“Nadia was perfect! We had a VERY last minute booking request (and I mean LAST minute (30 minute advance)) and she accepted it and did an amazing job. She was also very good with making sure all interactions were communicated and followed. She also took very good care of our babies and made sure they had everything they needed! 10/10 recommend booking with her! She also made sure she left everything how it was when she came in the house and that’s very appreciated!”
“Didn't need to worry about anything while on my trip. Even my nervous nellie warmed up to Veronica and came out to play. The photos were a nice bonus. When I got home found everyone in tip top shall. Plan to use her in the future.”
“Catherine is definitely a five star pet sitter! She takes good notes, is meticulous, and very punctual. My two little dogs loved her! She also gave very good feedback and updates on how well my little guys were doing and sent lots of pictures. Overall I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her care and enjoyed my trip without a worry. I would 100% recommend Catherine.”
About: Hi, I’m Kels! As a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of Paws of Fun, I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for your furry family members. Whether you’re on vacation or away for work, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are cared for like my own. What Sets Me Apart 🐾 Personalized Attention: I ensure your pet’s stay is filled with love, play, and plenty of tail wags. 🐾 Home Away from Home: My space is cozy, secure, and designed for maximum comfort and fun. 🐾 Updates You’ll Love: Daily pictures and messages so you’ll never feel far away from your furry friend. Experience With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand that each pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves playtime, snuggles, or a mix of both, I’ve got them covered. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend. Let’s make their time away as joyful as possible! I work from home, allowing me to provide your pet(s) with dedicated care and undivided attention throughout their stay. To ensure each furry guest feels comfortable and well-cared-for, I limit my home to no more than three pets at a time. I kindly ask that all pets be well-tempered and comfortable around children. Your pet will be fed according to your schedule, provided potty breaks every two hours, and enjoy plenty of playtime in our secure fenced area. I also require a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure the perfect fit. I can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friend! 💜🐾
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was little. I have raised and fostered puppies and kittens, and know how to administer basic aid. My home is pet friendly and safe for all fur-babies. I am very flexible with boarding times and setting up a meet and greet if needed. I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I have a fenced yard, a friendly chihuahua, and 3 cats who love to play with other animals. We have lots of toys, a cat tree, treats, and free feeding- unless you require specific meal times and special diets.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love caring for them like they’re my babies. I also help watch my family and friends' pets when they’re out of town, so I’m used to giving animals lots of love and attention. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family with me. I’m attending the university of the rio grande valley. However, I only attend on certain days and right now it’s summer so i’m free. I will make time. I will do my best to clean any mess the pets make and I am reliable to give them food and water and take on walks daily.
“Estrella is amazing in every way and really goes above and beyond! Very thorough, great communication, truly cares about my pet 🥰 thank you Estrella! And highly recommend! 100 stars!”
About: I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was a little girl. Sometimes I think we don’t deserve them 🥹 I have no special skills other than a huge heart for animals 🐾🩷 I am retired and I am available every day except for every other weekend I am out of town. I have my own transportation and I am very responsible. I have a fenced yard and a nice big backyard. I own a 3 year old Labrador mix who loves everybody 🙂 and loves to play.
About: With over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and senior cats with specific needs, I’m dedicated to providing personalized care for each pet. I’ve dog-sat up to six dogs and two cats (in one household) at a time and have been trusted by neighbors to care for their pets for months at a time. I understand that each pet requires their own unique routine, and I’m always happy to accommodate. From special diets to loving attention, I ensure every angel feels safe and loved in my care. Pet care fits beautifully into my life. I have a very flexible schedule and work mostly from home while pursuing my yoga certification. This gives me plenty of time and presence to devote to your pets, ensuring they receive attentive, loving care throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and consistent environment where your baby feels safe and cherished. I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules and walks to cuddles and playtime — and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, emotional well-being, and any special needs they may have. I treat each home with respect and care, just like I would my own, and make sure your pet feels nurtured and at peace the entire time you’re away.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and know how to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. What sets me apart is my calm, confident energy — pets feel it, and they trust it. I’m strong enough to handle big, high-energy dogs and patient enough to care for senior pets or puppies still learning the ropes. Whether it's playtime, structured walks, or just good company, I treat every pet like family. Plus, I bring the same discipline and consistency I use in fitness and real estate to my pet care. You can count on me to show up, be present, and give your pets the attention they deserve. My lifestyle is built around discipline, structure, and movement — so pet care fits right in. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m up early, active, and love being outside — so walks, playtime, or check-ins are easy to work into my day. In fact, the neighbor’s pups and indoor/outdoor cats already stop by for belly rubs and hugs every day. Animals are just drawn to me. It’s part of my rhythm and something I truly enjoy — not just a job, but a meaningful part of my life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I treat them like my own. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent — routines are important for animals. At home, I feed my pups healthy snacks like carrots instead of milk bones, and I often cook their meals myself: ground beef, broccoli, and rice cooked with a little butter. I’m mindful of what they eat, how they feel, and how they move. In any space, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and part of the family.
About: Fellow dog momma and animal lover! I love caring for animals and commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! My lil girl is a spoiled 8 year old Sheepadoodle. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I currently stay home so have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I’m ready to discuss a availability with you! I have a fenced yard and don’t mind taking pets for rides. My dog is very friendly with both people and other pets. If needed I have a crate, dog bowls and other pet essentials.
“Margen was great! She responded quickly, made herself available last minute, communicated well, sent pictures of my pup and did exactly what I requested. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again :-)”
“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Austin Gardens Colonia
Thank you Karissa for taking care of my pets during my out-of-town trip this past weekend. I really appreciate and admire the care you provided them, your attention to detail, daily updates with photos, and thoughtfulness throughout the period. And thanks to Rover.com as well for the excellent service and updates on the account throughout the period as well. Best wishes to all. Rudy
At first, Max was a bit hesitant and unsure, but Sebastián approached him with patience and genuine kindness. He took the time to build trust, never rushing the process, and it truly shows. Now Max is much more relaxed, and he genuinely enjoys Sebastián’s company and their walks together. Sebastián is also excellent with communication, always keeping me updated and making me feel at ease. I highly recommend him—he clearly knows what he’s doing and takes the time to do things the right way.
Tyler is absolutely outstanding! He took amazing care of my three Labradors—Molly, Hunter, and Colt—during the drop-in visit. He was punctual, extremely professional, and very attentive to every detail. The updates and pictures he sent each visit gave me complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and genuinely caring with animals. Tyler exceeded all expectations, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
