“Shelby was phenomenal with my dog, Jazzy, and cat, Bella. Jazzy has some very strict dietary needs and Shelby followed all directions. She sent me regular updates and pictures. Will absolutely be rebooking with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“Rebekah took wonderful care our dog and our house. She sent numerous, often funny, photos of our dog each day along with a summary of what they did. She left our house spotless and in many ways went above and beyond. Easily the best pet and house care we have ever experienced through Rover. We will definitely ask her to dog and house sit again.”
“Kathleen is very kind and kept me updated while I was gone. When I got back Junebug looked like she had an amazing stay-cation with Kathleen. My house was in better condition than I left it as well. A++++”
“Karen is a compassionate and intentional sitter. We arranged a meet and greet and we walked her through the house as she took notes and asked questions about everything/anything to care for our pup. She was available on relatively short notice (about a week) and Kona loved her! She gave us informative and sweet updates multiple times a day in the Rover app. She sent pictures of our girl so we knew she was comfortable and having fun. If you're looking for a reliable and responsible sitter to watch your fur babies, look no further. Karen will definitely be utilized for further sits!”
“Christine was an amazing sitter for our family looking after our 2 dogs and was super communicative! She sent pictures and videos for us every day and left our house looking even cleaner than when she arrived. Our dogs LOVED her :) Highly recommend Christine and we hope to work with her again!”
“Belen was wonderful with my boys during her overnight stay this past weekend! She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated frequently, checking in about their meals, Chevy’s medications, walks, and even their bedtime routine. Those little details gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for exactly how I would care for them. She was also very punctual, respectful of my home, and left everything clean and tidy. It can be nerve-racking trusting someone new with both your pups and your home, but Belen made the entire experience easy and reassuring. I would absolutely trust her with Chevy and Mylo again and highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“We have used Theresa multiple times and already have her booked for two more future dates. She keeps our fur baby’s routine and it is clear she loves animals. We will continue using her and would highly recommend her!!”
“Leticia went above and beyond during her stay with Oxford and Nellie. We had to leave town unexpectedly and she was so prompt in her response and willingness to come over for a walk through before we left town. Our dogs were well cared for as well as our home. I will be re-booking again!”
About: I provide reliable, personalized pet care that keeps your furry family member happy and healthy while you’re away. My focus is on safety, routine, and open communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. i am currently unemployed hoping to make this my full time job i also uber and going to school aswell for cosmo i have a lot of free time. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, and playtime happen at the same times as usual to minimize stress. I take time to observe their habits, likes, and any quirks, so I can respond to their needs just as their owner would. I also ensure the space is pet-proofed, checking for anything that could be a hazard, like loose wires or toxic plants. If a pet seems anxious, I use gentle techniques like soft talking or slow movements to help them relax.
“Paul was just fantastic. Sent updates and took wonderful care of our Dallas. No problems at all. Would highly recommend him to take care of ur fur baby. I will definitely use him again. Our Dallas enjoyed him a lot.”
“Deanna came through for a last-minute stay, and we couldn't have been happier with everything. She was very communicative and responsive to our needs/schedule. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in all the photos, which gave me such peace of mind. Thanks again, Deanna!”
“Melissa did an incredible job house/dog sitting for me. I have 2 large jobs who are a bit skittish and take time to warm up to people. She has a lot of experience with rescues, which was helpful. She was very communicative, took pictures, kept me posted, and she left our house very clean. Melissa will continue to be my go-to dog sitter when needs arise!”
About: I’ve had medical training with animals as a vet tech and kennel lead. ❤️ I have experience with meds, and I love senior pups (really all pups).🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building my days around the needs of the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of one-on-one attention, especially during mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also able to plan my schoolwork and other commitments around scheduled pet visits, so I can give each pet my full attention rather than rushing through a visit. 🐾💕 Whether I’m caring for a pet in their home or mine, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🥹❤️ I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re getting personalized care and plenty of attention. 🌱❤️
“John was able to watch our 3 cats on short notice. He followed complex feeding instructions to make sure that our cat with behavioral issues was fed on a regular schedule in a variety of special feeders. He was also very responsive and a pleasure to work with.”
“Carrie was so thoughtful and caring with our dogs! She understood their personalities and was patient, kind, and loving with them. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter to leave our babies with. We'll definitely be looking for Carrie for our future sitting needs.”

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 Double Oak 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 Double Oak 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.
Tip: 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 Double Oak 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.
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 .
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.
