“Danielle was a really big help. I reached out to her last second and she was available for me right away. She was extremely communicative and very flexible with my schedule. It was clear that the dogs were always excited to be around her highly recommend using her for all your dog walking and sitting needs”
“Marie was wonderful with Ace while I was gone. She updated me after every drop in visit and when I came home I had the sweetest photo of my dog and hand written card from her. I would be booking again in the future!”
“Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years now and have 4 dogs of my own! Love all animals and can also administer any medications your furry friend may need 🤍 Currently a SAHM so I have free time all the time and am very flexible with whatever hours you may or may not need! Available whenever and wherever I have a fenced in yard, 4 friendly dogs and a lot of toys and treats to spoil your loved ones! I treat every animal that comes into my home just like they’re my own 🤍
About: I have a love of all dogs, I have three of my own (bichòn frisèe, beagle lab mix, and a German shepherd) so I have experience caring for dogs of all size. I am passionate about treating animals with respect and care as if they are family and helping in anyway I can. I am an active duty military member so working with dogs offers a win, win situation for the owners, pets and me. The owners get peace of mind that their furry friend(s) is well taken care of, the pets get my unconditional attention, care and love and I get an opportunity to destress ( by doing drop ins where I feed, pet and play with the dog), and exercise. I can’t wait! I work about 5 minutes away from home so I often stop by throughout the day for bathroom breaks and play time. I also have the ability to work from home. I always treat pets and homes with cars and respect. Timeliness is included in said respect so I will ensure to be on time and prompt.
About: With over five years of professional experience working in dog training, boarding, and grooming facilities, I have developed a strong understanding of canine care and behavior. I have also volunteered extensively with animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs and cats from a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and learning their unique personality, routines, and preferences. I believe that by providing personalized care I can help your pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Throughout my life, I have cared for and pet sat a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, birds, and reptiles. I am comfortable caring for animals with different needs and personalities, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and provide them with reliable, loving care! As a stay at home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. My husband is currently stationed at Dyess, so we’re still fairly new to the area and I’m excited to get to know the community and meet some new furry friends along the way! I’m currently taking online classes, which gives me the flexibility to plan my days around pet sitting visits, walks, playtime, and whatever care your pets need. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since we already have two dogs of our own, we are currently at our home’s pet limit and unfortunately aren’t able to accommodate overnight stays for additional pets. I would be more than happy to provide drop in visits and care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. I’m happy to stop by for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra companionship and attention while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family and friends. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to dogs of different sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s regular routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet safe and comfortable, provide fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and attention, and send photo updates so you know they’re doing well.
About: When I was younger I had my own business taking care of pets and house sitting. I’ve always had dogs in my family since I was born and sleep with them every night. I grow up with my pets and see them at all their lows and can handle any situation they throw at me. As of right now, I’m free from 1-3:30 and anytime after 5 from Monday - Thursday. Friday I’m caught up in football until the season ends. On the weekends I’m free all the time. I have a fenced yard and a perfect pet friend to stay by their side. My whole family enjoys dogs and they’re treated like family here.
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I adore my pets and any dog/cat I meet. I love taking my dog on a walk and making sure she’s bathed frequently. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency with feeding, bathroom breaks, and walks. I understand how important routine is for animals, so I make sure their needs are met on time every day. I also plan ahead and arrive early to ensure I have enough time to get them settled, give them attention, and stick to their regular schedule without rushing. Whether in my own home or a client’s, I care for pets by following a consistent routine to each animal’s specific needs. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, and providing regular bathroom breaks.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was nine years old! I have pretty good understanding of how to best care for dogs and cats from small to big. I’ve also always been the “can you wash the dogs” person in my family, so if you need your dog to get a wash when I go see them, I can definitely do that too! Since I just graduated from college, I do have a more open day time schedule during the week, and my weekends have opened up a lot more. There will absolutely be no trouble with taking care of your doggos and cats week days from 11am-4pm and weekends from 12-5pm! At my house I do have a fenced in backyard, and a big neighborhood to walk the dogs through so they get thorough walk time! I also can crate your dog before I leave so they don’t run wild in the house, if you needed that!
About: I've always had an animal, whether it be a dog, or a cat or even a gerbil. I get that their family, and I love them all. Just moved to the area, my husband is working full time and I’m doing my masters online. I’m available any time! I have a 4 yr old Persian cream puff cat named Yeti who loves everyone, human and not! I love all animals! I have cared for Yorkies to Great Danes and every size in between. I understand the hard work it takes to make pets feel comfortable. Whatever accommodations need to be made in your home to ensure your pets feel safe & comfortable, I am happy to abide by.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abilene
Mia was AMAZING!!! I had a kitty with anxiety hiding and she was able to give him his medication and get him to relax. She went the extra mile to sit on the floor and watch him eat it. She also was concerned and that made me very happy. Mia is a wonderful, caring person and we will b using her every time I need a pet sitter.
We used Heather as our regular Rover was not available and now I’m going to have to switch between the two every other time we need someone bc they are both so great! What I loved about Heather is that she figured stuff out on her own. We met once and went over everything but I said I would leave a print out and I went and forgot but she only messaged me once the 10 days we were gone to ask a question. She took initiative and if there’s one thing I love is when people take initiative. She also left me notes after each visit which I’m not used to getting so I enjoyed reading those. I came home to clean litter boxes, full water bowls, and six happy fur babies. Would highly recommend Heather!
Levi watched our pups for us last minute, and we’re so thankful he was able to say yes! He took great care of them and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. This was our second time having Levi watch them, and he once again made everything so easy for us. We really appreciate how dependable he is and would definitely have him watch our pups again!
Kimberlee was amazing!! Her commitment to the schedule and care for my little baby boy made me feel at ease about leaving him for a couple of days. Definitely trustworthy and super responsible!! I hope she is available Everytime I need to leave in the future!! Thank you Kimberlee!!
Kaylee did an amazing job with my kitties and I don’t feel anxious about leaving them anymore so we will be able to go on a lot more trips in the future! She made sure they were fed and happy played with them a whole bunch and sent plenty of photos! I can’t recommend her enough

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.

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.

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.
