About: As a devoted pet owner and animal lover, I understand that pets are more than just animals- they’re family. For the past 15 years I’ve cared for my beloved husky through every stage of life, giving me firsthand experience with senior pet care, patience, and understanding unique needs I offer flexible scheduling throughout the day and evening to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or overnight care, I’m available to help keep your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I carefully follow your pet’s routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and ensure their safety and well-being are always my top priorities. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive compassionate care while your home remains clean, secure, and well cared for during your time away.
“Desiree did a wonderful job watching our two girls. One of which is very cautious of strangers. We will definitely be using her for dog sitting in the future and recommending to family and 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.”
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.
“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.”
“Natasha was absolutely amazing! We have a very anxious cat and she went at his pace when she came to check on him and we couldn't be anymore thankful. She was extremely communicative and let us know what was going on every step of the way. Very detailed check ins! It's hard to find a cat person on rover but we are so glad we found Natasha!! Thank you so much!”
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.
“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: For 3 years, I’ve consistently cared for my friend’s dog that include daily walks, feedings, and playtime. Reliable, loving, and always treating pets like family. As a full-time student, pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule. I’m looking for a part-time job with hours that adapt to my classes. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely specifically feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful sitter. If you want someone dependable trustworthy contact Kaitlyn. She looked and saw what we needed for a sitter. She did exactly as contracted and she went above to take car of our fur baby”
“Shawndra was great! She kept me updated with pics and took great care of our senior dog, Gus. Reliable, professional, and super easy to communicate with. I’d definitely hire her again!"”
“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.”
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.
“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 have worked for two doggie daycares in Texas along with interning at a vet clinic and working for a pet sitting company in Colorado. I also took multiple animal science And veterinary medicine classes in highschool and am a wildlife major in college. I have had dogs and cats since I was young and have experience with SubQ fluids, insulin injections, transdermal medications, and intramuscular injections. I have loved working with animals since I can remember, it is a passion I love and getting to hang out with so many wonderful animals is like a form of therapy to me. Personally I spend multiple hours a day loving on and playing with my own kitty here at home. His favorite time to play is after his post meal groom sesh and I clean his litter box every night. As far as pet sitting, I'd like to fit in 3 days of pet care into my summer routine to keep me active while also meeting new people and their not so human babies. Even if I don't have anything for the day I am happy to take last minute visits to help people out and make sure their babies are cared for. In my home my pet comes first, he gets his dinner before I've even started cooking my own. When he wants to play he gets his play time and I always check to make sure his water is fresh and clean multiple times a day and his litter box is cleaned every night. I also make sure that after our play session he gets a few toy options so he can entertain himself if he gets bored before the next play session. When I am pet sitting I always account for all pets first and then make sure water is refreshed or refilled. I then get onto feeding or any medications that may need to be given And while the babies eat I clean any litter boxes, pee pads, accidents or anything of the sort unless it is a hazard then that is first priority. Lovings, of course, is given throughout the whole process and playtime is given at the end unless my client deems a different order is followed. I try to stay as close to their normal schedule as possible.
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.
About: Hi there! My name is Kenzie, and I’m an experienced dog lover and caretaker with a passion for providing dogs with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve.

I live on a farm, so I’m used to being around animals, and I’m comfortable walking dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have my own eight-year-old husky named Kylo, who is friendly, calm, and loves meeting new dog friends. I also have a four-year-old son who keeps us busy and playful! I offer dog walking, house sitting, and other pet care services, and you can count on me to treat your pets as my own. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and committed to giving your dog the best care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Joshua
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!

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.

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.
