“Katla watched our dogs for us while we were away for the weekend and was wonderful! She provided lots of updates with pictures and took great care of our dogs. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Abigail always does a great job. She loves my senior kitty, takes her out for walks, and applies her daily medicine every evening. Abigail also sends me pictures at every visit as keeps me well-informed.”
“Alex was great! We knew our cats were well taken care of and got lots of love while we were gone. She did a great job with everything, including their complicated feeding routine. We also appreciate the updates and pictures while we were gone. Will definitely book her again!”
“Morgan was great! She met with us prior to our visit to meet Gracie. She was prompt in responding to our request and questions. She took great care of Gracie for her drop in visit. Thank you Morgan!”
“Kelsey was fantastic with my nervous pup. She gave him the space he needed, but got him to eat dinner, and he even relaxed on the couch while I was gone, which is rare for him. She kept me updated all night and was very communicative. I'm looking forward to using Kelsey's services in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals longer than I’ve even been working. Animals have been a big part of my life and I know it’s a big part of everyone’s. My experience with dogs are more close to big dogs, hunting dogs, and pittbulls. However I’ve also puppy-sat and dog sat small dogs before. And while I don’t want to puppy sit again, I’d love to dog sit! I love giving dogs enrichment activities on walks and at home. So they will never be bored with me! Currently my day life is a bit messy. So I won’t divulge too much. But my mornings I like to keep to myself since this is the first time in years I’ve had slow mornings. But I’m such a night owl that anything after 3pm works!! My house doesn’t have a fence, which is why I currently don’t offer at my house services. But I did however train one of my dogs to be off leash with a good recall! The other won’t be allowed to do so. He chases squirrels wayyyy too much!
About: I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from a young age. From feeding and tending to animals daily, I gained hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve personally cared for my own dog for the past 8 years and my cat for 16 years. I’m comfortable with all aspects of daily pet care, including walking, feeding, cleaning up, and providing plenty of affection and attention. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, a consistent feeding routine, or just some love while you’re away, I’m here to help keep them happy and healthy. I am currently working full time but looking a part time work to pay off a few bills and save up for a family vacation. I have a fenced in yard and my dog is very friendly. I no longer have a cat but know how to take care of them.
About: I had 2 cats and a dog growing up! No pets currently but happy to play and take care of yours! Currently cannot watch any pets at my home but happy to complete as many home visits as necessary as long as you are relatively close by:) I am not currently working full time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am happy to discuss any extra care needed for your pet. I am happy to follow specific instructions/feeding schedules as needed. I will also completed any necessary home care tasks as wanted as long as discussed prior.
About: I will love your dog like my own! I have experience with many breeds and many different temperaments. I worked in a doggy day care for 4 years so I am very familiar with senior care, medicine care and feeding care. My schedule has currently opened up so I have more time to love on your dogs! I enjoy taking the time to get to know you and your pooch. I have a backyard for the pups to run around in. I have more than enough room to crate your pup if necessary. I have an incredibly friendly dog who loves other dogs.
About: Hello people of Rover! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, guinea pigs and a hamster. I’m still very passionate about animals. I have corgis and still keep guinea pigs at home. When I was younger, I volunteered at HAWS as a cat socializer and Elmbrook Humane Society as a small animal socializer and cage cleaner. I also used to pet sit for my neighbor’s cats and have cared for animals while family was on vacation. I’d love to connect, and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I can provide drop-in and walk service in the mornings, mid-day period and later evenings. I do pet sitting around a second shift job. I'm available all days of the week. We have 3 dogs at home, whom we provide with exercise, affection, high quality food and grooming care. We also keep guinea pigs, and I have had a hamster in the past. I used to live with and care for cats, as well as watching cats for neighbors.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals from fish to lizards. I take of care my own dogs and cat currently and babysit for family and friends. I currently have the summers off due to being a teacher. This allows me to have open availability all summer! I’m available for all services. I have woods in backyard and a dog park across street to provide plenty of exercise. I would take care of your pets as you wish. Anywhere from a hour walk to a few snuggles in the middle day, I’m happy to do it.
About: I have had dogs as pets since a child and love animals of any kind. I have cared for dogs and cats along with dog walking for many years, including puppies and reactive dogs. I have a reactive dog myself and have experience walking and caring for reactive and anxious dogs. I have experience with a prong collar. Your pet will be my main focus and priority and I will love them like my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and can be flexible with my schedule. Just let me know what you are looking for and I can make arrangements. I take care of animals like they are my own, they will have all of my focus and attention and love.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and I’ve worked as a professional dog groomer for over 10 years—so I’m very comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I’m also a proud pet owner myself. I have 5 cats and have been caring for them for over 13 years, along with my own dogs. Because of that, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets—they’re family. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with a puppy’s energy, giving extra patience to shy or senior pets, or making sure your cat feels safe and comfortable in their own space. My grooming background also means I’m experienced in handling pets calmly and safely, even those who may be a little nervous. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while your pet is in my care. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets! In addition to my grooming career, I offer pet care through Rover as a part-time service because I truly enjoy spending time with animals beyond the salon. This allows me to give each pet my full attention, patience, and care during every visit. I’m currently available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with additional availability on weekends depending on my schedule. I always do my best to be flexible when possible! I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort in their own home. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and any medications, and I make sure your pet stays in a secure, familiar environment. I’m attentive to behavior and will quickly notice if anything seems off. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Big Bend stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Big Bend 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 .
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.

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.
To find sitters in Big Bend with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
