About: I have had dogs my whole life. I love to walk them and take them for rides. I love finding new enrichment activities for them I am a stay at home dog mom with time to spare. I am available to do drop in visits and weekend overnight stays for your fur family members. I will follow any directions and instructions you give for your fur babies. I will treat and love them as I do my own dogs.
“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!”
“Tayler did a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 dogs while we were on a cruise. She came and met the girls before the trip so that they would be comfortable with her. We also gave permission for her daughter to come with her and my dogs loved her daughter. I was nervous to leave the girls as one is medicated for a newly diagnosed condition. Tayler eased my nerves by keeping in contact with me about how she was eating and acting. I did not have access to the Rover app during the majority of my cruise so Tayler submitted feedback and pics in the app but would also send me updates via email as I did have access to email. This extra step in communication was very much appreciated. My 2 girls had so much fun with her at each visit. The pictures were great to receive. I will definitely book with Tayler again in the future.”
“Desiree did a very good job taking care of my three fur babies this holiday. Gave usual updates on the needs and care of them. Would definitely would be using her services again”
“Brandon and Melissa were very prompt, follow directions well, and made sure that Holmes was comfortable and well taken care of. He is stubborn about eating his food when stressed out and they sat and hand fed him until he started to eat on his own. They sent lots of pictures and were very communicative. I would use them again!”
“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!!”
“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: Hi! My name is Josie, and I love ALL dogs. I have two at home and they get tired of how often I want to stroll with them. I am a very active person and travel enthusiast, and I understand although it breaks our heart to leave them we can't always take our best friends with us. I would love the opportunity to help with your's when you are at work or away! I have never met a dog I didn't get along with. I have complete confidence in my ability to connect with your pup and provide them with all the affection and care they deserve. I am happy to accommodate special requests as well, like ice in the water, carefully measuring portions, separate feeding ares, or other little things that make everyone happy. I am retired from the Air Force and have an open and flexible schedule. This is great because I am available to accommodate youre beloved pup's needs! Drop in visits in your home will be the place your dog is most comfortable and happy. With your instruction I will always do my best to keep them happy in your absence.
“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.”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Some helpful things to know about me is that I have 5+ years experience in animal care. I've worked at animal shelters and as a manager at a pet daycare/boarding facility, I also have done pet sitting and dog walking on my own in the past. I've recently moved to the area and want to continue working with animals. I am responsible, reliable and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to send lots of updates and pictures so you know your pets are well taken care of. I have just recently moved to Alvarado and left my job at Operation Kindness Humane Society because the commute would of been too long. So my schedule is very open as of right now while I look for another job. I have a large yard, however it is not fully fenced. If you'd like for your pup to come to my house I would walk them to go potty. I also have 2 dogs that are dog friendly so if your pup likes to play they will get along great. My dogs are fully vaccinated and up to date all all shots and preventions. For your baby to stay with me I would need to see vaccination records, just to make sure everyone is safe and healthy. If you'd prefer me to pet sit at your home I am more than happy to do that as well and stay consistent with the daily routine you have with your animals. This is usually my preferred way, as it is less stressful for your animals to be in a familiar environment.
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! :)

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.
