“Dora is a wonderful pet Nanny! She is loving, caring, and takes such good care of our 2 girls when we go on a trip!! She sends us updates and pictures of our girls daily! We highly recommend booking with her!”
“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.”
“Wonderful experience! Sara helped me out at the last minute when my schedule changed. She also extended her stay with my pups because a storm had come in and one of my dogs hates thunder. I’m so grateful she was there to ease my worries when I had to be away at work. Will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone I know.”
About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a mom of three, a lifelong animal lover, and a dedicated pet parent to four pups—Cookie (Border Heeler), Peaches (Pitbull), Oreo (Poodle) and Sage (Husky)—plus one cuddly cat named Puss Puss. Our home in Bulverde, TX (just 9 miles from 1604 & 281), is a safe, loving space where your pet will be treated like family. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. That’s why I prioritize comfort, safety, and personalized care—just like I would for my own. 🐾 What to Expect: • Your dog will enjoy companionship with my pups and plenty of playtime. • Potty-trained dogs can roam the house; those still learning will stay in our large, gated kitchen (no all-day kenneling here!). • We have a spacious, fenced yard for daily supervised outdoor time. • We go on daily walks/runs, and your pup is welcome to join! • Pets are never left outside unattended. • I can ONLY host dogs who are comfortable with children, due to my three kiddos at home. If you have questions about care needs or dates, feel free to reach out—I’d love to make sure we’re the perfect fit. I can’t wait to meet your pup! Your Pet’s Comfort is My Priority I currently work from home, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Pets are welcome to stay with me in my home office for companionship, or if they need a bit of space, I can set up a quiet, comfortable playpen area for some alone time. On weekends, we’re typically home unless otherwise noted in my availability or discussed with you in advance. I value transparency and clear communication—if you ever have questions or specific needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. A Home Full of Love, Play, and Tail Wags I live in a home with a spacious, fully fenced yard—plenty of room for safe outdoor fun! Your pup will be welcomed into our family by my three friendly, playful dogs who love making new friends. Whether it’s chasing toys, sunbathing, or just romping around together, your dog will enjoy a full day of companionship, exercise, and joy. They’ll go home happy, loved, and ready for a good nap—every single time. Regarding In-Home Care At this time, I’m not able to accommodate overnight stays in your home. However, I’m happy to discuss alternative care options that still meet your pet’s needs—such as early arrivals at your home and late departure for the night. Let’s chat and find the best solution for you and your furry family member if care in my home is not an option.
About: Howdy! I've grown up surrounded by all types of fur babies and have been caring for neighborhood pets since I was about 8 years old. Over the years, I've looked after dogs, cats, hamsters, and even ferrets for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from puppies as young as two weeks old to senior dogs up to 18 years old. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family, and I'll love and care for your fur baby like the king or queen they are. I'm currently a university student with a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's care. Since I'm not working another job, I'm able to accommodate a variety of schedules, provide frequent potty breaks, and give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. Whether you need daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, or walks, I'll do my best to work around your schedule and your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and go outside whenever they need to. At home, I typically let my own dogs out every 2–3 hours and spend time playing with them outside, so any dogs staying with me will receive the same level of care and attention. I also love taking dogs on walks, especially early in the morning when it's cooler outside, so they can get plenty of exercise without having to deal with the Texas heat. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“Maddy took great care of my little man while I was gone out of town at the last minute. She kept me updated and sent photos :) Definitely would recommend and will use her services again!”
“Took great care of our pack for the day and sent us some awesome pictures. Also was available at last minute and very flexible. We would highly recommend! Very compassionate and affectionate to our babies. Thank you!!!”
“Wow! This is our first time ever in almost years that’s our two pups and our daddy dog have ever been with absolute strangers and omg were we nervous! Miguel and Maria came by prior to dog sitting and came with the dogs fav. Snack carrots and while one of the dogs does have anxiety and then the other gets riled up Miguel new how to handle the situation and from then on they became best of friends! They stayed at our home for 5 days with our babies. They sent videos, photos of how they interacted with them. We were blessed to have them take care of our precious kiddos;) we would highly recommend them! If you have a dog with anxiety like we do highly recommend! Thank you you too for being amazing!!”
About: I have always loved caring for other dogs when growing up. My pup is the same way. We both love visitors and would love to have your fur baby stay with us I work from home Full time. My routine with my own fur baby is feeding twice a day and potty breaks 3 times a day. We also do frequent trips to the dog park onsite. My Penny girl is one of the most social dogs I’ve ever had. She loves meeting new dogs and is such a good host when we have fur visitors. I work remotely which allows me to give quite a bit of attention to my pup and any visitors.
“Olivia was so amazing! Seniors last minute to help me out with my dogs. She asked for a meet and greet first which was lovely. She took her time to get to know my dogs and spend good quality time with them; they really enjoyed their time with her!”
“Amazing job. She was so good with pups and kept us updated while we were gone on vacation. Puppies had a good time and when we returned to our home it was spotless. Highly recommend.”
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was five years old. My love of animals means your pet will be well taken care of. I am currently working full time but with my boys being all grown I have plenty of free time at nights and on the weekends. I provide safe loving walks, lots of playtime and lots of love to animals. Pet’s have always been a very large part of my family.
About: I've had dogs my whole life! Never has my house been without at least 3 dogs and a fish! I even trained my pitbull when I was only 13 years old Since I am a college student my schedule is pretty open! I walk and run my own dog twice a day so l have no problem doing the same for yours! My dog gets walked and ran at least twice a day, fed twice a day with vitamins as well. She is crate trained but I always let her roam and sleep in my bed when I'm home
About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Spring Branch is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $79 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.

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 Spring Branch 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 Spring Branch 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 Spring Branch 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 Spring Branch. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
