“We’ve used Elizabeth’s services multiple times for drop in visits for my Golden Retriever and recently she also house sat him for a week. Elizabeth is awesome - always punctual, easy to communicate with, very organized, kept us updated about Milo and we even came back to very clean house. I trust her completely with my pet.”
“Brianna was amazing! She took excellent care of both of my large breed dogs and my home while I was away for a work trip. She sent regular photo and video updates and the house tidy and well kept upon my return. My pups were receiving more play and attention than when I’m home! I highly recommend Brianna for any of your house and pet sitting needs.”
“Lexis was a fantastic sitter, staying in our home to take care of our dogs and cat. She sent so many pictures, and they all looked so happy to have her there. Highly recommend Lexis, and will definitely be using her again to watch my babies in the future!”
“Dasia was great with our pups ! She was extremely organized and never missed a beat. We loved all the updates she gave us while we were away. It left us reassured that our babies and house were in great hands. Will definitely book with her again :)”
“Raymond took incredibly good care of our dogs and house! He kept us well informed during our time away and sent pictures of our dogs to let us know they were doing okay! Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Our dogs felt so comfortable with Nikki right away! She has a calming presence and took wonderful care of our two dogs. Nikki communicated very well and was proactive. She went above and beyond my expectations! Our dogs had a great week with her :)”
About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life — not as a job I picked up recently, but as something I've always done. I currently share my home with my own dachshund, so I understand firsthand what it takes to care for small and medium breeds: the extra patience, the gentler handling, and the little quirks that make each dog different. Over the years I've also lived with and cared for larger breeds such as Pit Bulls and Boxers as well as cats, so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households too. Because I have a Dachshund myself, (His name is Sheldon Cooper) I’m especially mindful of things a lot of sitters overlook — like being careful with jumping on and off furniture, watching for signs of back strain, and giving short-legged dogs the extra support they sometimes need. I also have real success with puppies specifically: house training, crate training, and early socialization aren't just things I've read about — I've done them, and I'm comfortable with the energy (and occasional chaos) that comes with a young dog. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. so whether you need a quick midday check-in or a full day of companionship while you're away, I can flex to what your pet actually needs. When I care for your pet, I treat them exactly how I'd want mine treated: with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. You'll get real updates, careful attention to routines, and a sitter who enjoys the time spent with your animal — not just someone checking a box. At the end of the day, your pet won't just be "watched" — they'll be loved like one of my own. I look forward to giving your pet the same warmth, attention, and love I'd want for my Sheldon. I'm available full-time, all 7 days of the week, for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether you need regular ongoing care, a last-minute booking, or something on a weekend or holiday, I'm flexible and ready to work around your schedule — your pet's routine won't have to change just because you're away. When I'm caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want for my own — I follow your pet's normal routine exactly as you leave it, from feeding times to walks to any specific instructions you give me. Doors and gates stay locked or secured at all times, I don't allow off-leash time unless you've told me it's safe to, and I keep a close eye out for anything that seems off with your pet's health or behavior. You'll get regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going, and I treat your home itself with care — nothing is touched or used beyond what's needed for your pet's visit.
“Natalie did a great job taking care of our Nora in our home! Our normal dog sitter/ house sitter was busy so we had to try someone new and we made a great choice. I’m always hesitant letting new people into our home but Natalie left our home in the same condition before we left. She went above and beyond taking the garbage out, taking sheets off the bed and starting the dishwasher. She was very communicative of Nora’s needs and how she was doing while we were gone. Natalie communicated her schedule changes as it related to when Nora would be home alone. We would recommend Natalie to other rover users and will use her again!”

“5 stars does not do Lisa any justice. She is truly the best sitter we have ever had. She has helped us last min and we can’t thank her enough! Our fur babies just love her!! Lisa is any amazing person! We highly recommend!!!”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. I was a nanny and executive personal assistant for over 25 years to a family and their pets. Then started my dog care business once the child went to collage. I've had my own private dog business, professional, and private Hollywood celebrities clients. I currently just moved back to the Dallas area and looking to fill my days loving and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have a questionnaire to be filled out to know about your routine. I like to stick to what works for you and your family not to disrupt the dogs schedule.
“Katie is a gem! She took such wonderful care of my baby! Katie was a great communicator and went above and beyond what was asked of her! I feel really fortunate to have found Katie! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for loving care of their fur baby ♥️”
About: I have over 5 years of experience and I have found that I absolutely love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! My hands-on experience ranges from tiny, spunky Miniature Pinschers all the way up to high-energy Belgian Malinois. I know every dog is unique, so I tailor my care to match your pup's exact energy and daily routine! Specialized Care I have specific experience with puppies, senior, and high energy pups if you need any form of specialized care! -Puppies: Practicing basic training, enforcing commands, and keeping routines consistent. -Seniors: Gentle, attentive care, mobility support, and oral medication administration. -High Energy Breeds: Structured exercise, play, and mental enrichment to keep working breeds happy (and tired haha). I’d love to chat about your pups specific routine and answer any questions you may have! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work less than 5 hours a day Monday through Wednesday, which allows me to be home with pets or check on them frequently throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I am available all days of the week for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I am experienced with crate-trained dogs and can use crates when needed. I also have experience administering medications and following special care instructions. I have friendly, well-socialized dogs that enjoy playing with others, but I can easily keep pets separated if an owner prefers. I treat every pet like my own and work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care.
“Ajah was so kind and sweet! She understood everything she needed to do! We have 2 very active dogs and a cat. She played with them many times a day and she also kept all my potted plants watered! She is awesome and i highly recommend her!!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m so excited to get started and meet lots of new furry friends! I’ve puppy-sat on multiple occasions and have also cared for cats, so I’m happy to help with either—or both if you have a multi-pet household! I’m especially a puppy lover and enjoy all the cuddles, playtime, and goofy personalities that come with them. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have three dogs back home that I absolutely adore and love getting to see, cuddle, and spoil rotten whenever I can. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I want every pet I care for to feel loved, comfortable, and spoiled while their family is away! I work full-time as a teacher, so my weekdays are busy during school hours, but I’m available before and after school and in the evenings. My weekends can sometimes be busy, but for the most part, I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time caring for your fur babies! I’d love to fill that time by giving your pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I truly believe pets are part of the family, so I treat every pet I care for like they are my own! I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and favorite things so they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to follow their normal schedule, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, attention, and love. I also know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else, so I love sending pictures and updates throughout the day. My goal is for your pet to have a fun, safe, and happy time while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being spoiled!
About: As I grew up, my first pet was more than just a pet for me. He has been there throughout my childhood and losing him made me a whole different person. That is until my husband gifted me my shih tzu. He has been my dream for over 15 years and I treat him as my first born and nothing less. I made my husband buy a Tesla just so that our dog can travel with us and stay in car in comfort. What else must I say to express my love and gratitude towards a mans best friend. My daily routine is pet care itself. I wake up at 6 in the morning to take my dog out for his walk. Then I give him his breakfast after which I start my duties as a housewife. Throughout the day, I take my dog out for walk three more times depending on the climate, and since he is a shih tzu and a picky eater, I have to feed him like a baby. I brush him every day to ensure that he looks his best. In my home, for any pet that my friends, neighbors or colleagues as ne to take care of, I ensure that the pet is not hungry, not thirsty, not bored and if possible not to think of the parents. This way, the pet always feels happy to come back to me.,
“Francesca did great. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated promptly with us when we checked in and we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when needed.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little Elm
First time using Rover and I was extremely hesitant but Frank made it such a seamless experience. Frank was punctual, responsible and thinks quick on his feet. I’d highly recommend Frank to anyone who needs a trusted sitter that can ensure you have a peace of mind. 5/5 ⭐️!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Our home was exactly as we left it, and our dogs were so happy and relaxed when we returned that it was clear they had been in great hands. Tori kept us updated with lots of pictures and was wonderful to communicate with. We’d happily have her back!
Samantha and Sydney were absolutely wonderful! They kept in constant communication with us and sent regular updates throughout the day about how our pets were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn't be happier with the care they provided, and we would absolutely trust them to look after our furry babies again. Highly recommended!
I was originally nervous about leaving my babies for a week, as it was one of the longest times I’ve been away from them. Isabell made sure they had everything they needed, provided updates along the way, and gave them love and attention while I was gone. I came home to a clean house and happy animals, which is always the most important thing! I appreciate her help and the care she provided while I was away!
Loved loved loved Taytum! She’s very sweet and attentive to the dogs. She was extremely communicative, always sending pictures, videos, and other text updates. She was never difficult to reach and was always clear about what she’s doing and how the day went. She even ran back during her lunch breaks to walk the dogs - which is something so appreciated by us! I could tell how much the dogs loved her and loved having her there. We were gone for several days out of country and she made us comfortable from day one. Booking her from start to end was a breeze. We can’t wait to book again as she’s one of the best sitters we’ve had! Definitely don’t think twice about booking 💛
Erin was so great taking care of our cat, dog and home while we were gone on an almost week trip away to another country. I trusted her fully and she was very great at sending updates on how everything was going. Really kept my mind at ease! When we came back, the house was in perfect shape and the animals were happy and stress free. Definitely will use Erin again!
Stephanie watched both my dogs over a holiday. She has house/dog sat for me before. One of my dogs has a seizure disorder so I’m picky about who watches them. Both dogs loved Stephanie and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her.
Cristel is amazing! She stayed with our pups at our house while we were gone and sent us photos each day. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we got home so we know they got plenty of exercise and enjoyed spending time with Cristel. We will happily book Cristel again for future trips!

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 Little Elm 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 Little Elm 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
