I take of my brother with a dis ability in the morning to afternoon. Then I proceed to go to my afternoon classes. After I come home I have available overnight time for pet care. I will be patient with your dogs without a doubt. Many dogs have different personalities and boundaries and I understand that. But that doesn’t mean I give them any less care or love.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I’ve also had cats since 15. All pets deserve care when their owner is unavailable.

I’m currently a stay at home mom while also doing school. I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pets and would love to keep busy. Since I am a stay at home, I will bring my 2 year old with me but he will not interact with your pets unless otherwise stated. I am able to care for pets in your home. I will follow clear instructions precisely and I am also comfortable sending text updates, photos or FaceTimes if requested.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, he kept us updated with great communication, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he genuinely cared not only for our dog but also for our home. When we returned, everything was exactly as we left it—our house was spotless, and our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He truly went above and beyond in every way, and it made all the difference knowing our home and pup were in such capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely cares, we can’t recommend him enough. We will absolutely be booking with him again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, and as a cat owner myself, I understand just how different every pet’s personality and routine can be. I especially love caring for cats—from the outgoing ones who want constant attention and playtime to the shy ones who prefer to approach on their own terms. I have experience caring for pets ranging from just a few weeks old to seniors, as well as administering oral medications and caring for pets with special needs. I always do my best to follow your pet’s normal feeding, litter, medication, play, and sleep routines so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Communication is very important to me. I send detailed updates and plenty of photos so you know how your pet is eating, behaving, using the litter box, playing, and adjusting while you’re gone. I also genuinely enjoy taking great pictures of the pets I care for—you may come home with a few new favorite photos! My own pets are part of my family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave yours in someone else’s care. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. My availability changes throughout the year, and I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect when I am accepting bookings. When I am available, I am happy to help with cat drop-ins, cat boarding, and other pet-care needs that fit my schedule. Feel free to send me your dates, your pet’s routine, and any special care instructions when submitting a request. For repeat clients, please feel free to reach out even if you have a last-minute need. If I am available, I am always happy to help! I have a pet-friendly, non-smoking home and take introductions, routines, and safety very seriously. For cats boarding in my home, I understand that entering a new environment can be stressful. I give visiting cats time and space to adjust and never force interaction. I follow their normal feeding and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of appropriate attention, playtime, and quiet time based on their individual personality. I have resident pets of my own, so before accepting a boarding request I like to learn about your cat’s temperament, previous experience around other animals, medical needs, and anything that may help make their stay more comfortable. During our meet-and-greet, I’ll ask about feeding schedules, litter habits, medications, favorite toys, hiding places, behavioral quirks, and anything else you think I should know.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re my own! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority while they are in my care. When caring for cats or dogs in a client’s home, I will respect both your pet’s normal routine and your home. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, potty breaks, or other special needs. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I will give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I will make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure and will never put your pet in an unsafe situation.

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with barn cats and have cared for dogs since childhood, giving me real experience and a natural, loving approach to pet care. I work Monday through Wednesday. I can also work Friday and Saturday if needed, and prefer to have Sundays off to maintain a balanced schedule. Currently living in a townhouse with a small fenced yard. Living with three dogs, we have 2 crates we use when all occupants are out of the house.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, whether that be my personal family dogs or foster dogs that my family and I have rescued. Growing up around dogs has taught me how to be patient, attentive and responsive to their different personalities and needs. Helping care for foster dogs has also given me experience with animals that may be nervous, shy or adjusting to a new environment. I enjoy spending time with dogs by playing with them, taking them on walks and making sure they feel safe, cared for and hopefully having fun! Because of all of this, I am comfortable working with dogs of different ages and sizes, all are welcome! I’m currently working part- time, so I have a plenty of time for all of the beautiful pets, I hope to come across! I’m free weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I have a wonderful neighborhood and apartment complex that I, myself, love walking around. As well, there’s a very big and beautiful park, less than a mile away from me. I live alone so there’s plenty of room in my apartment to chill or play around. And if your dog likes to swim, I have an apartment pool that allows dogs.

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 Chaparral 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 Chaparral 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 Chaparral 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 .

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.
