“Eboni was extremely professional, flexible and communicative while taking care of our 2 dogs and cat. She was absolutely amazing to work with! Will be booking her again!”
About: I cared for my friend’s dog while she was out of town, making sure he was fed, walked, and loved like my own. That experience showed me how much I enjoy giving pets the attention and comfort they need when their people are away. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I enjoy being active and love spending time with animals. Whether it's early morning walks or evening check-ins, I make time each day to give pets the care and attention they deserve. It never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy! Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep the environment calm and clean, and I always give them plenty of attention and affection like they’re my own.
“Isabel was a great communicator and took such great care of our pup! He was exhausted by the time we got home, which means he got in plenty of play time (his favorite thing!). Thanks again for your help!”
About: About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student. I have 22 years of dog, cat and other pet care experience to include pet walking, training, transporting, vet visits & pet/house sitting listed in detail below. I'm starting in the job field of Animal Behavior on completion of my college degree. My previous career of 21 years was in oceanography, & I look forward to giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Experience in DOG CARE: In the last 22 years, on the side of my regular job, I have been trusted by family, friends and new clients via word of mouth to pet sit for canines of all sorts to include senior dogs, dogs with cancer, high energy dogs, shy and nervous dogs, a Great Dane, puppies and multi-pet households. Experience in CAT CARE: I've been cat sitting for 21 years for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with swimmer’s syndrome, one cat in a wheelchair, shy cats, active cats, multi-pet households, hairless cats, indoor/outdoor cats, indoor only cats, outdoor only cats & kittens. ADDITIONAL PET CARE: I also have 22 years' pet sitting experience with other pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fresh water fish, turtles, geese and pigs. In my free time, I've rescued, rehabilitated, trained, fostered and been a pet owner to both dogs and cats in Texas, Virginia, California, Hawaii, Spain and the Kingdom of Bahrain. I have also volunteered at animal rescue and no-kill shelters in all of those places as follows: Humane Society, PAWS of Texas, Hawai'i Bird Rescue, Hawai'i Marine Animal Response, Rota Animal Welfare League Spain, and Bahrain SPCA. I am available for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation and moving because I'm a full-time online university student. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you, but I do not have the availability to board animals in my residence at this time. My goal is to keep your pet(s) in their routine with the same worry-free, stress-free care as you have set up for them for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation or moving. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you. I offer pet transportation in my own vehicle as well, but I do not have boarding facilities available at this time.

“McKensi was fantastic with our cats while we were aware! We had to book last minute after someone else cancelled, and we are so glad we picked her! The updates she provided were wonderful & she was early each visit! We will absolutely book her for our next trip.”
“Stephen did an awesome job sitting for us! Our dogs managed to get out of their run, but he saved the day by fixing the broken boards. He went above and beyond to help us. Our dogs were so happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend him, he is great with dogs!”
About: I’m 30 and have had dogs my entire life. I have two of our own — a 36-lb mini Sheepadoodle and a 13-lb Yorkie mix — so used to different sizes and energy levels. I regularly dog sit for friends, and often have their dogs stay with us while they’re on vacation. I am very comfortable having extra dogs in the house and keeping things structured and calm. I live in a home with two separate fenced yards, so there’s plenty of safe space to play or relax. My job permits me to work from home often, which means the dogs aren’t be left alone for long stretches. I also volunteer with the SPCA 3–4 times a month (10+ hours), working hands-on with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m a full-time realtor, so my schedule is flexible and I work from home often. That allows me to be around consistently and adjust my day as needed for walks, playtime, and supervision. I am active with our own dogs — take them to the park as often as possible and walk them 2–4 times per week. Staying engaged with them is already part of my routine, so adding another dog fits naturally into the day. I home with two separate fenced-in yards, which gives dogs secure outdoor space to play and relax safely. My two dogs are well-socialized and regularly exposed to family members' dogs as well as new dogs at the dog park. Because I often dog sit for friends and I volunteer regularly with the SPCA, I am very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and introductions in a calm, structured way.
“Courtney is absolutely amazing. She is so sweet with our crazy mini Aussie and our chi-Pom. She is on time, loving to the pups, and very respectful. Would recommend her to everyone!”

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.

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.

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.
