“Nichole is amazing!! She took such great care of my boys. My little guy Rambo is so shy and when he first met her, he went right up to her for pets!! She is a dog whisperer. I will definitely be a repeat customer!!”
“Liz is AMAZING. My sweet rescue pup is a little anxious and jumpy, but Liz was so patient and gentle with her and gave her time to feel comfortable. And things went great! Liz sent photos and updates and left my house better than I left it. I could not be happier.”
“Danielle was great. She was very attentive to all instructions including special feeding instructions, and managed our Great Pyrenees Lily, who has quite a mind of her own, very well, and kept us posted several times a day. The house was left in good order. We will ask her to come again.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond our expectations. This is the first time we've used someone we didn't know to watch our dog. Nervous about being gone for a week. Jennifer sent pictures, went on walks, played with our dog and much more. Jennifer was texting us each day with updates. Would highly recommend Jennifer and Rover service if you need someone to watch your dog.”
“Matthew was amazing as always! Sent daily pics, updated me on anything new. Cleaned up after himself when he left. Thank you again Matthew for being so great.”
“Jayden did a great job housesitting my dog! She followed all my instructions and was very responsive. She made sure to send me lots of great pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“Alina stayed with our dog and two cats for five nights, and they seem so relaxed and happy when we got home. They clearly loved her! She took great care of everything and sent tons of pictures all week. Highly recommend!”
“We were in town for work and really wanted to bring our 16 weeknold Cavapoo with us as we just adopted him. We reached out to Ashley before arriving in San Antonio to ensure she had availability. We read reviews of various sitters and decided on Ashley. Upon I still contact right up to picking up our fur son, we felt comfortable. She was very accommodating and had a wonderful vide from initial contact up to when we picked up our puppy. We definitely will use her again if we are in town again. If she lived by us, we would hire her a a lot!”
“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”
“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.”
“Grey was great! Respectful to our home but most importantly respectful to our pup! Sent regular updates and went above and beyond. We travel often so we will be using Grey again in the future! Highly recommend! We came home to a happy and healthy pup!”
“Adirah did an incredible job with my pup, Cooper. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet to get him comfortable and kept me updated on things all weekend. She also took very good care of the apartment. I’m so grateful she was able to look after my little guy and I will most certainly be booking with her again.”
“Evelyn was nothing short of amazing! She took care of two crazy GSPs and made sure they were happy and healthy. One of ours needed medication and special attention while we were away and it did not phase her at all. Would recommend to anyone!”
“If I could give her 10 stars I would! She is the best in every way. She totally lives up to her 5 star reviews. While I was gone I had to contact her and ask if she could make an unexpected trip to my house because my husband had forgotten to leave the doggie door open. I was so relieved when she said she could make an extra trip over. And while she was there she spent some extra time with my dog and sent me pictures. She definitely goes the extra mile and will be my first choice for future Rover visits. My only fear is that she will be booked because she should be at the top of everyone’s list.”
“Thalia was amazing. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my 2 dogs. She loved on them and made sure they stayed on schedule. I will definitely be using her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrell Hills
Caroline was incredibly warm, loving towards our pets, highly responsive, and made it so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. All the photos she sent and her attention to detail helped us see how happy and well our pets were doing while we were away. We are so grateful to her and her care for our large brood! Thank you, Caroline!!!
Danielle was great. She was very attentive to all instructions including special feeding instructions, and managed our Great Pyrenees Lily, who has quite a mind of her own, very well, and kept us posted several times a day. The house was left in good order. We will ask her to come again.
Nev is the BEST! I can see why they have the reviews and repeat clients that they do! I was so fortunate to have Nev stay at my home with my yellow lab for a week. He was spoiled rotten, but in the best way of course! I need to plan some trips so Ellis can have his playmate back again!! Thank you, Nev~
We booked Parker to watch our 2 dogs for 5 days in our home. One of our dogs is very shy and timid but Parker was able to get her to trust her on the first day. She has a big heart for animals and the care she provided was very evident. We did have an issue on the last day with us getting back home at a certain time but Parker was quick to respond and resolve the issue in a timely manner.
Doraelia is an absolute lifesaver! We were in a pinch over the holidays and needed someone to watch our cat, Yuki, and our dog, Echo. Doraelia stepped in and did an amazing job. Not only did they stay on top of a strict medication schedule for both pets, but they also made sure Echo got her daily walks and both animals received plenty of playtime and attention. It was so clear that Yuki and Echo were happy and well-cared for as Doraelia sent photos regularly. We can't thank Doraelia enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter!
We were nervous for someone we didn’t know to pet and housesit. Steven did two visits with us and our pets to make sure we all felt comfortable. Upon returning home from vacation, our pets were happy to see us but they didn’t seem overly excited or stressed. This was a good sign that our pets were relaxed with Steven while we were away. We will be asking Steven to sit for us again in the future. Very happy with his care of our pets and home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Terrell Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terrell Hills on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,762 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terrell Hills. 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 Terrell Hills 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 Terrell Hills 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 Terrell Hills 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Terrell Hills. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
