“Kailey was excellent! It’s so hard to leave senior dogs with extra needs…but Kailey was a godsend. She helped our dogs feel safe and cared for. I did not worry for one minute knowing she was dropping in. Thank you, Kailey! Now we can plan another trip peace of mind”
“Ashley went above and beyond for everything we requested when taking care of Dexter!! She was so sweet and made sure to come and meet Dex prior to her booking as well! Would definitely rebook and recommend to friends and family.”
“We chose Chloe due to her 5 Star rating and glowing reviews. She definitely outshined anyone or any place we've used before! She was/is a godsend for us and our cat when we left for a trip almost 2 weeks. She was happy and, we know, well fed. We know because we got twice daily photos and comments about everything- how she played, ate, behaved, tended the litter and so much more. For the first time she didn't lose weight but may have gained a bit. In the past, she'd be anxious and loud when we returned after much fewer days. BUT... this time she was purring and loving! Thank you, Chloe. You earned 10 Stars from us!!!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets by providing daily feeding, fresh water, and maintaining clean living spaces. I regularly walked dogs, ensured they received enough exercise, and monitored their behavior to notice any changes in health or mood. I also helped with basic grooming tasks such as brushing fur and bathing, which kept pets comfortable and healthy. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of how to meet the physical and emotional needs of animals. Pet care would fit well into my schedule because I can plan feeding, walks, and check-ins around my daily responsibilities. I’m able to manage my time effectively, making sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise while still keeping up with my other commitments. I make sure I give them a reasonable time to relax and make sure they are let outside and have access to anything they need. I would also give walks based on the animals needs.
“Miss Vicky is an excellent communicator with us and follows all of our guidelines very precisely! So appreciative of how well she looks after our kitty - she takes lots of pictures and gives a very detailed update for our peace of mind - added bonus is that they're good buddies now!”
“Breanna was awesome with our pet. This is the first time we have had a pet sitter over , Tia had a great time and absolutely loves Breanna . Breanna is extremely caring and loving. Highly recommend Breanna”
“Jazmin is 10/10! Absolutely incredible and professional across the board. She treats our pets as if they’re her own. She also goes an extra mile to keep us updated and sends up pictures of them! Highly recommend!!”
“Samantha and Sydney did another wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone. They go above and beyond every time. I honestly think our cats may prefer them to us! We will be using them again soon.”
About: Helllooo everybody, my name is Nathan and I would love to help you guys out in this Texas summer heat!! On top of me enjoying the sunlight, I have been watching/ raising my own 6 dogs for as long as we’ve had them, and I believe they helped me learn how to take care of, entertain and overall love all types of pets!!! I currently work part time at HEB, so I won’t be free 100% of the time, but I will be available for work at most point other than that unless stated otherwise !!😁 I will only do what I am allowed, to not overstep any of your or your pets boundaries. This to me shows respect and somewhat a form of loyalty for you trusting me with your home and animals !!
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the past 17 years since I got my own dog. I have help neighbors and families out while they go out of town. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies before. I prefer to watch your animals at your house as one of my dogs does not get a long with other dogs. I have a remote full time job Monday through Friday. I am more flexible on the weekends and will be able to do visits during the week if known ahead of time. I’m a big animal lover. I have the up most respect for other people’s property so I will do my best to make sure the house stays clean and the dogs are taken care of.
About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have lifelong experience caring for animals and a deep love for dogs. I currently have a 5-year-old Goldendoodle who I care for daily, including walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. He has helped me learn patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s individual needs. I’ve also cared for a guinea pig and have been around dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I’m attentive, calm, and focused on making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full time from 7–4, so I’m available in the evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also have full availability on weekends, which allows me to provide extended care, boarding, and extra attention when needed. I’m committed to making sure pets are cared for consistently and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and caring environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, routines, and any special needs. I also have my own friendly dog, which can provide companionship if appropriate, helping visiting pets feel more comfortable and at ease. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment so pets feel secure and well cared for at all times.
About: I'm a life-long pet owner and animal lover. I am a responsible, caring, thoughtful adult who understands the necessity of providing care to pets at the times requested and with the services as discussed. I am great at learning and adapting to the preferences of your household and pet(s) and look forward to exceeding your service expectations! I'm a fully remote employee with a flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and I don't have children, so I have infinite flexibility without having to worry about school or activity schedules. I will treat your home with the utmost care and respect, as I do my own. I pride myself on leaving spaces better than I found them when I can. I am highly sensitive to safety and security of home environments including fences, door locks, and windows. I love to be active with pets when they want my love and attention, I'm equally happy to sit calmly and read a book if they just need a loving presence.
“Destani was very responsive to messages and always made sure to respond very quickly. She did a great job watching our cat while we were away and made sure to send pictures and give updates with every visit. I was thankful to have her as a pet sitter, she even made sure to keep up with the scheduled visits despite a tropical storm happening! I will definitely book her in the future when needed.”
“She’s absolutely wonderful and always takes such great care of Luna. This was a last-minute request, and she was more than happy to help, which I truly appreciated. She’s reliable, and makes me feel completely at ease leaving my pup with her.”
About: College student athlete who grew up my whole life with dogs and would take care of family and family’s friends dogs when out of town. I am willing to walk, feed, and let out the dogs whenever I am home from college and work at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog when I am not working I can feed and come see the dog whenever you are wanting me to. I also would love to walk to the dog or take them to dog parks if needed
“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!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Little Elm stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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.

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 sitter.
