“Jordan stayed at our house for 5 days while we were on vacation. She did a great job taking care of the house and all our critters. Everyone was in excellent hands and we could breathe easier while being away from home!”
“Rachel was an amazing house and dog sitter! She was super communicative, sending regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. She was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans changed slightly. I came home to a clean and tidy house, and my dogs seemed happy and relaxed, which is always my biggest concern. Rachel was so respectful of both my home and my pets, and I would definitely choose her again for future trips! Thanks again!”
“Danni has taken care of our animals twice now - 2 dogs, a cat, our bunny, two fish, and was even kind enough to care for a stray kitty outside who found us and has come to depend on the meals we provide. Danni always leaves the house immaculate. And our beloved animals seem to feel safe and happy with her. So grateful! :)”
“Sierra did amazing with Athena! She seemed very happy when we came back and I was updated with photos throughout her stay. She was very sweet and I can tell she truly enjoyed spending time with her. Will recommend her for sure!”
About: I’ve always lived animals growing up and I’ve been surrounded by many animals including cats dogs for the past 4 years , I love taking dogs on walks and caring for cats as well I’m currently a full time college students and working on finding a part time job I’m also involved in clubs on campus but 3 days a week I’m available almost all day to walk and play with pups. While I can’t do in house for pets since I live in a dorm but any environment an animal may be in I’ll make it safe and make sure your animal is comfortable
“Thanks Ysla for the care of Oreo. Sending pics and updates were most appreciated Oreo’s care as an old dog was important to us. I know 12 days staying at our house was a long time to be away from your kitties 😊😊”
“Andres did an amazing job of house-sitting our dogs. He sent plenty of updates and was very considerate of our dogs and home. He is a great dogsitter and can be trusted with your pups!”
About: I’ve had the responsibility of owning many pets of my own since I was 8 years old and have been pet sitting for family and friends since middle school. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of many different breeds and personalities throughout high school and every summer when I return home from college. I’m now in my senior year and would love to continue pet sitting while I’m away at school! I love meeting new pets because every dog has a different personality, and getting to know their little quirks is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. Growing up with pets helped me understand the daily care, attention, and companionship they need. I know it can be hard for pets when their family is away, so I take time to learn their routine from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and downtime, and follow their owner’s instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Having people trust me with their pets year after year means a lot to me, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I watch. I’m currently in college, but I’m available before 12 p.m. and after 4 p.m. every day except Tuesdays. I’m also available for weekend stays or check-ins! My schedule gives me plenty of time to play with and look after your beloved pets, making sure they get attention, care, and company while you’re away. I’m happy to work with you to plan visits that fit their usual routine. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pets are in caring hands. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions, stick to their usual routines, and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space. I’ll keep doors secure, their food and litter areas clean, and treat your home with care and respect. If your pet stays at my home, it’s the same routine just with extra snacks and no rules! Just kidding, I’ll follow your rules and only give treats you approve of. I live in an apartment with plenty of room and greenery nearby for walks and playtime. I’ll make sure they have a comfortable place to rest and plenty of company while you’re away. I’d really appreciate knowing about any behaviors or triggers, such as biting, scratching, or guarding food, so I can keep both your pet and myself safe. I’ll also send photos and updates and let you know if anything seems unusual!
“Miguel was great! My dogs got lots of love and attention, plenty of walks and were well taken care of. It’s so nice not worrying about my dogs while on vacation, knowing they are in good hands. I will definitely book with Miguel in the future!”

About: I've taken care of three huskies for the past 5 years and volunteer at my local humane society caring for pets in need of a new home. Through out the years I have grown an admiration for all kinds of dogs. Just moved to Texas and being away from my huskies have left a void in my heart which led me to try this app to meet and connect with other dogs. I hope that I can meet your expectations while caring for your loved one. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels happy and that they are enjoying their time as you enjoy yours away. I appreciate you reading this and considering me for your fur baby! Hope to hear from you soon! Friday evenings and weekends are my best days to pet sit as well as holidays. If you are looking to book me outside of these days please send me a message and will let you know if this is possible. I truly believe that a pets environment should be comfortable and make them feel safe. I will abide all of your rules and specifications and ensure that safety and trust are top priority when caring for your fur baby.
About: I have had Dogs all my life and I currently have 5 gorgeous fur babies. I have 4 retired show dogs with accolades ranging from Best in Show (x2), Best of Breed, Trick Dog (x1), CGC certified therapy dogs (x3). I have grooming experience, walking experience, basic training, and a passion for everything in the world of dogs! I am a college student but my classes are typically over at 12:45 Mon-Thur. My Fri-Sun are completely free and I can offer longer walks earlier in the morning so the pavement won’t be as hot and your babies paws are protected. I will follow owner instructions to the letter, if issues come up I will call the owner or another listed emergency contact. I’m comfortable with administering oral medications to dogs if needed. If the ground temperature at the time of the walk is too hot I will not take the dog out and I wont charge for that service. The dog’s safety and well being comes first every time.
“Korbin went above and beyond during my 7 day trip. When my flight got cancelled he even stayed one more night! He is wonderful with my dogs and was very respectful of my house! Hire him- you won’t regret it!!”
About: I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for over 5 years! From energetic pups to chill senior dogs, I’ve done it all—walks, cuddles, belly rubs, and even the occasional treat negotiation. I treat every pet like my own and love making tails wag while their humans are away! I currently work in the medical center for UT Health. I am usually at home when i’m not working, so it gives me more flexibility to make stops when needed. at home, I typically let the other dogs be around my golden doodle. If I am going to a client’s home, I just take care of them the way the owner would like me to because no one knows their dog better than them.
“We had a great experience with Sydney . She was very communicative, responsible and kept us in the loop throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated it”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I don’t just stop by to feed them or take them on a walk, I spend time getting to know their personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school through dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters. As a pet owner myself to both a French Poodle Toy and a cat, I understand how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family member. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented. Whether it’s sticking to your pet’s routine, cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, scooping litter boxes, or giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently earning my graduate degree through a fully online program, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available every day for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care. Because my classes are online, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so I always do my best to keep them on their normal routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed and instructed), and any special routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, secure, and tidy. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for until you return home.

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 Devine 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 Devine 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 Devine 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
