“I had to hire Peter at the last minute after my other sitter wasn't a good fit. All I can say is everything happens for a reason. Peter was so attentive and caring to my senior pup, it was night and day from my previous experiences. Peter checked in and followed all my care instructions and went above my expectations. I will definitely use his services again!”
About: Whether you have a rambunctious puppy whos curiosity gets the better of them, an adolescent who wishes to have the tennis ball thrown 100 times, an adult who just wants a couch companion, or a senior dog who needs help getting down the stairs for their daily walk, I'm your gal! I have experience administering medication, have given insulin shots, as well as have owned and managed deaf, blind and pregnant dogs. I have also helped welp a litter of GSDs. Although I have a HUGE soft spot for Bully breeds (PLEASE share your pitties, staffies, bulldogs, dobbies and rotties with me!) I have worked with and house sat for dogs of all size, age and breeds. All dogs deserve love, respect and companionship❤️ My entire life revolves around animals as thats my entire career. I work on a horse ranch and take care of a herd of 26 horses. I have worked in domestic pet and livestock feed and nutrition and have helped owners find the best dietary fit for their animals needs whether special needs or just wanting to fit their lifestyle. Pet welfare is my entire goal in life- with me your pet is more than just another name on a screen. They are a unique individual I cannot wait to meet and learn about inside and out- from their happy wagging tail to their wet, curious sniffer. My animals are my number 1! My own dog goes to daycare atleast 2x a week to get social time on days I know I may be gone long and my cats are provided a clean, fresh environment that they can get the zoomies and run around together. They always come before I do. Water bows are cleaned daily, each animal gets one on one time with me daily and they all get enrichment toys and treats. Just as I treat my own animals, I will treat yours because I understand just how important they are to you and want to give full peace of mind that your animals are left in good, reliable and trustworthy hands no matter the circumstances.
“Trevor was wonderful during a not so great time for my pup. Burt was in post op recovery and Trevor was able to take great care of him, provided daily updates, took him for his stroller rides and gave him his meds so he can rest up.”
About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home
“Everest (preferred name) was great Luna, who is recovering from a recent knee surgery. He kept me updated the entire and sent me LOTS of super cute pictures of their time together. He also made sure the house was really tidy and unmade the bed when he left, and even left a super sweet note and some cinnamon rolls.”
About: I have had a strong love for animals since I was a little girl. I got my first dog when I was two years old, I loved her to pieces until she turned 18 and I turned 20. Her name was Patty, before she passed away, I got her a furry friend; a puppy named Gus. When I found Gus, I immediately fell in love. I trained him everything I could learn to teach him online, then hired a professional trainer to help me get him to be a fully trained service dog. Gus was stolen June 28th of 2019, I miss him more than I’ve ever missed anyone or anything. He was my heart dog. I am mainly a stay at home dog mom, but when I am not pet sitting I help my dad with his restaurant. My roommate and I work opposing schedules so one of us is at home the majority of every day. We are both huge animal lovers and advocates. While I will primarily be watching and loving on any animals under our care, I compensate my roommate for any time they spend caring for your baby! I have a large fenced in yard and I have 6 dogs of my own. If your baby likes the “doggy daycare” feel he or she would be a great fit to visit my house!
“Riley was great. My Bentley is young and in the middle of potty training. Riley continued to work with him during his stay and took the necessary time and patience needed. This took a lot of late nights and early mornings. I cant say enough how happy we were with the time he put in with Bentley. He left the house in pristine condition and followed up with a call to summarize the week. Riley is awesome and we will continue to use him in the future when available.”
“Deby was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, so it took a bit to get used to at first, but it was so wonderful. My partner and I usually ask our friends to watch our two kitties, but no one was available. I saw that Debt had a ton of repeat clients and great reviews and I see why! She sent videos of them every time she came over and put my mind at ease even though I desperately missed my boys. Highly recommend booking her if you want someone who is wonderful with communication and loves all animals she watches!”
“Danya did an amazing job while I was away. I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital and was so worried about my cats being alone all night, as they've never gone all night without me. I was scrambling, trying to find someone in a hurry. Danya swooped in and saved the day! She interacted with them and kept them company all night, she sent me multiple pics and vids, and she was extremely flexible when things came up that I couldn't control from the hospital. I will definitely be booking her again! I'd give her double the stars if I could!! Do yourself a favor and book her IMMEDIATELY!!!”
“I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!”
About: I’ve been volunteering at an animal shelter for the past year. Working with the dogs there a lot. Also taken care of friends and families dogs before. I work Monday through Thursday. Mainly free on Fridays and Saturdays. That could change, some Saturdays I’m busy with personal stuff. I am free for the most part though. I have not cared for a pet in my own home. My apartment lease does not allow pets. Unfortunately will not be able to care for pets in my home.
“Loralyn is wonderful! Kept in touch and gave us updates on our girls. She was very considerate of our home and took great care of all of my little asks. We will definitely use Loralyn again!”
“We booked Shania to house sit for more than a week and take care of our two dogs and two cats. She was great, and our babies loved all the snuggles and attention she gave them! She provided regular updates and was easy to communicate with, which gave us peace of mind while traveling. One of our cats requires special feeding, and one of our dogs is geriatric, needs medication, and has a special food mix. Shania was well-versed in taking care of their needs and we will definitely be booking her again for our next trip!”
About: As much of a people person I am, I’d consider my self equally as much of a pet person! I love to engage with animals and learn about their personalities and engage with them in whatever environment keeps them happy and healthy! I work full-time, 4 days/week with 1 off day during the week. My evenings and weekends are pretty flexible and I’m willing to work with whatever accommodations that may be required of me. Due to the lack of roaming space in my apartment, I don’t usually host pets in my home plus I have my own pup to tend to! 😌
About: With a background in animal care gained from two years at an animal hospital in Highland Park, TX I'm well-prepared to offer top-notch care for your beloved furry friends on Rover. My tenure at the hospital included hands-on work with a diverse range of pets, from administering medications to providing regular exercise routines tailored to their needs. Additionally, I've boarded numerous clients' dogs, ensuring their comfort and well-being throughout their stay. Trust me to pamper your pooch, right in the comfort of their own neighborhood! *I am not a trained or certified vet tech, my experience is general care only. As a full-time work from home-r, I'm seeking extra income to support my future goals. Available Fridays through Sundays, I'm passionate about pet care, drawing from 13+ years as a cat owner and professional experience. I also have a very active 2 year old dog who I take out to the dog park and on adventures regularly! Let me provide top-notch care for your furry friends! In my own home and while caring for clients' pets, I prioritize cleanliness and organization, ensuring a tidy environment at all times. My cats receive ample love and attention, with their needs, including a clean litter box, promptly attended to. Regular cleaning schedules are maintained to uphold a pristine living space for both my pets and those under my care. Rest assured, the well-being of animals always takes precedence in house care routines.
“Tara was amazing! She sent daily updates at the end of the day (per our request) with pictures, walking route, and activities they did throughout the day. She spent lots of time loving on and playing with our dog, and she went above and beyond taking her to the park and through downtown during the day. She was a wonderful house guest, and we think our house may be cleaner now than when we left. We would love to have her keep our dog again no question!”
About: hiii! I was an animal shelter volunteer for a little over 7 years! I am very comfortable around all types of animals, poop etc. doesn’t bother me either! I think a person watching your animals shouldn’t just “watch” them but spend quality time with them! It can be scary for animals being left with an unfamiliar face so making the experience as enjoyable as possible ensures that they will be more comfortable next time! i also already go to the dog park every other day and sometimes every day! we absolutely love going (me and my dog sookie)!! I am a college student but thankfully all my classes are online! I don’t typically prefer weekends but if needed then I will be there! I am free 90% of the time! For the cats I have plenty of scratch posts and things they can play with. I also have cats of my own they love making friends! For dogs, I have a crate and large backyard with a lead post! they are allowed on couches and the bed if they want to go that route! Animals will show clear signs of discomfort and my responsibility is to listen and adhere to that

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lipscomb walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lipscomb maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Lipscomb 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lipscomb. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
