“We are SO grateful to have found Tanya. Leaving our boys is always tough but she has made this process so easy and know that they are in such great hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them and we will be booking again in the very near future!”
About: Hi! We're Ashley and Chantelle, a dependable animal-loving couple who treats every pet like family. One of the biggest benefits of booking with us is that Ashley works from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We're also proud pet parents to three dogs of our own—Mylo, who is 8 years old, and Rose, who is 4 and Astro who is 3. Caring for them every day has given us firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the love and attention dogs need to thrive. We enjoy staying active and providing walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of affection. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, we'll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. We believe in reliable communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. We believe pets are family. Unless requested by the owner, dogs are not kenneled and are free to relax, play, and enjoy our home just like our own dogs, Mylo, Rose and Astro. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Ashley works from home, so pets are supervised and cared for throughout the day with plenty of attention, potty breaks, companionship, feeding, walks, and playtime. After Chantelle gets off work, we continue walks, play, and care together, making sure pets receive consistent love, structure, and attention throughout the day. We prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, pet-friendly environment. At our home, we have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play. Pets in our care are treated like family and are never left unattended during outdoor time. We maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. Dog daycare is also available in our home with plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day.
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She did everything to make sure I felt comfortable. This was the first time we leave our babies with someone other than my mother-in-law. Made sure we got pictures and videos of our babies having a good time. Would definitely recommend for anyone worried about leaving their babies with someone else. Can’t wait to book again.”
“Jacell did exactly what was asked of her and texted me to let me know she would be a little late one day. I will be using her again. She’s awesome!! My lil boi was so happy with her.”
“Sarah was a perfect pet sitter! She did drop in visits for our 2 cats and a bunny. She went above and beyond with the litter and took awesome photos that set our mind at ease! Will rebook for sure!”
“Michelle was a lifesaver!! Had an unexpected immediate need for someone to care for my fur babies and she was more than accommodating. Great communicator and a caring animal lover. I’m apprehensive leaving my children in the care of others but will definitely be using Michelle in the future.”
About: I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am a certified Vet Asst with a lifetime of pet experience. After years of caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. I currently have 3 dogs and 8 cats, including a few fosters. Pet care is my full-time job, so I am available throughout the day. During each visit, your pet will get more than just the basics. They'll get attention, playtime, enrichment, and the care they're used to receiving at home. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I don't just see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, attention, and care.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 20+ years of hands-on pet care. I provide walks that are safe, structured, and tailored to your dog’s personality—whether they’re high-energy and need a steady pace, or more sensitive and do best with a calm, reassuring approach. I pay attention to the details that matter: leash safety, hydration, heat awareness, paw checks, and reading body language so your dog feels secure and understood. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs, gentle with seniors, and consistent with dogs who thrive on routine. You’ll always know your dog is in good hands. I communicate clearly and treat your pet like family—so you can relax knowing they’re being cared for with love, respect, and reliability. If you’re looking for someone you can trust—who shows up, stays attentive, and truly cares—I’d love to meet you and your pup. My schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and flexible walk times throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, as well as weekend care. Because I keep my schedule balanced, I’m able to give each dog calm, focused attention and unrushed care. Whether your pup needs a consistent routine or occasional help, I work with you to create a schedule that keeps them comfortable and secure. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I use secure leash handling, remain alert to surroundings, and adjust pace and distance based on weather, energy level, and your dog’s needs. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I create a calm, structured environment where dogs feel safe and understood. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, which helps prevent overstimulation and supports anxious or sensitive pets. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and a trustworthy presence in your home.
“Ashley was great! This was our first time having someone drop in on our dog, and she made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I take care of other people’s pets like I would want someone to take care of my two fur babies! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, lizards, and exotic birds. I was a keeper at a wildlife ranch and have also worked at a pet resort so I have experience with a little bit of everything, and there’s nothing that can surprise me! I’m currently unemployed but applying for jobs, I love animals and have a passion for working with them so I will make time for the clients that need help. I have experience crating/kenneling cats and dogs and have worked with a diverse range of breeds as well so I understand needs look differently for every animal.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Family friends and neighbors would always trust me to feed walk and bathe their dogs whenever they were away. I’m currently working part- time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am typically always free in the mornings and afternoon while some days I am free all day. Schedule can always be discussed. I am open to provide any care your fur baby might need while you are away and cannot provide that care. That may include walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them.
About: With 21 years of military service, I bring a unique blend of commitment, discipline, and attention to detail to every aspect of my life. I grew up as part of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), where I gained extensive hands-on experience in raising pets. This foundation in animal care has shaped my practical approach to dog and cat husbandry. Currently, I maintain a diverse array of animals, including a black lab that I personally trained for duck hunting, a cat I’ve leash-trained to go on walks, a turtle, and a small-scale quail farm. My experience has taught me the importance of precision and organization, which I apply to managing my pets, ensuring everything is in top shape and that the animals receive the best care possible. I finish my workday in the early afternoon on weekdays, and I prioritize your pet during my free time. Your pet’s care will always be my top focus. I’m also available for early morning visits to accommodate your schedule. I treat our pets like family. Without children of our own, our 'fur babies' are everything to us. I care for every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets.
“Rena was great. Tucker my kitty just loved her. She is reliable and attentive to him and followed the instructions I left. When I met Rena, we talked cats and she is definitely a cat lover, Tucker could tell. I highly recommend her to watch over your fur babies. I will definitely call her again when I have to go out of town.”
About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).
About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and find joy in ensuring they live their best lives. I haven’t found one that I don’t like or doesn’t like me! In my home or under my care I promise your pet will receive the best treatment. I’m currently working part time therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as they need! I am open to boarding over the weekends and I’m flexible in my schedule! I live in an apartment complex that has a wonderful dog park on site! I do not have animals in my home, so if your pet does not do well with other animals or needs more one-on-one attention then I’m your girl!
About: I have always had animals growing up. Raising cats to be 17 years old, and currently raising my 9 month old boxer which is very fun and rewarding. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to check in on your fur babies or let them stay with me and give them all of the attention If you board with me I have a big crate that my dog does not use but I’m more than willing to let your animals roam free. I do live in an apartment but I take MANY trips outside to the walking track and dog park. I spent most of my time outside making sure my own puppy gets plenty of her energy out.
“Tracy is amazing!! She goes above and beyond on her visits. She’s so sweet and loving to the animals and sent me updates while I was at work on how the visit was going. She followed all instructions perfectly and made sure everything was perfect for us, her, and the animals! I recommend to everyone and anyone!”
About: My love for all Animals!! Taking care of them is the greatest JOY! Each one is unique, and I enjoy getting to know their personalities. Have been caring for Dogs, and Cats for many years, and have decided to take friends, and families advice, and do it on a full time basis. I have always preferred to care for them in their own home environments, as it is less stressful for them, as well as their Parents, and I reassure them on a daily basis, their Families are coming back.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hitchcock is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
