“Dana has become truly a miracle send for my husband and I - we have two giant Belgian Malinois(one that weighs 130lbs and is more like a small pony!) and she started coming in for drop ins as we prep to have our first baby. She immediately put us at ease, the boys both took to her quickly and even our younger, anxious, not trusting of new people dog came around quickly. Today, despite my own personal anxiety about it and how the dogs would react - Dana did two check ins successfully where we were gone and not present and it went phenomenally! Dana is patient, awesome, calm which is exactly what anxious dogs need but especially giant Malinois who are protective and high drive. I would recommend her to anyone with large dogs especially and even more so if your dogs go everywhere with you and if you’ve avoided any overnight trips that they can’t go on due to boarding or sitting woes with dogs who need consistent routine and their own space.”
“Madison was amazing with our boys! She played with them and sent us pictures throughout the visits. They loved her so much and we would 100% rebook with Madison every single time!”
About: I have been taken care of dogs since I was little. I have helped neighbors and family with their dogs. I have taken the dogs on walks, played with them, and feed them. I am a stay at home mom so I am home full time. The only time I would leave the dogs alone is to go to the store. I would be able to take the dogs on walks, play with them and anything else that is required. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs to keep the other dogs busy. They have plenty of room to run around and they have room to play inside as well.
About: I pride myself on having learned about dogs from a young age. Although I am no expert, I would say my knowledge about dog behavior and body language is above average!

My work schedule varies since I work in retail but some days this allows me to be off of work before noon which would give me plenty of time to care for your pup midday. On the other hand, some days i don’t work until later afternoon times so I am available for early visits in the morning :) For those reasons I'm super flexible Having pets of my own, I understand that following their routine and schedule is important, so I will be punctual and follow any instructions left for me! Whether it’s on walks or just quick drop-ins, I hope to leave your pet as happy as can be!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abilene
Paul did a wonderful job looking after my two fur babies. Even if they weren't very sociable with him! His daily reports and his pictures of them ( when he could actually find them) were very reassuring while I was away. I appreciate the peace of mind Paul gave me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
