About: Local TCU student who loves animals. I did Rover all summer, and now that I’m back I’m campus I’m looking to continue walking dogs! I’m responsible, easygoing, and will treat your pets like my own! I’m currently home for the summer working a part-time job and looking to fill the gaps with pet care. I already take care of my energetic Duck Tolling Retriever, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, and general care. Attention to your pet, routines, and instructions are my top priority! I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. My own dog is always on the move, so I’m used to staying aware of things like open doors and food left out.

About: I have nearly 20 years of experience caring for pets including dogs, cats, fish, and other animals of all ages! I grew up with family pets, which makes their needs and care like second nature to me. My family and neighbors have entrusted me with caring for their beloved critters when they go out of town and I make it my duty to ensure that they are fed in a timely manner and get plenty of exercise while under my care. I can’t wait to do the same for you and your critters! I currently work full time Monday-Thursday, 7am-4pm and half days Friday, 7am-11am. This makes me a perfect candidate for pet care on weekends away, or for simple early morning and evening drop ins on weekdays. I am very detail oriented and can ensure that your pet will be able to keep their typical schedule under my care. I also love snapping photos of your pet to let you know they’re in good hands!

About: As a proud pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I have plenty of firsthand experience caring for animals! I’m their primary caretaker, so I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities of feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I understand that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m always happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care! I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can easily accommodate different routines and schedules. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to work around their needs and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve! I’m a very reliable, responsible, and respectful person, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home! I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel happy and secure. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, routines, or preferences you have to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I’m always mindful and respectful of their space. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in caring and trustworthy hands!

Western Hills-Ridglea, Fort Worth, TX, 76116

About: Hi, I'm Gary! With over 30 years of dedicated experience in animal rescue, rehabilitation, and caregiving, your pets will be in highly capable and loving hands. My approach centers on a simple truth: pets are family, and every single one is a unique individual who deserves personalized care, respect, and patience. My extensive background in animal welfare grew in stages. I started decades ago with local strays and rescues, learning the foundations of animal behavior and ensuring our community cats and neighbors pets were safe and healthy. By 1997, I started volunteering with the Inland Valley Humane Society. Later, I volunteered with the Yolo County SPCA while attending UC Davis, learning from top veterinary professionals from the top veterinary school in the nation. Upon graduation, I volunteered with multiple animal welfare groups elsewhere in the state, synthesizing this institutional knowledge helping numerous rescue groups in the Inland Empire socializing dogs and cats, managing several cat colonies, and assisting fosters and pet owners with specialized support for sick and injured wards. While I am not a veterinarian and can never diagnose ailments, I am exceptionally experienced in the rehabilitation and recovery process. Through it all, I have become uniquely qualified to ensure your pets' safety and well-being. I have worked with animals from about every point on the socialization continuum --- all of them with very unique personality quirks. Every animal is an individual. And, while broad themes can be drawn, understanding and catering to individuaistic needs divides true caregiving from generalized maintenance. Even the most experienced rescuer and caregiver must remain humble and adaptible. Like people, no two are the same. I look forward to meeting your delightful pets and helping you with your pet care needs. The type of care they deserve! I am not altogether sure what this prompt is asking because animal care isn't necessarily something that always conveniently fits into one's schedule. I've done hour long socialization visits, companionship visits, all the way to all-nighters providing fluids and medications to parvo afflicted puppy liters. An animal's well-being and quality of life are the only components we must consider. Whether that's a bit of exercise, a clean water bowl with nutrious food, a nervous pet with separation anxiety, socialization needs, or treatment and rehabilitation, they all have to be considered as fundimental to a pet's welfare. My experience has exposed me to just about everything I can think of. I will be teaching soon, hopefully for the Fort Worth ISD or some other local public school district, but work has never been a constraint. Pet welfare is a 24/7 affair when the lives and well-being of our family members are at stake. Boarding outside of their familiar territory is not the most ideal situation for an animal. However, I have several crates, x pens, toys, portable catteries, etc. with which to provide them a sense of comfort and security, so long as we fill that space with things for which they can find a sense of familiarity. But, again, I prefer to not remove a pet from the territory where they feel most comfortable whenever possible. Not only are they separated from their guardian, they would then be in a new environment, with new scents, new sights, new social dynamics, new animals, etc. It's not the most comfortable situation for them to put it mildly. For creatures that derive their security from routine and familiarity, one change can be overwhelming; but multiple changes can send them spiraling. And traumatizing a pet is the very antithesis of caregiving, in my opinion. However, after a few visits and they get to know and trust their caregiver, these dynamics can change dramatically. But, the key is always make their visit as seamless and comforting as possible. With that stated, routine is the most reassuring agent. The times they eat, exercise, sleep, take medications, treats, etc, whatever their schedule is, adhering to it as strictly as you can is crucial. That's how a caregiver maintains tranquility in a period of potential high anxiety for pets.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life — my family has never been without at least one since I was born. For the past 11 years I’ve helped care for my two dogs and our cat, handling walks, feeding, baths, and more. I’m currently away from my pets while at school and would absolutely love the chance to spend time with yours — puppies especially, but I adore dogs of every age and breed. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every one like it’s my own! I’m currently a full-time college student, but am available Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 6am-7am and 3pm-9pm, and Thursdays from 1:30pm-9pm. For weekends I typically have a lot more flexibility, but it depends on my schedule that week. I am an incredibly loving and responsible caretaker and have experience with many different types of dogs and their personalities. Back home I have both a very nervous but affectionate terrier and a bubbly and energetic lab! I also keep a very clean home and always leave places looking better than when I came!

About: Hi! My name is Madelyn, and I’m a TCU college student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, and rats. I currently have two dogs and a cat at home who I miss every day while I’m at school! Growing up, I’ve always helped take care of my own pets and have regularly dog and cat sat for family and friends. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’m currently a college student at TCU studying Early Childhood Education, so my schedule has some flexibility! I don’t have classes on Fridays, and my Sundays are open after I teach Sunday School at noon. On Wednesdays, I’m finished with classes by 1 PM, and Saturdays are generally pretty open unless there is a TCU home football game, go frogs! I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s schedule and find a time that works best for both of us! Your pet’a safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for your pets in your home, I will respect any rules, routines, and boundaries you have for me and your pets. I’ll make sure your pets are cared for according to their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show my own home. I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your pets are in caring and responsible hands while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fort Worth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Worth is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 5,763 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Worth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 with handling special pet needs in Fort Worth. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
