About: My friends and family never hesitate to reach out when they need dog sitting. I am reliable and will make sure your pets are well taken care of! I'm currently waiting on my license to be approved before beginning my new job in August. Until then I am wanting to fill my time enjoying the company of all kinds of pets! I am very flexible and want to ensure your pets needs are taken care of. I like to actively engage with dogs by playing in the yard or taking them on walks. I make sure to keep a clean environment and leave the space better than I found it. I love rewarding pups with a small treat after a hangout.
About: I believe dogs are the best “people,” with dog owners coming in a close second. (And yes, I adore cats, too. But if I just had to pick one, I’d be team dog.) I’ve never not had a dog in my entire life. Growing up with beloved family dogs, I got my first official dog, Babar, a Weimaraner, during my senior year in college. Then came a pair of Italian greyhounds (Tag and Tootsie). Next, a standard poodle (Paulette), then a second standard poodle (Ginger), and finally, a toy poodle (Tanner). Currently, we are down to just Tanner and all ten pounds of his big dog personality. I remember being a young professional and wishing I could have help with my Italian Greyhounds when I had to work late. I’ve had friends who’ve had health issues and couldn’t take their dogs out for a walk. Acquaintances with a family crisis in need of support for their furry family members. Cat parents out of town seeking someone trustworthy to check in daily. I understand the need and the desire for someone you can trust. I live in Lucas, Texas, and have two teenage sons in high school. My husband works in business. My primary job is mom, and I also do creative writing. I’ve found getting out and loving on others’ pets to be the perfect accompaniment to my writing. Read: salve for writer’s block. I especially love getting outdoors (sitting at the computer and writing all day doesn’t work). I’m up for long walks, short walks, going out in the backyard to play, or simply checking in. I’m driven. I graduated with honors from Ole Miss and earned my MBA from Millsaps College. I’m dependable. I worked in corporate America for over ten years. Most importantly, I’m passionate about all animals, big and small, domesticated or wild, furry or not. Ok, maybe not snakes, but I know they serve a role in the grand scheme of things. I’d love to meet you and your four-legged friend to see if we are a match.
“Timothy was great with Ozzy. Ozzy was a little nervous at first, but Timothy was patient and calm and let Ozzy get used to him. He seemed very comfortable and experienced. 10/10 - will book with Timothy again!”
“Kayla was amazing! She came and completed drop ins on our dogs. One of our does has diabetes and requires an injection daily and Kayla was able to complete that with ease. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m confident, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, playtime, and comfort so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. 🐾💗 I am a high school senior heavily involved in band. I have some weekends I go to my mom’s house but I will have those in my calander. I can do morning visits before 8am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and before 9am on Tuesday and Thursday. I can come in the afternoon after 4. On weekends when I’m in town I am flexible! During each visit, I can take your pet on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, feed them according to their routine, and spend time playing so they stay happy, active, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter who’s cared for many different dog breeds, big and small. I have a secure yard, offer overnight stays, and love taking dogs on long walks no matter how many hours they need! I’m great at keeping pups happy and active, and I always keep their owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me! I provide full-time care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. During the day, I make sure your pup stays happy, active, and comfortable. We go on multiple walks (as long as needed!), enjoy playtime in my yard, take breaks for cuddles and rest, and stick to any feeding or medication schedules you provide. I also offer overnight care and keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority every day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. My home is dog-friendly with a secure yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I maintain a clean, calm environment with plenty of space for rest, play, and cuddles. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I stick to your pet’s routine, ensure they feel comfortable in their space, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention. I closely monitor pets at all times and never leave them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also keep in touch with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Sydney was awesome! She asked questions to make sure our cat was getting the best care and was extremely attentive to our cat’s needs. She completed care that we didn’t even ask her to do because that’s how thorough and thoughtful she is! We will definitely be booking with Sydney again. Our cat wasn’t even mad we left, haha”
“Roua is such a gift to our family! We fully trust her with our Aussie and we know she will have fun and be loved. Roua is always on time and we are very grateful for her care for our furry family member.”
About: I've always had pets at home since I was a little boy. My parents always taught me how to take care of the furry family members with love and joy. I'm currently working, so I have openings during lunch time for a quick visit and after 5 pm and can stay for a longer period if needed. I have two beautiful cats and a newly adopted dog, so I know what they like to play and like how they like to get petted, always paying attention to their sensitive areas. As for dogs, I've always did well with them as long as their as friendly.
“We appreciate we found Kendyl so much!❤️ We love she has lived her entire life surrounded by animals since her dad is a vet.. That definitely gave us peace of mind when did the meet & greet as new pet owners. She is very patient and adjust depending on your needs.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lucas 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 Lucas 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 .

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 Lucas with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
