“We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She took such great care of Ivy and Floki and kept us updated throughout each visit, which meant so much to us. It’s never easy leaving your pets behind, but Katie made us feel completely at ease. We came home to two happy pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again in the future! 🤍🐾”

About: BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL!! NEW DROP-IN CUSTOMERS FIRST VISIT FREE. NEW BOARDING CUSTOMERS 1ST DAY 50% OFF ANY STAY 3 DAYS OR MORE. I have been taking care of pets for about 15 years off and on whether it be my own pets or the pets of others'. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, giving medications, you name it. I have had a few classes over K9 Resuscitation and can perform basic first aid and CPR on your pet if needed. If there is something that needs done for your pet that I haven't done before, then teach me how and I will ensure its done while I have your pet in my care. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
About: Hi there, my name’s Trinity! I’ve lived with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and the gerbils that I researched months for before presenting my findings to my parents (they caved). Before earning my BA in Psychology, I studied animal science at TTU for two years in hopes to become a veterinarian. While my career has changed drastically, I still love spending time with animals and frequently volunteer with local animal shelters. I currently work two part-time jobs, one during weekday afternoons and the other on weekend mornings. My pets get their meals and walks before I leave for work. I am no stranger to a commute as a recent UTSA grad and as someone who is constantly driving all over town for work/volunteer opportunities. In fact, it gives me more time to listen to music in the car! I have an acre of land with a fenced in backyard with plenty of open space for your favorite child to run around. Our community is in a quiet country neighborhood, perfect for low-risk dog-walking.
“Very kind couple that went out of their way in unusual circumstances. They were fantastic with sending pictures and keeping us up to date with our dog Rocky.”
“So amazing! She was great with my dogs! I needed someone the night of NYE last minute and I am so happy! I have an older blind dog who needs lots of attention! So thankful to find someone who loves my babes as much as I do!!”
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
About: I have cared for all types of dogs ranging from puppies to elderly dogs, small dachshunds to great pyrenees, your dogs are in great hands with me. I am currently a stay-at-home father and have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your pets. Mornings to evenings are open availability to allow you the flexibility in your day while knowing your pets are well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, and a safe walkable neighborhood if your pooch prefers long walks. For drop in visits rest assured that your home will be treated with the respect and care expected of anyone providing you a service.
“Amanda is fantastic! She was communicative, on time and we could tell from the pictures that McCoy enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Amanda, we hope to book with you again!”
“Honestly amazing! I was out of town when I noticed through our cameras that the autofeeder I had for the stray cats wasn't dispensing any food. It was a sudden request but Ashley was able to unjam the feeder and also offered to buy and refill the food when the food ran out. They even hid a package for me that was delivered while I was away so it wasn't stolen. For my first time using Rover I am highly impressed and thankful for Ashley. They additionally provide live updates and pictures during visits which is much appreciated. My request didn't require direct interaction with the cats but I think this is a reflection for how capable and reliable they are.”
“Becky went above and beyond, she was able to fit me into her schedule on short notice, and she came early and was patient with my pup, even as she was struggling to get used to a new sitter. Becky gave lots of treats and love to my fur baby, and communicated with me throughout the visit, to help ease my worries.”
“Shelli, thank you for accepting a last minute request for a drop-in when I had a cancelation the last 2 days. It looks like Leo enjoyed his time with you as well. Im so glad it all worked out. I appreciate you very very much! Leo is also very thankful for the hugs and treats! I would definitely love to book you again in the near future. :)”
“Sophia is so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to book her for our pups! She is kind, cares about our dogs, follows our instructions super well, and communicates with us throughout the time she is with them.”
“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”

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 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 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 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.
