“Pamela did an excellent job house sitting with Oxy. Both my home and my fur baby were cared for perfectly in my absence. I will definitely be using Pamela again in the future.”
About: I’ve cared and watched over many different breeds of pets. I am a fond advocate of good animal care and strongly against abuse and neglect of any kind. I’m not biased to only dogs, but love animals of every kind. I’m currently working part time and also attend school, but I am not tied down to a 9-5 so I can generally work around things if need be. I have great time management and work well maintaining a schedule/routine. In my home: I will make sure they are well fed as instructed and get plenty of fresh air and socializing with me. In client’s home: I am great at following directions however the client would like or asks of.
“Jacob agreed to watch our "Trio of Misfits" even though they usually only watch 2 dogs at a time. I like the fact that he takes the time to learn each dog's individual personality. He kept us informed by text & pictures how they were doing. He was willing to accommodate our special needs dog by rearranging some things in his home. We could tell he had spent lots of time caring & playing with them cuz they came home tired but very happy. We would definitely use Jacob in the future & would highly recommend him for dog sitting.”
“Chandler was professional and caring sitter! She stayed in our home and kept our puppies safe and well cared for. The house was clean when we returned (great perc) and she also helped when a couch was delivered unexpectedly. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs for the past ten years and that’s included six different dogs. I love spending time with my dogs, getting the best treats for their health, and playing with them. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant and going to college Monday and Wednesday 10:30am-1:45pm and then back at college from 5:30pm-7pm. Tuesday and Thursday I will be at college from 10:30am-1:45pm. I am able to spend full days with your babies when I’m off or do check ins on days that I am working. I have experience with crate training so I can do that easily if needed. I am able to pick up poop and clean up their space if needed. I’m definitely not new to cleaning when it coming to having animals!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, etc pretty much my whole life! I have siblings so the animals will be well cared for and have plenty of company! I currently do not work , I’m just a college student so I have plenty of free time to fit pet care into my routine! I care for any pets as if their my own, I wouldn’t want any ill treatment to happen so my animals so I would not allow anyone’s pet to be treated badly either.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Amarillo
Alexia was awesome with Miss Nova, my foster pup! She gave me updates throughout the day on how she was doing, and took her on a walk. I felt very safe knowing she was in good hands. The house was left very clean as well upon my return home. I highly recommend Alexia.
Roberto is absolutely amazing. He is the person I completely trust with my dog and is always the first person I ask to take care of Baloo. He provides updates multiple times a day and is great with communication and flexibility. I truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would recommend Roberto to anyone!

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 Amarillo 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 Amarillo 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 Amarillo 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
