“Duncan was wonderful with our babies as usual and we came home to a really tidy house! He always goes above and beyond. Would recommend and we will be booking with Duncan again ❤️”
“Olivia was amazing with our two dogs! One of them can be a bit timid and nervous but he took too Olivia right away! She followed all the instructions we left her and gave them lots of love! We couldn’t recommend her more we would definitely use her again moving forward!”
“Willow was amazing. She was very communicative and very loving and affectionate with both of the dogs. I have an older senior dog and she takes lots of care and patience with him and treat him seemingly as if he were her own, which is the best and most I can ask out of any Pet Sitter. I feel very comfortable with her being at my house and taking care of my child. I will definitely be using her as often as I can, when needing Pet Sitting.”
“Corina did a great job watching my 6 cats and a dog, and even was able to give everyone their meds without issue. I came home to a clean house and a bunch of happy babies. I’ll be booking with her again.”
“So kind, & responsible. Went completely out of her way to care for our needy puppy while we were away on a very important trip!! Even when things came up she maintained so calm. Peace of mind was unmatched. Would hire again!!”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I’ve been a compassionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs. My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else while traveling, so that is why high quality attention and care is my priority. I like to keep you updated, sending plenty of photos and always communicating. I’m available for house-sits, drop in visits for cats as well as in home boarding for dogs. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule. Whether you have a younger high energy dog who needs lots of playtime and walks and exercise, or you have a senior dog who likes to cuddle and lounge around on the couch I’m here for you! I’m currently working part time so I do have plenty of time to play, take care of, and give attention to your doggies! A typical day if you’re boarding your dog at our house would be outdoor time first thing in the morning, breakfast, nap time, a walk late morning or evening depending on the Texas heat, relaxing inside, dinner, more outdoor time, play time, cuddles and bed. If you’ll be boarding at our home, we have a house that is set up perfectly for dogs and a large fenced in backyard for them to run and play safely. Someone is always out there with them whether it’s me or my husband Nathan. They get plenty of attention in our home since we are home all day.
“We have an 11 1/2 year old golden retriever who is blind, and she was taken care of and was safe in Kaliann's care! Kaliann was communicative and sent us pictures which we appreciated! I would recommend Kaliann!”
“We knew from our first meeting that our pups were going to be in good hands while we were gone. It is so obvious that Donna loves dogs and she goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel comfortable at her home. We will definitely be calling Donna again when we go out of town. ♥️”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Lucrecia is great, second time having her to house sit and watch our puppies. Our dogs love hanging out with her and we feel very confident leaving our pups in her care.”
About: I grew up in a household that was always full of pets. I've been responsible for cats, dogs, birds, gerbils, and many more! I'm experienced in caring for babies, seniors, and middle-aged animals. I can walk em', feed em', bathe em', give em' meds, and lots of cuddles! I'm in school during the week and I have a part-time job on weekends. My goal is to fit my pet-sitting jobs into my school schedule (Monday-Thursday) between classes. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I'm at school from 10:30am-3:30pm, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm at school from 7:30am-3:30pm. I have open availability on Fridays. I'm currently in college student housing, so I don't have the means to host your animals at my place. I'd be more than happy to take your dogs out to play in local parks or in your own backyard.
About: I've been looking after all kinds of pets for quite some time! I love pets, especially cats and dogs. I've spent the night, I've watched dogs for a couple weeks, I've dropped by for potty/meal breaks, and I love to just sit and care for the pets. It would be my honor to look after your pets. I'm currently a student at Texas State, so Monday through Thursday I am only available in the mornings and evenings, but Friday through Sunday I am free all day! I can stop by whenever you need more or stay the night if that is what you prefer! I am very easy to work with so anything you need, I will gladly help you out.
“Kylie did a great job. I appreciated that she walked Sandie each day and was sweet to Prissy kitty. Our house was neat and tiny and everything seemed to run smoothly while we were away. Thank you, Kylie!”
“Shelby was great! I can be a little psychotic about leaving Diesel behind, but she would send me pictures and updates to keep me sane. She took great care of him and he loved having her here. She even cleaned the whole house before we got home a very nice surprise :) will definitely be booking with Shelby again in the future”
“Blayre was so great with my energetic dog! Kricket warmed up to her really fast and seemed so calm and happy when I returned . Blayre was very communicative during the stay and even cleaned up one of my plants that had fallen off the windowsill. I highly recommend her services!”
“Katie was so sweet and very easy to work with. I liked that she sent pictures of the animals having a good time, and asked questions of there was anything she was unsure of. I would totally book her again and am grateful to have found her! This was our very first experience with Rover and I’m excited to find something that will give us maybe some more opportunities to travel in the future. 10/10”
About: I have been passionate about working with animals since I can remember. I love all animals and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and chickens. I have worked with Freedom Canines International in training service dogs. FCI is a non-profit organization that placing service dogs free of charge. I have been apart of FCI for 4 years and ongoing. I work and train my own FCI pup Crush, I sat with him in his welping box since he was less than 24 hours old, he is now 6 months old and is an aspiring service dog. I look forward to passing on my training knowledge to others pups young and old. I work at WAG most days from 3-5 in the afternoon, and then some days from 8-10 in the morning. I can do overnights anytime! I can easily come by and stay with your pet during the day and or night. I can do drop-in visits as well as dog walks.
About: I’d set myself apart by focusing on personalized care and attention. Here’s what would make me stand out: Reliable & Attentive: I’d follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable. Experience with Different Needs: Whether it’s energetic puppies needing training reinforcement or senior dogs requiring extra care, I’d tailor my approach. Enrichment & Play: I wouldn’t just watch pets—I’d engage them with games, walks, and mental stimulation. Strong Communication: Regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel at ease. Calm & Patient Approach: Especially helpful for anxious or rescue pets. Basic Training Reinforcement: If the owner is working on commands or house manners, I’d help maintain consistency. While going to school full time, I have opening hours pretty much all day. It aligns with my schedule at anytime of the day, while I am going to school. My approach is depending on whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. In My Home Provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with space to play and rest. Follow feeding schedules and dietary needs. Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Supervise interactions with other pets (if any). Maintain a clean and comfortable space for them. In a Client’s Home Follow the owner’s routine to keep the pet comfortable. Feed, water, and administer any necessary medication. Take dogs for walks and provide playtime. Clean up after them (litter boxes, accidents, etc.). Provide companionship to reduce stress from their owner’s absence. Send updates and pictures to the owner.

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 Wimberley 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 Wimberley 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 Wimberley 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
