About: I’m a retired educator and animal lover with the time and flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for my own animals for years, completed two long-distance puppy transports from DFW to Charlotte and Los Angeles, and have repeat sitting experience with my cousin’s two dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and patient caring for your pets and home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications if needed. What sets me apart is that I have the time to truly focus on your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also believe good communication matters, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m retired, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet would receive lots of attention, companionship, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, or quiet time. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by keeping their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision. I will always treat your home with respect and care while making your pet’s safety and comfort my top priority. I pay close attention to routines, instructions, and any special needs to help pets feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I believe in keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Jennifer was great! I was expecting someone to come by, love on our pups a few & make sure they had fresh water/were fed while we were out of town. She came to meet us/meet them before we left & brought treats for them. She also excerised them daily and truly cared about their wellbeing. Updates, good pictures, great communication...and even gifted them each a toy. Could not say enough about her.”
About: Hi there! I'm dedicated to providing your beloved pets with the highest standard of care right in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. As an experienced and passionate pet sitter, I offer personalized attention, ensuring your furry, feathered, or scaled family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and make them feel at home! I'm available for boarding on weekends. I have a fenced yard and playground for your pup, and a special pet room with Dog TV for relaxation. Two friendly dogs are available to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Cole and Casey were super easy to work with and took great care of my kitty while I was out of town on internships! They went above and beyond! I would recommend them to any of my friends!”
“Remington was excellent. Communication lines were clear and open. And I could tell from the photos sent that my dog--who does not make friends easily-- was completely at ease. If my job brings me back this way, Remington will be high on my list of petsitters to contact.”
“Desiree did a very good job taking care of my three fur babies this holiday. Gave usual updates on the needs and care of them. Would definitely would be using her services again”
“Sara was hands down the best we have used off Rover. She showed up promptly as discussed left the best messages and pictures on the cards and loved our pups as her own ! I usually have such anxiety leaving our pups so we take less trips due to this but we trusted her reviews and she did not disappoint!! We will forever use Sara as long as she is on Rover ! I would even plan my trips around her availability to make sure she was the one watching our pups ! Thank you Sara for your great care you took of our pups you are the best !!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I have a dog of my own, I watch my friends and family’s dogs all the time. I love animals and would take such good care of them! I currently have a part time job, I’m also in college. My schedule is pretty flexible anytime really works for me! Just text me times and I’ll let you know if I can do it! I walk my dogs on leashes and harnesses. If I’m in your home I will do whatever yall ask me to. I love to give treats if yall are okay with that.
“Alyssa took fantastic care of our dog. Our dog immediately warmed up. She went above and beyond playing with her and giving her attention. We will definitely be coming back to her when we need someone to watch our dog.”
“Hanna is fantastic! She is so friendly and communicates extremely well. She went above and beyond for our girls; spending extra time at our home, caring for our chickens, and happily accommodating our girls' quirks. You should absolutely use Hanna for your pet care needs...just not when we need her! :)”
About: Since I was 11, I have helped out friends and family take care of their pets. I have walked, fed, and have showed their pets so much love and care. I am 19 years old (I know, may sound scary to some), but I am the biggest animal person ever and have experience in taking care of animals. I begin my Sophomore year at Tarleton State University in Stephenville this August. I am still wanting to watch over pets close to home until then. I have grown up with animals and I am currently trying to earn a little extra money for college. I have a 6 foot fenced yard that is half a acre big. This is plenty of room for you pet to play with my three other dogs. I have two crates if your pet/pets are needing to be crated. If you need, I would be happy to overnight sit with your pet as well.
“Suzanne’s very kind and gave lots of pictures and information about my sweet boy. He is definitely a wild puppy and she spent time with him and cared for him well. I felt confident leaving him in her care and will book again for sure!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to dogs! I grew up in a 5-dog household, so chaos, cuddles, and constant tail wags have always been normal for me. I’ve also been dog sitting for my grandma since I was about 12 (22 now) whenever she travels, helping with feeding, walks, and general care. Now I live on a ranch with 3 dogs, plus horses & other animals. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a business owner with a flexible schedule, I have the ability to adjust my routine to accommodate pet care on my days off. I take Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off, and I’m available after 3 PM on Saturdays sometimes earlier upon request. This gives me plenty of time to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I prioritize ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need during my available hours. When I’m watching pets at their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just hanging out, I keep them busy and happy while giving them some love and attention. I also take care to keep their space tidy and make sure everything is safe for the pets. My goal is to make them feel like they’re getting all the love and care they need while their owner is away.
About: Experienced in puppy training, senior dog care, and administering medications, I provide personalized attention and love to ensure every pup feels happy, safe, and cared for. I am currently working right now in the morning time until 3 in the afternoon, any time after i am available for you and your pet needs. I provide a safe, loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether in my home or the client’s, I ensure comfort, exercise, meals, and personalized attention.
About: I do dog training. I love playing with dogs and cats and other animals as well. I am really gentle with senior pets and making sure they get the best care. I try to get my work done in the morning or sometimes I will stay up late to work. I try to make time to take care of myself and the animals. I try to make time for my pets to play with. I have a feeding schedule for them. I also take care of my barn animals.
About: I am new to professional pet sitting. I’ve always owned my own pets and care for them very well. I look forward to meeting you. I’m currently working full time from home. I’m more flexible at the end of the week during the day than the beginning of the week. I prefer specific instructions on how to properly care for your pet. Tell me what they need and I’ll get it done. Feel free to trust me.
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Some helpful things to know about me is that I have 5+ years experience in animal care. I've worked at animal shelters and as a manager at a pet daycare/boarding facility, I also have done pet sitting and dog walking on my own in the past. I've recently moved to the area and want to continue working with animals. I am responsible, reliable and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to send lots of updates and pictures so you know your pets are well taken care of. I have just recently moved to Alvarado and left my job at Operation Kindness Humane Society because the commute would of been too long. So my schedule is very open as of right now while I look for another job. I have a large yard, however it is not fully fenced. If you'd like for your pup to come to my house I would walk them to go potty. I also have 2 dogs that are dog friendly so if your pup likes to play they will get along great. My dogs are fully vaccinated and up to date all all shots and preventions. For your baby to stay with me I would need to see vaccination records, just to make sure everyone is safe and healthy. If you'd prefer me to pet sit at your home I am more than happy to do that as well and stay consistent with the daily routine you have with your animals. This is usually my preferred way, as it is less stressful for your animals to be in a familiar environment.
“Candace is absolutely awesome. The dogs love having her over and play as if she’s one of their other mommies. She’s been a lifesaver when last minute. I recommend in a heartbeat. 💯”
About: Growing up on a farm I am no stranger to all kinds of animals! I have cared for every type of pet including Puppies, Senior Dogs, Cats, All Farm Animals, Birds, Reptiles, and more! Giving love to pets while their owners are away is the best job in the world! I treat every animal as if it was my own! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own and love them to pieces. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I currently work part time in the greater Phoenix/Scottsdale Area. I have usually all mornings and evenings free as I mainly work during the day. However my schedule is super flexible and I have lots of days off! With caring for your pets in your home I make sure they are just as comfortable as if you were home! I have no issues with any animals or the age of those animals. When doing overnight care I include basic cleaning and household tasks if requested.

Miranda was fantastic! My dogs are incredibly anxious so I've been hesitant to go out of town and have someone else care for them. Miranda was patient and understanding, and everything went great! My cat is currently having some medical issues and is defecating every where but the litter box. Miranda was very understanding as we try to figure out what's going on. She gave me the ability to take my kids on vacation and know that our pets were well cared for. I highly recommend, and will use again in the future. Thank you!

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 Joshua 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.
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 Joshua 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Joshua with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
