“Lilyanna did a great job of taking care of our pups. We have a 4 month old lab and she was amazing at keeping his schedule and ensuring he maintained his normal routine while we were gone. She was also very communicative and took some super cute photos of the pups. Both dogs seemed happy and stress free when we returned to them. Thank you for making our lives easier and ensuring our dogs are safe and happy!”
“Emily was a delight! She made sure she was clear on what our needs and expectations were, and sent us lots of great updates with pictures. I could tell our two dogs and one cat were well cared for and gots lots of love because they were so relaxed when we got home. Thank you, Emily!”

She was caring, reliable, and went above and beyond. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker! 🐶💕”
About: Hello! I have been a dog owner/lover for years. I’ve owned small to large dogs. All were & are all special with their unique personalities. I won the Dallas Doberman Specialty which also served as the National Doberman Specialty (early 80’s). I’ve owned a Bichon, Red Heeler, Queensland Blue Heeler, a deaf Border Collie/Aussie mix, 2 Basset Hounds & now 2 Corgi’s (a Pembroke & a Cardigan). I’m retired and seeking independent work. Can’t think of any better & satisfying way than to work with dogs! I am retired and seeking satisfying enjoyable work. Drop in checks work best for me due to other obligations I currently have doing volunteer work. My two girls (my dogs) are fed twice a day. Let outdoors at variable times since I’m home the majority of the day. Fresh clean water is a must!!!! They keep themselves well entertained (and me) since Corgi’s are like Energizer Bunnies. Checking for bumps, lumps and any other odd things that might be noticed is essential. A healthy pup is a happy pup! A bit more about my background for extra reassurance about my ability with animals. I bred & showed South African Boer goats (males can get as big as 600 lbs). Showed horses and dogs. All required leading and creating a calm atmosphere wherever we were.
About: Hi, I’m Jasmin, and I’d love to be your trusted pet sitter! 🤎 I’ve loved animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to ferrets, guinea pigs and even pot-belly pigs. As a teenager, I volunteered at an animal shelter, and I also worked on an organic farm in Germany caring for farm animals. Animals are still a big part of my life today. I have a beloved dachshund, a cat we adopted from Mauritius, one guinea pig, and two hamsters. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’ve been on Rover for 3 years and have had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful pets and building relationships with returning pet parents. I now live in Dripping Springs and am excited to care for pets in my local community. I’m a stay-at-home mama with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home much of the day and have plenty of time to give your pet attention, companionship, playtime and care. Communication is key to establishing trust, so I’d love to meet you and your pet before you leave, if possible. While caring for your pet, I’ll send regular text updates and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands and doing well. Because that’s what matters most! I treat every pet as an individual and will do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. Please let me know about any special needs, medications, fears or behaviors so I can provide the best care possible. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks. Whether your pet needs a cozy home away from home or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to help! 🙏🏻 I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home with your pets and give them plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m also able to provide regular updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: With 17 years of caring for cats and dogs, I bring steady experience and genuine love. I grew up with dogs and cats all my life and have a deep passion for animals. Cat sitting is my specialty, and I’m confident with senior pets and maintaining a calm, clean environment that helps every animal feel comfortable. I accommodate last minute bookings on 24/7 on weekendz and weekday night! I work full time and I’m available on weekdays in the evening and I’m available all weekend starting Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday for last minute drop ins or schedule. I provide a clean, safe, calm environment for both cats and dogs. My home is stocked with cat litter and food and dog food. Upon request, I can purchase whatever specific food or litter supplies your cat specifically likes if pets are gonna board in my home. I follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and always clean up after them updating you with photos after every event.
“Jenny is absolutely amazing! I hired her to take care of my cats and she did the best job, sending pics of them and their clean litter boxes and food and water bowls. We also have a dog that a neighbor boy was caring for but Jenny let him out into the yard while she tended to the cats and gave him some love before she left. I’m super happy with the care she provided!”
“Krystyna was great! One of my dogs is particular about who he feels comfortable around. It typically takes time for him to warm up to a new person. The instant she walked in the door he ran up to her wagging his tail. I felt comfortable from the beginning with her taking care of my pups. Krystyna is a caring sitter and her communication is wonderful. She will be my go to sitter!”
About: Ive been around cats and dogs for my whole life so I know what they need and don't need. I have experience with puppy's and senior dogs that need extra care. I am personally a cat lover but love all animals! Im currently working part-time and a full time student. During the Summer I have plenty of time to care for your pets, however, Winter and Spring may vary. While watching over your pets, I will feed, play, and walk them as needed. I want to build a strong friendship with your pets so that I can keep them happy while you’re gone.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a little girl and have passed the love I have for them down to my dog loving kiddos too! I currently don’t have any pets, so my time at home with my daughter is pretty free. We volunteer at APA, but would love a dog at home too! We make sure to have fun with them and give them lots of love. We also always make sure that they are on the best behavior and don’t miss out on being polite around furniture and such. Movement is a big factor that we love to encourage dogs to do even if it is a little walk!
About: I've always had pets of my own as well as taken care of pets that friends, neighbors, and family have asked me to help out with. I love taking dogs out on walks and cuddling new feline friends. I care for any pet just as lovingly as I do my own. I'm figuring out my next move in life and hoping to surround myself with things that make me happy, which definitely includes pets! I’ll be home here in Austin for at least 2-3 months. In my own home, we've always placed importance on our pets being active. If you have a dog that needs to get out on a daily basis or just needs to be played with around the house, I am so happy to be there for those needs. If your cat just loves to be given attention, I'm your girl! Consistency in a pets food and water routine is also a priority. Sending picture updates while you're away is something I love to do.
About: Time and love! Recently retired with nothing but time and excitement to care for others’ beloved pets, especially because I don’t currently have any of my own. I have a large, fenced in backyard in the quiet hill country. There is a lovely trail for taking walks, and I love to take the pups for rides in the car! I’m experienced in administering and staying on top of medications and treatments. My daughter has two dogs that she sometimes brings for visits. So, if your dog is social, there is an opportunity for playtime with fellow furry friends. Caring for your pets would be my one and only priority. I spend the majority of time at home, and exercise is very important to me so I hope your dog loves to walk! Safety and affection are priority. Keeping a close eye on your pet and always making sure all needs are met is a guarantee when you put them in my care!
“Grant did a great job! He stopped by my place to walk my dogs. My one and half year old pit mix Luna has a ton of energy and he didn’t have any issues with her. I would totally use him again if he’s available.”
About: Hola everyone! My name is Lyana, and I wanted to share my wonderful experience as a pet and house sitter companion. As someone who adores animals and has a knack for taking care of homes, this role has been a perfect fit for me. I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and even some exotic animals. Each furry or feathery friend has brought so much joy into my life. One of the things I love most about being a pet and house sitter companion is the opportunity to build strong bonds with the animals I care for. Whether it's playing fetch with a lively pup or curling up on the couch with a purring cat, the love and companionship they provide is truly heartwarming. It's incredibly fulfilling to know that I'm making a positive impact on their lives while their family is away. In addition to the joy of spending time with animals, house sitting allows me to explore different neighborhoods and communities. I've had the chance to discover beautiful parks, scenic hiking trails, and charming local spots, all while ensuring the safety and security of the homes I'm entrusted with. It's like having a mini adventure every time I take on a new house sitting assignment. I enjoy engaging in stimulating conversations with the pets or providing a calm and peaceful environment through yoga and meditation, I strive to create a positive and enriching experience for both the animals and the home. Being a sunrise person, I love starting my day bright and early, ready to tackle any tasks that come my way. This allows me to provide the utmost care and attention to the pets and house, ensuring that everything runs smoothly during the owners' absence. Outside of my pet and house sitting duties, I have a passion for baking, hiking, traveling, and freelance work. These interests keep me inspired and motivated, and I'm always eager to share my experiences and tips with others. If you're in need of a reliable, responsible, and compassionate pet and house sitter companion, I would be honored to be of service. Rest assured that I will treat your pets and home with the utmost care and respect, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. Kindly reach out to me to discuss your needs. I'm currently available to house/pet sit, and dog walking most days. We are flexible with time & days! Reach out to discuss any details for my services offered. I follow the routine of your home. My love and care for the pets is to always welcome them and watch them joyfully interact and be fully engaged in their world :)
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fitzhugh
Brian was an excellent sitter. He was very attentive to the needs of our kitties. He gave detailed summaries after each visit and sent great pictures. Scout, Rover and Abigail were well cared for and happy when we returned. I would highly recommend Brian’s services and plan to use him again when for our next trip!

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.
