“I wouldn’t leave my dogs with anyone other than Katie. She is super sweet with our dogs and very interactive with them. She is definitely our number one out of anyone we have ever used. We will continue to use her anytime we go out of town.”
“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.”
“Magdalena was wonderful in taking care of my lil Henry! She gave him a lot of TLC. Henry bonded with Magdalena on our meet and greet. I will definitely use Magdalena in the future. She is very experienced with animals and it shows. She is fabulous!”
“Alexia was so wonderful with my crew! She took care of them like her own, kept me updated, and was just so kind with them. I would recommend her to anyone! I have 2 working K9s and she did phenomenal with them- sh is now one of their favorite humans 🥰”
“Sam was amazing. She sent picture and text updates daily. She was communicative and followed our instructions for the pups as well. We have had a few “iffy” dog sitters on here, and it was so nice to find someone that is professional and reliable and takes our care instructions to heart. The dogs also loved her and I know she was a comforting presence while we were away. We would definitely request Sam again in the future!”
“Kaley was a life saver! We had originally booked another sitter, but had to find a new one in the middle of our booking due to an incident that happened. We were out of state, so not only was Kaley willing and able to take our dogs on such short notice, but she even went and picked them up herself from the other sitter. She sent me photo updates daily, and even sent us home with a little gift! She was so sweet and easy to work with, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“My dogs rarely like new people so I was concerned about how they would act but they immediately liked Haley upon meeting her and they were well behaved during my 3 days away from home. If I ever need another sitter for them, I would definitely try to book Haley again, she was great!”
“Goose took to Caroline, great. He is a golden retriever and doodle mix. Only setbacks- was goose was less alone for 8/hrs. He’s 14 weeks old and has the highest energy level. I would like someone who could give a good walk twice a day. That was nothing her fault— she helped out at the last minute. I haven’t been home yet…..”
“Robert did so good with our fur babies. From the moment he first met them, I knew they were in good hands. He followed our instructions and even went the extra mile. We can’t wait to use Robert again when we are out of town.”
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.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 6+ years! I have 3+ years of veterinary background at Texas A&M University and additional vet pharmacy experience from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. I have experience administering medications including pilling and house-sitting! I am currently on remote rotation for my Pharm.D. program, so I am very flexible in my hours throughout the week! I am willing to stop by or stay to house-sit as well. I am in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit in your home, house-sit, or wherever you need it. I can also come in and let out the pets for potty breaks, or administer medications.
About: I have been around dogs in the home since I was little and have experience in both dog kennels and vet offices, which trained me in how to handle dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. This background and experience taught me a lot about how to adapt to different needs and take care of health-related things like administering medication. I am currently a student at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center and I have a pretty flexible schedule. Being away from home, I miss our family dogs so I am always happy to love on other dogs! I currently have various school-related obligations for a few hours in the morning about 3 days during the week but otherwise have a very flexible schedule. I am busy in the afternoons but can take breaks as needed. When taking care of your dog, I will follow all instructions to make sure your dog is comfortable at all times in your home while you are away. They will get plenty of exercise and attention!
“Absolutely outstanding! Kept me updated upon arrival and departure. Sent me constant pictures and updates and was professional, kind and very thorough with their care. Would definitely recommend her for your pets needs.”
About: i love to think of animals as family, i’ve been taking care of many animals over the years and enjoy the time i have with them! i also enjoy the senior dogs and cats! i am current a college student for occupational therapy but i have plenty of times on my hands for any fur babies that need anything! i have a fenced yard along with plenty of dog toys and of course cat toys!! i offer small doggy pools if it gets to hot out and of course lots of play time!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
