About: Pets aren’t just my first love—they’re my passion and the heart of what I do. I’ve built my career around caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a veterinary technician with over 5 years of experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs, including administering medications, handling emergencies, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I’ve also been pet sitting for 3 years and have been caring for and walking dogs my entire life, including my own pets and those of friends and neighbors. My veterinary background allows me to provide an extra level of confidence and peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions and accommodate your preferences. I know pets are more than companions—they’re family and our best friends. My goal is to make sure they feel just as happy, safe, and loved while they’re in my care as they do at home. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially because I work from home. I’m able to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and regular care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be present and attentive rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. As a veterinary technician, caring for animals is already a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow each owner’s instructions and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions. As a veterinary technician with over 5 years of experience, I’m also comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs that may require additional attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, meals, and lots of love. Since I work from home, I’m able to be present and give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day.
About: Hello, I’ve been a dog (and cat) owner my whole life, recently having to put my dog Valek of 14 years to sleep, and now my cat Baby Meowy. I haven’t gotten a new dog yet, but look to borrow my friend’s dogs to dog sit and cuddle with. Now I figure, hey, might as well do it as a part time job, too! I have boarded dogs at my place as well as stayed at other friend’s houses to pet sit and house sit at the same time. Dogs usually love me, so I don’t anticipate any problems taking care of your pet. I can also handle larger breeds as well. I look forward to helping you out and to help you feel comfortable while leaving your home for a trip or vacation!

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.
