“Alex is a wonderfully caring, kind, trustworthy, and responsible dog walker. I have a young puppy who is being potty trained and a geriatric dog that he came over to walk twice a day while I was at work. He came over to meet my dogs beforehand for a meet and greet and I instantly was able to sense how genuinely caring he is and how much he loves dogs! My mind was at ease leaving my dogs to be cared for by him. He sent frequent updates, including pictures and any questions or concerns that he had. My dogs each really love their time with Alex and we are blessed to have had him to watch them while I was away! I would VERY HIGHLY recommend Alex to care for your dogs as well. My two dogs and I are all so very grateful to him!”

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.

I specialize in obedience,crate and leash training. I also breed Cane Corsos I able to do it every night, and on days off, I work 25mins away so it is easy for me to come home and check in or care for. I treat them as if they are my own. I follow whatever instructions given for care to a T. It is important they are able to keep to their routine as much as possible.
About: I dog sit in the Southwest Fort Worth area with my dog Otis, small mix, that needs playmates. My dog has never been aggressive towards anyone or any other dogs, he's just to friendly. My backyard is very safe and secure, has a double fence all around with a huge tree that provides shade all day long. Also, a large covered patio with plenty of space to run and play. Inside, I have a large tiled area that provides a safe, comfortable place for them to rest. Please reach out to me anytime and give Otis and I a chance to welcome your loved ones into our home. Don't forget to ask me for my promo code for first time Rover users, a $20 discount before booking. I’m currently working from home, so I’m happy to care for your four legged friends all 7 days a week and more, if need be. I’m home all day so therefore I can provide as many potty breaks as necessary. I can feed everyone separately usually twice a day, treats during the day as well. I always send a text with pics and info as to how the first 24 hrs went.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,054 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Authon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Authon. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
