“Natalie did a great job taking care of our Nora in our home! Our normal dog sitter/ house sitter was busy so we had to try someone new and we made a great choice. I’m always hesitant letting new people into our home but Natalie left our home in the same condition before we left. She went above and beyond taking the garbage out, taking sheets off the bed and starting the dishwasher. She was very communicative of Nora’s needs and how she was doing while we were gone. Natalie communicated her schedule changes as it related to when Nora would be home alone. We would recommend Natalie to other rover users and will use her again!”
“Aurellia was so great! I got so many photos and she really did care about my dogs! I was in Mexico so I was not able to communicate with her, but she asked my neighbor about all things she needed and we were able to get the dogs what they needed because she communicated so well!!”
“Jaclyn was great! Sent me pictures and updates without me even asking. She really put my minds at ease while out of town. Will definitely be using her again for any extended out of town trips.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! I’m so thankful we found her. Oliver found his new best friend that gave him lots of love & hugs, played with him, and took such good care of him. She kept me constantly updated that made me felt at ease while I was away from my baby.”
About: I absolutely love animals, I have grown up with them throughout my entire life, Dog's are especially special to me, I have had one by my side since I was old enough to know what a dog was. I would be a great pet sitter because I love meeting all critters and creatures and I would take care of your animal like my own . I have 2 fur-children of my own, Major Tom (Maine Coon) & Penny (Dachshund). They are my world! I do have experience as a veterinary receptionist/vet tech and worked at Southridge animal Hospital for four years. I am well-versed in how to do diabetic injections, giving animals their medication’s on schedule, making sure they have a healthy diet and exercise. I have a deep knowledge of animal behavior. I want to keep all animals, healthy, and safe and loved! Looking forward to taking care of some furry little angels! I have no problem spending extra time, snuggling and playing and just being there for comfort . Animals get lonely and honestly getting the chance to hang out and love on them and spend some extra time does not bother me at all! I would pet it for a lot of the clients that came to the animal hospital. I worked at and I do still see a couple from time to time when they need it and having a medical background with animals is very useful at times and an understanding of animal medicine. Hope to get to meet your loved ones! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies needs! I am very flexible and I was born and raised in Denton Texas so I know the area very well. I know where all the dog parks are. I can walk with them give them baths, even nail trims from when I learned at the animal hospital. I have a fenced in backyard if your pets ever needed to come to my house, I also have crates and my siblings have extra pins for their kids that work well for puppies that I could always bring over if need be and baby gates. I do also have extra leashes.
“Hannah is amazing!! She was able to come by on short notice and help me out. Highly recommend her! She gave great updates via photos and videos. She also kept in communication with me about anything I needed.”
About: I have watched animals since I was younger whether it was my own pets or someone else’s. I have watched many of my family and friends animals and they have recommended me to their friends. I currently am a student-athlete at the University of North Texas, but I still have free time to be able to care and play with your animals! I am usually more available in the evenings and most weekends all day. I’m very attentive to their routines. I am able to take your pet outside to use the bathroom. I am able to crate your pet if needed. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, medication, or bedtime routines so your pet can stay as comfortable as possible. I have a cat at my apartment that is able to keep them company.
“Jo was such a great caretaker for Ripley. We needed a last minute dogsitter for our holiday weekend and Jo really came through. Ripley is disabled and high anxiety, but Jo really made her feel at home. Frequent photo updates, detailed potty and medication schedule. I would trust Jo with Ripley any time!”
“Brad was amazing with my pup and took great care Of my beta fish as well. He gave daily pupdates and provided lots of photos so I could relax and know Alamo was in good hands”
“Gabrielle did an awesome job caring for our two doggos! This was our first time using Rover and she definitely eased our nerves and concerns with leaving our dogs for our family vacation. We highly recommend Gabrielle to anyone who is looking for a caring pet sitter!”
About: With my own animals I’ve had a special needs dog that required medication. I’ve had my own senior animals that required medication. I can do pets like rabbits, rats, birds, ect. (No snakes) I recently graduated high school and getting into the work field so I’ll have all the time to be able to take care of your baby. I will always make sure they are okay and comfortable with anything. I’ll make sure collars and leashes are on properly so they don’t get hurt.
“Casandra was a total blessing. Our fur baby took a little to warm up like any GSD would but by the end she was hanging out and happy around Casandra. She went above and beyond when a bad storm came through and cared for our fur baby, and also when she ripped up her bed and took care of that too when she didn’t have to. We will definitely ask her to babysit for us again!”
“Jo did a great job with my very demanding wobbly cat. She frequently has accidents peeing over the side of the litter box while attempting to hold herself steady. She will not use the litter box at all unless it has just been scooped. I have trouble myself getting rid of the smells from these accidents, but I came home to a very clean litter box and no accident stains or smells. She was also immediately friendly and not skiddish like she has been when left in the past.”
About: I have hands on experience working with dogs in a professional kennel and daycare environment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I am attentive and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I also have experience with senior dogs and know how important extra patience, comfort, and attention can be. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like they are my own and want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work mornings during the week and get off at 1 PM most days, giving me afternoons and evenings available around my classes. I’m especially available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also flexible with drop-ins and can work with each pet’s routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I also keep owners updated so they know their pets are in good hands.

This was the 1st time in a long time to be away from our 3 kids. Ashley was great. She send pictures of our fur babies and made sure they were taken care of. The acid test was when we returned. Betty did not want Ashley to leave! Looking forward to having her for our next outing.
Hillarie is absolutely fantastic! She cared for our two dogs and our home as if they were her own. She went above and beyond , getting to know our dogs’ personalities and left our home spotless. She is a thoughtful and caring human and I could tell our two dogs agree!😊
Oh my gosh can I just say outstanding as a last minute request he jumped on it pretty fast and I got her there within an hour or two and she stayed for 24 hours The whole experience was great. He sent me updates about her what she was doing all day long. I highly recommend him very caring Macy loved him🐶🐾

I highly recommend Taylor for dog sitting. She took great care of my dog Maddie when I was away for the weekend and even stayed at my home. She provided photos and updates of Maddie. I felt at ease knowing that she was being taken care of. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Taylor!
Amanda was absolutely wonderful with Gordon. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also handled an unexpected change in plans with grace and flexibility when my family arrived before I did, staying with Gordon until I got home and making sure everything was taken care of exactly as needed. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and the people who trust her with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and Gordon and I are so grateful for her help!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carter walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carter maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carter choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
