“Ashley was great and reliable! Our cat loved that she would make time to sit with him and give him lots of pets and treats! Always responsive when we had questions, and we never had to worry about our cat while we were away. She is awesome!”
“Jane was great with my cat and sent prompt responses to all of my messages. She gave helpful updates and sent photos and videos, which was appreciated. She was patient with my girl, who is very shy with new people :) thank you, Jane!!”
“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.”
About: I’m a stay at home mom who will love your babies like my own. While the kiddos are at school, I'm available for daily walks and check-ins. I’ve had pets my whole life since growing up on a farm, from big to small and all ages! Cats and dogs are my specialty these days. I help out my neighbors and family in the area. Now I’d like to help your fur babies! I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9am to 4pm. Also occasional Tuesdays from 10am to 4pm. Anything outside of those parameters, just let me know! I will care for your fur baby the same as I’d care for my own. Available for neighborhood walks, local dog park, or throwing the ball in the backyard.
About: I have always owned a dog since I was young, I made sure they were always fed and hydrated. My favorite part was bathing my dogs and training them simple commands. My 5 month puppy had gotten sick and I nursed him back to better health, So I have experiences with syringe feeding and electrolyte intake. I work everyday but my wife is at home so she'll have lots of time to play with your pups and make sure they get their needed food and hourly restroom breaks. We're Usually available anytime of the day. I have a vet doggo named Apollo that would love to meet new furry friends, I make sure water stays in the bowl and we go out for frequent walks on the trail in our neighborhood. Our home is very pet friendly. I'm currently a full time worker but my wife is at home and we'll ensure your dog will have a good experience and make it feel like a 2nd home for he/she. I have a fenced yard and a dog to make your puppy feel welcomed and safe. We are always going to make sure your is happy and comfortable.
“Absolutely SPECTACULAR!! We couldn’t be more happier! Kelly went above and beyond for our pup and cat! Our cat is shy to strangers (like most kitties) but she didn’t stay hidden when Kelly came by to check on our pup and was so affectionate! She took great care of our dog and his separation anxiety was very minimal this trip while we were away because of her commitment to our pets and her affection. She’s absolutely WONDERFUL!”
About: I have over 3 years of experience as a dog bather and kennel attendant in a professional setting. As well as occasional pet sitting off and on for the last ten years. I have extensive experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Working at vets office, I have lots of experience with giving medication and working with more difficult animals. I work part time in the mornings a few days a week. I am also a full time student online so I have mostly flexible hours to work around your schedule. I am available to bring my services to you! I provide my undivided attention to your pets and treat them like I would my own while they are in my care.
“Jamie was outstanding with our senior dog, Gracie! This was our first experience using Rover and pet sitting. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our girl. Jamie was very attentive, took great care of Gracie, and went above and beyond! We are so grateful that we could enjoy our trip knowing Jamie was loving our pup!”
About: I have extensive hands on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes, from household pets to livestock. My background includes livestock handling and care, as well as working with dogs trained for herding and other working roles. I have a strong understanding of both canine and feline behavior, training, body language, and handling, which allows me to recognize what an animal is communicating and adjust my approach to their individual personality and needs. My experience goes well beyond dogs and cats. I have a particular affinity for exotic pets, including reptiles and amphibians, and I’m comfortable caring for animals that require more specialized husbandry and handling. I’m currently a chiropractic student pursuing a career working with both people and animals, which has given me an even deeper understanding of anatomy, physiology, movement, and overall animal health. Combined with my lifelong experience around animals and livestock, I bring much more than basic pet-sitting experience. I understand animal behavior, respect their boundaries, and genuinely enjoy figuring out what makes each individual animal tick. Whether your pet is a couch loving cat, high energy dog, working animal, reptile, amphibian, or something a little less conventional, I’m confident providing knowledgeable, attentive, and individualized care. My schedule is very flexible and allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m only in class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and even on those days I live close by and can easily check in between classes. The longest a pet in my care would typically go without seeing me is about four hours. The rest of the week, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. I’m also happy to work around each animal’s normal routine as much as possible. I’d rather adjust my day to them than expect them to adjust theirs to me. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, my biggest priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, training, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I live alone and do not have any dogs or cats of my own, just aquariums, so pets staying with me don’t have to navigate unfamiliar resident animals or a busy household. This also allows me to give them plenty of individual attention and makes my home a great option for pets that prefer a quieter environment or don’t typically do well around other animals. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language and adjust my approach to each individual animal. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets that need exercise, play, training, and enrichment, as well as shy, anxious, independent, or older animals that need patience and space to decompress. In a client’s home, I’m extremely respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine. I’m also happy to continue any training or behavioral routines already in place so there is consistency while you’re away. Ultimately, I want your pet’s day to feel as normal as possible. The only real difference should be that I’m the one taking care of them.
“Sumi always does a wonderful job with our pups. She arrives on time and follows the instructions given. I’ve used her services multiple times and will continue to do so.”
“Lily is the most amazing dog sitter!! She was fantastic with my dog and always went above and beyond! In addition, she’s incredibly flexible with dates and very friendly! 100% would recommend Lily to care for any pet.”

I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, to ensure your dog will be under the best care. I work from home so i am fully available during the day for walks, potty breaks or play breaks. I currently work remotely , so I am available full-time to meet the needs of your pet. I will be available for early drop off or pick up and available for all holidays on my schedule for both boarding and daycare. I have the dog park with my building and have a larger dog park and walking trails within half a mile walking where I live. Your dog will enjoy the company of my standard Pooddle (gentle and calm), and periodic and potty breaks throughout the day.

About: I’ve been loving dogs forever and caring for pups ranging from just a single pup to 6 pups at once! Old or young I have taken care of them. Potty training and crate training as well! I’m currently a college student getting my doctorate. I am still plenty available especially for long weekends and most of the week to take care of your pups! I have 3 other pups to keep yours company! 2 vizslas and 1 golden retriever. I have a fenced yard and have a nice dog park nearby.
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages and personalities from energetic puppies who need patience, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime to senior dogs who require a gentle approach, medication reminders, and extra comfort. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routine so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I've had the privilege of raising two wonderful dogs. One is still happily by my side, and my other sweet companion recently crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 16. Caring for a senior dog for so many years taught me the importance of patience, compassion, recognizing subtle changes in behavior, and providing the extra attention older pets need to stay comfortable and happy. My experience includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering oral medications when needed, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual needs, prioritize safety at all times, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs to burn off energy, stick to a consistent routine, or simply enjoy a calm, relaxing environment, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. Because I'm home most of the time, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'm happy to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether you need weekday, evening, weekend, or last-minute care, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule while giving your furry family member the love and attention they deserve. My home has a secure, fenced in yard where dogs can safely play and explore. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll keep you updated with photos and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Emma brought peace of mind when we had to leave our fur babies (a senior dog and my little morkie) when we went out of town. She gave them all the love and belly rubs. My dogs love seeing her come in! ♥️ Will definitely use Emma again!!”
“Amazing first visit with John! Always left the sweetest notes about Socks our cat and played with him so much! We appreciate him being so kind and loving to our guy. Made me have so much peace of mind while I was gone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmers Branch
Taylor was absolutely amazing with our dog, Ester! She was able to help us out with less than 24 hours’ notice, which we really appreciated, and she even made time for a meet and greet beforehand so they could get comfortable with each other. She was always on time, took great photos, and communicated so well throughout the entire experience. It was clear that she was genuinely excited to help care for Ester, which made us feel so comfortable and confident leaving her in Taylor’s hands. We would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone who will truly care about their pet, and we will be booking with her again!
Maria is always great and I trust her a lot with Seiya. She’s always on time and really dedicates her time to my doggie. Great communication and keeps me posted on anything she notices - from whether Seiya has a mood to play, to eat or whatsoever! This is not the first time Maria looks after Seiya and will definitely not be the last one
Lily was fantastic! This was my first time utilizing a sitter for my elderly dog. We arranged an introductory meeting and all of my worries and concerns disappeared. I was able to enjoy my vacation due to Lily’s loving care and detailed correspondence on a daily basis. I will definitely seek her out for services in the future!

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.

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.
