“Amanda was amazing and professional. She sent lots of pictures. Dogs eating, playing, etc... it was fantastic the way she worked and cared for our pups. Her summary of the visits were great to read how they are doing in real time. Thank you so much for your heart and professional. We can't thank her enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and I begged my mom and dad for a puppy of my own. I’ve taken care of family and neightbor hood dogs consistently since then and have volunteered at local dog shelters to help clean up and walk dogs. I have exprience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can’t wait to stop by an play with your pup!! Currently, I work in the afternoon and evenings (I work with kiddos) thus I am available mornings and early afternoon. I am available all day on weekends. I can talk your dog on a walk within your neighborhood. When I leave, I can crate your dog if necessary. I can also provide fresh water, food, and treats if directed.
“David was very good with Dagger. He played with him and took him on little walks around outside the house. He did what we asked and did a good job of taking care of our dog. Thanks again David!”
“You know when you find something great and youre torn between a 5* review or keeping your mouth shut so they are your home run secret and available next time? That's Grace. Grace was available last minute when we had a family emergency, and did a super professional job. I have used Rover for 7 years and she is among the top 3 sitters ive ever had. I will be using her again. Can't recommend her enough.”
About: Working from home gives me the opportunity to be closer to my pup and give him the love and attention he deserves. As your sitter you can rest assured that I will love and care for your pup as if he/she were my own! As a dog parent and someone newer to Rover I completely understand the hesitation and worry that comes with hiring someone unknown from the internet to care after your fur baby! I provide LOTS of updates, pictures and videos, as I want you to be comfortable and confident in your decision with me as your sitter! Although I am new to Rover, I am not new to dog sitting. I have lived the last 8 years of my life with dogs of approximately 70lbs or less. I often dog sit for family members while they are away on vacation. I strive to provide a comfy home environment for pups to stay while their owners are away. I work with house training pups and have also taught them basic commands. I can provide extra walks if needed for a pup that is learning to house train. With me your pup will get lots of love, attention, and cuddles! I strive to provide the level of service that I would look for and expect of a sitter! I hope to meet you and your pup soon! I’m currently working full time, I work from home with a good amount of flexibility so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I solely offer house sitting in the clients home. I do this because I prefer to meet with and sit dogs in their own spaces so that we are not disrupting their daily routine while their owners are away.
“Tetiana was fabulous! She communicated prior to the check-ins to ensure she had all the details about the dogs covered. She followed all of our instructions, stayed the entire visit to play with the dogs, and sent updates and photos. At the end of the visit when she left she gave one final update on the dogs to let us know how they were throughout the trip. I came home to two happy puppies worth every penny! I would highly recommend her if you are I need of someone caring and detail oriented to look over your dogs.”
“Theresa was fantastic! Her responses were timely & it's obvious she both loves and has experience with animals. Even while my shy cat was hiding, Theresa was able to get her out to pet her and have her take her nightly pill! Definitely reccomend.”
“Mike is great with Sapphire! I always get feedback and pictures every visit, and Mike follows all instructions to a T. My dog feels safe when I'm away because of this special care she is getting and it is greatly appreciated. Perla & Michael C. are #1 on the Rover app!”

I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and energy level to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of care! 🐾 As a full-time teacher, I bring consistency, responsibility, and care into everything I do—including pet care!

About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for rescues and senior pups. I recently said goodbye to my own dog, Eric, a golden mix I rescued at one year old and was lucky to have for almost 15 years. Caring for him through every stage of life gave me deep experience, patience, and a genuine understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, loved, and happy. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely care, never rushed or left alone for long stretches. I truly miss having a dog around for daily walks, company, and that quiet joy dogs bring to everyday life, and pet sitting has been a wonderful way to share that love again. I’m active and enjoy walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or something a bit more adventurous. I also volunteer with a nonprofit called Hauling Hopes, which has further strengthened my comfort with different dog personalities and needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, and I closely monitor behavior and wellbeing. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’m Maria, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom to two teens and a toddler. We recently lost our beloved dog, and our home feels a little quieter without paws around. Caring for dogs again feels like a meaningful way to share that love. I work from home, so your dog will have consistent supervision and companionship. We do morning and evening walks, midday potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so pets are rarely left alone and are always supervised around my toddler.
About: Hey there! Wether its a last minute trip or a trip planned out a month in advance I am here to help! You can trust that your fur baby will be in great hands. Knowing that being in a new environment can be overwhelming for your dog I ask that you tell me your usual day to day routine, that way they can still feel a sense of normalcy. Along with that I love playing with your dogs and providing lots of playtime/outside time. So book now and you wont regret it! I am currently taking classes to become a Veterinary Technician and all of my current classes are online. With that being said, I am home all day if I need to be. It is easy for me to accommodate your dogs needs, walking and playing whenever they need. I take my responsibilities very serious and pay attention to details making sure whatever I am doing is done correctly. I am very responsible, respectful, attentive, caring, and much, much more. I understand everyone has a different way in caring for their fur baby and I make sure to follow those ways to make not only you feel comfortable, knowing your fur baby is in good hands, but to also make your fur baby happy and comfortable as well.
“Dani did a fabulous job working with my dog. My dog needs someone with patience and perseverance as she gets to know you. Dani had a number of techniques she utilized in an effort to gain my dog’s trust. I highly recommend Dani to care for your pet!”
“Melissa went above and beyond all of our expectations for her. We were contacted with pictures and text letting us know how our dog was doing each time she came to house. A++++. Fully recommend Melissa to anyone who needs a pet sitter. ”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been something I do with so much love. I currently have four dogs: two Yorkies, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a French Bulldog, so I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Living with them every day has taught me how important it is to provide attention, patience, affection, and a safe environment. I am very familiar with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning, and daily care. I also understand that every dog is different and deserves to have their personality, habits, and routines respected. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love dogs and treat them like part of the family. When a dog is in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, safe, and never alone. I also want their owners to have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it is something I genuinely enjoy and something that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, so any dogs staying with me will have plenty of company, attention, and affection. I am available both during the week and on weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to match each dog’s feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule. It is very important to me that every dog feels comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. 🐶❤️ In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious house and a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can go outside, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home. They are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that is part of their usual routine. I always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions so their pet can feel as calm, happy, and comfortable as possible. Since I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day, supervise their time outside, follow their feeding schedule, make sure they get enough rest, and provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority. 🐶❤️
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Texas
Stephanie was able to help us take care of our cats last minute when we were going out of town. She was responsive and reliable for us. The updates she gave were very detailed and our boys loved her from the very start. She knows how to take care of cats and would definitely hire her again in the future.
Valynn was everything we could have asked for in a pet sitter. She took the best care of our pups while we were away, ensuring they had plenty of walks and lots of loving care. She shared pictures with every visit and it was clear from their “smiles” that our dogs felt very comfortable with her. We will definitely look to book her again if we are away, and highly recommend her to others who need great pet care.

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.
