“Josseline did an exceptional job taking care of our dogs! She was attentive, reliable , and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. We felt completely at ease while we were away and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend. !”
“Absolutely amazing! Suzy went above and beyond for us! We just got news 2 months ago that one of our cats is diabetic, and we needed someone to come give him shots, and feed both of our cats. She was able to give him his shots twice a day, feed both cats and snuggle them. She gave us daily updates, and went out and bought tuna for our oldest cat who has separation anxiety.”

“Larisa went above and beyond! I booked with her pretty last minute, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay and even took my dogs to the dog park, which was such a thoughtful extra and not something I had asked or expected her to do. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will absolutely be booking with Larisa again!”
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 grew up always having a dog, or three, in the house. This means I have many years experience of getting along with, and taking care of various small to medium breeds. Feeding, playing, petting, walking, and cleaning up after them. I have also sat for friends who went out of town, caring for dogs as well as cats. I just moved back into town and, aside from helping my parents with their two dogs, my summer schedule is wide open. I would love to fill the time by meeting you and caring for your precious pet(s)! I am quiet-natured and good at building trust with new furry friends. I am intentional and thorough when it comes to pet care as well as maintaining the home environment. I also love to send pictures to keep your mind at ease while your pets are in my care.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was A little kid.Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets.I’ve trained my 3 dogs since they were a pups and now they are 6 years old. I’m working full/part time at a dog/cat free kennel place.I can work when ever if it I can go back-and-forth between pet sitting and work and I get 2 to 3 days off so those days I am most definitely free. I have 4 dogs and 1 cat at home.I play with them, feed, take them on walks at parks and nature trails,I take them to work with me.
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.
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses. From raising my own dogs through every stage of life—puppies to seniors—I understand the love and attention pets need to thrive. I’m also experienced in administering medications, so you can feel confident that your pets are in capable, caring hands. My goal is to provide the same dependable, compassionate care I give my own animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work an early morning schedule from 12:00AM to 8:30AM or sometimes a little later, which allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the rest of the day. For overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs, my husband is also available to provide morning feedings while I’m at work. This ensures your pets receive consistent care and attention, even during early hours. Despite my work schedule, I am fully committed to offering reliable, compassionate, and exceptional care, treating every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Although I do not offer boarding services at my home due to the animals I already care for, I provide in-home pet care with the utmost dedication. When staying in your home, I treat it as if it were my own, ensuring your pets are cared for just as I would care for my own. I follow every detail you provide to keep them calm, comfortable, and happy throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that they are in loving, capable hands.

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.

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.
