“This was the first time we left our dog with someone other than family and I was so nervous! Omg! Taylor and Justin were amazing with him! Now we have sitters for him and can relax when we need to travel. We know he is in good hands! I highly recommend them! Thank you Taylor and Justin, for taking such good care of Peanut!”
“Very caring and detailed. Took care of Titus and gave thorough updates and pics which I loved and appreciate as a sitter. She dropped in 3 times total and Was on time every time. It feels good to know someone cares for your pup as much as you and for that i will use her again in the future. Thanks Corine!”
“Jasmine did a great job handling our three dogs while we were out of town. She always arrived on the schedule we asked her to, provided their food/medicine when they needed them, and sent us pictures along the way. I would highly recommend Jasmine as your petsitter. We will use her again, she did a great job!”
“Special thank you to Amber for taking such great care of our kitties. It is such a relief for us to know you are taking care and playing with them. Thanks for the great updates and pics!!!”
“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!”
“Honey and I will very much miss Reina as she starts her new job. Reina is the perfect person to care for your cherished dog. She truly takes care for it playing, sending detailed notes and photos. You never have to worry.”
“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.”
“I warned Amanda that my female GSD can be very reactive and mistrustful of new people. She proved us wrong by taking to Amanda right away! Anyone that can earn Ripley’s trust that fast is wonderful in my book. We are so excited to have Amanda as our new Rover for drop-ins.”
“"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sara, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she truly cares about dogs and their well-being. Sara took the time to get to know my dogs, Zoey & Buster, and made sure to understand their routine, preferences, and any special needs. Sara did two drop in visits each day & besides providing loving care for my dogs, she watered my plants, brought mail in, and made sure the house was ok. I received regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. It was evident that Sara provided my senior dogs the human touch they need which left my dogs happy and content when I returned home. I highly recommend Sara to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Her passion for animals and attentive care made all the difference for me and my two senior dogs. Thank you so much for your wonderful service!"”
“Alexandria was great with our dogs! Was never in a rush, gave medications, and became fast friends with our pups. They communicated very well and the report cards were great. Loved the photos. Will book again.”
“Desiree was great! Showed up right on time for each visit, had no issues with all of my instructions and most importantly all four of my dogs were comfortable with her. Certainly recommend and will be using her services again!”
“Five Stars! Andrea was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! It was such a relief to find someone so reliable during the busy holiday season. She was incredibly attentive and followed every instruction in our care notes for both pets perfectly. Her rates are very reasonable for the high level of care she provides—you won’t be disappointed if you book with her!”
“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’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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Joshua on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,874 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
