“Lilian was amazing! I am so thankful we met her. Very responsible - makes leaving home so much easier. Your fur babies get to stay at home and get wonderful, loving care I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I will definitely be sharing and telling other about her. I will be using her again in the future!!”
“Samantha was great with my pups! She made sure to send updates and pictures during each visit and everything was as I left it when I got home. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t imagine living without them. In college, I worked for two years at a local animal shelter, where I cared for dogs and cats of all kinds. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication and extra attention. That experience taught me a lot about animal behavior, health, and the patience pets deserve. I now have a flexible job that makes it easy for me to check in on your pets. My dog loves being around other dogs and cats. Whether your pup needs a play buddy, a calm presence, or some TLC, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I have a full time job time job that I live 5 minutes away from. I get an hour lunch where I come home and let my dog out. However, I am lucky enough to work at a flexible workplace that would allow me to drive home a couple times throughout the day if need be. I do not have a fenced in back yard, but do have a yard that my dog plays in every day. My dog Lady May, LOVES playing with other dogs. She is a very chill dog and cats alike!
“Rachel and Albert did drop in visits with my boys while I was working. They took such good care of them and my boys were always happy to see them. I would recommend them to others and use their services again if in the area.”
About: I worked for a kennel as a tech for three years, volunteered at a vet clinic for a year and a half, and am certified in canine first aid and CPR. I am comfortable with handling meds and can work well in high stress situations should there be an emergency. I do have an 8-5 job, however, I am more than willing to stop by in the early mornings and play in the evenings, as well as on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and no other pets currently. I go for 3 mile walks daily after work so your pups will get plenty of exercise!
“Tafra was amazing!!! She took great care of our boys, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond and brought our packages inside lol. We would have her back no questions asked!”
“Shayla, You were a god send to us. Thank you for taking care of the dogs. The updates were awesome. We really appreciate you and all of your help. Right on time. Spent more time with our family than we even expected. 11/10 would recommend.”
“Alese was WONDERFUL! She is so sweet and kept us updated with thoughtful texts and photos of our kitties while we were visiting family. 10/10 would recommend her services to anyone needing kind, compassionate care for their pets while they are away. Thanks so much, Alese!!!”
“We had such a great experience with Alexis! She is incredibly kind, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Our dogs did great with her, and even our usually skittish cat was comfortable…which says a lot. She kept us updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.”
About: Hi there! I have had a dog for 4 years and another for 2! I’m well versed in taking dogs for walks and also dropping in to give doggos any attention they need :) I currently work at an Elementary school 7:30-3 everyday, so I can check in on any dogs after work. I can also walk dogs after work! I love walking dogs at least two miles We are very meticulous about caring for our dogs, they get fed twice daily, get at least one form of exercise daily (walks, fetch, etc), bathe them monthly, and most importantly love on them a lot throughout the day
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a dog by my side. Growing up, my cousins raised Pit Bulls, and French Bulldogs. Additionally, my mom worked for Hills Pet Nutrition. As I grew up I had the opportunity to learn many beneficial training tips from her! Along with having two dogs myself, I was also a dedicated 4-H member prior to college. Within 4-H, I had the opportunity to excel in the training department, where my dog qualified for state seven years in a row, ending her career with a state championship along with a reserve champion title. Outside of working with my own dogs, I had the opportunity to become a junior leader, helping children with their training needs as well. Outside of 4-H, I worked at Dog Day Afternoon Resort & Spa where I spent everyday with over 30 dogs! Here, I was either in a room full of 10+ dogs at a time, greeting parents and dogs, or caring for 20+ private care dogs at a time. Additionally, while at home, I was a dedicated dog-sitter for a number of years. From Pit Bulls, to French Bulldogs, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Labs, Heelers, and everything in between, I have EXPERIENCE! Are you looking for someone who is fully versed in senior & puppy care, administering medications, training, health & wellness, and special needs care? I'm your go to gal! Currently, I am a full time college student and I am also a member of the FHSU Rodeo Team. I have a pretty flexible schedule, just reach out! As a pet sitter, whether caring for pets in my own home or in the client's home, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of your pets. This consists of initial consultation, play-time, maintaining routines, feeding, security, and comfort and affection.
About: In 2024, I became a first-time pet parent to two amazing cats, Leia and Fig. Growing up, I never had animals in the house because my father was allergic. With that said, starting out with raising the two kittens at the time was scary and challenging. Trusting someone with your own pets can be scary or challenging. It is my goal to make the experience of watching out for your pet as easy and safe as possible. In my time as a pet parent, not only have I gained confidence in caring for other animals, such as senior dogs and fish, but I have also gained a lot of knowledge about animal behavior (mainly cats and dogs). I am confident in my ability to take care of your animal in any capacity that suits your needs, from walking to feeding that requires special attention to grooming, and so much more. While I may not have 10 years of experience, I have a full heart and am committed to learning and providing the best care for your family member. I am currently a part-time student so I will have time sprinkled throughout the week to take care of your pet! Typically, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my "days off", but I am more than flexible. During weekdays, anytime after noon works best. On weekends, I am usually available from morning to evening times all around! I always want to respect the home, the homeowner, and the pet I am taking care of when in the space to work. Saftey and comfort of the pet is my #1 priority and I take precautions to make sure the pet is well fed, comfortable in the environment, and that any restrictions are met.
About: Traveling physical therapist with availability to take care for your furry loved ones! I recently had my pup pass away and I’d love to have another 4-legged cutie to hangout with and love. I loved my pup and would love to get to know yours as well! I work full-time M-F, but am home by 5 every weekday. Full availability on weekends. I enjoy being outside and being active. Pretty basic schedule for me! I can easily crate your dog if needed and take them outside to my large yard. I also like to take dogs to the dog park to run around and play.
About: I have vet clinic experience, farm experience, and more! I love animals! I have taken care of all breeds for over 6+ years! I know what to do incase of an emergency so your pets will be safe with me! I am a stay at home working mom! so I will be home ALL DAY with your fur babies! We will have designated times for all pets to play and have one on one time with me and can even socialize with other pets if you’d like them to! I have a very large fenced in yard. In our back yard we have put up a large indoor/ outdoor facility for your pets to stay comfortable! We have kennels of all sizes for your fur babies to rest in and tons of room to run and play safely!!
“Kaitlyn was great! She came over and met my dogs before the booking, which I appreciated. I got lots of pics of my crazy puppers while she watched them. I can tell they had a good time. I’ve already booked with her again. ? Thanks Kaitlyn!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 19 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hays. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hays stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
