About: With over 15 years of experience caring for animals through personal ownership, private pet sitting, and professional in-home care, I provide thoughtful, dependable care centered around each pet's individual routine and personality. Caring for your pet also means caring for your home. I understand the trust involved in handing someone your keys, your routines, and your family members, so I approach every booking with professionalism, discretion, and close attention to detail. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide the level of presence many pets truly benefit from. Whether your companion needs daytime check-ins, overnight companionship, medication support, or extra supervision due to age, anxiety, or recovery, I intentionally schedule my calendar so every household receives attentive, personalized care. I live a quiet, home-centered lifestyle that naturally complements overnight care, extended stays, senior pets, puppies, and companions who simply do best with someone present throughout the day. Rather than maximizing the number of bookings I accept, I intentionally limit my schedule so each household receives consistent attention, dependable communication, and personalized care from start to finish. I specialize in private, in-home care for pet owners who value consistency, thoughtful communication, and a calm, dependable presence. My approach focuses on preserving your pet's normal routine while respecting your home with the same care and attention I'd give my own. Whether you're away overnight or traveling for an extended period, my goal is to provide the kind of care that allows you to leave with genuine peace of mind. Every pet receives care tailored to their personality, comfort level, and energy—not a one-size-fits-all routine. Dogs may enjoy decompression walks, backyard play, enrichment activities, relaxed companionship, or simply quiet time together depending on what they naturally enjoy. High-energy dogs receive appropriate physical and mental stimulation, while senior or sensitive pets receive slower-paced care focused on comfort and confidence. Cats receive individualized attention just as much as dogs, whether that's interactive play, brushing, enrichment, window watching, or simply respectful companionship on their own terms. Between activities, I prioritize maintaining the normal rhythm of your household. Cleanliness, home security, and careful observation are just as important as feeding schedules and walks. My goal is for your pets to feel completely settled while you're away.
“Elle was great with both out dogs and cats! She communicated any concern and updates throughout the whole stay. I felt very safe leaving my babies in her care. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little. I love walking and playing with dogs. I also love to give treats and train little tricks with dogs. I like to take dogs on long walks and have since I was little. I also love playing tug of war and fetch with dogs. I work part time only on the weekend so I have a lot of time during the week to play and walk dogs. I also love to meet new dogs and enjoy to play with dogs. During the week I have a lot of free time and enjoy walking throughout the day. I have a small inside dog that I walk often and I also know how to crate dogs if need be. I also have an inside cat so I know how to deal with both animals. I often dog sit family friends dogs that range from small pugs to big German shepherd mixes and have learned how to work with both. I also know how to give pill medication to dog s safely.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balch Springs
Dania has been so great this week with our baby Lucy. We lost our other fur baby last weekend and all been taking it hard, when we had to return to work we needed a sitter for our babygirl towards the end of the week. We booked with Dania and are so grateful we did. ❤️ Dania is so sweet, loving and patient with Lucy it’s means a lot especially during this time that she been hurting for her brother. She has kept her happy, safe and nurtured. She has kept us updated and asked all the questions to make sure we were ok as well during her in home visits. Lucy is a shy girl and she has warmed up to Dania’s loving vibe. She played outside with her and kept her happy. We will always check for her availability and trust her with the safety of our baby girl. Thank you Dania for you services!❤️🐾🫂

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.
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 Balch Springs 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
