“Highly recommend booking with Jada! She sent lots of photos of my dog & was very nice & friendly. Great communication as well, I feel comfortable with her watching my dog again :)”
“Josh was a wonderful dog sitter! He took such great care of both of our pups with very different needs. He kept our 2-year-old active and got lots of walks and playtime in, and he assisted our senior dog with mobility issues to use the restroom multiple times a day, including carrying him in and out. He also made sure he ate his food and even fed him when needed. Josh took great care of our home, too; everything was tidy and spotless. He even washed used towels and folded them nicely. He kept us updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay as well. Highly recommend Josh - he is kind, attentive and takes wonderful care of pups and your home!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets through feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m comfortable helping puppies maintain consistent routines, including potty breaks, feeding schedules, crate time, and basic reinforcement. I also understand that senior dogs may need extra patience, gentler care, medication reminders, and attention to their individual needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! The pups you see in my profile has been some of the babies I’ve taken care of. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I’m available throughout the week, Monday through Sunday, including daytime and evening visits. I can work with your schedule to provide consistent, reliable care, whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention while you’re away! I provide care in the comfort of your pet’s own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping up with their daily routines, I make sure every pup receives plenty of attention and care. I always prioritize safety, respect your home as if it were my own, and follow your instructions closely to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I don’t just stop by to feed them or take them on a walk, I spend time getting to know their personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school through dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters.

“Isabela took such good care of our babies while we were away! She sent updates and followed care instructions. Our pups seemed very comfortable with her. She stayed in our house and was a very clean and respectful house guest. We would have Isabela stay and take care of our pups again!”
“Jenika is so great! It’s clear that Maggie & Squat love her, they weren’t nearly as excited to see us when we got home as they usually are. 😂 Great communication, cute pics of your pets, and gives you the peace of mind to be away from your furry loved ones. 10/10 recommend!”
“Sophia is literally the best! She stayed here at my house for a week while I was on a cruise with my family! She has been working with my dog King to help him with his anxiety. She is so sweet and has brought King little gift and stuff to help with the training process. If you need someone to care for your pets Sophia is your girl. Thank you Sophia for coming today and spending the day with him.”
About: I worked as an animal caretaker at my local pet store where I learned all there is about pet care. I have also been a reliable dog sitter for my neighbors when they go out of town. I am currently a college student studying full time. I go in at noon and get out by 5:00. I make sure your pet’s needs come first and care for them as much as I can. I care for your dog’s physical and emotional needs. I walk with them, feed them and make sure they don’t get lonely while you’re away.
“Beau and Gucci like Dora and seem comfortable when she arrives. She is relaxed and calm with both dogs, and they instinctively respond to that. She arrived on time Saturday morning, but left earlier than scheduled on Sunday (when she discovered her car wouldn't start after attending her morning church service). We recommend Dora for pet and house sitting.”
“Braydon was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond by mopping up muddy footprints left by 4 dogs. He sent lots of pictures and regularly checked in with me to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Braydon to any one who needs dog walker and or house sitter.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Garden Ridge walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Garden Ridge maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Garden Ridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
