About: hi, i'm ashli! i grew up with 3 dogs and now that i'm on my own, i'm open to taking care of your dogs and giving them the care & love that they deserve! i believe that animals are not here for us to abuse or exploit, which is why i care so deeply about animals and their wellbeing. i will do my best to make sure your pup is as comfortable as they can be :) i recently separated from my full-time job so i'm currently unemployed and looking for jobs - my schedule will likely be the most free it has been which will help me give more attention into caring for your pups! i currently don't have a permanent place to stay so that's why my current services would be for me to watch your pups in your house. my goal will be to provide your pup with as much care, love, and attention that they need in their own homes while their owners are away - further creating a safe space for them to relax and feel "at home"
“Heather was a great pet sitter! The daily check-ins and photos showed us that our pet was being well cared for, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely use her again if she is available for our future travels.”
“Brittany was awesome on communication and make sure everything was ok. During the frieze time. We were very thankful for all the attention she gave to Leo and the house. Thank you ? +”
“Kenya was very sweet with our dogs and they took to her right away. She was willing to drive out to our place to help. When we had a miscommunication, she was very responsive and took great care of the dogs. Thank you!”
About: I have worked at Petsmart before. At Petsmart we are required to know what makes a dog comfortable while at a public place or somewhere other than home. I have watched over puppies 2 and 3 months old for my in laws a couple times now. My parents got a kitten that I helped take care of till I moved out about 10 months later. I own a chinchilla which is an exotic small animal. I’ve had her for a year. I’ve been fascinated by pets since I was a child and always do my research before taking care of an animal. I look forward to being of assistance. I fluctuate between part time and full time. I’m usually free tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. I can schedule the time off if it’s 3 or 4 weeks in advance. I usually work mornings except for mondays, when I work evenings. I can always visit the pup or kitty during break and then spend the rest of the day with them after work. This will most likely be temporary until I can get a solid schedule here or at Home Depot. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. My building is only a few steps away from a dog park inside of the complex. The clubhouse has dog treats and I can provide as well based on age and diet. I will always ask any questions about what you would prefer for your fur baby. I have a chinchilla that stays in a cage as long as your pet is around. She is curious and will not hurt your pet even if they stick a paw in between the bars, which is hard to do anyways. My living room is a large space for any pet. I’m currently working part time, but I’m willing to do weekly stays with 2-3 weeks in advance notice. I also will require meet ups before every service in a public place. This is not going to be required for existing clients. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.
About: Hey there! I have a good while of experience and honestly prefer dogs over people. Your pup gets my full attention and a massive, safely fenced one-acre front and backyard to run free. I promise 100% dog-focused love, safety, and nonstop fun! I am currently working part-time as medical assistant and am willing to adjust my schedule to care for you pup! My weekly work hours are from 8am-5pm on depending days! I have a fenced front & backyard (very spacious) I do have a friendly Great Pyrenees in the back yard that is fenced in, loves to have doggy friends around!
About: My husband and I have cared for and kept dogs our whole lives. I’m hoping to care for more through drop-in checks and dog walking. My dogs love to get out and walk/run. I have a natural behavior with new animals I meet. Really helps with dropping in to take your pup out while keeping them calm. My schedule is wide open on weekdays currently. I can also do weekends with notice before hand. I’ve been in a pinch before with my dogs and can adjust to keep you in the clear with yours. Our dogs are family. Enough said. They are cared for beyond measure. They’re privileges are greater than our human guests. The 2 dogs are provided with a safe dog friendly environment for a stress free day for us and them.
About: I have taken care of multiple types of dogs including beagles, Chiweenie, mini pin, golden retrievers and more. I love all types of dogs and they love me. I currently work full time from home so I will easily be able to walk your dog. I like to take walks on the Katy trail if that’s what you live near. I will walk your dog either with a harness or a leader. I have trained multiple dogs to be able to walk without pulling. I would like to meet your pet once before our walk so we can get to know each other. I will ensure your pet stays hydrated on our walks.
About: I've had dogs all my life and cats for a few years (my mother-in-law lived with us 30 years). I don't consider them pets--they are family. Presently, we have 4 dogs and a 55 gallon aquarium. We live in the Shores and I'd like to stay close (Rockwall/Heath). I'm retired, so this is a fun way to spend some time. Having used pet sitters myself, I understand the importance of having someone, you can trust, enter your home and ensure your pets are fed, water, and given ample rest breaks. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to pet sitting. When I commit to a job, my focus is on that job and to provide topnotch care for your baby. I will meet with you to get information on how you care for your pet(s). My goal is to treat them just how you do to minimize disruption for them, while providing you peace of mind. I know how it is to trust someone else with your best friends, so my goal is to allow you to be away, without worry. You can live life knowing that you will come home to your fur baby just as you left them.
About: I have a cat that I absolutely love! I treat all animals with kindness and respect and take great care of them. Growing up I had a dog for 16 years. As a former SPED teacher, I treat other people’s kids and pets with kindness and respect! I am a mom of two children, and also a fur baby! Being a teacher I have summers off so I mostly available in the summer. I am also available to help working professionals during weekday evenings and weekends. I have a yard enclosed with a fence so I’m happy to take care of your pet in my home. I have a home in Wylie Texas with a fenced yard for your pet!

About: I've taken care of cats for the past twelve years. Currently have a Persian cat named Bagel who is the definition of a scaredy cat. He usually keeps to himself. I am experienced with cats with kidney disease and can provide subcutaneous fluid. I work from home- so boarding situations I'll usually be around for feeding and for socializing with cats. I am available after 4:30 for drop in visits. I am very trust worthy and understand that every animal has their own needs and level of attention. I will be cautious to the instruction given and be patient when appropriate.
“Had a great first visit with Stacey! My pups get very few visitors and were overly excited and she handled them so kindly and they absolutely loved her! Looking forward to having her care for my pups in the future.”
“I could not be more pleased with the care that Jostyn showed my dog, Chloe! Jostyn provided me with daily updates and pictures, which kept me abreast of everything at home while I was on my trip. Josytn went above the call of duty! I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter and will definitely be booking Jostyn again for my next trip. Thanks, Jostyn!!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lavon
Karissa and her helper were absolutely amazing! They were so loving and attentive with all of my animals, and talking with them honestly felt like talking with friends. I reached out pretty last minute, and Karissa never once made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. She was incredibly accommodating and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was genuinely excited to finally find someone I feel like I can trust with both my home and my animals. Karissa is amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy. I will absolutely be using her again!

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.
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 Lavon 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.

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 .
