“Taylor was absolutely amazing, she did a drop by to meet Twitty before we started our visits and she was so nice. Updated us everytime she dropped by and sent us pics and videos of our cat while she was there. She let us know if there was anything going on. We are going to be using Taylor every time she is available and we are out of town. 100% would recommend anyone to use her. Thanks Taylor!!”
“Samantha and Brittany are wonderful sitters. Before them, I’d never hired sitters before but they’ve made the process very comfortable on top of take stellar care of by cat babies. They are sweet and caring and are great at following care instructions. I’ve hired them multiple times and will continue to whenever I have to leave town!”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I have plenty of experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I also understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I work full-time, but I have plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available all day Sunday through Tuesday. Wednesday through Saturday, I’m available around noon for drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, or other pet care needs. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m respectful of both the pet and the home, and I’ll provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.
About: I’m a big dog lover and truly enjoy giving dogs all the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m kind, patient, loving, and reliable, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their individual routines and needs. I’m also very good at communicating and will keep you updated about how your dog is doing, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like family! I work part-time and attend college, but I take time management very seriously and maintain a flexible schedule with plenty of free time. I also care for my own fur baby at home, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and consistency when it comes to pet care. I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I care for every pet with the same love, attention, and responsibility that I give my own fur baby. At home, I take her on walks every morning, make sure she always has fresh water, and give her treats and her favorite peanut butter. My family and I give her plenty of attention, including cuddles, affection, and companionship. She especially loves sunbathing and relaxing in her favorite chair with me! When caring for a client’s pet, I’m very open to learning and following their individual routine, preferences, and needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I want to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care.

About: I'm a pet parent, Army veteran and father. I have a husky mix who's a social butterfly and recently got a Xolo mix puppy. She's very playful but already very smart and eager to learn. I've worked with pets for about 5 years and have done many walks, boardings & sittings. I'm also used to walking dogs of all sizes and am fine with walking multiple dogs at once when utilizing the proper gear. I live with my adult age daughter who also works with dogs in our 2300 sq ft 2 story home so there's plenty of space for your pups. We have a yard and a doggy door for easy access. I have extra leashes, harnesses, food for dogs of all sizes/ages (wet and dry) bowls, beds, dog toys, treats and kennels. Dogs that board with me usually sleep on the pet beds or on my furniture but can be kenneled if that's the owners preference. I also work with cats but focus on dogs primarily. I currently work overnights but have lots of free time during the day and on weekends or holidays. I have done many overnight sittings and hundreds of walks/drop in visits. I never leave pets alone for longer than 3-4 hours when sitting. I only give approved treats to dogs and am used to administering medicines orally.
“As a Rover sitter myself, I’m picky about who takes care of my dogs. Sofia did a great job!! She communicated with me very well about how they behaved during the visit, which I really appreciated since both my pups are pretty shy. She really went above and beyond to make them comfortable and make sure they went potty. At the meet and greet, she even got some tail wags from my shyer pup - who doesn’t take to people super well - so I felt very comfortable leaving them in Sofia’s hands!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Joshua is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,828 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Joshua. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
