“We were gone for a week out of state and used Jasmine and she was amazing. Kept us updated on our fur babies, took them on walks, and kept our place neat and tidy! Would love to use her again”
About: I have spent my entire life with animals as part of my family! My experience includes dogs of all breeds and temperaments, from the most relaxed lab to the highest energy pair of cattle dogs. I’ve now also experienced the joys of cats, with my own little kitten! I am ready to be as active or relaxed with your pet as you need. I work part time and have my 3-year-old daughter with me after school hours. I am available for drop ins regularly, and house-sitting/boarding during periods with more availability. In a client’s home, I respect the limits of where you choose to allow your pet and am happy to take dogs on walks or facilitate outdoor time as needed. I have a fenced yard in my home and keep doors to most rooms closed. My home is toddler-proof, so also largely pet proof!
About: I work at a dog boarding & training facility. I have been the trainer there for 5 years now. I personally have 4 Belgian Malinois & 1 German Shepherd. I’m currently working full time as a dog trainer at a dog boarding facility but I am available any day after 3pm & anytime during the weekends! I always make sure dogs are secure when taking them on walks whether that be their harness or making sure the collar is tight enough that it doesn’t slip off.
“This is my second time using Sherry. As soon as she got to my house all of my babies were so excited and happy to see her. They absolutely love her!! She obviously treats them very well and sounds like she spoils them. I highly recommend her”
“We are blown away by Nina and how well she cared for our pets! She was prompt when she came over to meet our fur babies and was very detailed oriented. This was our first time using Rover and have already booked Nina for our next two trips. She sent daily videos and updates, as well as did some brushing on the animals while we were gone. Our home was immaculate when we returned home from a busy day of travel and her personal touches are unparalleled. You should definitely book Nina, just not when I need her, lol.”
“Kathleen is an incredibly kind, calm, and genuine person. I had the privilege of meeting her two times before she came to stay at our home: in which, she instantly made a connection with my pups. She kept me posted daily with pics and videos, and I was so thankful that she considered everything for our dogs as if theu were her own. Great person and I highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with rescue dogs of all backgrounds and needs, learning to react under pressure and be gentle, patient, and caring. I understand when dogs need attention, versus when they need space. I’m currently enrolled as a part time student, meaning my afternoons and weekends are free so I can spend plenty of time taking care of pets. I’m also currently on the search for a part time job so my availability is subject to change in the future. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and play, as well as two small and friendly dogs to keep yours company. If there is any conflict or trouble between them, I can always put them in their crate where they occasionally sleep. We have a variety of toys and a beautiful, safe neighborhood to go for walks in.
“Carolina was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was excellent at communicating and giving updates to us and also left our home clean. She will definitely be rebooked by us in the future!”
About: Hii my name is Caroline & I am 27 years old :) I have been an animal lover my whole life. I got my first dog, a Westie, when I was 8 years old and helped raise and train him myself. I grew up with him and my Scottie, who were truly my babies and both lived long, happy lives. I’m currently in between pets of my own, which is part of why I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention, walks, playtime and company throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and personalities, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own🤍 I work full-time from 9–5, but I work from home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so I’m home most of the week. I only go into the office on Wednesdays, and even then it’s not every week. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks and lots of attention throughout the day I have a secure, fenced yard and a doggy door that is perfect for smaller dogs (although I’m still happy to watch big dogs) I’m happy to care for your pet in my home, stay with them in yours, or stop by for walks, feeding, potty breaks and playtime. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise and love, and I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away🤍 also can do dog walking before/after work if anyone needs just that!
About: I will make sure your fur children are loved! I have 4 pets of my own, 2 dogs and 2 cats! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving basic care like brushing and administering simple medications if needed. I’m also familiar with different pet personalities—some more energetic or anxious—and I adjust my approach based on their needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication with owners, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away! 😊 I am a school counselor for an online school, I work from home. So I am pretty flexible! I can work around my schedule to spend time with your fur children! Safety is #1 priority! I will always make sure to follow any guidelines you give me, and make sure your fur children are always safe!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. As a child we always had dogs and as an adult I have always owned a dog. I pet sit friend's and family's dogs. I have always been successful with house training and training dogs to stay off of furniture etc. Living with and loving dogs, I find, is the best kind of therapy. They offer and deserve unconditional love. For me, dogs are family members!🐕🦺🦮🐕🐶❣ I do not work and I live alone so my schedule is completely up to me. I am very flexible and accommodating. I will work with your needs. I am mature so I know the importance of taking on the responsibility of your home as well as your fur babies. I am very clean too. You will find your home as clean or cleaner than you left it. I can also water plants and retrieve mail. Let me ease your worries while you are away from home. I do not work so my day is very flexible, your pup's schedule will become my schedule! I am free to follow whatever routine you have in place for your dog. I will care for your pets in your home exactly as you do. I request a list of routines and special instructions to make it easier on us both.
“Heather did a fabulous job of looking after my two pups. They had never been left before - so we were a little anxious. One got tricky with her food and was not really eating but Heather worked with her to settle her down and reassure her. The food problem was cured. Heather was extremely communicative and from her observations of our dogs I knew she was taking the time to know them. We were lucky that she could help us out. Would highly recommend Heather to any anxious pet parent.”
About: Hi, I’m Ginger — born and raised in Texas with a heart for animals of all kinds! I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life and currently share my home with a few of my own, including goats, rabbits, dogs, and cats. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s truly my passion. I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including senior animals who need extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medication and following special routines to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your babies and give them (and you!) the best experience possible. 🐾❤️ I’m lucky enough to work from home, so my schedule is super flexible — giving me plenty of time to love on and care for your pets! When I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have plenty of room to play and explore in my large fenced-in yard. If you prefer, we can also go for walks to keep their routine consistent — whatever makes your pet happiest! No matter what, they’ll always get plenty of love, attention, and care. If I’m staying at your home, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. Your pets will always be in safe, loving, and capable hands with me. 🐾
About: Hi there! I've been taking care of animals my entire life. Over the last several years I've gained some clientele and am looking to expand/build on that. I will love your pets as my own and take care of them as if they were my own. I do work a full time job but I work from home on Mondays & Friday’s. Feel free to reach out to ask questions so I can get you scheduled to help you take care of your pet. I don't currently sit in my own home as my pup is a senior citizen and can be a bit grumpy at times. I do however do overnights in my clients homes to take care of your furbabies.
“Steffanie was a dream of a dog sitter! She was timely, clear communication, calm and confident with my girls and flexible with my plans. The dogs were well cared for and she gave me detailed about how the “girls” behaved. I would highly recommend trusting Steffanie with your loved ones.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Magnolia
Viviana was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs, Hazel and Ziion, as well as our home while we were away. She was sweet, attentive, responsible, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She made sure the dogs had fresh water, took them outside, and left everything clean, secure, and in great shape. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our dogs were happy and well cared for and that our home was in good hands. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was throughout her stay. We would absolutely recommend Viviana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to watch Hazel and Ziion! 🐾🤍
Love Jadyn and so do our dogs. I know I can count on her to take care of our house and home, without any concerns. And she walks our dog reactive dogs, which is no easy task. Plus, she came back after the sitting time had ended to let our dogs out again when our flight was delayed 8 hours. Super great when we are able to book with her!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Magnolia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Magnolia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Magnolia 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!

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 .

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.
