“Alma is awesome, she took great care of our chickens and our cat. We would love for her to take care of our pets in the future! Rover service is a very convenient way to communicate with your sitter when traveling.”
“Gary was great with Lilith! I could tell that she had a really fun time playing with him. I got so many good pictures from Gary and he was very communicative and responsive. Definitely recommend him to anyone and will keep his contact for when we need him in the future.”
“Kari has such a warm personality I had no concerns leaving my cat in her hands. Cora warmed up to her quickly and Kari shared lots of cute photos from their time together. I will definitely be booking her again for future stays.”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on animal care experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for a variety of farm animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. Pet care is a part of my everyday life because I’m a pet owner myself. I currently have a French Bulldog, so I’m very familiar with the unique needs of brachycephalic breeds and understand the importance of monitoring their activity, breathing, and comfort. I’m currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Biomedical and Translational Sciences, and my summer schedule is relatively light, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits. I have always loved animals and volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout my undergraduate studies, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. Providing pets compassionate care is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide food and water, potty breaks, playtime, administer basic medications if needed, and give plenty of attention and companionship. For walks, I prioritize making sure they stay hydrated and comfortable, especially during the summer heat. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: Hi! I’m a former special education teacher who has spent my career caring for others with patience, responsibility, and compassion. As a lifelong dog lover and proud Yorkie mom, I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, including administering medications (insulin) and providing extra attention to pets with special needs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they receive the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have two friendly, vaccinated Yorkies who are used to being around other dogs, and I always introduce pets slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and routines. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Before moving to Dallas for grad school, I worked in emergency vet med. I was trained to work with an array of pets with different routines and attitudes. I’m currently working part time, but am in grad school to become a therapist. My schedule is immensely flexible especially between work and clients. I am big on body language and following a pet parents routine. I have a good amount of emergency vet knowledge so your pets health and safety are at the top of my priority.
About: ❤️I love pets deeply; we shared 30 years with them, and when they’re gone, it’s because old age took them, after a life by our side.🐾 It fits perfectly; since I am very organized, I have time for everything I need to do during the day, and if I don’t have the time, I don’t take on jobs I can’t fulfill.”🕣 I’m going to take care of your pet with all my love, adjusting my schedule to their needs, so they can enjoy walks, good food, and a day full of comfort, as if their owner were at home. 😁🏡🐾
“Haylee was amazing with Fable and took the time to stop by to get to know her and to get familiar with the house and her needs. Excellent sitter, highly recommended! Thank you so much Haylee”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Dylan! We initially booked him for the weekend, but our plans changed at the last minute, and we had to adjust our booking. Dylan was so kind and gracious about the change and still made time for a drop-by visit. Everything was absolutely amazing, as always! We love and trust Dylan completely with our fur babies—he’s attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares for them. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our pets are in his care. Highly recommend him to anyone!”
About: I have loved and handled pets/animals of all kind since I was a toddler with no fear in sight. Outside of my own pets, most of my family and friends have always had some sort of pet that I have watched or taken care of- dogs, cats, snakes, fish, turtles, ferrets, lizards, some of everything. My grandfather also had a farm with horses, chickens and cattle that my brother and I helped him take care of. I am a substitute teacher, so I don’t work everyday. This also means that I have the summer and holidays off so my flexibility is very high. If I am in someone else’s home caring for their pet, I follow all rules set by the owner for both the pet I’m watching and myself. If I am watching a pet at my home, I make sure everything is very neat and clean so there are no health hazards and they can’t get into things they shouldn’t.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire 23 years, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I currently have a border collie and a cat, which keeps me experienced with both high-energy dogs and independent kitties. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I’m currently working a hybrid job, so I only have to go into the office twice a week. So I have lots of extra time to take care of other animals! I live in an apartment with a dog park on my floor. But with my dog, we go on lots of walks everyday (8-10 times a day) and I have lots of treats and toys.
“John is amazing! He completed daily drop-ins during the week while I was at work. He took care of coco like she was his own and she genuinely enjoyed her time with him. He sent daily pictures and clearly communicated when needed.”
“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!”
“Isabel was such a great help! She made sure she communicated during every check in & sent plenty of pictures! Boedi was well taken care of & I will be booking with her again!”
About: My wife and I are a military family with a daughter, and we understand that pets are family. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, we provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your furry baby while you’re away. We treat every pet as if they were our own and look forward to welcoming them into our home with plenty of love, attention, and care. I work fully remote from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the day. Because I am home nearly 24/7, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. Unlike sitters who are away for long work shifts, I am available to monitor your furry baby throughout the day and quickly respond to their needs. My flexible schedule helps ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your furry baby will enjoy a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of room to play and relax. We have a fully fenced backyard, providing a secure space for supervised outdoor play, exercise, and potty breaks. We also have two friendly dogs of our own: * An 8-year-old female Australian Shepherd who is gentle, well-socialized, and accustomed to being around other dogs. * A 6-month-old Dachshund (wiener dog) who is playful, friendly, and loves making new friends. We understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so we take the time to ensure introductions are done safely and at a pace that helps everyone feel comfortable. Our goal is to create a fun, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels right at home and becomes part of the family during their stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Duncanville
Amanda does such a great job with my baby girl. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even think my baby girl was excited to see me as much as she is Amanda. She really looks forward to that time and those walks in all the snuggles. Amanda’s very good at communicating if she needs to adjust her scheduling by 30 minutes or so even if I tell her time and time again there’s no need to let me know just as long as you show up I really appreciate the attentiveness she gives my pup if you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy consider Amanda.

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.
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 Duncanville 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Duncanville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
