“Genniver was amazing! All three of my dogs loved her very much. My German Shepherd who is usually skeptical of strangers warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive and Informative and gave me great updates and pictures and videos of my pups while I was away on vacation which kept me with no worries. She gave them excellent care! I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Briannah Fritzinger, I am 21 and I'm a full-time at-home pet sitter here in Selma, Texas. I am currently pursuing pet sitting full-time, so your pets will have a calm, present, and attentive caregiver with them throughout the day. I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals like hamsters, fish, and lizards . I'm comfortable with handling puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need medication or extra patience. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks, with potty breaks every 2-4 hours and lots of photo updates. I am available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, from 8am to 5pm for scheduled care, with extended availability for boarding and emergencies. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 4 cats of my own, so my day is built around feeding, cleaning, and playtime. I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins, walks, and overnights during the week and on weekends. In your home, I keep your pet's routine exactly the same — feeding times, walks for dogs, habitat temps and humidity checks, as well as safe handling for all. As well as litter box cleanings.I do a meet-and-greet first to learn their setup, emergency contacts, and vet info, and I always keep doors, gates, and enclosures secured. In my home, I only board cats. I have a clean, cat-friendly space with 4 of my own cats. Boards would be separate from my cats and have their own clean space and environment to be in!
About: Hello! I’m a dependable, compassionate pet lover who works from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and right at home. I have a large, securely fenced backyard that’s perfect for supervised playtime and exercise. I also have experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special care instructions. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know their needs and make sure they feel happy and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full time from home, so I provide full-time supervision and attention to pets in my care. I am happy to accommodate any routine your pet may need, including walks, outdoor time, and feeding/sleep schedule. I have a big, fenced yard and two dogs of my own to keep your fur child company during their stay. I am also able to crate your dog or keep them separated if needed with doggy gates. Safety is my top priority!
About: Animals sense I'm a big momma, and trust me, I have my own 3 beautiful dogs and want to help others who may not have the extra time to be a friend in need. I am a full time at home mom of teenagers and like to volunteer to help my community. I also homeschool so I'm flexible to change schedules. I prefer letting pets be a guide, my experience is most like their home and routine so I let the pet take it's time on their turf to trust and feel safe.
“I couldn't ask for a better experience with Tim. He was attentive, responsive, and carried out my (borderline unreasonable) instructions to the letter. My two cats took to him right away. (They trust nearly nobody; I was amazed by their immediate comfort with a new person.) Tim provided me with daily updates and I had no worries about their care while I was away. In short, Tim and Rover made me able to enjoy my vacation. Tim is my go-to for future sitting, full stop.”
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”
“Hannah always makes us feel so comfortable while away. She provides us the most thorough updates on our sweet boy and we know he’s always in good hands with her. Thank you Hannah!”
About: I have taken care of puppies since I was a little girl. My parents raised Dachshunds so there were always puppies. I have had dogs myself since then, sometimes having two or three at a time. Neighbors, family and friends have asked me to take care of their dogs, boarding them, bathing them and taking them for walks. I have even cut some of their nails at times. Their animals have always happy to come to my house to visit, get treats, and to just get attention. I am a retired school teacher and am recently widowed, so I live alone with my little dog. I have plenty of time to care and love for more dogs I have a large fenced yard and patio for your dog to run and play ball or share toys with my little 4 year old Miniature Dachshund, Lucy. There is also time for cuddling and relaxing.
“Celeste was amazing helping me look after my new pup. She treated my home and pup with respect and care during her drop in and communicated with me and made me feel very comfortable. I definitely recommend her and will ask her to help again soon :)”
“Ben was absolutely fantastic. I have used him since this stay and am so happy to have found him. My dogs get so excited when he visits. He is the best!!!!”
About: I will take great care of your fluffy! I have had years of experience with both house pets and farm animals! I’ve spent many years working on farms and have worked professionally as an in-home pet sitter for two years. I’ve had experience with elderly animals, puppies/kittens, special needs animals, and with administering medications. I am home full time, with plenty of availability to care for your fur babies! The backyard is fully fenced and there is a dog park close by! We have a spacious house that your pup is free to roam. The backyard is medium sized, safe and well enforced. We have a safe quiet neighborhood that is excellent for long walks, and the dog park is only three minutes down the road!
“Sophia is so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to book her for our pups! She is kind, cares about our dogs, follows our instructions super well, and communicates with us throughout the time she is with them.”
“She was great, super helpful and on time. Took my lil guy on walks and cleaned up after him every visit. Also sent me plenty of pictures to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend her services to anyone going on a trip and needs someone to watch their pet while they’re gone”
“This was my first time using this app, I was so nervous and anxious but Lauren made this experience so great for us. After her first drop when I saw how happy my babies were I knew they were in great hands! I can’t thank or recommend her enough!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have also owned or taken care of a wide array of types of animals. I have plenty of knowledge and experience to take great care of yours too. I work part-time. But I can best be of service in weekday afternoons/evenings. And also weekends on afternoons/evenings. Basically the second half of the day timeline works best for me. I care greatly for them, especially in terms of their physical health, mental health and overall wellbeing. I pride myself on creating a comfortable environment for animals to thrive.
“Angela was AMAZING!! Not only did she watch our two Ragdolls over the Christmas holiday, but she was so responsive to their specific dietary needs (one has prescription food) and their individual personalities. Angela is herself a cat owner and it shows! Prompt, kind, professional, and exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to book her in the future!”
“Leandra was a great cat sitter! Completed multiple drop in visits while I was out of town. Took very good care of my cat. Very communicative, punctual, and accommodating to my cat and residence needs. Would highly recommend Leandra, and will definitely be reaching out for Leandras assistance in the future when needed.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Live Oak
This was my first time hiring someone I didn’t know to visit our dogs while my wife and I were at work, and Kelsie made everything so easy. It put our minds at ease seeing how professional she is and how good she is with our dogs. With 3 dogs, all with different behaviors, she handled herself well with them. Would definitely book with her again.
John is one of the most courteous and caring people I have met in awhile. Roxie loved him immediately and she is not always loving toward people. She loved his visits and was obviously in great spirits when we got home. I could watch them play in out backyard on our Ring camera. Thank you, John you are highly prized, and recommended for anyone in the Selma area.
Mandy and her husband were fantastic! Our dog and cat loved them. My cat needs two pills a day and can be fussy with it, and Mandy was able to give him his pill with ease. I always received a ton a pictures of our fur babies which was amazing. I definitely recommend Mandy!!

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 Live Oak 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 .

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 .
