About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities. I take them on walks and to the park and give them lots of cuddles! :D

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs and cats that I adored and cared for. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for friends’ pets whenever they needed a helping hand. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for a former client’s dog for four years before she passed away. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency, companionship, and treating every pet like family truly are. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to providing loving, attentive care while giving pet parents peace of mind. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets. 🐾 I’m available after 6 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and I’m happy to keep your pets company and give them lots of love and attention until you’re home. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends. Whether your pet needs some extra cuddles, playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’d be happy to be there for them while you’re away! 🧡🐶🐱 I provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and any other care they need. My goal is to give your pets plenty of love and attention while keeping them happy, comfortable, and feeling at ease while you’re away.

“McKensi did a great job, taking care of my fur babies while I was away for a couple of days. I would absolutely book her again! She was very communicative, timely and she did a great job sending me photos and updates each visit. If you are considering a pet sitter for your babies and you will be gone for a good amount of days, she is definitely a sitter you can depend on!”

About: 🐾 About Me: A Calm, Patient Sanctuary for Your Fur Babies Hi, I’m Noelle! I’m a proud cat mom to two wonderful fur babies, and caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy. One of my cats was actually a 4-week-old stray kitten that I successfully nursed and cared for, and watching her grow into the happy, healthy cat she is today has been incredibly rewarding. I also absolutely love dogs! I have experience walking dogs as large as a Pit Bull, including my aunt’s sweet Pit Bull, Zion, who I loved taking on walks. Whether I’m giving a dog a good walk, keeping a cat company, or simply sitting nearby while they do their own thing, I love being able to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. One of my favorite things to do with my own cats is sit on the balcony with them (safely on their leashes, of course!) and watch their curious little minds take in the world around them. 🌟 Specializing in Shy, Anxious, or Senior Care I’m very attentive to the animals in my care and tend to notice the little things—from changes in behavior and body language to their individual cues, comfort levels, and boundaries. I believe every pet has their own personality and deserves patience, respect, affection, and care tailored specifically to them. Because of this, I excel with pets who need a little extra time, gentleness, or understanding to feel secure: • Timid Kittens & Selective Cats: As a cat parent who has handled everything from bottle-baby stages to adult dynamics, I speak their language fluently and am completely comfortable letting a shy cat set the pace. • Anxious or Senior Pups: I hold a naturally quiet, steady frequency that is incredibly reassuring to older dogs or pets navigating physical vulnerabilities (like vision or hearing changes) who thrive on a predictable, soothing routine rather than high-energy chaos. 🏡 What I Offer Whether it’s dropping in for quiet companionship, sticking to precise feeding schedules, or managing house-sitting stays, I bring a reliable, observant, and respectful eye to your home. I naturally drop into a calm rhythm that keeps your environment peaceful and your pets completely relaxed. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets that same level of deep attention and care while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday- Friday from 8am - 4:30pm. I’d be happy to check on your fur babies after I get off of work. I work from home about 2-3 days per week as well! I am willing to sit with your cat or dog while I work some days if you ever needed. When it comes to caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. At home, I’m very intentional about creating a calm, comfortable, and secure environment for my own cats. I keep a close eye on them, pay attention to their routines and surroundings, and make sure they have a safe space where they can relax and be themselves. I’m also very mindful of doors, windows, food, household hazards, and anything else that could potentially put a pet at risk. Most importantly, I respect each animal’s individual boundaries and never force interaction when they’re uncomfortable. I’ll bring that same level of attentiveness and care to your pets—following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only being watched, but genuinely looked after.

About: I have 4 years of hands on experience caring for my own and others’ pets, including senior, disabled, and chronically ill animals. I’m comfortable with pets who need extra patience and attention, including medication routines, mobility accommodations, feeding and hydration monitoring, and changes in behavior or appetite. I also have experience with everyday care such as feeding, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their people are away. I’m currently offering pet sitting on a limited basis so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m starting with a small number of bookings each week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established feeding, medication, play, and care routine. I care for pets in their own home and follow the routines and instructions provided by their owner. I’m attentive to feeding, water, medications, litter boxes, walks, behavior, and changes in appetite or energy. I’m especially comfortable giving senior, disabled, or special-needs pets the patience and extra attention they may need.

About: Hi! I’m Roxana, and I’d love to welcome your pup into our home and care for them like they’re part of our family. 🤍 Get $20 off your first Rover booking with the link below: https://www.rover.com/sit/roxanr15345 I joined Rover because, honestly, I’d love to have a second dog someday! Until that time comes, we’re happy to open our home to pups who need a safe, loving place to stay while their humans are away. We especially love dogs who are affectionate, playful, and have a little more energy. Walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention are all things we genuinely enjoy. We live near a park, so there are lots of opportunities for walks and getting some energy out. Walks are always done with a secure harness, and we have two fully fenced yards where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. We always supervise dogs while they’re in the yard. Our home is set up to make visiting pups feel comfortable. We have extra dog beds, bowls, and treats (with your permission!), and dogs are welcome to relax with us throughout the day. We also love bringing dogs along for car rides when we’re running errands. If your pup is happiest being included in the action, they’ll fit right in here. I’ve had both cats and dogs throughout my life and have cared for pets for friends and family as well. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, quirks, preferences, and what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your pup needs lots of activity, a quiet place to decompress, extra cuddles, or a little bit of everything, my goal is for them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your dog isn’t just staying at our house, they’re staying with us. 🐾🤍 I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ✨ My schedule is flexible! I work from home 2–3 days a week (and even more during the holidays), which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine. ✨ Safety & Comfort First Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities. We have a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and I always supervise time outside. Dogs never go into public spaces without a harness and leash.

About: My availability is very flexible. I work from home now and am finally able to love on your fur babies around the clock! I also offer house sitting at your home or at my house as well. I love taking the fur babies out for a walk. It’s good exercise for them and myself to get fresh air. Previously had two chihuahua’s that were escape artists so fully doggy proof. I also have experience on working with handicap fur babies. I currently worked with a fur baby that lost motion in his back legs prior to his visit to me and he was/is now able to balance on his back legs from the at home physical therapy we would do. And now he gets so excited when I drop by his home to check on him (we are actual best friends seriously.) I am available to walk your dogs or check in on your cats/dogs while you are away as well as make sure they are fed and have plenty of water and play time throughout the day if you have an extremely busy schedule. I have been house sitting dogs and cats previously for well over 15 years and have owned pets previously (before my parents moved overseas and kept the pack together) for well over 20 years. Would love to help with your fur babies! I work full time as a manager from home so I am able to fully utilize loving on your fur baby as well as take them out for walks and potty breaks consistently. When I am pet sitting the babies sleep in the bed with me and are on the couch getting all of the cuddles. It is a staycation.

About: Fur babies are family! They need love and patience. Growing up I had a Pekingese for 13 years and then a poodle mix for 12 years. So I learned at an early age the responsibility of caring for the family pet. My first adult pet was a mini lob rabbit which I had for 10 years. It had some medical issues in which required regular care from the local vet. A few years ago I was introduced to Great Danes and immediately fell in love! Zoe, my twelve year old Dane lived her best life. She went to parks, family gatherings, car rides, camping. She passed away last year at the age of 12 1/2. I am not ready for another pet just yet and now that I have some free time I would love to give others the sense of security by playing, loving and caring for their pet. I'm recently retired and have a flexible schedule. With that flexibility I have the opportunity to check on your pets or provide over night care with short notices. I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your pet to lay in the sun, run, stretch and play! For over night stays a crate might be beneficial depending on your pets behavior and comfort. For day to day visits I will respect your property and pet and follow your guidelines to ensure our pet friendly visit is successful.

Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Penni! She was on time for every visit, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and was so great about keeping us updated and sending pictures. She took such good care of Penni with her potty breaks, lunch, and playtime, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Amanda has a lot of experience with animals and genuinely cares about them. We will definitely be booking with her again!

This was our second time using Dakota’s services, and once again, he took excellent care of our cats, Wyatt and Daisy, while we were out of town. We really appreciated the updates and pictures he sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. He even went the extra mile and brought in a package that was delivered while we were away. I highly recommend Dakota to anyone looking for dependable, trustworthy pet care. It’s wonderful to be able to travel knowing your pets are in such good hands!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in DeSoto on Rover is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,897 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across DeSoto. 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 .

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
