“Sarah was awesome! She made sure all the food and water bowls were replenished and actively communicated what the cats were doing and where they were hiding. She ever scooped the litter box which I'm sure the cats appreciated. The pictures of the cats were great and she spent a little extra time playing with the two non-scaredy cats. I'd recommend Sarah as a pet sitter any day.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have seen them in every stage of life. I love spending time with them, and I have cared for puppies of all ages, sizes and breeds. I have also sat sit for multiple different clients. I have basic pet first aid skills, and your pets safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently going to school so my availability is limited during the day. Please reach out to me for my hours and we can arrange something that works best for me and your pup! The pet being comfortable, safe, and well-cared for is my top priority. I am familiar with dogs of all different needs and energy levels, and will customize my care to ensure that they are happy and healthy. As of right now, I am not offering boarding services.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter who is new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also have experience administering medications and am comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care routines. My husband and I live on a farm with our 4-year-old female Standard Poodle, Maggie. She is friendly, well trained, and enjoys having other dogs around. Although our yard is not fenced, all dogs are closely supervised outdoors and taken on multiple leashed walks each day. Our property offers plenty of space for safe walks, exploring, and sniffing. I recently completed my PhD at Baylor University and bring responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability to everything I do. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will treat your dog like part of our family while keeping you updated throughout their stay. I have cared for pets for friends, family, and others since high school, with more regular pet-sitting experience in recent years. Please note that dogs staying in our home must be comfortable using stairs. I work from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, companionship, feeding, medication, and plenty of attention. I already follow a consistent routine with my Standard Poodle, Maggie, including multiple leashed walks each day. Because we live on a farm, visiting dogs also have plenty of opportunities to walk, explore, and sniff while remaining safely supervised. I live in a cozy studio apartment above the garage on our farm, so the indoor space is modest, but dogs have plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time, walks, and exploring around the property. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I was destined to pursue a career as a veterinary technician. Twenty years later, I've built a rich and varied experience, dividing my time between day and emergency practices. The day practices have given me a solid foundation in routine medical procedures, from drawing blood to conducting routine check-ups. In contrast, the emergency practices have taught me to think on my feet, remaining calm and focused in the face of urgency and uncertainty. Throughout my career, I've developed a special affinity for post-operative care, taking pride in helping animals recover from surgery and return to full health. I've also learned to recognize and address anxiety in animals, using a gentle and compassionate approach to alleviate their stress. Meanwhile, I've honed my technical skills, mastering the art of medication administration and injections with precision and care. Pursuing a PhD degree offers me the privilege of a highly flexible schedule. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job, my daily routine is not bound by specific hours. I can choose to work at times that suit me (and your fur babies) best. With a sprawling, fenced-in yard as their playground, my two energetic dogs are never short on adventure. As a fellow dog lover, I'm excited to offer pet care services that cater to your pet's individual needs. Whether you'd prefer me to care for your pet at my home, surrounded by my friendly dogs, or in the comfort of their own home, I'm happy to oblige. From crate-trained companions to free-spirited friends, I've got the experience and patience to make your pet feel at ease. My dogs, with their boundless energy and affectionate nature, are the perfect playmates for your furry friend.

About: I love to not only feed and let out your pets but also just hangout with them and keep a watchful eye just in case ;) I would love to swing by right before or after work on the weekdays! And can really commit on the weekends if you need to go out of town! I love to just come over and sit with your pet for awhile, let them get comfortable approaching me and then play with them or walk them and feed them when they’re comfortable!

About: Animals have been apart of my life growing up while showing livestock. Over 15 years worth of caring for not only my show livestock but others as well, and am ready to give you, and your pet, a great experience! I currently have a Corgi and a Springer Spaniel. I take my corgi along just about everywhere I go when I can and has been quite a few places across Texas for Livestock Shows and visiting family. I work full-time during the weekdays until about 4. I am out of town some-weekends and some weekends I am in town. I do this for a small, part-time gig. Currently my dogs stay outside in the backyard when I’m away at work. They are kennel trained for when they need to be. Otherwise they are usually inside with us. I frequently get them out and about to either to the dog park or to different stores for socialization and training

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets when leaving home. I have also had many different types of pets in my life time including chameleons, ferrets, and raccoons. I have trained many puppies and taken care of a few senior dogs. I currently have a 9lb dachshund named Winnie. I am a graduated nursing student who is leaving Corpus Christi on May 30th, but would love to make some friends in the meantime. When sitting, I will commit all of my time into your pet and will move any part of my schedule around them. I will gladly take them for walks in the park ans many times as they want and around my house, I don’t mind bathing or grooming if needed, and I have also trained many dogs in my lifetime. If this is not what you are looking for, I would also love to just lay around and hang out with them.

About: Hi, I’m Dylin! I have cared for large and small dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens and goats (and every small rodent in between) since I was a child! I have petsat for family and friends since I was around eight years old. I grew up on a farm and have experience working with aggressive pets and tending to sick or injured animals. I love taking walks through Cameron Park. I’m a theater student with a flexible schedule and a love for all creatures, big and small! I’m currently living at home, working part time locally and saving to move out! My schedule is very flexible, I have early morning availability and I can work on the weekends. I am enrolled in online classes and I like to take my schoolwork with me during pet visits. The only times I can’t work are Wednesday evenings, other than that I’m free! I am respectful of client’s homes and I run a tight ship! As well as providing love and attention for your pet, a top priority of mine is to keep your house and their space clean. I go the extra mile to ensure your home is exactly as you left it! I am a considerate dog walker to furbabies and other pet owners out walking! I let dogs take their time to sniff, and I am patient with unruly or hyperactive behavior. I have experience walking with big dogs that pull; I’m stronger than I look!

About: I have cared for pets and people for many years. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits & chickens, and I dream of someday having my own homestead. I have years of experience as a care taker for children & the elderly, but if I'm being honest I much prefer the company of pets over people! I've fostered feral cats and rescued runaway dogs. There is something so pure about the love of an animal. I have a daughter (3 years old now) who loves animals so much and gets so excited every time she gets to meet a doggie or kitty, so she truly loves coming along with me for these jobs! My schedule is very flexible at this time: I'm available for daytime visits and overnight care to spend time with and love on your fur-babies! 😻 I have a great deal of respect when visiting others homes. I always take special care to leave it cleaner than I found it and tidy up any messes as needed. A clean home is a happy home! Bedding in the crate needs to be laundered or litter box needs to be cleaned out? No problem! I can also water plants, take in the mail, put trash cans out, pickup packages from the porch, load the dishwasher or whatever may be needed! I want to be of service to you and your pet as much as I can during my time in your home. References available upon request.

About: I have had dogs since I was little, I love being around them. I have just started getting into working with them more. I have had to babysit dogs in the past, which included feeding, walking, playing, and giving medications as needed. My favorite dogs are senior dogs!! Im currently working part-time right now so I have plenty of time to see your dogs. I am free in the morning and the evening and sometimes during lunch breaks, I am also free all day on Saturday and in the afternoon on Sundays. I care for my pets in my home by keeping the fence outside always up and making sure there aren’t any holes, keeping a dog gate up where the stairs are, and crating my dog when needed or when going out. If you need me to crate your dog I can!!

About: Growing up with large, high-energy dogs has given me plenty of experience providing the exercise, structure, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. I'm comfortable handling energetic dogs on walks, runs, and play sessions while making sure they stay safe and engaged. I understand that active breeds need both physical activity and attention, and I enjoy keeping up with their energy. i have also cared for senior dogs who require patience and support. Whether it is helping them up and down stairs, carrying them when needed, or adjusting their exercise to match their abilities. I am committed to making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I believe every dog deserves care that is tailored to their individual needs, whether they are energetic puppies or a senior dog who needs a little help. I am active, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands. I am currently a student, so early mornings or afternoons are the best times for me to play with your pups. I am also available all weekend. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. During walks, I pay close attention to each dog's energy level, behavior, and surroundings to ensure they stay safe and have an enjoyable experience. I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise for their age and ability. In a client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I will follow any feeding schedule, medication instructions, or specific care requests. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive care and regular updates so owners have peace of mind while they are away.

About: I’ve taken care of animal almost my whole life. I’ve experienced situations others might not know how to handle. I have gone from grooming pets, walking around parks, following precise rules pet owners have left me, and allowing lots of playtime. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, horses, sheep’s, ducks, fishes, lobsters, and any animals you can imagine on a farm. I am a full time college student, but always make sure to fit the pets needs/schedule into mine. I will let any owner know if for some reason it will not fit into my schedule allowing them to look for someone else. Pet care becomes a natural part of me. It involves feeding, walking, playtime, and grooming, all of which I try to incorporate consistently throughout the day. Weekly tasks might include vet check-ups, cleaning pet areas, and providing extra care like nail trimming or deep cleaning their bedding. It’s about creating a balance where pet care feels like an enjoyable part of the day, not a chore. In my home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and any stimulation they need. This includes regular feeding, daily walks, playtime, and grooming sessions. I also focus on maintaining a clean environment for allowing pets to feel clean and smell well.

About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Elm Mott

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 .

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.

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 .

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.
