About: Hi there!! 😃 My name is Lauren, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet. I've had over 16 years of experience with both cats and dogs, having grown up in a home full of animals and pet sitting for families frequently throughout the years. I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I have specialized experience with puppies and senior dogs. I also have hands on experience administering oral medications and insulin injections, as I cared for a diabetic pet for several years. I understand how important it is to provide patient, reliable, and compassionate care, and I'll treat your pet like one of my own!❤️🐶 If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!☀️ I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship for your pet throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily fit in potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific care routines between meetings. I love having a furry companion nearby while I work (emphasis on this!) and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for throughout the day. I live in an apartment so your pet has to be comfortable going up and down elevators and occasional stairs. I also live in a heavily populated area with cars so your pet will need to be on leash at all times and comfortable walking on sidewalks!
“Delia was very attentive and instantly bonded with our furry crew. She provided timely updates and made sure to follow all rules to ensure a smooth week of drop-in sitting. Thank you for providing peace of mind while we were traveling! I look forward to booking your services in the future!”
About: I've been a dog lover my whole life. I had two amazing dogs who have since passed away, and I miss having those wagging tails around every day. Caring for dogs brings me so much joy, and I'd love to treat your pup like family, with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and, of course, a few extra belly rubs! I work full-time nearby, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a midday potty break, a long walk, or some extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available for walks most days, including mornings, lunch breaks, evenings, and weekends. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. I'm very playful and love making sure every pup has fun, Whether we're out on a walk, playing with their favorite toy, or just keeping each other company, my goal is to make them feel happy, comfortable, and loved until you're home.
About: I have lived and been around dogs my entire life. I have experience around puppies as well as caring for senior dogs. I have had a couple dogs that are anxious so I understand how difficult it can be to find someone and trust someone to watch your pets while on vacation. I work full time 40 hours/week. I do not work on Saturdays or Sundays. I work until 7pm on Monday and Thursdays, but I only work till 3-4pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you have any specific questions in regard to this please let me know. I am able to crate dogs and I have a good understanding of dog behaviors.
“I have hired Jarlai a few times to watch my babies when I’m gone, and she takes really good care of them every time. The attention to details and how she plays with them makes me feel as though I left them in perfectly capable hands!”
“Kelsey was EXCELLENT! I had her watch my cat for a few days and he has never been as calm/happy when I returned from some time away than the weekend when Kelsey looked after him. She was so easy to communicate with and her responses were always quick. I will absolutely have her watch my cat again when I leave town for a few days :)”
About: I am a 10y cat mother, and have taken care of many cats for families and friends. Always arrive on time and play with your cats. If your cat is talkative, I can be the listener; if your cat like being quiet, I will set up everything quietly and be the emotional support! I love cats! I now do pet care as a part-time work, but I can definitely offer incredible cat sitting services: helping with foods, water, litter boxes, and your cat’s emotional support. I help clean and refill the food bowl and water tank, clean the litter boxes. Also, I play with your cats(if they want), ensuring they have enough exercise.
“Cassie was great! Our kitties were well taken care of when we were out of town. She was easy to talk to and get a hold of, and kept the kitties fed, happy and clean!”
About: I'm a 26-year-old lifelong dog lover with 18 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I started helping my family care for dogs when I was 8 years old and have independently pet sat for friends, neighbors, and family for many years. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and lots of love and attention. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I work remotely much of the time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. I have a reliable vehicle and can easily travel for drop-in visits, walks, daycare, or overnight stays. My schedule allows me to be dependable and responsive, and I always make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. In a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are hap.py and well cared for. I am attentive to each pet's unique needs and personality, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away
“I have used Dylan’s services twice and always end up extending having to extend my trips by an extra day or two and I’m very thankful he works out his schedule to accommodate and still come check in on Mr Kitty. And Mr Kitty loves him. He hissed at the first sitter I tried to get on here so I kept searching and found Dylan. He listen to the cat when the cat doesn’t want to be pet anymore he backs off. He understands how cats are. He communicates a lot and is on time and stays for whole visit. Thank you!”
“Sarah has made this process so easy and comfortable! My boy can be a bit of a handful on walks but Sarah had the best patience and care for him! She is very good with communication and sends the best photos!! Would definitely recommend Sarah being your go to sitter!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my medical background and detail-oriented approach to care. I am highly attentive to routines, medications, and subtle changes in behavior, which is especially important for senior pets or those with health concerns. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and monitoring recovery needs. I also have experience reinforcing basic puppy training, crate training, and structured schedules. Beyond that, I provide calm, consistent, and affectionate care so your pet feels secure, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which allows me to offer early morning, mid-morning, evening, and late-night visits. I intentionally keep my schedule structured so I can give pets consistent, unrushed attention during each visit. Whether it’s a breakfast feeding, midday check-in, medication administration, or a calm nighttime routine, I prioritize reliability and timeliness so your pet’s schedule stays as normal as possible. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m very flexible and always adhere closely to each pet’s established routine, whether that includes crate training, free roaming, scheduled yard time, structured walks, or specific feeding and medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is for reducing stress, so I prioritize maintaining their normal rhythm. I also keep homes tidy, follow all household instructions carefully, and provide updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Purrfect pictures are my specialty!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole entire life! I grew up with a cat and two dogs. My cat was a Bengal and I have a Yorkie and Cane Corso. I know how important your furry ones are to you and I would love to help you take care of them! I just graduated from college with my bachelors of science and nursing, and I am currently preparing to start my job at the beginning of August so I have all the time to take care of animals! I provide reliable and attentive care during walks and drop-in visits. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and administering basic medications if needed. During walks, I prioritize safety and make sure dogs get the appropriate amount of exercise for their age and energy level. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dallas
Jarlai did an excellent job with our dogs! She arrived right on time, stayed for the full 30-minute visit, and our dogs were clearly excited to see her. She kept us updated throughout the visit with great communication and sent several pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated her professionalism, reliability, and the care she showed our dogs. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!
Erica has been consistently an excellent sitter for my pups. I have felt comfortable leaving them in her capable hands for extended periods at this point, knowing I am going to come back to happy and healthy dogs. She communicates well and keeps me informed and I'm appreciative to have found someone that I can trust them with!
Crystal made my first Rover experience great and stress free! I knew my boy was in great hands with her. Crystal took great care of him, played with him, took him to the dog park, fed him and made sure he had everything he needed. Communication was great as well. If I ever had questions or vice versa she was very prompt. Will definitely be booking again!
I can’t recommend her enough! This was my first time ever leaving my dog with a babysitter, and she made the entire experience so easy and stress free. I was traveling to a new state, and she took such great care of my pup while keeping me updated the whole time. She was excellent at communicating, incredibly understanding, flexible with my schedule, and genuinely caring. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She treated my dog like he was her own, and I could tell he was well cared for and happy. I’m so grateful I came across her. She made my first experience with a dog sitter a wonderful one, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much for everything!
Kelsey was AMAZING!!! She agreed to watch our pup for a pretty lengthy period of time and on short notice and took such wonderful care of him. She provided frequent updates and was extremely reliable. We are so thankful for her and will definitely be using her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dallas stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Dallas 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 .

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

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.
