“She was great and communicated well! She took special care to make sure a wound on our cat was healing. She wasn’t hesitant at all to do the litter which was really nice. Overall she did a great job and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Victoria did an amazing job, very last minute we realized our previously used Rover sitter had moved (much to our dismay because she was awesome too) but luckily I saw Victoria's bio and the fact she was in the Army I took as a sign because my dad was also in the Army. She did an amazing job and went above and beyond having to build a "barricade" but it was successful and our dogs seemed to really love her judging by the pics she sent. We definitely plan to request her in the future and recommend her.”

About: I really care about animals and pay attention to what they need to feel safe and happy. I’m patient and easygoing, so pets usually feel comfortable around me. Most of all, I’ll treat them with love and make sure they don’t feel alone while you’re gone. I am currently a college student and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I can check in on your pets during the morning/afternoon when you’re at work! I have a fence in my backyard that was put in 2 years ago! I have a large backyard with many trees! Your animals will be cared for and loved in my home!
About: I grew up with large dogs -Cane Corsos, Mountain Malamutes, German Shepherds, Great Danes, etc.- all my life. From small dogs full of energy to gentle giants, I take the time to get to know your fur family's needs so their routine is comfortable, consistent, and stress-free while you're away 🐶❤️ I'm a full-time student with Rover as my part-time job year round and during peak holiday periods; I do drop-in visits, house sitting, and walks! My personal schedule fluctuates frequently which provides an incredibly flexible schedule based on your fur children's routines. 🛑 🗓️ I do require at least a weeks notice for bookings and can't guarantee last minute scheduling. 🛑 🏠 I cannot provide boarding in my home. I prefer going to where the pets are the most comfortable for their care, in their own home. 🏠 At your home, I prefer to have every detail possible to make sure your fur family's routine is being upheld from administering medicine, outside time, to minimal home care such as watching over plants. 💊 If your fur children have specific needs (senior, kitten, puppy, surgery recovery, etc.), I'd love to open up a conversation on how I can make them feel the most comfortable while you're away.

About: I haven’t taken care of dogs for my entire life, but I’ve always had a passion for them! I have experience taking care of my roommates pets since I’ve been in college and I now have a dog of my own that I care for! This includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and maintaining consistent schedules. The dogs I’ve cared for range from 6 months to 10 years old so I have experience with all ages and stages of life. I have a deep love for animals and I’m an agriculture major at Texas Tech so animals are part of my studies as well! As a college student, I value communication and reliability. I’ll make sure your pet receives attention, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated! My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have another part-time job, so I will have a lot of time to care for your pets! I’m typically available to take care of your pets after 3pm Monday through Thursday and all day Friday through Sunday! I will not be taking pets in my own home as I live in student housing, but I know the importance of keeping your pet comfortable both in and outside the home! I have a dog of my own and it took him a while to get comfortable, so I know how to help a pup adjust and will learn your dog’s personal quirks to ensure the best care!
About: I have grown up with 2 of my own dogs so I understand the deep love we all have for our pets and how much apart of our family they are. I understand how to take care of dogs and the attention they require. I have pet sat for many friends with dogs of all breeds and sizes so I am very comfortable around big and small dogs. I also have much experience with senior pups. I understand that they need a little extra love and attention which I am more than happy to give. I can give walks and give baths and play with them when they need to get the zoomies out! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am a full time in person student but I am able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special needs a pet may have, such as medications or extra supervision. The typical morning and evening visits are automatically fit into my schedule and middle of day visits can be arranged if your pet needs it. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering medications or providing senior care if needed. I also keep the environment clean and safe, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. Any gates or doors will remain closed and locked to ensure your home and pets safety. I also send daily pup reports so that my clients can see their pets and be informed of any updates.
About: I love pets and spending time with them. I don't have one currently because I’m in college and I can't afford them. My brother has a dog that I take care of every winter when he travels. I have a lot of time to spend on your pets. I've had a dogs and a cat my whole life. I'm college student that’s currently on summer break with nothing to do, so l have plenty of time to care for your pets as if they were my own. I live in an apartment community but there is a fenced yard for pets and I live fairly close to a park and a walking trail is just down the street from where I live.
About: I grew up on a farm so I have experience with dogs, cats, and many more. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages and personalities, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had animals to feed, care for, and spend time with every day. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets in my home and my clients’ homes by treating them like my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable space, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow each pet’s routine and needs closely to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I earned my certificate as a vet tech assistant in 2013 at Eastern New Mexico University (Roswell). I used to dog sit for a family friend for several years.

“She was excellent with my two old boys. Very responsive to any questions and giving daily updates! Will be using her very soon again. Don’t question, just give her a chance to watch your fur baby!”


About: I have great experience in both dogs and cats. I’ve raised both of my kittens since they were about a month old, so I am confident in working with younger pets in addition to seniors. I grew up with dogs, whom it was my sole responsibility to take care of. I have experience with all different dog personality types, including hyper. I am confident in my ability to care for either your cat or dogs needs! I am a full time student at Tech who typically works full time throughout the school year. This summer I am taking online courses and that is my only engagement. I am available most of the time to help you and your pet in any way you need! I think watching a pet in their own home/environment is important to them feeling safe and secure. I can ensure that anything the pet needs, I will be there to do it. I love notes and instructions, and would love to know your pets daily schedule, medications, treats, and any crucial information for your pet’s needs, and will follow it to a T.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with small dogs, medium dogs, and large dogs! I have a short-haired German pointer named Bonnie. My husband and I adopted her in August 2024 after we lost our dog Peter Pan in June. I have experience with dogs with seizures as well. Peter experienced seizures. I also have experience with senior dogs who have trouble walking and back problems. My dog I grew up with back problems and I learned how to feed her when she couldn’t walk. I am a stay at home mom to my 1 year old, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Weekends I’m free in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings before 6:30 pm.

About: I have taken care of dogs big and small for the past 7 years. I have also grown up around dogs and have been properly trained to care for the needs of different dogs. I work a hybrid scheduled job Monday through Friday from 8-4 so I have a flexible remote schedule. I am available for care on Mondays aftr 4:00PM, Tuesdays and Wednesdays all day, Thursdays and Fridays after 4:00PM. That includes feedings and walking as well. I do get an hour lunch break each day to leave work. During the weekends I am available all day to stay and watch dogs. I am very attentive to details when it comes to the safety of your pet. “I believe that one of the most important qualities of a successful pet sitter is compassion. You need to genuinely care about animals in order to do this job well. I love spending time with pets because they are so loving and affectionate. Another quality is patience. Pets can be unpredictable at times, which means you need to stay calm when things don’t go as planned. Patience also helps me communicate effectively with owners.

About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years, but it is my favorite side job! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and have been trusted to stay in homes to take care of people’s beloved family members, and their home. I’m currently an elementary school teacher at Wolffarth Elementary in North Lubbock. Depending on what area I am in, I will usually leave with enough time to get to work by 7am. I cannot leave for lunch as I sadly only have 30 minutes, but I am done by 4 every day. This makes it easy to spend the evening with them and I won’t have different hours every day - routine is great for pets! I also share holidays with students so I am pretty available for sitting jobs at those times. While my apartment is a 1 bedroom, it is cozy and great for lower energy dogs. I have plenty of space for them to lay out and they stay in the air conditioning all day. For more active pets, I live right next to a middle school with a paved track for walking, and I am close to a park for dogs who love to run and play fetch!

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities and needs. During college, I volunteered for four years at a cat sanctuary, where I helped with daily feeding routines, administering medications, monitoring health, and socializing them to prepare for adoption. Whether your pet needs playtime, meds, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I’m currently spending most of my time studying for med school applications, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around feedings, check-ins, and quality time. I’m very used to sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a familiar environment by providing timely feedings, fresh water, medication as needed, litter box maintenance, and attentive observation of behavior or health changes. I also make sure pets receive appropriate playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship. My experience volunteering at a cat sanctuary has taught me to be patient, detail-oriented, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since as early as I can remember! My fiancé and I have fostered and cared for homeless dogs that we’ve found, and have even adopted one!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lubbock
We had such an amazing experience with Kassandra during our wedding weekend! 🐾🤍 Leaving our two babies while traveling for our wedding was something I was honestly a little nervous about, but from the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated our dogs like her own. We received updates and check-ins, which meant so much to us and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding without constantly worrying about how our babies were doing. It was such a relief knowing they were safe, happy, loved, and well taken care of while we were away. Our dogs clearly had a great time and were comfortable with her, which says everything! I’m so grateful for the care and kindness she showed our babies during such a special weekend for us. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving toward their pets. We will definitely be using her again! 🐶❤️ Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies! You gave us one less thing to worry about during our wedding weekend, and we truly appreciate it! 💍🐾

Ava did a wonderful job in taking care of our kittens and dogs. She came daily for 10 days while we were out of town, fed the dogs, checked their water, fed our kittens, checked their water, cleaned their litter box daily. We have some wild ducks who show up so she was kind to put food and water out for them daily also. When we came back and she came by to say goodbye, the pets were so comfortable with her and at ease. We plan on using Ava again in a few months. She is very pleasant, follows directions well and did a super job keeping up with four pets daily. She also kept us updated daily with pictures and texts which we enjoyed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lubbock is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $23 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 398 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lubbock. 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.
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 Lubbock 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 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.
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.

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.
