About: I have 15 years of experience caring for animals, and I absolutely love them! I enjoy spending time with pets, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I will treat your pets like my own. I am a part time worker at J crew factory and I am also a college student at UT Tyler. I balance my daily responsibilities with my love for animals and will do my best to make time for your pets. I understand the importance of consistency, feeding schedules, playtime, and attention, and I will communicate with you to make sure your pet's needs are met. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, medications if needed, and any special needs. I keep pets in a clean, safe environment, make sure they have fresh water, and always supervise them appropriately. I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable with me and respect their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident knowing their pets are being well cared for. Their pets' safety, trust, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I've had many pets all my life, multiple dogs and cats. I've dealt with all different personalities with our cats. I love animals and have always had a soft spot for them. I'm currently a Sophomore at UT Tyler, and have two classes in person and the rest online. My week is pretty clear, my cat is self sufficient with her automatic feeder and litter box. I would take the dogs on walks, care for them throughout the day, feed when needed. For cats, I would make sure they are drinking enough water and well stimulated.
“Patti took great care of our kitty Lychee! He needs medication every 12h and he’s pretty skittish. She was very patient chasing him to grab him and gently giving him his oral meds. She also got along super well with our other kitty Mochi who is very shy, she was even able to pet both of them. We’ll definitely book her again when we’re out of town to check on them or to give meds!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life until I got horses at 13. At one point in my life, I was taking care of 4 dogs (almost 6), a bunny, and 6 horses. Over the years, I have lost some of my animals, so now I care for 1 dog and 4 horses. I love animals; I honestly can't imagine my life without them. Also, I worked at a vet's office as a kennel tech for 3 years. So I am very comfortable with anything that your pet might need within reason. I'm currently doing online classes in college. My schedule is flexible, and I will communicate if it changes. Weekends can be free, but I love spending time with my family and having my own time to do whatever I need to do. When I go to someone's home, I like to ask questions that will help me better understand their pet. I am very patient, willing to go at their pace. I am good at following instructions. I will be there on time, make sure they have everything they might need, and communicate if I can't find it, if your pet may need something, or if I have questions. Also, I will tell you if I see anything out of the ordinary
About: I’m an animal lover with a passion for caring for pets. I’ve taken care of and owned both cats and dogs of all sizes. I understand the importance of keeping them happy and healthy. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, extra health needs or just giving lots of cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I have a flexible schedule and can be made available if allocated enough time to arrange my schedule! Please try and give 3 days in advance if possible! I do live in an apartment complex, I have access to Dog parks and lots of grass and free space for them to wander and go on walks! I am a relaxed dog sitter, they are allowed to sit on my couch and bed with me! I have hardwood floors and puppies or seniors who are not pee trained are not an issue.
About: Ever since I was a toddler, I always been surrounded by animals. Whether is a dog, cat, bunnies, chickens, and so forth. I always had compassion for animals, so I’m trying to save up to become a vet tech. I currently own 4 dogs, Pekingese, Peke-zu, and 2 Chows , so I’m pretty used to the chaos. I know some basic commands such as sit, down,and leave it, so if you need help with that I’ll gladly teach your pet. I also don’t mind if your pet needs a bath and blow dry, just let me know ahead of time, so that I can bring my dog dryer and brushes. Thank you for your time and I’m looking forward in meeting you and taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed, so I definitely will have time in looking after your pet. I normally wake up as early as 5:30 am since my dogs are my alarm clock since they’re ready for food by 6am. I will prefer at home dog sitting since I have 4 dogs at my house and depending on your dog it might be overwhelming for them. I have slip leashes if you need help with corrections if your pet tends to pull when going on walks.
About: I've been caring for dogs for four years, I'm experienced and walking, feeding, and playing with them, making sure they get all the exercise and attention they need. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've had a whole menagerie at home, from dogs and ducks to fish and bunnies - I love them all! I am currently on vacation and dedicating my full attention to pet care. I am available for your free friends as my full-time job right now. Pets are most comfortable in there family home environment. Knowing their surroundings helps them feel relaxed and secure when I'm there to walk or feed them.
“Kendra did a great job taking care of my cats! She kept me updated and sent pictures of them, which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend and use Kendra again in the future.”
About: I have been so fortunate to care for and love on many dogs from puppy age to senior, both big and small! My soul dog of 16 years dealt with heart issues the last few years of his life which gave me the skills to track, administer, and monitor his schedule as needed. I have also had pups who've dealt with stomach and skin issues, so i am experienced in that aspect as well. I have a very flexible daily schedule as I work from home and spend the day taking care of furry friends. This gives me ample opportunity to give your pets all of the love and care that they need while you are away! When caring for pets in your home, I always ensure that they stick as close to their normal routine as possible to ease their stress. It is important to create a stress-free environment and a calm relationship between myself and your furry fam!
About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.
About: Having a dog of my own has taught me responsibility. In high school, I used to dog sit overnight! I even did dog walking in my neighborhood. I am a college student at TJC, studying Medical Laboratory Tech. I am also a shift lead at Dutch Bros Coffee! I am willingly open to watch any pets on my days off or even off of my shift! I make sure to keep all pets in my sight, and interact with them if so! Walking and playing with dogs is something I enjoy!
About: Experienced and devoted pet sitter with a heart for all creatures. Proud parent to three cats and a dog, providing exceptional care for every furry friend. I’m a full time student at TJC and I’d love the opportunity to assist pet parents, offering a helping hand and genuine love for animals to ensure their furry companions receive the best care possible. I would love the opportunity to be a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter as a fellow pet parent, providing the same love and care to others' beloved pets as I do to my own, ensuring their well-being and happiness.
“Amanda is reliable and responsive. Before our trip Amanda was helpful in explaining the process and reassuring in her demeanor. She took great care of my cats and communicated helpful updates while we were away. I will definitely call on her again!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
“Ebony is great! She communicates very well so she knows exactly what is expected from her. She even check on a non-pet related item for me when I asked. I came hope to happy and healthy pets. I will definitely hire her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bascom
10/10!!! Best sitter I could ask for! I’ve always worried about leaving my babies with someone else, but not with Jessica! She ensure my babies received some love when she came by, fed and gave them water, noted their litter boxes were being used, and even sent photos of how they were doing. The ease I felt to be able to be okay knowing they were well taken care of was much needed and secured Jessica as my sitter for all future needs! Thank you so much for caring for my littles!!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bascom is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 302 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bascom. 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
