About: I am a first born daughter that learned to take care of siblings and dogs at very young age! Care giving comes natural to me. I work a full time job M-F from 7am-4pm but am very available after to walk and care for your pups! Weekends are best any time of day with a heads up! I am available to care at my apartment if dog is not large since they wouldn't have much room to play. Available to care at your home as well!
“I am so thrilled that you were able to care for Chi and Ace. I felt so secure while out of town, the updates and thorough and my dogs were energized and happy when I came home. Thank you bunches!”
“Suzy was awesome! She took great care of our herd of cats, even administered a shot once a day for one of cats, ryder. Highly recommend! Thank you Suzy for taking such great care of our babies and giving us peace of mind while we were away.”
About: I am a high school teacher and coach with Holidays, evenings and summers and weekends off. I also coach volleyball and track so please communicate about what days works best. My schedule is never the same throughout the year. I have a puppy and two cats. I like to say we have a small farm of our own. I enjoy animals more than anything in life and would have more of my own if I was home more. I enjoy being active and keeping my pets active. I would love to walk or sit your pets to be around animals because I am normally around people (high school students) majority of the time so it is a way to give back and de stress for myself.
About: With over 7 years as a veterinary technician, your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’m confident administering medications and caring for pets with special needs, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a proud corgi mom of three, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I provide loving, reliable care, regular updates, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I’m up by 7am each morning to give my two diabetic dogs their scheduled insulin injections (every 12 hours), so I’m very consistent and structured with routines. After that, I’m home for the majority of the day caring for the house and spending time with our three corgis. Because I’m home-based, your pup will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and timely care throughout the day. I ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable, following routines and medications precisely, giving love and attention, and keeping you informed throughout their time with me.
About: I am a certified service animal trainer with hands-on experience raising, handling, and training a service dog full-time from 8 weeks to 9 months old. During that time, I focused on obedience training, socialization, public access skills, daily care, and building strong positive behaviors in a variety of environments. This experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to confidently care for dogs with different needs and personalities. I am passionate about providing attentive, loving, and reliable care to every pet as if they were my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available any time throughout the week for pet care needs. Caring for animals easily fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and have experience maintaining structured schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and training. Whether your pet needs early morning care, midday visits, or evening walks. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to accommodate different schedules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine consistent. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive any needed potty breaks or exercise, all per your instructions. For dog walks, I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions while making sure each dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need. With my background in service dog training and handling, I’m comfortable working with different temperaments and reinforcing good behaviors during visits and walks.
About: I have trained my dogs so I have some experience even with stubborn pups. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 with family and neighbors. I’m experienced on providing medication (if needed) feeding, bathing, walking. Though this path, I have learned to have patient with the pups because each one of them is different, personality and character wise, to understand them. I have time as long as it’s scheduled at least with 3 days in advance and only on weekends given I have a full time job during the week. Depends on client’s preferences and instructions. Most of the time, I keep them inside and go outside with supervision only. If able, I can walk them with my 2 huskies so they get to socialize, or maybe dog park if nearby.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hockley
She was wonderful with my three dogs and even came on her day off to make sure they were taken care of. She alerted me right away when she noticed my front door was open, which I really appreciated. Very reliable, communicative, and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend.

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 Hockley 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.

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 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.
