“I trust Elizabeth to take care of my dogs when I cannot. She is has been a reliable and honest dog sitter 100% of the time. I’m so relieved to have her help when I cannot be there for my pups.”
About: Every furry friend, whether cat or dog, has their own personality, routine, and needs. When life gets busy, they deserve attentive, reliable care. My goal is to get to know your pet, learn their routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I was a dog mom for 7 years to Luna, my teacup Chihuahua, so I know firsthand how much animals rely on routine, gentle handling, and extra attention. I treat every pet with patience and respect, and I’ll send you updates along the way so you can relax. I’m also the go-to cat sitter for my friends and family. I’m comfortable with cats of all personalities, from cuddly to shy, and I know how much they appreciate a calm, consistent visit. Pet care fits right into my day. Gig work is my full time role while I build my online business, so my schedule is flexible and I can come to you quickly by car. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, extra playtime, a last minute visit, or an overnight stay, I can make it work. I was raised to leave a place better than I found it, and that’s how I treat every home I’m in. I clean up after your pet, keep their feeding area tidy, put things back where they belong, and respect your space and your rules.
“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!”
“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.”
“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: My wife and I have been loving pet owners for over 10 years. We have pet sat many times over the years and treat others pets like our own family. We also have a decently sized fenced backyard so dogs can play and roam in a safe area. I am a stay-at-home dad who does some work within my house. I can be home pretty much all day during the week so your Animals will not be left alone for any significant amount of time at all. I have a fenced backyard, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. I have no problem crating a dog if needed or allowing them to sleep in the bed with us. Our dogs sleep on our bed every night and most dogs we pet sit also join us on our bed.
About: I’m a graduate student looking for a lighthearted side job doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs! I’ve had dogs of my own my entire life and have more than five years of dog-sitting experience. I also worked for two years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of many sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and activity levels. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a graduate student. I have no classes on Fridays, and my weekends are generally free, which gives me flexible availability for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also enjoy getting outside and would love to spend that time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they need. I do not currently offer pet care in my apartment, but I am happy to travel to clients’ homes for dependable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and care.
About: Hi! I'm Sasha, an animal lover and a cat owner myself. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I also have experience caring for a 2-month-old puppy and bottle-feeding young kittens. I really enjoy caring for young pets and understand the extra attention and patience they need. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time for pet care. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and am available for drop-in visits throughout the week I always follow the owner's instructions and keep each pet's normal routine as much as possible. During drop-in visits, I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'll also send photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Whether your dog is big, small, energetic, or loves to cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. I know how important your furry family members are, and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them in my hands! I’m currently in college so my schedule looks like dog-sitting Friday afternoons - Monday mornings, potty breaks/drop ins are best during the week from mornings - noon! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable and happy in their familiar environment! I make sure to follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always adjust my care to what works best for them. This also includes any specific kind of care or action my client chooses for their own dog behaviorally. I also respect my clients’ homes and make sure to keep everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands!
About: I cared for my cocker spaniel Daisy into her old age, changing her doggie diapers the last few years while she was not in pain. I have a lot of weekend availability, and I can be home by 4 pm weekdays when I work as a substitute teacher. I enjoy being at home and would love to have a furry friend to hang out with when you need help. I have a big yard in a very walkable neighborhood and live near some nice trails. I have an invisible fence with collar that I could use or not, your preference. My home is cozy inside.
About: I have a deep love for animals and would love to turn that passion into my career. Rest assured, I will take excellent care of your pet. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets who need medication or extra help with walking, or those who may not be as active. Having grown up with pets, I have a strong understanding of various animals and their needs. I’ve also worked at a dog boarding facility, where I learned how to care for a variety of dogs, including aggressive or older ones, ensuring they receive the proper care, walks, and feeding. I look forward to hearing from you and providing a loving, comfortable environment for your pets. You can trust that they’ll be in great hands. I also have a 6-year-old and a 2-year-old who are both good with animals, so there’s no need to worry. A year of my pet care experience is from working at a dog boarding place while the rest is pets I’ve had and taken care of or I have watched my sister dog for her for years now on and off for her and I still do I work Monday through Friday until 12 to the latest is like 3:30 pm. I am home otherwise. I am a residential cleaner and since I make my own hours I can stop from one house to another and go home If I need to. I am trying to get lots of clients though so I can stay home and just watch pets all day or even be able to go out and feed others or walk them. If your pet needs to be in a crate I will make sure I always do what you usually do with your pet. I do let them on my furniture and bed and I usually cover them up with blankets if they like it. If they can have a little bit of regular food I will ask and give them some as a little treat. I do get pup cups for them as well if they can have it. My house is always moving around since I do have kids but your pets will always have a great time.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for dogs and cats since I was in high school for family members and neighbors. I have a background with volunteering at local animal shelters. My schedule is flexible throughout the week which helps provide plenty of pet sitting availability. Pet care easily fits into my schedule. I typically have several week days/weekend available for pet sitting. Typically I have my schedule 4 weeks out in advance or more. I love all animals and love to show them kindness. I make sure they get their needed steps in for the day. I also think its important to spend quality time and play with them.
About: I have taken care of dogs since a very young age.. I am experienced with dogs I’ve worked with dogs in the past as well as worked at doggy daycares/vets in the past. My schedule is relatively open so even if you need someone to come and walk the dog a couple times a day I can do that! I have experience with giving dogs medication and am able to help out with that as well. I watched a few dogs in the past that were seniors and needed special care with meds so I have experience in that category:) at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..

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 $24 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 2,382 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 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:
- 89% 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 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.
