“Moshera was lovely! She checked in on my cats while I was out of town. Always communicated and kept me updated with pictures and notes on how they were doing. From the beginning she showed that she wanted to give the best care and followed all instructions. We felt at ease leaving our girls in her care!”
“Shelby has been sitting for me for about a month now and is great! She comes twice a week to let my boy out and always takes good care of him by taking him on a walk and making sure he has enough water for the rest of the day. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have had a passion for animals since I was 6 years old. I have decided to follow my passion and become a veterinarian.. I am currently in school for veterinary assistant. I am going to work my way up to become a veterinarian. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 parakeets. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available to work from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. I do know how to do CPR on dogs, and I do have transportation, so I am willing to take pets to different locations to run and enjoy rather than to the same scenery if that is something desired by the owner. I am also willing to take pets to any appointments, if the owner has a busy schedule. I currently work PRN, so I have more than enough time on my hands to take care of your fur babies! I'm pretty accommodating, so just communicate your needs. When I am caring for pets in the client's home, I will follow the schedule/ duties that the owner would like for their pet. If the owner has set expectations it is my job to fulfill them.
About: I love all animals and have grown up around them my entire life. I have a sister that does rover and I have only heard good things about this Im definitely looking forward to loving on any animals that someone wants to let me help watch! Any time I work remotely and I have my kids every other week so if someone needs a night shift or during the day anything works for me I have a wide open space around 1200 sq foot condo and I have a nice area to walk dogs or a second spare room for the cats to chill in! Also have a cat climbing area inside
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. I have a 15-year-old pitbull, a 6-year-old chihuahua, and a 4-year-old shih tzu, so I’m very familiar with everything from senior care to high-energy small breeds. Caring for a senior dog has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of sticking to routines and monitoring comfort levels. I also have experience administering medication to my own dogs, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and specific care instructions carefully and responsibly. Because I care for my own dogs every day, I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every animal like family and provide loving, reliable, and detail-oriented care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own three dogs every day. I am a full-time college student, but most of my classes are remote, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around pet visits, walks, feeding schedules, and any special care needs. Since I spend a lot of time at home for school, I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m comfortable managing my time responsibly and making sure pets receive the care and routine they’re used to. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I intentionally build my schedule to ensure I can be dependable and present. For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking closely to their normal routine. During each visit, I provide feeding (if needed), fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. If medication is required, I carefully follow instructions and timing. I also make sure the space stays clean and secure before leaving. For walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and positive interaction. I adjust the pace and distance based on the dog’s age, energy level, and comfort — whether that’s a slower walk for seniors or a more active walk for high-energy dogs. I always ensure proper leash handling and awareness of surroundings. After every visit or walk, I provide updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Always glad to rebook with Hana to take care of my cat while I’m out of town. Hana even went the extra mile this time and put out food for some neighborhood cats that hang out on my porch. Also, this time, my cat is having some new health issues which made it hard for me to leave her for a week. But, I felt so much more comfortable knowing Hana was keeping an eye on her. I’d recommend Hana to anyone.”
“Amanda was AWESOME! She showed up every day on time, completed all the tasks, stayed the full time, took great care of our fur baby and even loved ❤️ on him, which meant a lot. Will definitely use her again!”
“Lyndsey had her first meeting with Esperanza and Akoni today. She kept me well informed with how it was going and sent pictures of their time together. Overall it seems the girls made a new friend and looking forward to their next visit.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals and possess extensive experience ranging from fragile bottle-baby kittens at the Fort Worth North Adoption Campus to geriatric dogs and cats. As the proud owner of a sweet Great Pyrenees and an independent, antisocial cat, I understand and love all pet personalities! I am fully trained in pet CPR and highly confident in administering oral medications, ensuring your beloved furry family members receive the safest, most compassionate professional care possible while you are away! I currently work from home as an intern therapist while I finish my masters in social work, leaving me woth tons of time for me to play with your furry family! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment so even if your furry friend is antisocial we have an animal oasis they can have all to themselves awaiting them at my home! I love walks and cuddles so no matter what your friend needs im sure ill be more than capable to take it on!
“Jessicca always takes such great care of our kitties while we’re out of town. She’s a great communicator, patient with our particularly sassy cat and reliable. I know our fur babies are in great hands when she’s there.”
About: I've been a dog owner for more than 10 years. Through these years, I've loved learning about dog behavior and how I can be a better life coach to my dogs. Right now I have a very anxious 12 lb poodle mix who I enjoy taking out. I try to find ways to help with his anxiety and get him out of his shell. Feel free to contact me for a complimentary 15min meet and greet to see where our goals align. One of my top priorities is to take care of my own dog. We go on walks first thing in the morning. But overall, most of my time is spent working from home; therefore, I am available at your convenience For safety reasons, I won't be introducing my client's pets to other animals. Dog care will depend on the dog and how welcoming they are of a stranger into their home. Unless a dog is comfortable with me. I will most likely keep my distance, respect their space, and provide structure. I also do like to stay in communication with my clients with videos and photos
“Shelbi went above and beyond to take care of our dog and 2 cats as well as our house! She cleaned up for us without us asking and we will definitely be asking her to watch our animals every time we go out of town!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my household since the day I was born. I started dog sitting for family friends at the age of 16 and haven’t stopped since. I trained my dog in highschool when she was a puppy and now she is well rounded in all skills! I’m currently working part time and am a full time student but I am very flexible with my schedule! I am always open for overnight stays or just drop ins while you are out. I love going on walks and would be happy to take your dog on one! I have the ability to put a dog in a crate/kennel/house if needed. I will treat your dog like my own. I am very energetic and playful and will keep your dog entertained if needed.
About: I’d genuinely rather be surrounded by dogs than by people. I more than enjoy being around animals and caring for them has always been a love of mine. I personally haven’t had a dog of my own for a few years and it’s rather sad not to have a pet around to take on adventures, enjoy hikes and eat all of the food you drop on the floor.I have dog sat/house sat for various families throughout the years and I enjoyed every part of it. I would love to continue dog sitting and walking pups. I can’t wait to get to know your pets and figure out what works best for the both of you so that your pet is as happy as can be ! I do work from home a few times a week and I have a somewhat flexible schedule at work and for sure I am available after work! I think it is very important that the pets I’m looking after are able to stick to their routine and how things they would normally have when they are with their parents and I would love to know their routines and make sure that they have just as much playtime or walking time as they would normally have.
“Ava was perfect for my 11 year old lab while I was gone for a week. She was super communicative and flexible giving consistent updates and paying attention to how my dog was acting so I didn’t have to stress or wonder.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Fort Worth is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Worth
Professional and pleasant Rover. Taniah was local and available for a short notice reservation where our regular Rover was unavailable. Taniah met with my two dogs in advance and arrived promptly leaving many updates and pictures. I was relieved to know my most precious furbees were in safe hands. Thank you Taniah, will definitely book again and recommend to others.
Amaya has watched our senior dog Akira twice while we’ve been away on trips, and we couldn’t be happier with her! She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job taking care of Akira. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Akira is in good hands while we’re away. We really appreciate Amaya and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!
I have an 11 year old large breed dog with multiple health problems and Rachel takes excellent care of him, often managing multiple medications and maintaining his complex schedule with competency and care. She truly loves him as if he's her own fur baby. She also takes great care of my plants. I have known her for 9 years, and she is extremely reliable and trustworthy. He's the only person I'd trust him with. It's so nice to be able to relax knowing he's in good hands. The peace of mind she provides when I'm gone is so valuable!
Ashley took wonderful care of my husky, Koko, while i was away for almost two weeks. She went above and beyond by fitting twice-daily drop-in visits into her busy schedule while working a full-time job, and i felt confident that Koko was in great hands. Ashley made sure Koko got walks around the neighborhood, plenty of attention, and excellent care throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Koko was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring Rover sitter!
Jennifer, is God send. I had to go out of town on short notice & she took such good card of my bunny while I was away. He doesn’t always open up to people but he really warmed up to Jennifer. She was consistent with the times she dropped in so he began to look forward to her visits. She was very thorough and very quick & easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her to amyone looking for care - she’s really sweet in person too! I will definitely rebook in the future.
Marisol was the absolute best with our fur baboes. She gave us daily reports and pictures to let us know how they were doing. She was easy to get a hold off and great communication. Also she followed instructions we left very well to assist with our babies. I would highly recommend her with you for baby needs.
Jacob was absolutely phenomenal taking care of our babies! From day one, he went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for, well exercised, and happy while we were away. He was incredibly attentive, detail oriented, and followed every instruction we left regarding their care. What impressed us the most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to him. Even though Jacob was a complete stranger to them at first, they took a liking to him almost immediately. His kind personality, gentle nature, and genuine love for animals made them feel comfortable and safe right away. It was clear from the start that he has a special connection with pets and truly enjoys caring for them. He kept us updated, paid close attention to their needs, and gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. Knowing our dogs were in such caring hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Hoping he enjoyed our dogs and continues to be our go to person! We will book with him always .

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
