“Sabrina was a great sitter. You can tell she is an animal lover. Our cats are usually nervous around new people but they loved Sabrina immediately. She left detailed notes every day and sent great photos. She took the time to spend 1:1 time with eat cat and made sure they felt loved. Thank you Sabrina!”
About: I’ve been around pets all my life! I’ve never lived in a house that did not have a dog or cat present, and it just doesn’t feel like home without one! I’m currently an owner of a 7 year old cat myself, but I’ve always been around dogs of all ages and sizes! I frequently pet sit and stay overnight for family members, as well. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 am-4:30 pm, but I do have an hour lunch break from 11:30 am-12:30 pm, which I can use to check on your pet, take them on a short walk, play, or feed them (if needed!) I do not work on the weekends, so I am 100% available to stay overnight Friday-Saturday and make sure everything is good to go before I leave on Sunday! Before I leave and while I’m there, I always make sure there is nothing left out that an animal can get into, and I always ensure there is water and food that is easily accessible to them. A good play session is something I like to do to make sure they were given enough attention before I leave, or, for dogs, I take them on a short walk to get some of that energy out!
“Tereza did such a great job taking care of my three cats! She took direction well and was easy to talk to and explain all of the intricacies with my home and cats needs. I really appreciate Tereza going above and beyond and scheduling a meet & greet with us beforehand! Definitely recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you!”
About: I' have had dogs and cats my entire life most living 17 to 20yrs. old and I'll care for yours like they are my own. I'm retired from 25yrs of Information Technology so im available any time any day of the week. It would be my pleasure to care for your fur babies My pets are my babies and part of the family as are yours. I will treat them as they are my fur babies as well
About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.
About: I’ve had a pet for 9 years. My dog’s name was Nayla and she currently lives with my family. I always walked Nayla because she was part blue heeler/ part husky which means she had a lot of energy. I work a 9-5 job and I live with roommates. I can care for your best friend on Saturday & Sunday. I won’t be able to board dogs since I live with roommates. However I can house sit, drop in visits and walk your dog. I work a 9-5 job and I live with roommates. I can care for your best friend on Saturday & Sunday. I can housesit as well! I won’t be able to board dogs since I live with roommates.
About: I've been taking care of pets since 2022! I am flexible when it comes to drop-in visits and dog-walking! I have cared for my neighbors' and family friends' pets as I care for my own! Looking forward to working with you! I am currently a graduate student at UT Arlington in their social work program. I intern at Methodist Dallas Medical Center three times a week, and I work part time the rest of the week/ weekend. My schedule often varies, but I will make sure to keep my calendar updated each month. If certain times don't work for you, just let me know! I am very flexible! I have a Belgian Malinois (Star) that I walk often because of her endless energy! I enjoy playing with her whenever I am home from my internship or class. Not only will I conduct the necessities for your pet, but I will also make sure I put all my love and care into them!
“Excellent sitter! Provided regular updates with pictures and communicated clearly throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were well cared for. Paris was kind enough to help with small favor such as bringing the packages inside etc. Would definitely book her again! Thank you Paris!”
“I cannot recommend Winta enough, she was caring, funny and absolutely incredible. 1000% will be using her AGAIN and AGAIN for any and all of my pet needs. From the moment she first met Bmo her energy and caring with him blew me away. If you are considering her vs anybody else book her, you will be so glad you did. She sent me daily pictures and even some videos along with detailed messages of how he was acting and what he ate that day with her. I have never felt so reassured that my baby was being taken care of and loved as if I was with him. Seriously BOOK her!!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars on here because she truly did go above and beyond and made my time away so carefree and easy. Thank you again Winta.”
“Our first time to hire Amber, & we'll most definitely request her again. We had drop-in visits for our 2 pups while out of town 3 days. Amber was communicative & responsible. She sent multiple photos & "pupdates." Most of all, our 2 dogs seemed to love her.”
About: Growing up in a house full of animals gave me hands on experience with all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve personally owned and cared for everything from a giant Great Dane to a high-energy Border Collie, so I know exactly how to manage different strength and exercise levels. I currently work part time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week! Because my schedule is open most days, I can easily accommodate mid day walks, or specific feeding routines. Your pet will be my top priority, and I have plenty of time to give them the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you are away. Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for your pets. Whether I am visiting your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I maintain strict supervision, keep them securely on leash.
About: Hi! I’m Erika! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with my childhood Maltipoo, so I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I also dog sit for a family friend whose Poodle mix I’ve looked after for since she was about four months old. Now I have my own Pit Bull puppy (Mocha Bear!) who I’ve been raising since she was just 10 days old! Taking care of her has taught me so much about puppies, routines, patience, and making sure they’re getting the love and attention they need every day without fail. I know every dog is different and I genuinely love getting to know their personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing until they’re tired, or just wants someone to cuddle with while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’d feel the exact same way with Mocha. That’s why I’ll always care for your dog like they’re my own and send plenty of photo updates so you know they’re happy and having fun. I’m currently a 2nd year college student and work as a server on weekends from about 8 am–3pm. During the week, my work schedule is very flexible and I have lots of free time to dedicate to pet care. Since I already have my own puppy, my days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure she’s happy and cared for. I’ll make sure your pup gets that same level of attention, whether it’s a walk, a drop in visit, or staying with them while you’re away!💗 I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful because I'd want the same peace of mind if I were leaving my own puppy. I'll follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible whether that's feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, or just making sure they get plenty of attention. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and have experience with puppies, including raising my own puppy, since she was just 10 days old. I also become quite the photographer when I look after any pup so be ready for regular updates and photos😋
“Shelly is just an amazing person - she takes such good care of our cats and we are so grateful knowing not only is she taking care of the cats, but she really cares about them too.”
“Jess was great! My fur baby loved her. She kept me updated and was always on time for her check ins. I would 100% recommend her services and will be rebooking with her.”
About: Before websites I would personally take care of other people's or family members pets. I would be given instructions about their pets and any doubts I may have I always ask the owners first. I am on a summer break from college, this is a side job I would like to have before I go back to school. Just trying to save up for the last few weeks I have. I make sure it is a grrat place for a pet to be comfortable in, if they would like to play or even go on walks i'm up for it.
About: Lifelong dog lover offering walks, playtime, snuggles, and in-home sitting. I specialize in giving pups the attention and routine they need to feel happy and secure while you are away! I am blessed to be able to work from home all week which gives me the ability to take breaks whenever the dogs need attention. I have a large fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if that is your routine, or they can roam free.
About: I've been to several dog trainings with my own pups and I believe I've learned a lot from them. I've owned and dogsat all types of dogs for my family and my friends. From the fear reactive to the sweet couch potatoes. I'd love to spend some quality time with your fur babies while you are away! I work a full time job Monday - Friday but I am available all day or night during the weekends! If you are interested in services during the weekday I will be available after 6pm most days. I have a chain link fenced yard with extenders for the jumpers. A big yard for your pups to run around and play. I have 3 dogs at my house to play with your pups or I can keep them separately with baby gates. I also have 2 large kennels if you prefer for me to use. I do like the small gates better for more wiggle room but I will accommodate to what you feel comfortable with. For drop ins I would love to play fetch or tug with your pups and/or feed and give them what they may need.

I felt so comfortable leaving both my dog and cat with Shelby. She took such great care of them, sent lots of pics, and was very responsive. I felt at ease while on vacay, and could really enjoy my trip with no stress. 10/10 recommend! Will deff use again. 🫶🏻
Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.
Shelly was amazing. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to trust our pup with when we went out of town. Shelley was reliable and communicated early and often she even sent pictures along the way, so we knew our guy was well cared for it is never easy, leaving your dog behind. Shelley gave us the highest confidence that our guy was in good hands.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Arlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
