About: I’m a dependable animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and basic care routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets because I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide a calm, reliable environment where pets get plenty of attention, activity, and love. I have plenty of time to care and love your dog. I treat every animal as if it was my own. My home is also spacious and I have a large fenced in back yard with a back porch. Your dog will get all the love and cuddles while you’re away and be in great hands! I also have two young children that will love and play with them as well! They will be able to hangout and sleep with me or on a dog bed! 😊 I cannot wait to meet and love on your animal! 🐕 🐈
“Whitney was great with my two dogs, Margarita and Mandy. She loved on them and made them feel comfortable while I was out of town. She sent me updates and pictures daily of how they were doing I would definitely recommend and use Whitney again when I need to be away from my babies!!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about two years and have experience caring for two German Shepherds and two cats. During visits, I feed the dogs, refill their water, let them outside to stretch and get some exercise, and spend time playing with them. For the cats, I handle their food, refill their water, clean the litter box, and make sure they get some attention and playtime too. I enjoy spending time with the pets I’m watching and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time and attend school, but I have flexibility throughout the week for drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding and care schedule. When caring for pets in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure food, water, litter, doors, and gates are all taken care of before I leave.
“Tabitha was amazing! I had to leave for a family emergency and she took the best care of my pets and house leaving me stress free! Continuous updates with pictures every morning afternoon and evening with updates throughout the day! Her communication is top tier!”
About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!

About: I grew up in a family that bred dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve been hands-on with puppies from birth through 10 weeks old, helping with everything from feeding and socializing to monitoring their health and growth. Along with that, I’ve grown up with 5 dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, training, and affection that dogs need at every life stage. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for a walk, playing outside, or just giving them some extra love and attention. Your pets will be treated like my own, with lots of care, fun, and respect. I’m currently not working so I have all the time I need. I can do all day on weekends and all day Monday through Friday. I love taking my pets on walks and play dates to the parks. I also love giving them attention and showing them love if we were just at home.
About: I've been pet sitting for about a year. I absolutely love animals. I'm flexible when it comes to pet sitting so I you have any questions or anything just reach out! Pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do over the past year I have a part-time job that only keeps me busy Friday, Saturday, and Sunday however I'm free just about any other time! If you need pet sitting services on the weekend for a few hours feel free to reach out. If it fits in my schedule id be more than happy to help. I have 2 years of college but that's not really relevant. When pet sitting in the past I kept my clients up to date on their animals with pictures and/or text.
About: For the past 14 years, caring for dogs has been more than just a responsibility — it’s been a true passion of mine. From raising and loving my own dog to caring for others as if they were part of my family, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with daily walks to keep them active and happy, bath time to keep them clean and fresh, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and special needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, feeding schedules, or extra care for senior dogs, I treat every pup like my own — with kindness, responsibility, and lots of belly rubs. I’m a business owner so my time is flexible. With advance notice I can be available as needed and I can also be available on short notice as long as I’m available I have a fenced yard and a crate inside the house if needed. Your dog will be supervise at all time. Your dog is allowed on our sofa and free to roam around the house
“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”
About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.
“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Heidenheimer
Alex was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dogs with him, and I never had a single worry while they were in his care. He took such great care of them and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were with someone who genuinely cared about them. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable dog sitter.
This is our second time booking with Alex and I have to say he will be our go-to until we leave Texas or he stops dog sitting. He treats both our home and babies as if they were his. He leaves things better then when he started and has easily adjusted to our chaotic needs over the last couple months. Cannot be more thankful for Alex and his assistance! 10/10 recommend

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 Heidenheimer 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 Heidenheimer 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Heidenheimer 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!

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 .
