About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and my family brought home our first dog. Now, I’m a pet parent to an extremely fluffy and needy great pyr as well as an equally needy and chatty siamese cat. I am no stranger to a dog brush, vacuum, or giving medication to the most unwilling canine clients. I am a full time middle school band director, so this is something I am interested in making part of my free time and hobbies! I am extremely organized with time management, so I can fit most things into my schedule with appropriate notice. I have a fenced in yard, cat litter box, and impact dog crate (great pyr sized), so I can accommodate different needs! My pets live on the couch during the day watching the news, so yours can too!
“Bianca is the best pet sitter! Our babies were treated like royalty. She is experienced and professional in everything she does. She went far and beyond to care for our pets and kept us updated with pictures and videos along the way. Hope to work with her again in the future!”
About: My first set of experience is working at Petsmart. The first thing you learn when employed is pet safety. Understanding how to approach dogs, when they’re scared or when they’re happy. Since then, I have worked with many dogs just within my family. This includes 3 large dogs, 3 medium, and a cat that I helped care for as a kitten. I’ve also done a bit of dog training studying to understand dog communication even more. I’m always open to growing my experience. If I have something to learn, I will do so for the benefit of you and your pet. I’m currently doing Rover full time for the future. I still require 2-3 week notice ahead of time to make sure any current clients I have can fit into new schedules. 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: Hello! I was born, raised, and educated locally with my own German Shepherds, several cats and hens. I am reliable, caring and have a passion for our best friends. I promise to take care of your fur-baby as though they are my own and respect their boundaries I work from home and have a schedule I stick to so I am able to allocate time towards your pets as agreed upon prior to our booking. Please let me know of any changes or unique schedule requests you may have I live with my own pets. I am familiar with crating, backyard potty breaks, food schedules and walks as needed for your pet's comfort and exercise release. I ask that schedules are established prior to booking when I ask my prompts for pet parents: How many potty breaks per day and what times work best? How many feedings per day and how much per mealtime? Any additional exercise needed? What are favorite toys and interests?
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years, from total couch potatoes to high-energy working dogs. I’m comfortable with pretty much every part of pet care—from walks and feeding to cleaning up the less glamorous stuff, basic training, and plenty of cuddles. I’m dependable, pay attention to the little things, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most visits. Looking to work with you and your pets in the Wylie and surrounding areas! I treat all pets with the same respect and love that I do for my own. I know how important it is to have a trust worthy person entering your home and handling your pets. I treat my own as my children, and will do the same with yours. I have a soft spot for herding and working breeds!
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.
“Vivian did a great job with the needed drop-in visits for my two dogs! She kept in communication when she was arriving and sent lots of photos of the dogs during the visits. I can tell that she treated my dogs with so much love! They received lots of pets and she followed instructions about feeding perfectly. I’d recommend her for drop-in visits to anyone!”
“Emily checked in on and cared for our elderly cat while we were away for the holidays. She made friends with our cat quickly. She sat with him each day and gave him some attention. He is usually scared of other people but not Emily! We are very thankful to find a trustworthy, animal loving person to care for our buddy while we are away.”
About: I have cared for & have pets for many years & watched neighbors dogs as well as dogs I have had growing up. I love walking them, playing with them & getting to know all their different personalities 🥰 I work part time, so that leaves me plenty of time to care for your babies. My work is 12 minutes away from my home and equipped with video & audio surveillance to ensure top notch safety and monitoring of any pets staying with me. Additionally, two members of our household work from home so your babies will never be left completely alone for extended periods. I have a fully fenced in medium sized yard with plenty of running room. I have a large reinforced vehicle for car rides if parent allows car adventures to parks, pet stores, etc. My home is clean and organized for pets of all ages and sizes. Currently we have only one kitty residing in the home who will hide until he is ready to meet any new friends that visit.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life, so I’m fluent in zoomies, side-eye and belly rubs. I’m in college and looking for extra responsibility doing something I actually love. I’m dependable and attentive. I’m super active, so walks are always on the table. Your pet won’t just be checked on—they’ll be genuinely cared for, spoiled a little, and probably have a new best friend by the time you get home! I am very flexible throughout the week and available on weekends! I’m happy to stop in throughout the day, early mornings, or at night! Weekends my schedule is a lot more free, so I can spend more time with your furry family members! I am very capable of following any house rules, safety restrictions, or special routines your pet and home has. Happy to also water plants, move garage to curb, etc.
About: I have been doing Rover for 7+ years now and I love it! I am blessed to have many repeat clients who have become like family, along with their fur babies. I have a home with a nice sized yard in Wylie and I am ready to help you with your pet sitting needs. I have 30+ years of experience having pets so I am confident I can help. I do not have any pets currently. My dog passed away a few years ago and I can’t bring myself to replace him just yet so doing Rover makes perfect sense for me right now. I work from home, so I can give your dog the attention they need. I try to keep dogs from one family at a time so they are comfortable and so am II, so my clients love this. Of course, since I only watch one family pet at a time I do book up quickly so it’s a good idea to contact me as far in advance as possible. Thanks and I look forward to meeting & helping you - I work from my home so it is very easy to give your pet my full attention I can take them on walks if they like that too! I care for pets in my home only at this time as I am not doing visits to a clients homes at this time. Thanks!
About: I live in a house in fate with an enclosed backyard. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 children, 14 and 8 years old- they are both obsessed with animals- they definitely get that from me 😁 I love to take dogs out running around the block.My grandmother has a rescue shelter for animals of all kinds from horses to dogs and ive always helped her mantain the shelter since I was a small child. I had a husky before I moved to fate but he was so use to having a huge backyard to run around in that I felt bad bringing him here so he's actually 5 minutes away living with my dad at the same house I moved from so I still get to see him and cuddle him and he gets to stay comfortable
About: Hi! I'm Tiffany. I honestly love this gig… I get to watch sweet pups that bring extra fun, laughs, and heart-full moments! Pup therapy :) Brewster is my 7-year-old chihuahua mix and my 3-year-old Yorkie mix named Reese. They are both about 12lbs. Little Brew loves having another buddy or 2 to play with or new people to love on and it’s been an adjustment not having his brother to play and bond with. I live in a single story patio home with a nice side yard for dog running and potty, along with ample walking around the neighborhood. I also have a SMALL dog door that leads into the fenced in backyard but it’s small and only fits dogs under approx 30lbs or less. I do typically work outside if the home Monday-Friday, but I am able to provide dog sitting/boarding at my home and can be flexible at time with working at home if needed. The dogs are able to lounge and play throughout the house. Sleeping arrangements can vary depending on preference and how the dogs get along with each other :) I fully understand the need to find suitable care and right place for your 🐶 while we have to be away from them! I am here to help. I use Rover myself when I travel, so I try to see both sides and provide that in my service. I'm responsible, respectful, professional, good at communicating, and would love to help you out with your pet sitting needs. I go above and beyond to help your sweet 🐶 feel at home and comfortable while you are away. Brewster was a foster fail that I adopted a few years ago and he’s very go-with-the-flow and a grateful dog. He’s full of energy and loves to play and fetch! He and I love to take walks around the neighborhood and the local community dog park for play time. Reese is now potty trained and LOVES to play with his brother and be the life of the party. He does well with other dogs and is a very happy go lucky puppy. If I come to your home, I will make sure your furbaby is loved on, fed, walked and gets some fun interaction/play time each visit. If you are looking to have your pup do overnight stays with me at my home, I always try to arrange a meet & greet for new clients to make sure you and your dog are comfortable with the layout of the house, how they feel around me, and so you can observe how your dog and Brewster interact. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pup or furbaby! Thanks for considering me! :) I am a full-time working professional out of the home Mon-Fri so this is a side gig. I can have pups visit for the day or for a stay. I have a small dog door (dogs under 20lb-ish) that opens to a fully enclosed private backyard with what I have coined a “dog run”. The dogs have mostly free rein to the couches and dog beds and other rugs or furniture they find to their liking. Weekdays I am home between 6-7pm and don’t venture out much. My pup (and of course yours) will get all sorts of love and attention and play time in the mornings, evenings and overnight or when I’m working from home. I treat all pups like they are my own in how I give them love and attention. Trust, love, and safety for your pets is a MUST! I want them to feel comfortable while I watch them. I follow all instructions or rules the owners share with me and communicate any issues or questions in a timely fashion.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals. My family has two pets, and I’ve helped care for my friends’ and family’s pets whenever they travel or have busy schedules. I enjoy walking, feeding, playing with, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ll care for your pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm teacher para for elementary school at 7am to 3:10pm through Monday to Friday. Ill free after that. I'm college student online at ACC at Austin My family has two pets at home. I sometimes help take care of my friends' and family's pets when they're out of town, busy, away for a long time, or in other situations where they need help.
“Daimone did a great job with our cat! She was an excellent communicator and provided us with good feedback about her visit. We really appreciated her willingness to help with other items like getting the mail. Highly recommend!”
“Marissa is our go to cat sitter! Rover was intimidating with all the “dog people…” I wasn’t sure if we’d find someone happy to watch our cats! But, Marissa clearly cares for them. She takes the time not just to feed them and check on them but pet and play with them which gives me a lot of peace of mind when we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lavon
Samantha did such an amazing job taking care of our four cats while we were on vacation! I’d never used Rover before, but her glowing five-star reviews turned out to be completely spot-on. She stuck to our care instructions perfectly and even sent adorable pics every day—that was such a nice touch! When we got back, everything was secure and even better, nothing was out of place. We’ll definitely be booking her again for our next trip. Thanks so much, Samantha!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lavon is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 6,072 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lavon. 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 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 Lavon. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
