“This is the first time I have used Rover. First time booking Mary. From the start, she was very responsive, met with my significant other to go over things for my fur babies. She kept us up-to-date, and loaded pictures which was very nice. I will definitely book with Mary again! Thank you for looking after Dave and Foxy!”
“Always our favorite. She’s provided drop ins and overnights so many times for us, I don’t even have to check in or wonder what’s going on. Shes reliable and consistent.”
“Hannah is doing an outstanding job taking care of Stanley for me while im away.. She is very responsible, she gives prompt updates and gives my boy lots of loving when she's there! I highly recommended Hannah and will continue to use her.”

Pet Sitting/Care is currently my full-time job. I'm always accepting new house sits and drops ins, l make sure to update my calendar every couple of days. I do like to do meet & greets before any new sits/drop ins, even if it's just a quick video chat. I don't currently offer boarding services but If i did, I would make sure to your pet is as comfortable as possible in my home. In clients homes, I will play with your pets, and take them on as many walks as needed for them to burn off energy. I will feed on time and keep your pets schedule as normal as possible.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, currently we have a 12 year old dog, a 5 year old dog, and a 1 year old kitten. I’m very comfortable with cats, they’re very sweet. I’ve been dog walking for the past few years and worked with dogs of all kinds. I’m a teacher so I’m off for the summer! I’m pretty much available any day! I’m just trying to get some hours in this summer to work on my savings. I can stay with your pet for as long as you need and I will be able to crate your dog if you would like!
About: Hi there! I have lots of experience caring for pets ranging from my own pets to shadowing at veterinary clinics in the DFW area. I am happy to help with walks and check-ins, and I am comfortable working with any breed or species. I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, elderly and young, and can accommodate special needs. For walks I work with owners to establish the safest route according to their pups needs in! For check-ins I can do feedings, administer meds, and play with your pup to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday. I can fit in walks and check-ins before and after work on those days, but Friday-Sunday I generally have an open availability for any help you might need. Each animal is different and requires their own unique approach. I try to respect this when establishing a relationship with both owner and pet. For walks and check-ins, I will work with you to make sure I can properly care for your animal! If you are considering boarding please be aware I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own and we will need to heavily discuss if everyone can blend together safely!

About: I got my first dog 5 years ago and have cared for and enjoyed him ever since. My family has also raised doodle puppies out of our home for a few years now. I've been woken up in the middle of the night, cleaned up messes, searched for dogs that ran away and been on countless dog walks. I love dogs but we've also had cats, bunnies and turtles. I promise you, your pets will love hanging out with me while you are on a trip or at work! I am currently living in Texas with my family until August when I return to school. My schedule is very open, I'm not working currently and I'll do my best to help you out! I can walk your dog as often as you need or run them until all their puppy energy is used up! I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Dog Sitter! If you're looking for a top-notch dog sitter, look no further than Pierce. He is reliable, caring, and attentive. My dog absolutely adores him and my cat didn’t completely hate him (which is actually a great compliment 😆)! It's clear that Pierce has a genuine love for animals and it's such a relief to know that my pet is being looked after by someone so trustworthy and dedicated. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up. I’ve had four dogs at the same time and I have always had a cat growing up. I love taking care of cats and playing with them. I think animals deserve love and affection and care. I’ve taken care of young animals and I’ve also taken care of senior animals. I currently have two cats who are 13 years old and 3 years old. I currently work full time, so weekends would be best or after work. Fridays I work from home so I’m fully flexible. Overnights stays would have to be weekends unless it’s close to my work then it’s possible for longer stays I have a home that my cats can roam around and everything is pet friendly. They don’t get into anything that is harmful for them

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
I had a lot of nerve to use this service because for my canelo he is like my baby and he has a precise and careful routine. but since my interview with mary I knew that he was the right one and it was the best success, the best decision, if you are one of the humans who take care of and treat your furry like the kings of the house mary is undoubtedly the indicated. I respect his food schedules, I share with canelo lowering his anxiety levels with strategic walks and he always kept an eye on his care specials like changing diapers. I am very happy with the professionalism of your services. thank you mary, professionals like you give a lot of credit to this application.

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 Decatur 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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
