“Kimberly took amazing care of our baby kitty while we were gone for a week. This was our first time using Rover and I was very weary of leaving him alone with a stranger but he quickly warmed up to Kimberly and she sent photos and videos daily with a summary of how he was doing. I will definitely be using Kimberly the next time we go out of town and aren't able to bring him along.”
“Wendy has been sitting for us our cats for quite sometime now. The cats like her and she does a good job of giving one of our cats his daily medication. She also takes the time to play with them and send photos and a detailed report from each check in to show how everything is.”
“Mia did a great job! She came to my house the day prior to meet my fur baby and took great notes of all my request. I am new to the area, therefore, finding someone that I trust to care for my dog was not easy! I highly recommend Mia for drop-in visits!”
“Cierra was great! She accepted a last minute request to check in on my pups and did an excellent job making sure they were happy and cared for. Very happy with her sitting services!!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that animals just seem to love me, and I know how to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for a senior dog, so I’m experienced with giving medication and making sure pets get the extra care they need. Taking care of pets fits right into my daily routine because I’m almost always available to care for your fluffy buddies. I’m usually free and flexible especially with having school and work outside of Rover, so your pets will always get the attention they deserve! When I care for pets in my client’s home, they get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get outside for potty breaks after meals. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you.
“Tessa thank you so much for always taking care of Benny. He loves you! We appreciate the updates and cutest pictures you send. For anyone reading this, 100% recommend Tessa. She is THE BEST.”
About: I have experience caring for animals of different species, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also trained a service dog, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding canine behavior. I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and paying attention to changes in their behavior, appetite, and activity. While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop in visits, and dog walks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will communicate about scheduling to make sure their needs are met. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your instructions, keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, and give your pet the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't recommend Jackie enough for her exceptional dog sitting services! She took care of my dogs as if they were her own, showering them with love, attention, and care during my time away. From daily walks to playtime, Jackie ensured they were happy and well-exercised. Her communication was fantastic; she provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It's clear that she has a genuine passion for animals, and my dogs absolutely adored her! If you're looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing to care for your furry friends, Jackie is the one! Thank you, Jackie, for making my dogs feel so loved while I was away!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs continuously since my college days. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and way of communicating—and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alvin
Stacey is great! She is extremely responsive and reliable. She was available last minute to care for my dogs when I had to go out of town. She clearly has a lot of experience with animals and knows how to interact and care for them. My dogs require some extra steps in their care routine and she made sure that everything was completed for them. We look forward to using her again soon!

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.
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 Alvin 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!
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 .

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 .
