“Brittany was available last minute and was so kind. She shared a little about her experience with a Yorkie and it assured me she was a good fit. I loved getting pictures and continuous communication that assured me my little pup was in good hands. Thank you, Brittany!”
“Landon was great! He came through for me on a weekend I had something come up unexpectedly and even though he wasn't available to house sit he did check ins on my dog at the exact times I asked him to. Much more dependable than others on Rover! Highly recommended!”
About: Every dog is different, requiring different types of care; lazing about, long play times, or simply just having a stroll through the neighborhood. I ensure all of these needs are met regardless of the type of dog. Open availability Wednesday thru Friday, if you would like to book any other days, I am open for the conversation! Weekdays, weekends or even holidays. If you have specific requirements of me, I will do everything to meet them, from your home to your pets needs. From every mess they make.
“Teresa took very good care of my little old lady kitty which included oral meds and eye drops. She gave her lots of pets and was very reliable. Will definitely book again if we need a sitter.”
About: I've lived in a house full of dogs for years so I feel more than qualified to handle a house full of your furry friends or a house with one. I've pet sat for friends and family so I know how important it is your dogs don't feel alone. Nowadays, even with the heat I'm a big fan of taking walks with my dogs. We're both fans of the exercise and I have a small wading pool as a treat after the walk. I normally take them early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is not at its hottest to protect their feet. I only work part time early mornings so I have a wide open afternoon schedule that is available. I'm willing to be flexible with your schedule. I'm all about positive reinforcement and love to play with dogs. I understand dogs can get rough and I'm not afraid of their nibbles but I do know how to distract and redirect their attention in the case of extreme rough play. I'm a big fan of treats so I do include treats during my time with dogs. As long as there is a fenced in back yard, I don't like to rely too heavily on a leash but like for the dog to feel free to roam.
“Michaela did an excellent job watching my cats again! She truly cared about them like they were her own and always kept me updated on how they were doing. She also followed all of my instructions and gave my cats extra love through snuggles and pets while I was gone. She truly makes me so comfortable leaving my cats, since I know they are in great hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Laken took the absolute best care of our dogs while we were on vacation, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! Leaving your pets behind is never easy but she made the entire experience stress free. She kept us updated, sent pictures, and treated our dogs like they were her own! We came home to happy, well-loved pups and a house just as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, comfortable, and cared for so attentively. If you’re looking for someone dependable and genuinely amazing with animals, Laken is your girl! We are so grateful for her and will definitely be using her again!”
About: With a background in professional animal care and a lifelong love for dogs, I offer dedicated, high-quality pet sitting services right here in our community. My experience goes beyond basic feeding and walks; I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and am comfortable managing everything from high-energy puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. Whether it's sticking to a strict medication schedule or ensuring your pup gets their favorite afternoon playtime, my priority is maintaining your pet's routine and happiness. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and treating every furry client like a member of my own family. I make sure they gotta atleast 4x a day and eat 2x a day unless owner has their own schedule. excercise is important to me and for the dogs so I make sure their out running around or playing fetch 1st I ask if the owner has a schedule I go by that or I make sure they eat 2x a day and outside 4x I love giving belly rubs and makeing sure their comfortable during their stay.
About: I have been caring for animals of all sizes my whole life. From small critters to the biggest babies, I am here to reliably care for your pets when life gets busy! I know life gets busy and our pet loved ones need attention and care through it all. I am reliable and available on short or long notice. I care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable and things are familiar. I find this helps pets have the best time while their humans are away or busy!
About: I've taken care of cats for almost 4 years now. I have a 3.5 yr old male grey tabby named Milo, a 2 yr old male orange tabby named Pancake, and 2 yr old long-haired female black cat named Mya. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them...or respecting their space if preferred. I like to make sure they have a proper diet and clean litter boxes. I can administer eyes drops and liquid medications per instructions. I can also provide services such as fur brushing and nail trims, if needed (and your cat is cooperative). I work full-time Monday through Friday and take care of my kitty cats. I would love to help take care of other pets on Saturdays, Sundays, and some holidays. I make sure sure that kitty cats have food, clean water, and clean litter boxes. I will also play, cuddle, or respect their need for space.
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs
About: I’ve had pets all my life, and I’m a real animal lover! Your pet will be in great hands! I cant wait to meet them! I help take care of my dogs every day by doing miscellaneous tasks. Walking them, feeding them, and taking them for bathroom breaks! I’m a natural:) I make sure that all animals are comfortable around me before I get too close to them. I like to build trust and make sure they are in a safe environment!
About: I love animals. To add to that, dogs and cats love me and typically come up to me for love and attention. I also talk to them like I would a baby.. that's not weird, right? I work full time 6 days, but typically have 3 consecutive days off, so I can give your pets the attention they need as long as you need it. I can stop by in the evenings on workdays or anytime on my days off. My dog and cats are all indoor pets. They do not step foot outside sadly. They are very delicate to the environment here in Texas. I feed them 3 times a day and they receive fresh water.
“If you're debating between using Lilianais and someone else, go with her! She’s incredibly punctual, reliable, and always super accommodating. My schedule has been unpredictable lately, but she’s consistently gone above and beyond to help with last-minute changes and additions to the schedule. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s clear how much she cares for the pets she looks after. Lilianais is an absolute gem—I can’t recommend her enough”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lorena stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Lorena 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 .
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.
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.
To find sitters in Lorena with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
