“Tiffany is great, she did a fantastic job taking care of my pup. She is reliable and professional, communicative and has great energy. My dog had a great time with her. She was able to walk my reactive dog and keep him calm. She also left the house cleaner than when I left. Thank you!”
“Maggie was so great with Frito! She sent frequent updates and made sure he got all the attention he craves. The house was in great condition too when we got home. Thanks Maggie!!”
“Ana was so great with my pups! She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and was very proactive about letting me know when my older girl was limping. Highly recommend!”
“Jeff is great. Extremely reliable and compassionate with my dogs. He took great care of them. And left my house in the same condition as it was when I left. I highly recommend him. I have had a lot of problems with Rover in Austin and Jeff is one of the few sitters I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with”
“Alicia took care of our three fur babies and home while we left on vacation. She left the home in great condition! Got home to safe and happy pups. Recommend!”
“It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!”
“I can't recommend Megan enough! She is reliable and went above and beyond to make sure that my dogs weren't only cared for, but also having a great time while I was gone. I always have a tough time finding a sitter because one of my dogs is aggressive towards other dogs and nervous when meeting new people. But from the first meet-and-greet, it was obvious that Megan was an animal lover and experienced with nervous dogs, so mine warmed up to her in no time! She sent regular updates with photos to let me know what they were doing, and when my trip was unexpectedly extended another day, she offered to stay longer which made my life a whole lot easier. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter, and she'll be the first person I reach out to when I need another one in the future!”
“Melissa is an absolute angel! She took the best care of our two little girls. She was super communicative, asked great questions, and went above and beyond to ensure our girls were well taken care of and we were anxiety-free. So grateful!! Thank you, Melissa!! ❤️”
“Willow was amazing. I am always an overbearing pet parent to my kiddos and she was so sweet always answering my texts and sending me pictures every day. Truly the best!”
“Katherine is amazing! She was so communicative and my pups absolutely loved her! She even had to deal with my doggy needing ear drops, which he does not love, and handled it amazingly. I'm so glad I found her!”
“Maddy is probably the best Rover sitter I’ve ever had. Fairly last second, we were able to find her to watch our boys who can’t be left home alone for 5 days straight. She was awesome. The boys were actually depressed watching her leave, we had to cheer them up but they waited at the door for her. If she is ever available again, she will be our go to. She even did random chores around the house that she didn’t need to do but was so sweet of her. The boys were well taken care of and she was super communicative about everything. I’ve never felt so stress free leaving my boys home alone before Maddy.”
“INCREDIBLY sweet, friendly, funny, caring, and reliable!! Amazing experience as our first time using Rover, will definitely be requesting Mandee moving forward!”
“We are so grateful for Rasika! She was WONDERFUL with Marley, spending so much quality time and really making her her priority, which gave us all the comfort and peace while we were away. She was also so willing to do what she could to accommodate us when we had an unexpected family event that resulted in us needing her a few days sooner. Couldn’t ask for more! ♥️”

Mandee is amazing! I just moved to Austin and had to find a sitter for my anxious dog while I go out of town for a few days. Leading up to it, she took him on walks to get him comfortable with her. When the day came, he was calm and loved being with her. Coming home, he was calm and happy. She followed the directions for when she left and our place was the same way we left it. No complaints!
Our 16-year-old chihuahua is super bonded to my partner, and it’s always a question how he’ll do with other people when we’re not there. It’s clear that he felt right at home with Tiffany taking care of him. We felt at ease our whole time away and knew we’d come back to a happy pup!
Heather is absolutely AMAZING! 💛 We feel so lucky to have found her and trusted her with our sassy little senior pup. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable, and throughout her stay, Heather went above and beyond to make sure our girl was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her daily videos were honestly the highlight of my days and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how attentive, patient, and loving she was with our pup, especially knowing that our little grandma can be a bit of a tricky gal! If you’re looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your fur babies, I cannot recommend Heather enough. She took such wonderful care of our girl, and we came home to a happy, well-loved pup. 🥹 Thank you SO much again, Heather! We appreciate you more than you know! 💛💛💛
Elizabeth cared for our old man cat and our home for 8 days while we were in Alaska. She gave him oral meds every other day and supervised him in the garden when it was sunny. She also went above and beyond and helped us manage the ever-falling apples in our backyard each evening. Elizabeth was super communicative throughout her stay and sent us regular updates and photos of our fur baby. We returned home to a clean house and a happy cat. We 100% recommended booking pet-care services with Elizabeth.
I couldn’t have been happier with the care my dog, Shadow, received! Noelle did a wonderful job caring for him and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Shadow was in such good hands. Noelle was responsible, caring, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Shadow! ❤️🐾
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She helped me when we didn’t even know each other, and she was there for me and my babies when I needed her. She took wonderful care of them, gave me real peace of mind, and spoiled them beyond belief—which, of course, is exactly the idea!
Matthew was super kind and clearly loves doggos. He asked all the right questions upfront, so I felt fully confident Magic would have a new BFF and be well cared for, even with his separation anxiety. He's an awesome communicator with regular updates and left the house spotless. 10/10 — would book again in a heartbeat.
Taylor stayed at our home for one week, taking care of Frida while we were traveling. Taylor was communicative, and got along very well with our dog. She made sure things were taken care of, and left the house spotless. In addition, she took care of our bird’s daily needs. Highly recommend Taylor for her services.

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 Sunset Valley 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 Sunset Valley 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 Sunset Valley 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.
