“Wendy is amazing with my cat Meowly Cyrus. When I returned home, I think my cat was disappointed it was me and not Wendy. Wendy is highly organized, sends great photos, and is even able to get my cat to play with her. I am a happy repeat client, and I highly recommend Wendy!”
“Caitlin was amazing to our 2 fur babies while we were gone! I loved that every time she came to our home, she made sure our babies were loved on and sent us an update with photos, along with a synopsis of how the visit went. I will definitely be using her again! 😎”
“Penny did a great job with my 5 cats. They are skittish, but she sent pictures of the ones she could get, every day. Even one Pic of a boy under the couch, with just some fur showing! Made me laugh!”
“Kim is absolutely amazing, trustworthy & reliable! Our Winston loved her & can’t wait until the next time! Thank you Kim for giving us peace of mind knowing you were caring for him! 💙”
“Samantha was amazing! She agreed to drop in visits for our two dogs, THE DAY OF, when another sitter fell through. She was attentive, provided details of every visit, and even brought in our mail unsolicited. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Amy really loves on our dogs like they are her own. If they’re happy when we’re gone we know that we can relax while on a vacation. She’s close by and that is a huge plus as well!”
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!
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”
About: I work from home full time and have two cats and dog. I grew up in a home with pets and would love the opportunity to meet some new fur babies. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have set my parameters for 15 minute distance from me so that I would be able to make those drop in visits with no problem. I don’t plan to house any pets, but if that should occur I do have a fenced yard and am familiar with crating. I would also only ever be able to take on one at a time because we do have three pets full time.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a very young girl. I now have my own family and I still love animals of all kinds and have a special love for dogs. I have had dogs from puppies up until their senior years and have had experience caring for the needs of all ages. We love to travel also and understand wanting to know your fur babies are well taken care of and loved while you are away! I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom and my husband works from home so your pets will often have someone with them to keep them company and love on them. We have a fenced in backyard with grass, trees, and access from their own dog door! Plenty of room to run, play, or enjoy the sunshine in. We have space indoors for a crate and prefer to crate your dog(s) at bedtime.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for the past 8 years and absolutely love having them around. I currently have a 9-month-old Goldendoodle who is very friendly, playful, and loves having other dogs around. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family over the years and have experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, hanging out around the house, or just lots of attention and belly rubs. For boarding, I’m comfortable hosting small to medium-sized dogs that get along well with other dogs, since my Goldendoodle will be home too. I’d also prefer to keep the number of dogs I watch at one time small so they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see what your pup is up to! I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day. I already spend a lot of my day taking care of my puppy, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out together, so having another pup join us fits naturally into my routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and time to relax. My home is puppy-proofed, with dog gates in place to keep everyone safe and prevent any escape attempts. I also have a good-sized, fully fenced yard where the dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time
“John and Becky were wonderful and who I will ask for every time. They came over and met our two dogs and we knew right away they were dog people! They visited and loved on our dogs while we were gone and sent pictures. We felt completely comfortable leaving our babies in their hands and I highly recommend them!”
About: Hello! Please just call me Xami (ch-ah-mee) I've always had a passion for animals. I only started taking care of larger animals such as dogs and cats when I was 9. Before then, I took care of a verity of insects, rodents, and birds. These weren't easy tasks for someone so young and yet I managed to commit into taking care of these precious creatures. I was the first person friends and neighbors asked to take care of their beloved bestfriends. When I turned 14, my parents brought home a kitten and I catered my routine to her. The same year, I managed to gain the trust of a stray after months of steady work and he became an indoor cat after we got his vaccines. I made sure our ex-stray got as much enrichment as the outside provided him. I have experience in training as later down we were given an accidental GSD puppy. I spent months properly training our puppy and even made it through puppy blues! I'm currently working part time from 6am - 12 pm. There may be some Thursdays where I am needed to work in the afternoon. My college classes are all online and won't interfere unless it's an exam. I care for others pets the way I care for my own - I make sure each of my pets have a proper schedule and diet catered to their needs. - Safety in areas of the house that is needed to be inaccessible - Providing a relaxing environment - Lots of love given
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was very young. From hamsters, rabbits and cats to dogs, goats and horses. I promise to care for your fur babies as well as you do 🥰 I am currently partially retired so I have plenty of time, day or night, to help others care for their fur babies. What better way to spend my time 🤗 I currently have 2 aging cats who are “indoor” cats. They do go out back once in a while, but they never leave the patio. They love just sitting outside in the sunshine watching the birds. Our dog stays in the house at night and when we are away, but loves to play ball outside. Our fur babies are family.
About: Hello. Everyone calls me Kellss. I recently had to give my dog away so this job is perfect for me as a full time college student and dog lover 😊 as a dog walker I can guarantee that your dog will be worn out from having fun and running around. As a dog sitter I can guarantee the safety of your dog. Being a fellow dog owner I know the means of the proper caretaking that dogs need so there’s no need to worry. My safe clean house will be the perfect place for your dog to get the extra love and fun during your time apart. I can maintain any schedule. Thank you for readying any questions feel free to ask. Enjoy your day

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
