“Justinh took a last minute request for house sitting and was communicative and professional the whole time. We’ll definitely hit her up the next time we go out of town!”

About: I am privately insured through Pet Sitter’s Associates! I’ve been dog sitting for years, starting with family and friends through recommendations from my mom, who still refers me to anyone looking for a sitter. I volunteer with the Human Animal Supporter Coalition, helping families in underserved communities care for their pets. Through my high school’s veterinary science program, I gained hands-on experience bathing dogs, clipping nails, and handling walks. I’ve also volunteered at vet clinics and was involved in FFA for four years. I currently attend community college and next fall I plan on transferring into a vet tech program to further my career with animals. I’m a part-time college student, so my schedule is very flexible! I currently do online classes so I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks or drop-ins throughout the week. Just reach out, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! I treat every pet like they’re my own and every home with care and respect. I stick to your routine, whether that’s walks, feedings, meds, or cuddle time, and I always make sure your pet feels safe and happy in their space. I’ll keep things tidy, double check doors and gates, and send you plenty of updates (yes, that includes cute pics). My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Whitney was great with my two dogs, Margarita and Mandy. She loved on them and made them feel comfortable while I was out of town. She sent me updates and pictures daily of how they were doing I would definitely recommend and use Whitney again when I need to be away from my babies!!!”
“Tabitha was amazing! I had to leave for a family emergency and she took the best care of my pets and house leaving me stress free! Continuous updates with pictures every morning afternoon and evening with updates throughout the day! Her communication is top tier!”
About: My genuine interest and love for my own babies coupled with their happy, carefree, and free-roam attitudes makes me a prime & the right candidate to be your pet's new friend. I have two furbabies that I absolutely love & adore. I understand the importance and severity of wanting them to go... unfortunately, they simply can't for whatever reason. So, you do the next best thing, you hire me. Give me the opportunity to extend my love, adoration and safe environment to your furbaby (canine or feline). If you hire me, worrying about your pet will be the least of your worries, as it should be. Help me to help you give your pet a vacation-like stay while you're away. You'll be glad you did. I'm retired so I'm home all day. I have lots of time to hang, lounge and play with your furbaby(ies) and I'll enjoy every minute In my home and client's home, the treatment is basically the same. Furbabies are given cuddles, hugs, and attention. They are fed, walked and allowed to run around and squabble in the back yard.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I love them endlessly. I would love the opportunity to shower your animals with the love and care they need while you are away. I work full time but I have a schedule abnormal to most. I have lots of free time during the day before 3 during most weekdays, and evenings on weekends. Message me if you see a time that is not available and we’ll see if we can work something out! :) I will give your animal lots of love and attention, and make sure that they are well taken care of when they are with me. I will treat them like my own pups.
“We would definitely recommend Kalie to watch your dogs! She was on time and did a great job communicating with us while we were away. She was committed to making sure that our dogs were comfortable and safe.”
About: Patience, compassion, home full time! Large back yard! Attention to detail. I know what it’s like to leave your lovable in the care of someone else! Your pet will miss you and will be very well taken care of! I am a retired RN- work from home full time. My animals get me all day and we would love to share our home, love and attention with yours. I have a large, fenced back yard. 1 friendly cat named Callie! Plenty of space to be comfortable, play and enjoy the family. A 9 year old and 11 year old boy and girl at home that LOVE pets!
“Billie was great! Fast responding and reliable. My Birdie loved spending the weekend with her. I can tell that she was good to my girl and gave her all the extra love and attention she needed.”
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who treats every animal like my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I provide regular updates, photos, and reliable communication for peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting on weekdays and weekends. I make pet care a priority in my routine so your pet gets consistent care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment and always supervise pets carefully. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care.
“Kayla was absolutely phenomenal!! Could not have asked for a better pet sitter. She was sooooo sweet with our boys and they absolutely LOVED her & her daughter (which is not typical). The house was absolutely spotless- way better than we left it. She cooked for the boys & kept me updated with photos and daily check ins. I will never not book Kayla when we are out of town. 🤍”
About: I've been pet sitting for about a year. I absolutely love animals. I'm flexible when it comes to pet sitting so I you have any questions or anything just reach out! Pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do over the past year I have a part-time job that only keeps me busy Friday, Saturday, and Sunday however I'm free just about any other time! If you need pet sitting services on the weekend for a few hours feel free to reach out. If it fits in my schedule id be more than happy to help. I have 2 years of college but that's not really relevant. When pet sitting in the past I kept my clients up to date on their animals with pictures and/or text.
“Nothing but good things to say! Andrea was super responsive, provided the best updates, and it was clear our pup loved her! Will definitely be reaching out in the future- highly recommend her!”
About: I love dogs! I enjoy being with them, as much as they enjoy being with their hooman counterparts. I do not have a pet for myself, yet. Meantime I want to give others a chance to travel without worrying about trying to find where there dog will go. I've dealt with pet care since a kid, we've always had a pet in our home. Any time I make a friend who has a dog or two, I'm always up for doggy sitting, since I know it can be hard to find someone reliable to watch after your pet or home. Last minute notices, if I'm around, I'd be more than welcome to watch your best bud for you. The military isn't a set in stone type of gig, but when you need someone just give me a ring.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little River
Alex was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dogs with him, and I never had a single worry while they were in his care. He took such great care of them and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were with someone who genuinely cared about them. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable dog sitter.
This is our second time booking with Alex and I have to say he will be our go-to until we leave Texas or he stops dog sitting. He treats both our home and babies as if they were his. He leaves things better then when he started and has easily adjusted to our chaotic needs over the last couple months. Cannot be more thankful for Alex and his assistance! 10/10 recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 River 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 River 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 River 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
