“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my four kitties. She played with them and gave them love while taking care of their feeding schedule and watering needs. They were not stressed out when I returned home and that is so worth it! We will be using her again. Thanks Jennifer!”
“Tricia was SO responsive both before and during our booking. We did a meet-and-greet and felt very confident leaving her to check in on our babies. Our crazy 50 lb dog is already a lot, but then he unexpectedly had dental surgery a few days before our trip. Tricia made us feel confident he’d be carefully watched and get all his meds in the six days we were out of town! She sent such thoughtful and detailed updates with every check-in, and always sent numerous adorable pictures of our pups. They were clearly happy and having a good time with her 😊 she even watered our flowers for us so they wouldn’t die in the Texas heat!! We hope we can book her again for our next vacation! 🐶🐶❤️”
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! :)
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I love going for walks with them and taking them for rides in my truck. I love finding new enrichment activities so they can use their brains in a different fun way. One of my favorite activities is to take them swimming I’m currently a domestic engineer with time to do drop in visits to your home. I am also available for dog walking weather permitting and house sitting on weekends and holidays. I will follow any directions and instructions you give for your animals and I will treat them the exact same way as I treat my own animals.
About: Hello, I have been raised with and cared for dog almost my entire life. I have had friends and family rely on me for dog care for periods of time. I am currently a PhD student at Texas Tech studying animal science. I also have dog of my own I love and care for. I love to take my dog on walks and play fetch in the evenings and during the day on weekends. I can care for your animal at your home and take care of all needs. I do not keep other pets at my home, but I can take your pet on walks and play outside of owners house.
“Cole and Casey were great! I have a chihuahua who can be a little sassy/unpredictable, but they were so patient with him. They became best friends by the end of it! So glad I found Cole and Casey(:”
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 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.
“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!!”

“Dear Alexandria, I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for watching my two bulldogs. I truly appreciate you taking the time to care for them and give them the attention, love, and patience they needed while I was away. Knowing they were in good hands gave me such peace of mind. They can definitely be a handful sometimes, but you took great care of them, and I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you again for everything you did. It means more to me than you know, and I really appreciate having someone I can trust with my two babies! Sincerely, Michael and Terri”
“Janelle did several drop in visits to check on my puppy while I was gone. She was so great! Very responsive to messages and provided updates and pictures while taking care of my pup. She”
“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. 💯”
“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.”
“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.”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Joshua on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,870 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.
