About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.
“Ashlee has been great with my kitty. I travel for work and Ashlee watches my MauMau when I have to leave town. She communicates great, sends lots of pics and updates.”
“Kelsey was fantastic in dealing with a rambunctious Rottweiler. She rolled with the shifts in things really well and was very helpful in communicating! Would rebook in a heartbeat”
“My fur babies loved her! I especially loved how she filled the updates with cute little things she noticed about them. It really showed she took the time to get to know their personalities. My dogs love people but can be a little crazy sometimes, and reading her comments let me know she totally understood them. It was super heartwarming and comforting!”
“Stephanie was great! She even wiped down everything after she left due to COVID! She went the extra mile for the safety of us and our babies. She kept us updated with pics. Therefore we were able to have a great vacation. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Alexandra was fantastic with my dog Sally! I was very worried about leaving my dog for a whole week, but my anxiety subsided as I saw pictures of Sally warming up to Alex. Alex really made an effort to win my dog over by playing fetch with her, spending lots of time with her, and taking her for walks. 🥰 Not only did Alex care for my dog exceptionally well, but she offered to bring in the mail and trash cans for me. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond. Communication was excellent, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to provide quality care of their beloved pets.”
About: I've owned and taken care of animals all my life, from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and rabbits. Friends and family often ask me to pet sit for them when they're out of town, and I'm familiar with processes for gaining trust and increasing comfort of even wary animals! I'm currently student teaching, and so during the week I will stop by to check on and tend to any pets and hang out with them for a while working on lesson plans and such, or playing if the pet feels up to it, and then heading back to my house to rest for the coming day In my home I feed and water my animals checking on them first thing when I wake up and letting my dog out first thing when I get home and last thing before I go to bed, making sure to get in as many cuddles as I can in between

About: I’m an Animal Science student at Texas Tech with hands-on experience caring for and training dogs. I understand animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to keep pets safe and comfortable. I have experience working with different temperaments, including energetic dogs and more anxious pets. I’ve also worked at a pet hotel, where I handled onboarding, daily care, walks, pet runs, potty breaks, and enrichment activities. This role taught me how to manage multiple dogs at once, read behavior cues, and safely step in when needed—including breaking up conflicts. I consistently maintained a safe environment and never had any issues under my care. I take pet care seriously and focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving environment. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, walks, or just giving your pet attention and companionship, I make sure they feel at home while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I currently work part-time, but my hours have been reduced, so I’m looking to gain more hands-on experience in animal behavior and animal science while earning additional income. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends with prior confirmation. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and accommodating to your pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and overall well-being to ensure pets feel secure and stress-free. At home, I care for my own cat, who has access to a stimulating and enriching environment with plenty of toys, scratchers, and high-quality treats, including freeze-dried options like shrimp, minnows, and chicken hearts. I maintain a clean space by regularly cleaning the litter box every 1–3 days using natural, fragrance-free litter. He also has access to a stainless steel water fountain with a filter to promote clean, bacteria-free water, and I support his health with a balanced dry diet supplemented with salmon oil. This level of care reflects how I treat every pet—paying attention to detail, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure their physical and emotional needs are met.
About: I have worked and shadowed in veterinary clinics/rehabs and pet boarding/daycare facilities, I volunteer sometimes at my local animal shelter, I am currently in college studying kinesiology to do canine rehabilitation, and I also sit and walk my family friends dogs and cats occasionally. I have classes, volunteering, and clinic shadowing during the week, but I usually have time for potty breaks or walks throughout the day! Weekends are open for me. In client’s homes, I take the time to understand your pet’s needs and how they act. I will make sure to follow every feeding and medication instructions precisely, and make sure there are no changes in behavior or health with your baby. I have worked at a pet boarding facility so I know how to see changes in behavior and health, and I am used to feeding and administering medication to dogs and cats. I will also keep your home nice and clean, just the way I found it.
About: I grew up around dogs, cats, turtles, rats, reptiles, insects, and definitely a few more I don’t remember. I can help with whatever is needed. I am currently living on campus at college, however all of my classes get out at 2pm. I also have more than enough time between classes to drop in and check on/ take care of an animal. I’ll care for your pets however you need. They’re picky? Don’t like people? High energy? I’ve got it. I worked as a dog trainer/groomer for two years and have experience with all temperaments.

Pet 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! 💍🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lubbock is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 411 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.

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.
