“Daniella did great with checking in on our dogs! They seemed to enjoy their walks with her and didn't have any issues. She left good notes about her visits and was easy to communicate with. We needed additional care for the week and she was willing and able to continue helping out, which was greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend Daniella and rebook her.”

About: I grew up being the neighborhood go-to for pet sitting. I've even done long term stays with pets while their owners are gone. I love every animal like they are my own and am great with both cats and dogs. I am currently a full time student at George Mason University. Summer break is around the corner and my schedule will better allow for me to care for your pets! In the meantime time, my availability is as shown on my profile! While I do not have the capacity to bring other animals into my home, any pet trusted in my care will be treated with love and respect in the comfort of their own space.
“Marina always takes great care of our dogs. She has a patient way with our needy coonhound mix which we so appreciate. Marina is reliable, punctual and kind. Thank you again, Marina.”
“Shavedra took great care of our kitties! She sent daily updates and pictures. We didn't realize we were low on dry food, but she let us know in time for us to order delivery. We highly recommend her and will be asking her to sit for us in the future. Thank you, Shavedra!”
“Clara was prompt, professional and caring with our two dogs. We appreciated her communication and photos when we were gone. It was comforting to know she taking good care of our girls when we were visiting with family.”
“Allie did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure that our cat was well cared for and comfortable. She was very responsive when we had questions, as well. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy when we returned. We highly recommend Allie!”
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”

She even handled a few unexpected messes with kindness and without hesitation, which I truly appreciated. I came home to two happy dogs and would absolutely book Melissa again!”
About: I have cared for family and friends’ pets who rely on me for loving, dependable support. I have provided feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and companionship while making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability to provide your pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment where pets feel happy and loved. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet I care for.

“Melissa was amazing with our German Shepherd! She showed up with short notice for a meet and greet and was very knowledgeable and comfortable with Ramsey. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: Growing up in the Philippines with 16 dogs in our home is what really sparked my love for animals. I’ve always been surrounded by pets and have loved caring for them from a young age. To me, animals are such a precious part of life, and I truly believe life would be so boring without them. I have cared for senior dogs and those that have medical needs. Since I am home 24/7, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my day rather than squeezed into a busy schedule. I am home full-time, ensuring your pet is never left alone and always has company. I provide frequent potty breaks throughout the day based on your pet’s specific needs and routine. I dedicate one to two hours each day to focused playtime and exercise, keeping your pet mentally and physically stimulated. Whether it’s a mid-morning stretch or an afternoon game of fetch, your pet becomes a natural part of my daily routine. With your permission, I will also take your pet to the park. To ensure your pet’s safety, I maintain a hazard-free home and a secure, fenced yard. I closely supervise all outdoor time, provide constant access to fresh water, and make sure your pet does not overheat during hot weather.
About: I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I always stick to your pet’s routine. I also make sure they’re having fun and feeling loved. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get plenty of updates (and lots of cute photos) while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in, or boarding, my goal is always the same: a happy pet and total peace of mind for you. I currently work full-time but am available for midday visits/drop ins. I have a lot of availability on the weekends for whatever your booking needs may be. I live in a complex with a dog-park and plenty of walking trails. I am able to crate dogs easily crate pets and am comfortable being around pets of all sizes.
“They were amazing!! Our cats were well cared for, and we received several photos and videos of our cats :) We would heavily recommend that you go with Amanda for all your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I’ve had pets on my life, ranging from small to big. I have a 13 year-old rescue dog. I’ve had fish, rabbits, hamsters, a cat, a rat, lizards, and four dogs. Not all at once! Pets have always been a part of my family. I’d happily be temporary family to yours. I’ve just moved from California here to attend nursing school. I have two kids for half the week. I will have every other weekend and holiday available. I joined Rover for the flexibility and to be able to take care of some cool pet while I don’t have my kids. I will not tell you how I will care for your pet. I will listen and follow your instructions. Every pet like any child is so different. I’m here to make the experience specific and comfortable for them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past few years. I am 32 years old. Neighbors, friends of family, family… walk, feed, sleep over and play. I am a teacher so between the months of July and August I will have availability between Monday-Friday during the day and night at any point of the day. I just recently moved to the area, so I have a lot more freedom up until mid august! I am very active and constantly going on walks and I would love to have your dogs join me! I also would love just popping in to let your dog out or feed them daily if need be!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child starting with my personal dog. I have experience with administering medication and treating wounds. I also have experience with taking care of dogs that are not mine. I have taken care of my family friends dog for about a year. I have experience with taking care of dogs of all sizes. I am currently working a 9-5 full time job I will be able to take care of pets anytime after work and I have full availability on the weekends. When taking care of pets I always stay respectful and mindful of the owner’s boundaries. I make sure to show the animals plenty of love and care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Ridge
We couldn't be happier with Dawson's care for our two hounds — Cleo and Clover might love him more than us now! He kept us updated with regular photos, communicated clearly, and treated our girls with so much love and compassion. We’d gladly hire him again anytime!
Gabriela has built a great relationship with my two dogs. They totally enjoy her and are excited to see her every time. Gabriela is the only one I have been able to trust with my pets since I’ve moved them here. Her availability is always convenient and she always gives great updates during the day. We are so appreciative her services.
Our expectations were well exceeded by Mary’s excellent communication and her adherence to our agreed schedules. We hadn’t left our pup for an extended period before and was grateful to Mary for her care. We would definitely consider hiring Mary again if she was available! We are particularly pleased when our dog’s pet sitter treats her almost as well as we do with conversation and pets.
Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!
Camila was great! She took wonderful care of Bucky, making sure he was fed, loved, and spoiled with treats. She was also very understanding when we had to cancel a visit, which we really appreciated. She’s kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I would happily recommend her!
Daniella did great with checking in on our dogs! They seemed to enjoy their walks with her and didn't have any issues. She left good notes about her visits and was easy to communicate with. We needed additional care for the week and she was willing and able to continue helping out, which was greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend Daniella and rebook her.
Andrew is an absolute dream dog walker! He’s communicative, takes fantastic pics of our pups, and executed lots of complex instructions on short notice. He came to meet our pups before a week away and they love him. We are definitely going to request him again for future needs!
Sara was flexible in finding a drop in schedule that worked for us, great at communication and sent updates and the sweetest pictures of our dog while we were out of town. We will absolutely use her again if we’re in the area and will recommend to friends and neighbors!
Samantha is so Amazing !! I ended up having to go out of town last min and Samantha was able to help me out very quickly . She was so great with both my pups I can tell that they loved her. She sent me pictures every time she checked in on them and even gave me an update on how they both was doing. I will definitely be booking with Samantha again in the future.If I could give her 100 stars I would.

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 Lake Ridge 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Ridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lake Ridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
