“Valeria gave great photos of my animals and spent quality time with them. I could tell my dog warmed up to her quickly and appreciated her patience and joy for caring for animals!”
About: I have had a pet ever since I can remember. I can walk, pet sit, or provide any help that your pet might need. I’m also fluent in Spanish! Howdy! My name is Isa and I recently moved to DFW for my first big girl job! I decided to get on Rover because I love to go on long walks and what better way to do that than with a pet? And who doesn’t like some extra fun money? If you’d like to book me as your pet sitter, feel free to contact me regarding a specific time or date, and I’ll be happy to accommodate to your schedule. But generally speaking, I’m available right after work (usually 5:30 or 6 PM) for walks or drop-ins until 9 PM, and all day on the weekends. I also work from home Mondays and Fridays most weeks, which means I have more flexibility those days. I’m very playful with pets in general and I’m not afraid of high energy levels. I will make sure that your pet is taken care of - there is no task too small or too big! Safety always comes first.
“Thank you for looking after Zyla! I caught her reaction to having you come in and I’m almost worried she likes you more than me now. She clearly felt very happy & comfortable to see you, so for that, I appreciate you.”
About: I've been helping my family to care for our animals since I was 8— and I had a cat of my own for 13 years, so I know what steady, attentive care looks like over the long haul. I've pet sat kittens and puppies for friends, handling feeding and medication schedules while owners were away. I've also given regular diabetes medication to a friend's cat, so I'm confident administering medication reliably and on schedule. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available after 3:30pm Tuesday through Friday, and completely free all day Saturday through Monday. This makes me a great fit for house sitting, whether it's a quick weekday check-in or a full weekend stay where I can be there around the clock. Since I only offer house sitting, I care for pets entirely in their own home, keeping their routine and environment as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely for feeding, medication, and exercise schedules, and I'm comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, making sure doors and gates stay secured and pets are never left unsupervised for long stretches.
“All of my dogs and my cat loved her! She was great with all of them and I’m definitely booking her again. She even cleaned their food bowls - a chore I typically put off for waaay too long 😂”
“As a pet sitter myself, it is hard to find someone who meets my standards. Winta did great with my kiddos and communicated great. She kept my informed when an issue came up. She worked with my family when we had to make changes last minute. I would recommend her and use her again.”
“Unapol took excellent care of my senior special needs pup while I was out of town for a family event :) I received regular updates and pictures and my dog was very comfortable with them. I highly recommend them to anyone!”
“John did an excellent job taking care of my dogs, Sadie and Artax. He was punctual, friendly, and communicated perfectly throughout the entire process. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates and professionalism. I would absolutely recommend John to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to care for their pets.”
About: I am fully retired and dogsitting is my only job. Therefore no distractions and your dog will get my full attention. You also get three pairs of eyes. I’m a mom and a wife! My husband and daughter stay at home. If your pet is okay with family vibes we would be a perfect fit! Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by animals of all kinds—cows, goats, chickens, dogs, and more. Caring for them wasn’t just a chore; it was a way of life. Because of that, taking care of pets comes naturally to me. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or just giving them the love and attention they need, I instinctively know how to handle animals with patience and care. Beyond basic pet sitting, I have experience training puppies, caring for senior pets, and handling animals with special needs. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a structured routine, or gentle care in their older years, I’m here to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We don’t do big dogs for boarding we focus on 0-15 lbs or something close. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my main job and my passion. Since I grew up on a farm caring for animals every day, looking after pets feels like second nature to me. Now, as a professional pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around making sure every pet I care for is happy, healthy, and well looked after. From morning walks and feeding schedules to playtime, training, and even senior pet care, I tailor my days to fit each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s a midday check-in, an overnight stay, or specialized care, I’m fully dedicated to giving pets the love and attention they need while their owners are away.
About: I've had a dog for over 10 years, including a chihuahua and currently a 6 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I've also cared for various breeds, including miniature poodles and huskies, offering personalized care for different needs and sizes. I work hybrid, which allows me to offer extended weekend stays starting Thursday evening. This gives families a chance ti enjoy a longer getaway while thier pets receive personal care. Your dog will have company from my friendly Jack Russell Terrier, and we'll enjoy doggy dates at the park ensuring your pet has fun, exercise, and plenty of companionship. In my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment for all pets. I ensure they have their own space to relax, and I will follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I provide plenty of attention ans companionship, with my Jack Russel Terrier as a playmate for social dogs. If a client's pet has specific needs, I'm happy to accommodate those ensuring they feel at home while being well cared for.
“Leslie was amazing! She took good care of my senior dogs and the stray cat we fed. She asked questions, sent pictures, and was a great communicator! I appreciate her help in such short notice!”
“Robin seems to be very knowledgeable about cats. My cat, Hana, is extremely shy and timid, but by the second day of Robin’s visits, she was already showing her belly to her which made me surprise!!😮 I truly appreciated her care. I will definitely request her again next time. Thank you so much, Robin!”
About: Hi! I’m a stay at home human mom to one 5 month old and a mom to 3 furry babes! I’d love the opportunity to host your furry kids in my home and love them like my own. My dogs even have their own “room” in my home. I don’t have the biggest yard but we go on daily walks around my neighborhood and i have lots of dog treats! I’ll parent your fur kids the same way you do and keep up with their normal feeding and potty schedules. My baby has her own baby dedicated space to play so your dogs will never be left unsupervised with her and since I’m one full time it makes it very easy for me to keep an eye on everyone!

Valeria is amazing! After my original plan for my cat to be watched went south at the very last minute, Valeria came to my rescue! The same day I booked, she was able to come and do a site visit to see my space and to see my Romy! Each day she checked in on time and made sure my baby girl was okay. Valeria really helped put my mind at ease knowing my baby was home alone for 5 days. Thank you so much! I will absolutely use Valeria 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!
Lauren was absolutely amazing with my cats! She went above and beyond in every way and made being away from them so much less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. My cats were so comfortable with her, and I came home to very happy kitties. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful cat sitter!
Mikayla did an amazing job cat sitting for us over our two week vacation. She provided really fun updates and photos over the two weeks and put us at ease that our cat was getting attention (and treats)! Everything went extremely smoothly, would highly recommend.
Robin seems to be very knowledgeable about cats. My cat, Hana, is extremely shy and timid, but by the second day of Robin’s visits, she was already showing her belly to her which made me surprise!!😮 I truly appreciated her care. I will definitely request her again next time. Thank you so much, Robin!
Ariana gave made me feel so comfortable with her love for cats. She brought a wrapped Christmas present for my little guy and sent me a video of him opening and enjoying a little treat. She is very sweet and kind person, 100% will be booking with her if I ever need a rover again!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 .
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.
