About: I've walked dog for over 10 years before moving to Texas to help my family. I did training, pack walks, overnight stays, beach/hike trips and specialized in dogs that need a bit more love and guidance. Right now I am working part-time during the week so overnight/weekends sits are best for me but I have some flexibility during the week to sit or walk with some notice. I am open to caring for pets in client's homes however they feel will best benefit their animals. I prefer sits to boarding since I have 2 dogs at home and the dogs would have to be tested with mine before boarding.
“Daniel was amazing! We have one very hyper rescue and a brand new rescue and we were worried about leaving them alone for the first time together. Daniel was just what we needed and took such good care of them. He came several times a during the day and spent a lot of time with them when he came...and during the holidays too! I would highly recommend Daniel to take care of your furbabies. We will definitely be booking him again for next time!”
“Tanna took excellent care of my 2 cats. They warmed right up to here and enjoyed the playtime and head rubs while she was there. Tanna followed my instructions and made me feel more than comfortable with her. I will always book with Tanna moving forward.”

“Kayleigh is an absolute rockstar - incredibly attentive and communicative, she was proactive with both updates and feedback (including photos) that made a world of difference for an anxious pet parent! She was also generously flexible and patient showing me the Rover ropes, as well as with her time for key handoff and return on top of my high maintenance darling and her routine. Chloe and I both look forward to having her on repeat and couldn’t be more grateful!”

About: My love for dogs started when I was just 11 years old, caring for my family’s little Peki-Pom. Since then, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. For the past 4.5 years, I’ve been a proud Great Pyrenees owner, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and understanding the unique needs of larger breeds. From small companions to gentle giants, I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs and treating them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own! I currently work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time at home!

On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I work in the office from 8 AM to 5 PM. I always strive to provide a comfortable, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in Downtown Lewisville in a cozy, welcoming home where your furry friend will be treated like family. Although I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I make sure dogs receive frequent potty breaks, outdoor walks, and plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs, enjoy fresh air, and explore their surroundings. I also have a resident Great Pyrenees who is a true gentle giant! She has a sweet, loving personality and absolutely loves being around other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for visiting pups. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and unique needs, so I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is in caring hands!

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.

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 Little Elm 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. 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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
