About: I have experience caring for animals of different species, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also trained a service dog, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding canine behavior. I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and paying attention to changes in their behavior, appetite, and activity. While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop in visits, and dog walks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will communicate about scheduling to make sure their needs are met. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your instructions, keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, and give your pet the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.

Her communication was fantastic; she provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It's clear that she has a genuine passion for animals, and my dogs absolutely adored her!

About: I have raised and cared for my 3-year-old male cat since he was a kitten. I am experienced with feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, grooming, and making sure he stays happy and healthy. • I cared for my Morkie for over 4 years, handling daily walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, grooming, and giving her lots of love and attention. • I have also provided pet care for family members while they were away on vacation. This included checking in on a Poodle and a Golden Retriever for extended periods, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, went outside for potty breaks, exercised, played, and received plenty of companionship during each visit. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I enjoy going on daily runs and walks, so active dogs will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, outdoor time, and play. Every pet in my care will receive lots of attention, companionship, and regular potty breaks to help them stay happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and enjoy time outside while being safely supervised. I also have one friendly, well-socialized cat who is comfortable around people. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I'll always take the time to help them feel comfortable and ensure introductions are done carefully if needed. I strive to provide a safe, clean, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet will be treated like a member of my family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Arielle was very communicative and assisted us with a last minute booking. She went the extra mile to take care of our dog while we were out. She even checked on her twin e in one day because the weather was bad. We will definitely book for our future vacations. The daily pictures were perfect and reassuring.
Tiffany did an amazing job looking over my cats while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend her. She was on time, interacted with the cats, cleaned up when they made an accident even though I told her she didn’t need to and I’d get to it. She is fantastic.
Jackie did an amazing job caring for our cats, Artemis and Aphrodite, over New Year’s weekend. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about them. The detailed Rover cards were great, she brought in packages for us, and she even emptied the litter on her last night—such a thoughtful touch. Aphrodite warmed up to her immediately, and we really appreciated her flexibility with short notice. We’ll definitely be booking her again and recommending her to others!

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 .

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.
