“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Pumpkin! She walked Pumpkin and made sure he was fed while I was away, giving me total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about pets, and I appreciated her reliability and communication. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’m a pet portrait artist and proud dog mom to two German Shepherds. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. As a pet sitter, I’ll send you photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. I also love sketching the pets I meet, so if you choose me, I may create a little sketch of your pet as a fun extra! 🎨🐾 If you’re comfortable with it, I’d also love to share their photos or sketches on my art Instagram. Of course, I’ll always ask for your permission first. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. ❤️ I have a consistent routine and can provide dog walks and drop-in visits during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care based on their routine. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, and any special needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and that pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. For walks, I always use the owner’s preferred leash and equipment and pay close attention to my surroundings. I’m also a dog owner myself with two German Shepherds, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home.
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for a wide variety of animals—from small and large dogs to pigs, horses, and chickens. I have experience with it all! As a first responder wife, I have a lot of free time on my hands & love spending it with animals!! I am a stay-at-home mom of three with completely open and flexible availability. I can provide early morning potty breaks, daytime walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I will make sure your dog is always kept on a leash or harness for their safety. I will put them back in their crate if requested!
About: Back in 2023 I got my first job at 16 years old at Pet Suites as a “pet pro” which is a doggy daycare (and cats too) where you can drop your dogs off for the day while you’re at work or board them there while you’re on vacation. I also have done dog sitting outside of that job too, where I would go and take care of families dogs while they were on vacation and stay with the pets at their houses. I also was an active member of the FFA all throughout my high school years where I would raise pigs and show them at different shows. I just completed school and I’m about to go into subbing part-time at a middle school so my schedule is pretty open at the moment! I usually have a good consultation with the pet owners before dog sitting for them where I find out what they’re feeding schedule looks like and other information that would be necessary for me to know and on top of that I usually have them leave me with a list either virtually over the phone or physically on a piece of paper with all the information that I would need.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my unique combination of experience and responsibility. I have previously dog sat for my friends and family, and I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. This taught me how to care for a dog’s daily needs, maintain a consistent routine, and provide companionship. In addition, my experience as a babysitter has given me valuable skills that translate directly into dog sitting. Babysitting requires patience, attentiveness, and the ability to keep an environment safe and comfortable qualities that are just as important when caring for dogs. My background shows I am dependable, caring, and able to handle the responsibility of looking after pets with the same dedication I give to children. I am currently working part time at Urban air in Rockwall, so I am available any day as long as you book at least a week in advance! I have three amazing dogs of my own. Caring for them every day has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pups feel happy and safe. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring, capable hands with me!
About: Our family loves all dogs! We truly care for your animals as if they were our own. I have experience taking care of and training a high energy puppy. I work from home so our family is always home to take care of your animal and give them the attention they need and deserve. I have a high fenced yard. Our dog, Indie, plus kids love playing with all dogs. Our kids love cuddling and treating your dog like their own.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little tot. From cats to dogs, I do it all. When leaving your pet with me I will make sure to take top tier care of your baby. As I know how nerve racking it can be to leave them when you’re away. I will send updates daily to give you a peace of mind that they are in good spirits. Look forward to meeting your fur baby. <3 My day to day schedule is very flexible so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). Whether you need someone full or part time. When caring for pets in your home I love written instructions, but can easily adapt if there are none. If wet outside I will let them out to go to the bathroom then dry their fur before letting them enter the home.
“Ruth did an incredible job taking care of my dog Ember while I was away for the weekend. Punctual, attentive and very kind with animals. I got photos and updates from every walk. My dog warmed right up to her. Followed instructions beautifully and I will always recommend her! Thanks again Ruth!”
About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 2 cats, and a bearded dragon. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard and take precautions based on each pet’s individual needs, behavior, routine, and current weather conditions. On walks, I use safe handling practices and avoid unnecessary interactions with unfamiliar animals. In the home, pets that do not get along are safely kept separate, and I follow owner-established routines to help minimize stress and anxiety. I believe good pet care also requires good communication, so I keep communication with owners open, respectful, and consistent. At this time, I offer limited short-term daytime boarding when circumstances require it, such as emergencies or helping with a pet’s pickup and care following a veterinary procedure.
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! I am also able to come to your home and take care of your fur babies. I can keep water and food clean and take care of your pets. Bathroom needs.
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.

Alex was amazing with my dog! She was punctual, communicative, and clearly very caring and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She followed all instructions and made sure Pretzel got plenty of exercise and attention during his walk. He came back happy and tired, which is always a great sign! I also appreciated the updates and photos—it really made a difference. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lavon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lavon.

Every walker 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.

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
