“Tammy and her husband were very sweet and took Bubs and for a daycare visit with last-minute notice when our previous sitter had to cancel. Bubs had a good visit and played with two other really sweet dogs that she was sitting. Tammy was flexible and very easy to get along with.”
“I am over the moon so happy with how Shannon took care of our Bailee today. She sent me adorable pictures and let me know what Bailee was doing through the day. I felt so secure knowing Shannon was taking care of my new pup.”
About: I am that person who just knows, where to scratch, what their favorite treat is, how to cuddle. Some how we fit instantly. I have personally owned and cared for puppies to senior dogs, along with ducks, chickens, horses, rabbits and small nocturnal animals. I work remotely, with a large fenced yard in a quite neighborhood. Currently I am pet free with lots of love to give to yours. My large yard is great for running and playing fetch. Because I have a pool I am cautious not to leave pets out alone. Because I work remotely I am able to continue with any routine set in place. Night cuddler no problem, crate sleeper that is ok too. I have plenty of space and time.
About: My name is Julia and I grew up on a ranch in Texas, having dogs my entire life. I love getting outside and playing with my dogs, taking them on hikes, runs, and swimming at the lake. Because of all of these experiences, I truly understand how a dog becomes a part of your family. Taking care of a dog requires love, attention and patience- traits I've learned from interacting with my different dogs personalities. I have no problem playing with your dog for hours! I'm searching for a fulfilling activity to do outside of workl. I am available during the weekdays since I work remotely and anytime on weekends! I can run with your dog, practice basic tricks, or even do a photo session if you are in need of some pet photography! I work fully remotely, so my schedule allows for a lot of flexibility. I have the flexibility to easily drop by to do check ins or walks if need be. Safety is my priority when taking care of my friends pets, and I want to ensure that all care information is fully communicated before I head over.
About: I've had animals since I was a child. We've raised and owned everything from horses to ferrets. We live in 6 fenced acres with lots of room to run, jump and play! I'm super vigilant about the safety and the health of every animal so be assured your baby will be looked after! I currently work from home, so going outside, going for walks, and having playtime is not an issue here. I have time to share love and attention! Fenced yard, air conditioned home, no kiddos, no smoking in the home, with one 8 lb Pomchi that loves to play and make new friends!
About: I am very time oriented with their food, well being and care, teach them new tricks and always take them on walks around the neighborhood. I always go on morning and evening walks as a pet owner. I have breaks around 12pm and 4pm if needed, which I use to play with the pet. I have separate rooms spaces, ways to make them feel comfortable. Separate eating spaces of needed. I always make sure the pet is always comfortable.
About: I have worked in pet care for over 2 years now and have had the opportunity to work with many different pets. I do baths, dog walking, training, playtimes, and more, along with many snuggles and treats ! As of right now I work from 5pm-5am So I will have all day to spend time with your pets and give them undivided attention and treat them as I would my own. I like to go on walks and I have a fur baby to keep your pet company! I also provide lots of pictures and videos of your animals to let you know that they’re safe in my care :)
About: I have grown up with pets of all kinds. It wasn’t a farm but felt like it. From dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs and a rabbit, I have had them all. I grew up in the country, lived in the city for 6 years, and now back to the country. Between my husband and I, we have 6 kids and 3 dogs. The kids are grown so I have more than enough time and love for your pets. I know how stressful it can be to leave you animals even for a few days. I want someone that will love them and treat them like their own. Let me be that peace of mind for you. I currently do DoorDash during the day, so I am available anytime to visit your pets. Whatever you need from potty breaks to belly rubs. I would need to know any medications or special care for your pets. I’m available to feed, play, let your pets out when needed. We can go for walks or just stay in.
About: I love working with all pets, whether it be sitting, caretaking, cuddling, trimming nails or grooming, I love spending time with all animals. Can’t wait to meet your pet. Currently working from home so I’m available nearly every day for regular or special visits. I am currently in school for veterinary medicine to be able to help pets further! I have two friendly cats and a small nervous but friendly dog, at any point they can be kept away from your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard in a neighborhood with walking trails and a dog park.
About: I have been grooming and pet sitting for 16 years. I own and operate my own dog grooming salon (Motown Mutts) . I regularly pull and foster from local shelters and have experience with frightened, nervous and special needs dogs. I have a ton of references and have quickly earned a reputation for providing excellent care in my area. My children were raised doing this and dogs that don’t normally love kids love mine because they speak the language. The dogs are very rarely left alone. My daughter is an LVT and handy for emergencies when I call. I can also groom them with advanced notice during their stay. We love our pet sitters like our own and become very attached to them. My babies usually run to my door and can’t wait to get inside. I am certified in emergency canine CPR and therapeutic massage therapy. The dogs will go to work with me daily unless I find the daycare experience stressful to them (older or nervous pups). I also have employees at my salon so they are available in emergencies The pups will be my pet while with me, we wake up at 4 am, have our meals and then head to the salon for the day to play. I don’t do a lot of playtime outside in the summer during the hottest times but we exercise in the evenings when it’s cooler. If there is an emergency I have staff willing to help out. I prefer no Sunday pick ups or drop offs because that’s family day
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life including a pet rat. For some reason animals tend to like me and I like them as well. I have had to put down three pets in the last two years, very hard thing to do. I had 4 dogs and two cats, sadly down to one each. I’m retired and available anytime during the day. If there are some odd hours it can be discussed. If you pet needs me to walk them and or clean a litter box that will be no problem. I will be glad to send photos during my visit if needed. My yard is fully fenced with rod iron fencing, if the dog is small they might get out but doubtful. I prefer not to keep your pet at my house at this time.
About: I have had multiple animals through my life, from dogs to cats to rabbits so my experience with animals comes from a variety of animal lovers. Im currently working from home so most of my day is pretty relaxed and not on a set schedule. This way I can pivot my routine based on the needs of your animal. I have a fenced yard and a 7 year old who loves animals as well so your animal will have a small human best friend!

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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Authon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
