“Tami was always right on time. All of my animals were comfortable with her. She did a great job with all of them. This was the first time we have left our fur babies with someone they didn't already know. We were nervous but now we are at ease as long as Tami is available.”

“Jackie was fantastic! She communicated clearly and consistently, which made the whole experience stress-free. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our pets—they were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we returned. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away knowing they were in such capable hands!”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
“Kam did a great job checking in on our cat over the Thanksgiving holiday. She responded to our request for a cat sitter very quickly. We loved that she spent time with our cat — that made us feel much better that we had chosen the right person to take care of him. When we need a cat sitter, we will be contacting Kam again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for around 30 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to love and care for their sweet animals! I am currently working part time, so that leaves me lots of time to spend with your animals. Mornings, later afternoons, evenings and weekends are open. I live on 3 acres with plenty of room to roam and run around! I also have four children who will happily love and play with your sweet animals.
About: Hey there! I'm Ashley, and welcome to my furry world! Starting out with cats and dogs, I also took interest in many exotic animals, aquatic life, and farm animals. Caring for animals has been my lifelong hobby and love. I previously was a private dog trainer, and in addition to caring for my personal pets, I volunteer at various places with my certified therapy dog. Though currently a healthcare professional, I am also a ranger with the WI DNR. If you're looking for a casual buddy or a longtime friend for your furry (or hairless) one, I'm always here. Have a "special" friend? Temperament issues? Medical needs? Need me to sing the song of their people to get them to eat? No problem. Pets rule their kingdom as they see fit (or at least mine do) and I'd like to make their time away from you just as comfortable. There really is not much you can ask of me that I haven't already done or wouldn't do for your pet. Shoot me a message :) Pet care is a rewarding part of my daily routine. I make sure to structure my day around providing the best care for the pets I look after. I try to be as flexible as possible with my free time, and can often accept last minute requests. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while maintaining their usual routine. For dog walks, I ensure they get plenty of exercise while sticking to their preferred route or pace. For overnight stays or house sitting, I provide companionship, keep them fed, give medications if needed, and stick to their daily schedule; whether it’s playtime, walks, or rest. I also make sure to keep the house tidy and secure. Communication is key, so I’ll send updates and pictures to keep you informed about your pet’s wellbeing.

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!
“Lilyan was awesome! :) This was my first time using rover and I was super nervous but she really made it easy. She left detailed notes and sent over great photos making the process 10X easier. I also thought it was really sweet that she picked up after the dogs and I could tell in the photos they were out of breathe from playing during her stops at the house. Thank you a million Lilyan and would definitely choose you again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Big Bend
Tami did an excellent job caring for both my cats who have medical needs. My older cat is a diabetic with severe skin issues requiring multiple medications on an alternating schedule in addition to her twice a day insulin. She did a good job asking questions and making sure Kitten got the medications she needed on the correct schedule. She successfully gave both oral and injection medication and Kitten was in great shape when I got back (which is not always the case after a vacation due to her detailed care needs). There were some minor things that came up but those were mostly me being very particular about some specifics and in the end, were not that important and didn't affect the care of the cats. The house was clean and the cat food and litter box trash taken out, which I appreciated.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Big Bend. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
