“Did amazing with our 2 German Shepherds for 5 days. Made sure our rescue got extra love, attention, and coaxing to eat when he struggles while we’re gone. High energy just like the dogs and will make sure they are ran and played out. Would love to have her watch them again!!!!”
“She took very good care of my Pugs. Megan is always available to walk them and takes them on a good long walk. She makes sure they do not get over heated. I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies. 5 Stars..”
About: Raised an australian shepard pup and kept her occupied and also have dog sat, walked and had sleep overs with from huskies to shelter pups. Never met a dog I didn't like. I have a very open schedule for frequent walk and stop ins. Setting pups up for the night and making sure they are tired from every walk. I always ask what their typical routine is to mimic it in the dogs safe space and am focused on replicating it as well as I can.
About: I’m a mom and a nurse. I have one dog who is about 10 years old. I’ve helped pet sit for my family for several years. I’ve taken care of a golden doodle service dog, hairless cat, and a few small chihuahuas. I am free for boarding every other weekend. Possibly some week nights as well. Looking to help out and do something a little different outside of my day job. I have one dog and one child in my home. My apartment building has a nice dog park and lots of grass for walking. I also enjoy going to dog parks in town.
About: Over 12 yrs of animal loving and caring! I'm a Veteran and semi retired Social Worker! In Belton over 12yrs. Trails and hikes available During the daylight and weather permitted walking will be done. I'm free most weekdays during work hrs and some weekends. Vacation schedules can be discussed. Fenced 1/2 acre with free range in yard with toys and shoes lol. We do something everyday especially if the weather is beautiful. Our fur babies are family
About: Over the last seven years, I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether your puppy needs consistent routine reinforcement or your senior dog requires gentle walks, your pet's safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I guarantee they will be fully loved and protected, adapting my care completely to match your dog's unique needs. I structure my entire week around pet care to ensure your dog gets constant attention. Because my routine is highly adaptable, I am readily available for midday walks, routine feeding visits, or extended weekend stays. Your pet will receive consistent, dedicated care right on their normal schedule without any disruptions. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and caution. My priority is preventing accidents by double-checking gates, removing household hazards, and supervising outdoor time. You can count on receiving timely photo updates so you always know your furry family member is happy, relaxed, and completely secure
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats from a very young age from puppies to kittens to seniors . I do love taking walks or just playing with them for their daily needs ! I do work on week days In Austin but get home around 6pm and can do walks after. One weekends I am completely open and flexible for ur needs. I am willing to accommodate for you weather that be staying over to watch ur dog or cat in your own home , or simply going over to give potty breaks a and food . I do love to walk dogs or take them out to play !
About: When dog sitting, I make sure to come in get them food make sure they have freshwater and they get plenty of time outside to stretch legs and potty. If needed I can also administer medication and if they need extra loving, I also have time to spend with them on weekends! I currently work Monday through Friday so during the week I can visit twice a day ( Mornings & evenings) and on weekends, I can visit as many times as preferred or necessary for your pups! When going into clients home biggest thing is making sure that they are locked up when I leave and the animals are well taken care of before heading out! For my current clients, I do frequent drop ins as necessary per animal and family! Making sure they trust me with their home & animals is the biggest priority!
“Jasmine was great checking in with our golden doodle and our kitty! After a long afternoon inside, I know our girl appreciated a break to run around the yard and play. Jasmine let me know before she stopped in, sent pictures of our dog running and having fun in the yard, and offered to clean up the muddy paw prints on our floor afterwards :) We appreciate her being so accommodating last minute and for making sure our babies were taken care of! Would 100% have her back to check on them again.”
“Krysta took good care of my 2 cats for a full week and even took care of watering my plants for me! She sent updates on any changes that might have occurred between visits; I always knew that my animals were safe and well taken care of. So glad she was here to take care of them while I was away.”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.
About: Whitney Amanda but I go by Mandy!I am new to rover and looking to grow experience. My services are walks ( or even runs as I enjoy running!) and drop in visits. Since I work at the hospital during the day, I would drop in early in the morning, lunch break and/or evening visits. I’ve had pets of my own + I use to work in a pet care and spa for a bit. I would love too help you get great care for your fur babies!! I am currently full time at a hospital but looking to help with evening or overnight care. However, feel free to reach out as I do have off days here and there. Communication is the best form of care. You let me know what your pet needs and I am there! I am happy to provide a caring and nurturing environment for your pet.
“We recently relocated and we were a little worried about finding the right person to continue to drop in for Annie. We just started using Kristen and so far has been a great fit for us. She is reliable and cares about her customers, a great fit for us, so happy we found Kristen.”
About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 11 years old. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years while they go out of town. Currently, I have 3 Australian Shepherds, all of which I have raised since they were puppies, and 2 cats, so I know what I am getting into! I am a recent college graduate in between phases of my life, so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I will always put the safety and care of your pets first. If there are any special needs or accommodations that your pets require, I am happy to work with you to ensure that you and your pets will be happy!

Ondrea is awesome. She really is an animal person and took superb care of our 2 large dogs - she is caring and affectionate and played with them too. She is a great communicator you will get updates and feedback on each visit. She is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable. Our dogs are happy, healthy, safe and comfortable with her. Our shy guy was in her lap snuggling with her by day 2.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Little River is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 822 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Little River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
