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.
“Once again, the only sitter I trust with my cats! Another amazing drop in experience while on vacation. Your service is unmatched! See you again soon!”
“Jennifer was great taking care of my two cats. I challenged her to get my Archie on her lap because he hides from everyone BUT in a little over one week he was!! She really spent time loving on my two boys and it was very much appreciated. I will continue to use her every time I need a pet sitter. THANK YOU JENNIFER 💜”

They are spoiled rotten and loved beyond belief! :)
“Amber was so wonderful with both my dogs. She constantly checked in with me, and sent me pictures of how they were doing. While I was gone, I didn’t worry at all that they were being taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to love your fur babies. ♥️”
“Emma was so good with our babies. She gave them lots of tummy rubs.We enjoyed the pictures and it was very comforting to know everyone was ok while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Emma.”

Giving love to pets while their owners are away is the best job in the world! I treat every animal as if it was my own! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own and love them to pieces. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I currently work part time in the greater Phoenix/Scottsdale Area. I have usually all mornings and evenings free as I mainly work during the day. However my schedule is super flexible and I have lots of days off! With caring for your pets in your home I make sure they are just as comfortable as if you were home! I have no issues with any animals or the age of those animals. When doing overnight care I include basic cleaning and household tasks if requested.
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.
About: I do dog training. I love playing with dogs and cats and other animals as well. I am really gentle with senior pets and making sure they get the best care. I try to get my work done in the morning or sometimes I will stay up late to work. I try to make time to take care of myself and the animals. I try to make time for my pets to play with. I have a feeding schedule for them. I also take care of my barn animals.
About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to dogs! I grew up in a 5-dog household, so chaos, cuddles, and constant tail wags have always been normal for me. I’ve also been dog sitting for my grandma since I was about 12 (22 now) whenever she travels, helping with feeding, walks, and general care. Now I live on a ranch with 3 dogs, plus horses & other animals. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a business owner with a flexible schedule, I have the ability to adjust my routine to accommodate pet care on my days off. I take Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off, and I’m available after 3 PM on Saturdays sometimes earlier upon request. This gives me plenty of time to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I prioritize ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need during my available hours. When I’m watching pets at their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just hanging out, I keep them busy and happy while giving them some love and attention. I also take care to keep their space tidy and make sure everything is safe for the pets. My goal is to make them feel like they’re getting all the love and care they need while their owner is away.
About: hello there, I’ve worked in Animal control for over 5 years now. I started off as a shelter technician and I’m currently a vet technician. I can say I know my way of understanding an animals need/wants. Animals are very precious to me, this is my passion and I love being around all kinds of animals! I’m a full time vet technician working Wednesday-Saturday from 6am-5pm! On my days off I normally go out to find new adventures/activities with my animals, or I make sure I get important things completed. I currently live in a cottage with my own fenced backyard as well as shareable park with my neighbors. I love taking my dogs on walks to socialize with other dogs and people as well as getting exercise.
“I have an 11 year old large breed dog with multiple health problems and Rachel takes excellent care of him, often managing multiple medications and maintaining his complex schedule with competency and care. She truly loves him as if he's her own fur baby. She also takes great care of my plants. I have known her for 9 years, and she is extremely reliable and trustworthy. He's the only person I'd trust him with. It's so nice to be able to relax knowing he's in good hands. The peace of mind she provides when I'm gone is so valuable!”
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.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Joshua is $20 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 2,831 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 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
