“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!”
“Laila watched our house and kitties for 6 nights while we went on our honeymoon and made us feel completely at peace while away! She was available on short notice, very responsive and communicative, and left our house clean and our cats happy! We got daily updates and photos. I’d highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Isabel was the best watching our pups! She was very communicative and loved in our babies while we were away. It was our first time using someone we didn’t know and the dogs loved her. She handled all instructions to a T and we came back to happy pups 😊”
About: I have taken care of multiple pets throughout my life. I am familiar with caring for puppies, middle aged cats/dogs, and senior cats/dogs. Animals hold a very special place in my heart & they deserve nothing but love. I can fit your pets care and needs into my schedule without a problem. Let me know the timeframe you need your fur baby taken care of, & they will be first on my list of priorities! I have a fenced yard that is very spacious for your fur baby to roam and play. There are many shady areas for your pet to rest from playing. Fresh food, water, and of course head pats will be available at all times. 🐾 If the weather is too much, we will hangout inside and do whatever your pet is in the mood for, whether it be playing, eating, or resting. They will be cared for and loved.
About: I've experienced the magic of pets since I was young. My parents' house includes a Shih Tzu, Labrador, and a mixed cat! They behave different but have tons of love that they give us. We love our pets, and I know you love yours, too. I've cared for pets of a variety of ages and sizes. I update clients every day / walk that their pet is in my care. If you need a scheduled sitter in advance or a last minute sitter, just ask! Let's work together. First-time clients get 10% off for the first appointment. I'm responsible and trustworthy. I hold a master's degree and work full-time, but can step away during lunch breaks to feed pets and can go after 5pm. I also love giving daily updates on your pet while you are away! For house sitting, I leave your home the way I find it. I appreciate a clean space in my own home, and I take pride in respecting your home. I enjoy jogging / hiking. I regularly walk my parents' Labrador when I am home; thus, taking your fur baby on a walk is not a challenge for me. I walk often, and will be sure to keep your pets safe! I am aware of snakes and other predators lurking in San Antonio's trails and have training in snake bite care. I haven't had to use it, yet, but it is good info to know! I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm, Mondays - Fridays. I am usually flexible with my time on weekends if given advanced notice. I do not walk pets in extreme heat (outside temperature of 90 or more, unless there is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Shavano Park is $42
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shavano Park
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
William was an outstanding dog sitter! From the very beginning, he was communicative, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our time away. Knowing our dogs and our home were in such great hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our wedding without worrying about our fur babies or the house. The photo updates he sent were an added bonus—they gave us so much peace of mind and were such a joy to receive while we were celebrating. It was clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend William to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
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!
Denise was fantastic! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. When we got home, it was obvious that Chevy had been well loved and well cared for. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Denise again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Abby did a great job with our pets on a short notice request for watching our pets. She was very respectful and helpful during her visit. She was very helpful and responsive to any questions I had, kept me informed the entire time we were gone. I can’t imagine a better person for the job.
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’
15/10, will book again! Amanda was truly one of the most top-notch sitters with whcih we've had the pleasure of working. She was friendly and incredibly thorough in taking information and preparing for every instance. Our Mojo man is a bit of a shy boy and he took to her very well on the first meeting. He seemed relaxed and happy when we came home and exhibited less than normal clinginess to us in the days that followed our return. We are so grateful not only for her care of our boy, but for her consideration of our home. Couldn't even tell she had been there. Thank you and we look forward to booking again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shavano Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shavano Park on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,769 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 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.
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.
