“Katia has watched our babies several times now and I have been so grateful for her care and love for our two dogs! She walks them even though she doesn’t need to, watered my plants while I was gone, and always sends lots of photos with each check in. We are so grateful to have someone you trust!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up, I regularly helped take care of my neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ pets, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience and taught me how to be responsible, attentive, and dependable. I also have my own fur baby now, so I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your pet, treat them with love, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work as a Chiropractic assistant 4 days a week so Friday-Sunday I am 100% available. My fiancé and I live together and he is a short drive from school to check on our doggy during the day to take him out to go potty and give him some love! We do not have a yard, but our apartment has a very convenient paved path all around the complex with lots of grass and trees. Our dog goes out at least 3 times a day, all of those times being walks, because he will only go to the bathroom via walks. So taking the time to make sure your dog has gone to the bathroom and had enough outside time is something I am very used to and enjoy doing!
About: I am a real animals lover who is finally in college at middle age to become a veterinary nurse so that I can get paid to take care of animals full-time. I have always lived in a household with some kind of animal whether it be dogs, cats, birds, gerbils, ferrets, etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable living in a home without a dog or some animal. I have worked in several dog daycare environment with all breeds of dogs. I have cleaned kennels as well as feeding, watering, medicating, etc. I am a seasoned dog walker as I walk my own dogs at least twice a day. I believe that animals need and deserve daily exercise in order to be happy and healthy. Just like children, animals are a 24 hour commitment. I work full time at a dog daycare and boarding facility but I would love to work part time as a dog walker. Let play. I would love to take long or short walks as well as play with your dog in your backyard. Potty breaks are necessary for any dog, so I’m ready to be there for your dog.
About: I have a love for for animals! Grew up with cats and dogs back home. Would love to have the opportunity to spend my free time caring and loving a furry buddy. I have a full-time job, so I am available for the evenings. I have all day availability for Saturdays and Mondays. I am more than open to discussing my availability with you. Our family dog is crate trained, understands not to be on the couch unless there is a blanket, and walks well outdoor. I make sure to walk him early and late evenings so his feet don't hurt during the warmer months.
About: I live in a secure gaurd gated community home in Las Colinas, with a fenced in yard. We also have a park within the community that is only 4 houses down from mine that your dog would love to play at. I love all animals, but I especially love dogs. I have a 7 year old standard poodle named Willie that is treated like my child. I have no children and I'm also retired, so I can give all my attention to your fur-babies. I'm flexible in my schedule, so scheduling will never be a problem. I have a neighbor who is a friend and a vet in case of emergencies. Your babies will be treated with love and affection under my care, and always have my full and undeniable attention. I would love to work with both you and your babies.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the family. I love cats and dogs and am available to care for your small dog(s) and or cat(s). I enjoy getting to know animals and their individual personalities. I will give them the love and attention as I would my own. I will also care for and respect your home. I consider it a privilege to be asked to care for your family member in your home. I am better equipped to care for smaller dogs and/or cats as I am a shortie! I look forward to getting to know your pet soon! With a week's notice I can be at your home, caring for your pet. I can stay overnight, or can come daily to care for your cat and or small dog. When staying overnight, I will respect and care for your pet(s) and your home. If you have special needs for your small dog, cat or home, I will work with you to accommodate. When you hire me, your pet and home are my #1 priority. You can reach me 24X7 so you can be away without worries.
About: l've cared for dogs and cats for most of my life, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I also worked as a dog washer at a doggy daycare, where | handled dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how to stay calm, read body language, and help anxious or high-energy dogs feel comfortable and safe. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I'll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I'd want for my own. I currently have a very open and tlexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm available for drop-ins, walks, daycare, and overnight care, including weekends and short-notice bookings. I can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and individual needs to help pets feel secure and relaxed. I have experience handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments from my work at a doggy daycare, and I always provide patient, attentive care in a calm environment.
“Sonora was great! She was very personable & hit it off with my dogs immediately. I truly believe that dogs are great judges of character & they definitely approved of her. She had no problems giving the dogs their meds either.”

Our family includes two furry pups, one that we welcomed as a 6 week old puppy and another that we adopted as an adult. As a remote, work from home couple, we have the convenience to offer your fur baby with all the attention, walks, and care they need.

“Susana is always very good with Papaya, she is attentive, responsive and very reliable and eases my mind when I’m away for work when I need care for my lovely cat!”
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have had my own dog for the past ten years. I have experience with many types of dogs and understand that each pup has special needs and requires attention and care. I (and my dog) treat any guests as family, since we know how much they mean to you. I am currently not working so have plenty of time to care for your pets! I of course make time to walk my own pup, but am otherwise free to play with yours. I am also happy to bring my dog along on walks if your pet would like a friend. I am a former attorney so appreciate rules and structure. While I allow freedom in my own home as to furniture, I would absolutely respect any rules you have in that regard, as well as any crate training. I have experience caring for multiple pets at a time and understand and can work with their dynamics, no matter the situation.
“Joanna did a fantastic job caring for my kitty Maggie! Kept me up to date with how she was doing with screenshots! Joanna was also really friendly and responsive. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irving
Winta was phenomenal. Upon meeting she was very friendly, caring and welcoming and treated our dog the same. She sent very detailed daily updates and tons of pictures. She was very attentive to our dogs needs and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in her care. 10/10 would recommend and will most definitely be booking again.
Booked again with Unapol since my baby did so well with them last time. They were able to come an extra time one day when I was worried about some tummy issues and checked my house for accidents. Feels good knowing I can depend on them to do what’s best for my pupper when I’m away. Thanks!

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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Irving choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
