Breanna takes care of my three high energy dogs and keeps me updated with pictures on how they are doing. It helps me feel better to know she is checking in and taking care of them. She is also super responsive when I message her.

Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: Hi everyone! I'm Ashley, the owner of All Paws & Pastures, your new go-to for all things pet and farm care.🐾 ​Need a hand with your animals? I'm here for you! I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, from always having my own dogs/cats from the ripe age of 3, to fostering/volunteering since 2010 to working in the field since moving to the area early last year. ​My services are flexible and comprehensive, including but not limited to: *​Dog Walking & Pet Sitting (any time you're away)😺🐕 *​Farm Hand Services (from milking cows to mucking stalls & collecting eggs)🐮🐎 *​All-around Animal Care (for any need in between!) ​I am a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable caregiver with great references. Please send me a message to discuss your specific needs. I can't wait to meet your animals & treat them like my own Pet care IS my routine. I am a self-employed single mom and am able to be attentive to animals in my care. Other business ventures take a back seat when I have a pet booked so your babies will have all of my attention! Determining the needs of each client is unique to them; however, I treat each pet as if it were my own. At my home- I have a fenced yard, extra crates if needed, a runner line if needed and doggy gates inside for separated free roaming if needed. At clients home- I am there to keep the pets as much in their routine as possible. I come armed with treats, scratches & an understanding that some are shy a little longer than others. Check-ins on arrivals can be easily provided as well as many pictures!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve shared life with a collie, two Dobermans, a boxer, and a pair of West Highland White Terriers, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and quiet companionship. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention — just like one of my own! I own my own cleaning business and manage an Airbnb, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day and can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, morning potty break, or evening cuddles, I can usually make it work. I’m used to managing multiple responsibilities and keeping things organized, so you can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s routine. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I always treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I keep a close eye on their behavior, make sure they have fresh food and water, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away — and to give you total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up with both dogs and horses helped build a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and daily care. Today, I have two dogs of my own and spend a lot of time outdoors with them, especially hiking and staying active. Pet sitting for friends has also provided opportunities to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits every day except Saturday. I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, or times that best fit your pet’s routine. Whether your fur baby needs a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As an Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and attention to detail to every visit. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure pets are secure, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I can take care of feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and even watering plants or collecting mail. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. Even though visits take place in your home, I treat each environment with respect and make sure your pets feel relaxed and comfortable in their own space.

Kayla has been wonderful with my 2 dogs. It was a busy schedule of 2xs daily visits and groomer drop off. She was there every day playing with them or soothing them through the thunderstorm. She has fed them meticulously with the multitude of additions that they get daily. The pictures showed them being very happy everytime. I am so glad I found her on Rover!

About: I have had my best friend Rocco (Dachshund/Beagle) for the last 10 years, Eva (Dachshund) for the last 6, have grown up with dogs and I treat every one of them as my friend. They usually do the same. I have cared for friends' pets as a favor years and decided to make a side gig out of it since it comes so easy to me. Anyway, I can't wait to meet your friends 🐕. I currently watch my sweet baby girl and pups while my wife works. I work rideshare when she's home. This leaves me a lot of time to meet your needs! I live in an apartment complex in the city so I staunchly will always have my dogs out on a leash with me. Eva is a very difficult breed to train and battles anxiety so I've become a pro at helping her avoid confrontation. All will be well on the wagging tail trail! P.S. I know when I use Rover, I like when they send me pictures. Just let me know if you don't prefer.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with basic training, giving medications, and tailoring care to each dog’s needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. I work from home, so your dog will never be left unattended. I’m flexible with walks and play and can easily adjust to your pup’s routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, an afternoon stroll at the park, or extra playtime. I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime, plus two friendly dogs to provide company if your pup enjoys socializing. I’m experienced with crating if that’s what your dog prefers, and I’ll always follow your instructions to maintain consistency and peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they’re part of my family, making sure they feel loved and secure.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lavaca

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lavaca. 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 Lavaca 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 Lavaca. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
