Tessie is awesome! She takes excellent care of Zoe. I get a great summary of Zoe’s day and she follows all of my instructions. She even modifies according to Zoe’s needs when it makes sense.

Ashley was great. This was the first time having a sitter for my 3 dogs. She had a total of 5 visits over 3 days. Ashley was on time & quick to respond with pictures of all 3 dogs plus 2 cats. I will book her again.

About: I've been working with dogs for 2+ years and love it, I was a supervisor at a dog daycare and boarding facility back home so I am doggy cpr certified and have certain certifications! I've worked with all different types of dogs ranging from xs breeds to xxl breeds. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their animals. I'm currently a stay at home wife so I would love to get out the house and get some puppy love! I am currently pregnant but dr recommend exercise to help with my type 2 diabetes during my pregnancy. I am available M-F between the hours of 11am-5pm weekends vary, but always open to discuss a certain day if needed! I have a fur baby myself. His name is Benji and is 4 years old. We have a pretty decent schedule, we wake up and go for a walk around our apartment complex every morning and then come back inside and relax, he gets his food and nibbles on in throughout the day, we go for another walk around the complex mid day and then he gets taken out again in the evening before bed, he gets treats throughout the day but not too many! We also try to go to the dog park once a week so he can have some off leash play!

About: I’m an assistant dog groomer who is around dogs pretty much all week. I could never get tired of how much joy they bring me just being themselves and making everyone’s day better by being the sweetest they can be. I’m just looking for something to do while I’m not needed at my job and I’m looking to start enjoying outside more. What could be better than to do that with a puppy? Quick checkups at home while they are unsupervised and maybe a walk, medication, food, whatever they need really. If anything is questionable or out of sorts I would alert the owner immediately.

About: I’ve owned all types animals ranging from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles. They have all lived long and spoiled lives. I love animals and treat them very well regardless of whether they belong to me or not. I’m a friendly and cheerful personality. I’m very patient with even the most stubborn of fur babies. I set walk or restroom schedules based on the needs of the pets and adhere to all rules given by the owners. I’m a very detailed-oriented person. I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and ex-coworkers for the last three years. I really enjoy spending time with animals and helping people out. It can be stressful trying to work or go on vacation and constantly worrying about your four-legged family members. You can rest assured that your pet(s) will be in good hands. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8 am until 4 pm. I’m available for lunchtime potty and play breaks if needed. My nights and weekends are free to give your fur family the attention and care they deserve. I do not offer boarding services as I have a kitten that prefers to be the only four legged creature inside of the house at all times. Just let me know what activities your pets enjoy and I will make sure to keep them engaged during the stay.

Friends and family have also relied on me to walk, feed and love their pets. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of extra time on my hands! All my services that I will provide will be done with care and love. According to what you dog wants and/ or needs I will move accordingly. Any guidelines and/or rules you give me, I will follow them with caution.

About: Hi, I grew up with dogs! I love them dearly. My brother and I bred papillons in Shreveport. I would love the opportunity to dog sit your fur babies. I have potty and obedience trained puppies, and grown dogs so there is no issues if that is a service needed. Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable choosing me as your sitter. I'm so excited to help you with your fur baby needs. Let's talk soon. I'm currently working Sunday-Wed. 9:30p-7:30a. Weekends are available. I am more than happy to keep your babies from feeling alone during the day during the week. If your pet is crate trained then I am your ideal candidate for the nights that I work. On my off days I will be with your pet 24hr to make sure they are getting the best care from me. Feel free to check my references. At this time I am not boarding animals at my home. I prefer to keep the animals in the comfort of their home as it keeps them calm in their territory.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Whenever family members or friends needed anyone to watch their dog I was the first person they’d call. I treat animals like people because they have feelings too. I’m currently looking for a new job so I'm free to do walks in the morning. I’m usually free in the evenings if ever needed to watch your pets at night. Whenever watching other people’s pet I usually ask how they want me to take care of them. Usually I try to keep my dog and the clients separated in the beginning.I’ll spend time with them equally then slowly work up to see how they do together. I usually walk Atticus around the neighborhood at the end of the day. I’ll walk him in the mornings and afternoon with him in the backyard.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Central on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Central. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Central stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Central 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Central with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Central. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
