“What an amazing couple! They take such good care of our pooch and I wouldn’t trust him with anyone else! He is part of their family and they are now part of ours!”
“Gabrielle was just wonderful with visiting KoKo. She has great communication skills and sent 6 pictures of KoKo. KoKo enjoyed the all the great head scratches and petting. Thank you and will definitely use her services again.”
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.
“Amber was very communicative and showed an interest in my babies (3 cats). She cared for my pets and home as she would her own. I would definitely recommend her and hope to have her care for my pets again.”
About: I’m a dog breeder and lover of pets. Your babies are safe with me! I’m knowledgeable and will make sure your babies are taken care of! I work from home so I have a super flexible schedule! I am available all day and night. You get to relax while I get to love on animals. It’s a win win situation! I have 7 Frenchies and a 10 year old Chihuahua. My fur babies are my children. They are spoiled rotten and loved beyond belief! :)
“Lori is amazing! She is super sweet and super understanding. She did wonderful taking great care of my fur babies while away and messaged me letting me know how they are with pictures. One of my fur babies is timid with new people but she was able to get her very comfortable quickly. They are my babies so leaving them was so hard but she made me feel so much better about the whole process. Definitely recommend her and will definitely ask for her help in the future.”
“Jennifer was very diligent and personable which made it comforting to leave our cats in her care! She came to the house and took care of litter boxes, verified food and water levels, and spent time with both of our cats. When we got back, our cats showed no anxiety or distress after our time out of town and that can only truly be attributed to Jennifer! This experience has definitely been one that we are looking forward to repeating anytime we leave town!”
“Thank you Janelle for taking care of my baby while I was traveling! I was SO nervous to leave her with such short notice. I appreciate you keeping up with all of her food bowls given her kidney disease- eating and drinking is so important. You even cleaned up her mess that she makes with her food! :) Thank you so much and I will definitely use you again!!”
“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!”
“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!"”
“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.”
“Desireé was Great!! Spent quality time and took some great photos to keep us updated on BOTH our babies. No issues or concerns in the slightest!! Will definitely reach out for any future needs!”
About: I have always been the go to pet care taker in my family and with my friends because of my love for animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how important it is watching over someone’s pet they love. I have a miniature dachshund Mamas and she’s 17. I have a mixed breed Sunny that we adopted and he’s now 8. A couple of years ago he was diagnosed with Lupus. It’s been a tough journey for him but we have given him the proper treatment and care he needs. I give him medication everyday so I have experience with medicine! I’m currently working part time so I have open availability! I’m extremely flexible and make it easy for you and your pet. Thank you for thinking of me! I have a fenced in heard for my doggies, that way they are able to roam and sniff all they want. My senior dog loves to sun bathe while my other one likes to play with his toys.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, I also work at a doggy daycare so i’m very comfortable with all types of dogs and also enjoy spending time with all the animals i meet! I work 40 hours a week at a doggy daycare but I have 2 days off every week and would love to help out with animals! I will follow all your rules, send pictures of your fluffy friend and send many updates on how your animals are doing! I’m very comfortable with all types of dogs and can sense what their behaviors mean

Laura was wonderful! She cared for our dogs like her own. She is a great caregiver and very kind. Our dachshunds got along with hers and she sent several updates. I would recommend her any day. If you want your pups to come home healthy and happy she’s the perfect sitter. Thanks for taking such good care of our pups again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Joshua on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,988 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Joshua. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joshua. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 pet, 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.
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.
