About: I have a dog of my own and my sister has a cat. I've taken care of pets for family and friends. Both staying in house and dropping in for feeding and potty breaks.

I will be returning to college in the fall but i will continue accepting bookings. Im typically available morning to late at night. For Drop-in visits or house sitting that require early morning care I am able to work it with my schedule with no issue. For drop-in visits I'll check in minimum 3 times daily for feeding, potty breaks, and short playtimes. For house sitting i am happy to stay overnight. In the event I need to leave for any reason, I'm happy to take your fluffy loved one on a car ride with me if acceptable and only if i am not getting out of the car.

About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.
About: Hello! I'm here to care for your fur baby when life if too busy. I've grown up with dogs and have two of my own. I'm very flexible and can mold to your dog's needs. I currently have an open schedule to care for your dog. Monday through Friday 9am-4pm. Weekends open. If these hours don't work for you feel free to contact me and we can always work something out! Please let me know of any specifics of your pet. Their favorite pee spot. Keep them away from big dogs. Whatever request that may be! Also, If you're feeling unprepared. I do have leashes, treats, harnesses, portable water bowls, etc. Just let me know and I can accommodate.
About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.
About: I like going the extra mile to make a relationship with the dogs! I like to give lots of love and attention to the dogs with all the time I can do! I am in school and that is my only obligation! I have all the time in the world to take care of all the cute pups! I care for the pets in the clients home by making sure their water is full and they are fed, toys are within reach, no messes are being made (if so i’ll clean them) and make sure there’s nothing bad for them to get into when no one is there!
About: Available for initial meet up - to ensure a good match. I've had many pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, frogs, rabbits, an injured horned owl, raccoons, and fish! I currently share my apartment with one special cat - a rescue cat named Mogwai. I've had both inside and outside dogs. I have trained several of my dogs (small breeds) so I have a fair amount of knowledge. I'm a 36 year old working from home as a retirement financial investment manager during the day. I have a lot of flexibility to be able to also take care of your pet! I think Rover is a great way to meet some cool pups and cats and help people with the many responsibilities of pet ownership. I look forward to meeting you and your pet/pets! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. I have ample flexibility to care for your fur baby. I’m an active person who like to talk walks and be outside while also loving a good pet cuddle. I ensure it is a good match between me and the animal. Generally speaking, let’s usually like me. I’d give them plenty of attention and love while also ensuring their basic needs like food, water, relief and exercise are met.
About: I have absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was young. I strive for pet sitting and care to be more than a passion but a career path. I’m more than willing to dedicate my time into making what can be a stressful time for both owners and pets alike enjoyable and rewarding! I have experience with furry friends who take time with new people, and with our over joyful and excited friends! Having the patience, time, energy and dedication needed for building a relationship with your pet thats lasting! I have cared for all sizes and personalities of furry pets for the past 15 years for many neighbors, family members, and friends growing up! It has remained my favorite job and past time for as long as I can remember, as it allows for me to be surrounded by a community of wonderful people and loving animals. Being a stay at home mom has allowed me to work with a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide last minute scheduling and holiday scheduling for pet owners! With minimal adjustments to hours and available days! I have a large fenced in yard for my two dogs, and have spent years learning how to play and interact with them in our space together! Even providing them with a separate space to cool off and relax away from the chaos of children, making sure they’re never to overwhelmed! Having pets has taught me some wonderful games such as tug of war, fetch, and keep away (a house favorite). I’ve learned with time that “animal lead play” is a wonderful way to get any fur baby to interact on a level they’re comfortable with. Offering opportunities for bonds and trust to form between us!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all personalities and needs. In addition to household pets, I’ve also raised cattle and goats through FFA, which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with animals that require daily care and attention. This experience has taught me how to stay consistent, follow instructions closely, and notice small changes in animal behavior or health. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” animals, I genuinely care for them and understand how to handle both calm and more challenging situations. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, or just spending time with them, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’m used to helping with feeding, cleaning, and general care for pets at home, and I also make time for walking, playing, and checking in on their needs regularly. I attend school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and I sometimes have a few responsibilities after school, but I’m pretty flexible and good at managing my time. Through FFA, I previously raised cattle and goats, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to stick to a care routine and pay attention to animals’ needs. School will be ending soon, so I will be even more available and flexible during the summer, which will allow me to take on more pet sitting opportunities and give pets more consistent care and attention. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, and any medications if needed. I also spend time with the pets to give them attention, playtime, and companionship based on their personality and comfort level. I always make sure to keep their space clean, safe, and respected, and I check in on them consistently so they feel cared for and not alone. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.
About: I've owned many different pets including dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, and ferrets over the past 14 years - young and older pets alike! I am a licensed veterinary technician here in Texas (I was previously licensed in Nevada before moving to the Lubbock area) and as such, I am able to provide services such as medicating furbabies that need medications and providing transport to the veterinarian if necessary (either my place of employment or your own preferred clinic). Some of my own pets are on medication, so making sure your furbaby gets any medication they need will be no problem at all! Some of my pets also have special dietary needs, so you can have complete confidence that if your pet needs the same, all needs will be met. I work full-time during the week at a fairly busy veterinary hospital. As far as drop-in visits go, I am able to make morning and evening visits any day, and midday visits on a case-by-case basis. Drop-ins will be performed at the time requested UNLESS they fall in a time range where I will be working. In those cases, visits will be either early in the morning and/or in the evening after work. Daily pet care is a staple in my household since I have my own pets, many of which require medical care including special diets and medications. Any care requested by clients will be performed to the best of my ability. Whether it be simple feeding instructions or something more in-depth, rest assured that your pet's care is in very capable hands.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all sizes including livestock which I showed to dogs 10lbs-175lbs, I’ve also owned cats, rabbits , chickens and about anything else you can think of! I’m familiar with administrating medications of many sorts and the basic health and anatomy! I’ve also dealt with mothering animals and their young ones! I love to build a bond with every animal and I can’t wait to build one with your pet! I’m currently a student and am free to spend as much time with your pet as needed! I’m very flexible to whenever you need me to be with your pet! I can fulfill most of your needs with my flexible schedule! I will not only love your pet like my own but also treat your home better than my own! I respect people’s property and belongings!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own at home. My grandma breeds dogs, so I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also pet sat for many families throughout high school and cared for different breeds and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own. As a college student, I’m looking for a fun and reliable way to spend time with dogs while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I am currently just a full time college student so I have plenty of time to care and spend time with pets. I often only have classes 2 times a week so my other days are perfect for spending time caring for your pets needs! I have 3 pets at home that I feed, walk, and play with, so I am very used to spending lots of times with dogs!
About: I love animals and I would love to make yours feel loved and safe when you can’t be there yourself. You will not be disappointed! I can accommodate your schedule! Long term or short term, I can come to them while you are away. I can help ease your worries! I will stand in for you while you are away and do things your way! Trust me with your pets while you can’t be there
“Kelsey took amazing care of my two dogs and was very communicative and friendly! She came by to meet them before the first visit and I immediately knew they were going to be in great hands. Highly recommend her to love on your fur babies!”

About: With over a decade of pet care experience, I've developed a deep understanding of our furry friends' needs and quirks. From energetic pups to senior dogs needing a gentle touch and playful cats, I can handle them all with care and affection. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet under my care. Trust me to provide your beloved companions with the love and attention they deserve! I am home for the summer to prepare for the start of my upcoming graduate school program, so I am extremely flexible in my schedule. I am available during the workday, evenings, and weekends! In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for pets. This includes providing regular feeding schedules tailored to their dietary needs, ensuring access to fresh water at all times, and maintaining a clean living space. I engage pets in enriching activities such as playtime, walks, and interactive toys to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Additionally, I adhere to any specific care instructions provided by pet owners, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. Above all, I approach pet care with love, patience, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of each animal in my care.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Idalou. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Idalou.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Idalou. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
