“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!”
“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful! She is dependable and trustworthy. It's obvious that she loves animals and my pups Bonnie and Boo adore her. It's been such a blessing to feel confident that Bonnie and Boo are so well taken care of while I travel for work. ❤️”
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!
“Kelsey was great! She did a few 30min drop ins for our two dogs while we were out of town. She always communicated when she was heading over, left notes and pictures each time, and even placed our Amazon packages on the counter (a small, but thoughtful gesture)! We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Camila! I’m a student at Texas Tech and a huge animal lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I currently have two Bernese Mountain Dogs back home, so I’m very comfortable with big dogs and all their energy and personalities. Since I was a teenager, I’ve helped neighbors by walking and spending time with their dogs just because I enjoy it so much! I truly care about pets and love giving them lots of attention, patience, care, and affection. Being around animals has always made me happy, so this is something I genuinely enjoy doing! I’m in Lubbock for the summer taking classes during the day, but outside of that I’m pretty flexible and happy to work around your schedule. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I can usually make it work! I live in an apartment near campus, but there are lots of green areas nearby and I’m also close to a dog park and great walking spots! I always make sure pets are safe on walks, stay on leash, and get lots of attention and care. I follow instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy the whole time!
About: I have taken care multiple breeds of dogs and cats since a young age. I have 3 dogs which are all potty trained and well taken care of! Also, I have 2 calico cats that get along great with the dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to love and care for there animals I’ve recently just got done playing basketball here at Texas Tech, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I have a fenced in yard and two furry friends to keep your dog company if you would like. I can also crate your dog if that’s what you prefer!
“Judy and Cliff are kind, helpful, thoughtful, and very professional pet sitters. I have used them several times and would highly recommend them. My cat almost looked happier with them than with me! Haha”
About: Hi everyone! I’m a dedicated and trustworthy pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, and keeping pets active and engaged. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always provide updates, photos, and clear communication. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities! I have two dogs of my own back in my hometown who I love very much. I can't wait to devote my time to your pets! 💛 Let me know how I can help! 🐕 I currently work part-time as a Therapy Technician at a UMC Team Rehab clinic, so this gives me plenty of time to care for your pet! I am off on weekends, and during the week I mainly work in the afternoons, but I am off by dinner time, so I will have no issues scheduling-wise! My apartment is gated, and has lots of green space where I always see dogs playing! I strive to give the best service to my clients' pets every time I watch them, and I hope to create a space that feels like home for the pet!
About: My name is Holly and I am a big animal lover! I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of them. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding for 2 years. I am experienced in all sizes and age in dog care and walking, understanding and familiar with different dog attitudes such aa anxiety and others, feeding schedules, administering medication, and any specific pup needs! I am currently a student at Texas Tech University and also work a part-time job! With it being summer my weekdays are pretty open! I’ll update my availability regularly! Weekends I am pretty open but I’d prefer at least a days notice! As I am in an apartment I will be doing care in client homes. Caring for a dog in a client home would entail hanging out with them the whole time while I’m there whether it be sitting in the living room together or playing outside and walking!
“Jennifer was great with our 3 large dogs! I was looking for someone with experience with dogs that can be rowdy/sometimes intimidating and was so nervous looking for someone new to introduce our dogs to but Jennifer was a perfect match and our dogs loved her. She was great at communication too. Her experience with large breed dogs made me feel very confident and will definitely use her again!”
“Jordyn was amazing!! She took great care of our pup sent updates and pictures! She made me feel so comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages for over 12 years. I’m comfortable with training routines, medication schedules, senior care, and high-energy pups. Neighbors, friends, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their dogs, knowing I’ll treat them like my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog my full attention. I’m available Everyday. I am able to do this as I am a personal tutor. I have a fenced backyard and two sweet, well-socialized dogs to keep your pet company. I always supervise outdoor play, use secure leashes on walks, and can crate if needed. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first in my home.
“Gwendolyn provided the highest level of possible service for our sweet girl. Our dog has a few disabilities that make basic care, difficult. From the start, Gwendolyn took the extra time to talk to both my husband and I as well as interact with our dog to fully understand our Angel. I will make Gwendolyn our go-to carer.”
About: As a Texas Tech graduate with a degree in Animal Science, I have had years of experience with a variety of animals. My main focus has primarily been with cats and dogs. I will be attending veterinary school in the Fall at Texas A&M university. I balance pet care with my daily activities and will always make time when available. I’m mainly available in mornings and evenings, but can always rearrange my schedule. I value respect and safety. I will treat your animal and home with the upmost respect. Additionally, I will create a safe environment within my home and want to ensure overall sense of comfort for the animal and owner.
About: I have always grown up with many different types of pets throughout my life and have always loved animals. I’ve taken on volunteering roles with animal shelters as well to help provide care to all pets in need. My family has also always entrusted me with watching all their animals while they are away on travels as well. I’m currently taking online classes with a fully open schedule throughout the week expect mainly Thursday's to volunteer. I’m hoping that with the use of rover I’m able to get out more and spend time meeting new furry friends. :) I like to make sure all pets weather I’m having them in my home or checking on them at others to always be properly looked after and given lots of love.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lubbock
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.
Hanna took great care of my fur babies. She is patient and so understanding of each of my dogs. She is punctual and consistent on her visits which is important for dogs like mine who are very use to a schedule. I highly recommend Hanna for pet sitting needs and will use her again. Thank you Hanna. :)
Andrea was so great to give me insights on what my pups did while I was away. Andrea stepped in and saved me by being able to check on my pups through the holidays and at the last minute!!! I will absolutely request Andrea again the next time I have to be away!!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lubbock 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 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 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 Lubbock 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.
