About: Hello!! I’m Brooke, a third -year veterinary student at the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine and a Texas A&M graduate. Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would with you. 🩺Experience: I have been pet-sitting for families for over a decade, and throughout the years, I’ve learned so much about caring for pets and, just as importantly, helping their owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and reassurance! Additionally, I have several years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, including working as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency settings. I’ve also cared for pets in boarding and shelter environments, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and needs. If your pet requires medications, I’m experienced giving oral, topical, and injectable treatments with care and confidence. This experience has taught me to recognize changes in an animal’s behavior and notice when something may be medically concerning. I’m attentive to the little things and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or anything that may need your attention. ** Any income will go directly toward living expenses and veterinary school loans, so I truly appreciate any opportunities, referrals, or recommendations. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to check availability- I’d love to help! 😊 ** ⭐️Availability⭐️ Weekdays: 7:00-8:00am, 12:00-1:00pm, and evening visits, typically after 5:00pm. This can vary depending on my schedule. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to adjust time frames and I would be happy to make things work for both of our schedules. Weekends: Flexible availability. 📸When you book with me, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages each visit so you always know how your pet is doing! I know being away from your pets can be hard, so I want to make sure you feel confident and at ease knowing they’re in caring and good hands. ♥️ 🏡 Staying overnight: For house sitting, I don’t stay overnight since I have pets of my own at home. I’m happy to come by and spend plenty of time with your pets and make sure they’re well cared for throughout the day—I just wouldn’t be staying the night. I always like to clarify that upfront so there are no surprises! 💰Pricing: My pricing is based on several factors, including current rates from local Rover sitters, my years of pet-sitting experience, my professional experience in the veterinary field, and Rover’s 20% service fee that is deducted from the initial booking charge. I always try to be very intentional with my pricing and keep it as fair and reasonable as possible while still reflecting the experience and level of care I provide. As a veterinary student, I bring an extra level of knowledge, attention to detail, and awareness when it comes to your pet’s health and wellbeing. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I always adjust my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. 😊
About: I have an affinity with helping those who do not know how to help themselves, especially those who walk on 4 legs and are unable to communicate verbally. I present good and calming energy that all pets enjoy. I work a typical 8-5 Monday- Friday and I am off the weekends. I am able to be flexible and I can complete drop in visits during over night stays. I have no issues checking in and letting your pets out during my lunch break to ensure they are relieved!

About: I’m looking to earn a little extra money and would love to help out with your dogs! I have lots of hands-on experience with German Shepherds and other strong, energetic, and sometimes temperamental dogs. I’m comfortable handling dogs with big personalities, high energy, anxiety, or those who need a little extra patience and understanding. Whether you need someone to: 🐕 Take your dog for a walk 🏡 Check in on them while you’re away 🐾 Dog sit ❤️ Give them some attention and companionship I’m dependable, patient, active, and genuinely love dogs. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to take the time to build their trust. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, feel free to message me! 😊 I work from home so I’m able to sit around with dogs. Also, I have a doggie door if dogs are experienced with it. Me working from home I’m also able to make it to other people‘s houses and work. My pets are spoiled babies. My Shepherd, Ribeye, even though very well trained can get away with most things just by his looks. We take breaks and walk around the block and enjoy some time out in the fresh air.
About: I’ve cared and watched over many different breeds of pets. I am a fond advocate of good animal care and strongly against abuse and neglect of any kind. I’m not biased to only dogs, but love animals of every kind. I’m currently working part time and also attend school, but I am not tied down to a 9-5 so I can generally work around things if need be. I have great time management and work well maintaining a schedule/routine. In my home: I will make sure they are well fed as instructed and get plenty of fresh air and socializing with me. In client’s home: I am great at following directions however the client would like or asks of.
About: I am a college student majoring in Biology, which gives me a strong foundation in animal behavior, health, and proper care. I grew up around a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and pigs, so I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My top priority is ensuring that every animal’s needs are met to the highest standard, whether that means maintaining routines, providing extra attention, or adapting care for puppies or senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have a pretty weird schedule. My classes run from Monday to Thursday. Most of my classes start at 8, I am willing to get up early to care for your animals. I typically am done with all classes by 4. And I normally have breaks in between, I currently have two jobs as well. Overall I am available throughout the day, mostly early morning and mid evening. I can work with you on times and all that. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment by never forcing interactions. I allow pets to approach me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and build trust naturally. When appropriate, I use treats and positive reinforcement to help create a positive first impression. My top priority is always making sure each pet feels safe, secure, and cared for just as they would if you were home. I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation for dogs through walks and playtime, while also providing patient, attentive care for cats by respecting their routines and comfort levels.
About: I have been dog sitting for years now! Ever since I was little I have taken such joy in taking care of dogs! I have two of mine and I absolutely love it. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to work or play with your pups! During the week days I don’t go to work until around 3! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly pups in my home! I can also crate train if needed or necessary for your own dog!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. Owned many dogs and helped out family/friends over the years! I know the importance of help! I am working full time from home currently and my schedule is flexible. Most weekdays I’ll be available and all day on the weekends too. From walks to drop ins, I always keep safety first. If we approach a dog on a walk, I’ll cross the road to avoid any interactions. While pet sitting, I will follow all instructions you provide and will maintain that your pets are safe.
“Kaley was great with my two dogs! They adore her now. I appreciate that she came over daily, as we planned, and walked my dogs. She was super friendly with them and sent me a pic each time. I look forward to working with Kaley more.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
