About: Howdy! My name’s Jordan, and I’m a dependable pet sitter who believes every dog deserves care that matches their personality. I’m comfortable working with dogs who take time to warm up just as much as those who are eager to make a new friend right away. I pay close attention to routines, body language, and comfort levels so pets feel at ease in their own space. While you’re away, I focus on keeping things familiar, calm, and positive so you can enjoy your time knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my time around the pets I’m caring for. I prioritize maintaining routines and being present during house-sitting stays so pets feel comfortable and settled. On weekends, I may step out briefly for personal commitments, but I always plan ahead and make sure pets are cared for and checked in on consistently. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is helping them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging with them through play and interaction. Many dogs benefit from extra activity, so I’m always happy to include playtime when it fits their energy level. This can be a game of fetch, light tug-of-war, or simply spending focused time with them. When playtime winds down, I’m just as happy to relax and offer cuddles to dogs who enjoy affection. No matter a pet’s energy level, I aim to keep their routine familiar and their time with me positive, calm, and stress-free.
“Mckenna does a great job and is very timely. She has helped us multiple times and I appreciate that she communicates with us on how the visit went and even asked about towels on a day it was going to rain!!”
About: I have had a dog since I was 8 years old and I grew up around many animals, such as cats and birds. I love to play with dogs and make them less anxious while their owners are away. I am a college student, so I am pretty busy, so I could not stay all day, every day, but I am happy to make it work any way I possibly can! I will keep a watchful eye on them when letting them outside and I will listen to them if they are whining and need something
“Alexander & Jaycee were phenomenal with Callie! We had such a wonderful experience with Alexander & Jaycee. From start to finish, everything was incredibly smooth and stress free. They were attentive, communicative, and clearly cared so much about Callie. She was comfortable, well cared for, and happy the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out was their flexibility and willingness to help at the last minute. They were so accommodating and responsive when we needed them most. It is clear they genuinely love what they do, and that made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely trust them again with Callie. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable taking care of them. I’ve helped friends and family with their pets, including feeding, walking, and just giving them attention. I’m patient, reliable, and will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time. I’m fully available on saturday, sundays, mondays, and wednesdays. For the rest of the week, I have a flexible schedule and can visit at times that work best for you. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very respectful of your space and will keep everything clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. Hi! I currently work for Amazon and have a schedule of four 10-hour shifts each week. Outside of work, I have plenty of time to care for and spend with your pets. I have been dog sitting since I was a kid and have always had a love for animals. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members, and I would treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own! I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!
About: What sets me apart is I have the best interest in your pet! I take pet care seriously and I ensure they are healthy and safe! I do have experience in puppy and dog training.

I can be available for weekdays however I work a job and would not be able to provide care past 7:00 pm. I keep my eyes on my dog and cats. I am careful about not leaving things out they can get ahold of and I am careful about their health as well!
About: I treat ALL pets like family! 💗 Hi! I’m Ashli, & I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I’ve had experience caring for animals for many years. Growing up, I regularly watched my uncle’s three dogs whenever he traveled, which taught me the importance of providing loving, reliable care while pet parents are away. I also pet sit for my other uncle’s dog from time to time, as well as friends’ pets whenever they need a helping hand. I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Ginger & Honey, & two turtles, Bonzai & Lily. They truly are my babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, & well cared for. I know every pet has their own unique personality, & I’m happy to adapt to their routine & needs. I can’t wait to meet you & your fur babies! I am very flexible! I would be more than happy to help where needed & I can always make anything work as long as I have a little bit of notice. I am willing to sit during the weekends as well! I will care for your pets in anyway you need me to, I go above & beyond to meet their needs & keep them happy. I also would love to be a new best friend to your fur baby 💗 I’m also open to meet & greets!
About: I have owned and taken care of a lot of dogs in the past 10 years. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted that I take great care of their fur babies! I offer overnight care in your home as well as walking and drop-ins! I am a self employed hair stylist so I can pretty easily modify my schedule to accommodate you and your dogs personal needs! I work 4-5 days a week so I am looking for something to do in my free time. I always prefer to have a run-down on how you take care of your dog and understand your personal routine with the dog so that I can mimic that to the best of my ability.
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! From being little to an adult, I have taken care of/owned all types of animals. Currently I have a Tibetan mastiff, a keeshond and a Pomeranian! I also have a 125 gallon fish tank. Animals have always been my hobby and I cannot wait to help give you a piece of mind that your loved baby is taken care of while you are away! Scheduling will be dependent on what time is needed. Care on weekends would be open to any time needed. Week days would have to be scheduled. I treat and love all pets like they are my own. I would ensure their safety, and make them feel loved while the family is away!
“I highly recommend Abbigail! I was able to book her for a drop-in on very short notice. I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and she has experience with big dogs. She was communicative and took lots of pictures!”
About: I have owned pets all my life and always hated boarding my pets due to the stress they endure thats why I offer my services. I also offer care for cats and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs ect. As of right now I am available anytime. Ive worked at vet clinics and volunteered at shelters. Ive taken care of senior dogs, hyper and young dogs. Also have administered meds to animals. Recently I have watched farm animals such as chickens,goats,horses and a Llama. I currently have 4 dogs of my own and 2 of my moms dogs. We have 1 cat. Ive had several dogs and 2 other cats in the past as well as 2 rabbits. I also have been petsitting since 2012 and have refrences. I do walks with dogs. I also offer nail trims, brush outs ECT. If you would like to know more please message me and I would be happy to answer. I do also have a Facebook page Howling Hounds Pet Care. Unfortunately my prices have increased due to Rover taking 20%. Please note i am willing to work with people on pricing if contacted PRIOR to services. I am currently doing this as my full time employment as I go to school for pet grooming in the spring. I am an owner to 4 crazy beagles so I know what it's like to make sure pets have the stress free environment when we are gone. All pet care is done in the client's home. This creates more calmness within the pet and less stress. They can be where they are used to.
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my three dogs. Two of my dogs take some time to warm up to strangers, and they can be kind of intimidating with their barking. She was so so patient with them, and they warmed up pretty quickly! She was able to gain their trust and give them all lots of pets and take them on walks. She was very thorough in her updates and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Michelle and I will be booking with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 394 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Collins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Collins. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
