“We can really count on tami every time she helps us with our dogs. Weather if its a week long stay at our house, or daily drop ins. It’s a comfort knowing she’ll be there.”
“Kaylan was awesome to work with! She did a great job caring for our 2 Yorkies, and we were able to get away for a weekend event with complete peace of mind, knowing our dogs were in terrific hands. Responsive and reliable. A great experience!”
“Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat, Luna! Luna is shy and has her routines--meds, supplements, foods, treats. Katie patiently managed them all while helping Luna feel as comfortable as possible with us out of the house. I really appreciate Katie's kindness and care!”
“Kandice was a great pet sitter for our two cats. Her communication was phenomenal and you can tell she has a real heart for animals. It was our 1st experience with Kandice and we would definitely book her again! Highly recommend !!”
“This is the first time we have used this type of service and we were very hesitant to try it. But after meeting with Patricia we were convinced it was a good choice. Our dogs took to her right away and eased any concerns we had. The pictures and report cards were great!! Next time we need someone to help out with our furry kids we will be contacting Patricia again.”
About: I grew up in a household with dogs, cats, and many other animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life. I recently worked in a vet clinic for many months, which gave me greater exposure to animal health and responsible pet care. I also cared for a senior cat for many years and gained experience managing medical and nutritional needs, administering medications, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I currently have all day on most days to do to drop-ins and dog walks! I am available after 4:30 for house sitting, depending on what your pups’ needs are. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow detailed instructions, including medication, feeding, and other special care.
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.
“Hannah does an amazing job. Communication is super easy and she really makes your pets feel like they are her own. She really goes above and beyond what’s asked and we cannot say enough great things. We look forward to her next visit/overnight with our dogs!”
“Morgan has been great letting out Piper our 1 year old golden doodle when our schedules don’t allow us to be home during the day. She sends pics and updates us about potty breaks. I would recommend Morgan to help you when needed!”
About: Ever since I can remember I loved taking care of pets. When I was in high school I created my own petsitting/dog walking business Happy Paws. I built up a client base in my neighborhood and surrounding areas. I have experience petsitting dogs and cats, as well as caring for animals with medical needs. I can provide daily care as well as overnight care for your pet. For one year I also worked as a kennel assistant at a vets office. As a kennel assistant, I cared for max 12 dogs in the boarding center. While dogs were in boarding I provided daily care, cleaned kennels, and gave baths as needed. I used to have a dog and grew up with 4 cats in my house. I love taking care of all pets and animals (including chickens)! I am currently a recent graduate of Northern Illinois University. I am able to provide care for your pet during the day and overnight. During the weekday I am available dependent on my work schedule. I work split shifts so mid day care may be arranged. My evening availability is open past 6pm, please reach out for more details. My weekend availability is dependent on certain dates set, please reach out for more details. I am unable to provide care for pets inside my own home, but am willing to spend time in your own home to care for your pet. I have experience providing overnight care for dogs. I abide by all guidelines and instructions set in place and am willing to do a meet and greet before I spend time caring for your pet.

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.
Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat, Luna! Luna is shy and has her routines--meds, supplements, foods, treats. Katie patiently managed them all while helping Luna feel as comfortable as possible with us out of the house. I really appreciate Katie's kindness and care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Big Bend is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 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 October 2026, there are 2,424 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Big Bend. 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 .
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 , 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
