About: I’ve grown up around animals and now care for my own cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities—whether they’re super social, a little shy, or full-on chaotic. I’m patient and calm, which helps a lot when pets are adjusting to a new person or environment. I’m good at picking up on behavior changes and routines quickly, so I make sure pets feel as close to “normal life” as possible while their owners are away. I also have experience with basic training habits like litter consistency, reinforcing routines, and helping nervous pets settle in. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m very attentive to detail, I don’t rush interactions, and I actually enjoy spending quiet time just letting pets warm up at their own pace. I also understand how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated and comfortable while they’re away. Pet care fits into my routine alongside my full-time job. I work Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM, so those days I’m available for early morning check-ins and evening visits after work. I make sure any pets I’m caring for still get consistent attention, feeding, and litter care even on my workdays. On Fridays, weekends, and any time I’m off, I have a lot more flexibility and can do longer visits, more frequent check-ins, or spend extra time with pets if needed. I’m very used to balancing a structured schedule, so I plan ahead and stay consistent with care routines. Since I’m already a cat owner, daily pet care is part of my normal life anyway, so adding Rover visits feels natural and easy to manage responsibly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and responsibility as my own. I follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay on their normal routine as much as possible—feeding times, litter box care, medications if needed, and any specific habits or preferences they’re used to. On my workdays (Monday–Thursday), I do check-in visits, usually mornings and evenings. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, litter boxes are clean, and they’re doing okay overall. I also take time to give them attention so they don’t feel rushed or lonely. On weekends, I offer in-home sitting and overnight stays. This allows me to spend more consistent time with your pet, keep their routine steady, and provide comfort and companionship throughout the night. I make sure the home stays clean, calm, and secure while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when someone is in your home, so I’m very respectful, careful, and communicative. I always provide updates so you feel reassured and know your pet is safe and cared for.
“Robin is the best pet sitter/walker we have ever had. She is thoughtful and thorough and all our pets love her. She takes excellent pictures and we feel so much better when she checks in on our pets.”
About: I’ve always lived with an animal and enjoy taking care and playing with pets. Growing up, I assisted with caretaking for our 3 dogs and I currently own a cat, Stella, who is my baby. I’m currently a grad student at Tarleton with mostly online classes so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet! I only have classes on Monday and Tuesday and they only last 4 hours each so I have a flexible schedule! I have a sweet cat and we live in a tiny home right outside of Stephenville. I own plenty of cat and dog toys, and have access to a small fenced yard for dogs.
About: I’ve owned all sorts of animals all my life, everything from donkeys to ferrets, cats and dogs are a breeze, even the most difficult of characters are easy for me. I’m a full time college student and working as much as I can, im not free certain days of the week/weekend, but I love to pick up last minute sits and help out where I can. I have a very large field and park in my backyard, while it’s not fenced in as long as I’m provided with a well fitted leash/harness I’ll take them out as much as they’d like. For cats, I have multiple cat trees and litter boxes, as well as toys and furniture for lounging
“Highly recommend Abigail! She was very responsive and respectful. Our girls really enjoyed their time with her. Abigail should be your first choice when caring for your pets. 😊👍🏻”
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and currently work at a dog camp as a team lead. There, I care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, including those that are nervous or reactive. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, administering basic care, and ensuring each dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m also training under a professional dog behaviorist, giving me valuable skills in understanding body language and providing positive, stress-free care. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets. While my schedule varies, I’m available 3–4 days a week and would love to spend that time with your fur babies! I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I maintain your pet’s routine, keep your home clean and secure, and always respect your privacy—creating a calm, familiar environment for your pets.
About: I have had experience with all sorts of animals other than cats and dogs and have cared for elderly animals as well as puppies/kittens.I would love to meet new people and help out with their pets! I am a student at tarleton but I only have one or two classes a day so I am still very flexible with scheduling for any of your needs! I would care for the pet however the client asked me to whether that was walk it four times a day,stop over once and just play for 30 minutes it doenst matter to me just as long as my client is happy!
About: I am a dog loving patient person who enjoys long walks. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have been around teacup Chihuahuas to big and active dogs such as Shepherds, Great Danes, and high energy Greyhounds and Catahoulas. I have owned and taken care of several big dogs most of my life to include: a Shepherd, Black Labs, a couple Dachshunds and a full-blooded Catahoula; so I understand the rigours of the exercise that they need. I am available almost anytime, except for the hours of church. Give me a shout and if you would prefer to meet me before entrusting your faithful companion or baby to my care, I would be happy to meet up with you and rover to see how we click.
“John was fantastic!! He took great care of my little Pixie and even went so far as to wash a few cups that were in the sink and to pick up a laptop off the floor and put it on the counter. Much appreciated!! Definitely recommend!!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life. I like cuddle bugs who like to take walks. Large, small I like them all. I don't mind messy and senior dogs are some of my favorites. I work at the prisons in Gatesville. I work 2 to 10 evenings but can still stay the night. My schedule is 6 days on and 3 days off. If you have 3 months advanced notice I can ask for time off to watch your babies I will follow all instructions. Everything your pet needs I will provide. While I work for you, I will make sure your babies have everything they need per your wishes.
About: I went to college to be a Vet and although I ended up in sales I definitely learned the basics on how to take care of your pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. My background as a vet student also means you can trust me to be consistent, communicative, and professional. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m pivoting from sales into marketing and, while job-hunting, I love spending my time caring for dogs. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pup all the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need. 💕 follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles included. 🐾 I’ll also keep things tidy and send photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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.
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.
