“Jenisa was absolutely amazing! This was our first time trying Rover out, and if we ever need a sitter again, Jenisa will be our go to! She absolutely adored our dog, and took care of her like she was her own. She even sent us updates and photos every check in. If you’re looking for someone to go above and beyond for your animals, hire Jenisa! We definitely will again!”

About: I’ve cared for many different breeds of dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I genuinely love animals and always make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I’m comfortable caring for larger dogs and can confidently handle them on walks, as well as pets that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve been a sitter on Rover for over a year now and have had a great experience meeting people in the community and getting to know their pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I’m dependable, easy to communicate with, and always want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands! My schedule is pretty flexible! I attend classes at Texas State University for a few hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I also work part-time as a restaurant server throughout the week. Even with work and school, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m usually available in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, check-ins, and spending quality time with the pets I’m watching. I do my best to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention and care while their owners are away! I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their routines and keeping a clean and tidy environment. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attention, exercise, and respect so your pets feel loved and at ease.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats. I've always had a passion for animals, especially after growing up with several pets, so I love seeing everyone's cute pets I have a completely open schedule at the moment. So I'll be free at any moment and won't turn down a request unless already doing one. I try to make it as seamless as possible since pets can usually get stressed without their parents. Just extra love and following the routine you have already set.
About: I genuinely love animals and am happy to carr for yours like they are my own. Lots of love, snuggles and and playtime. I've had several senior pets and am confident in caring for them and have raised dogs from puppies and am comfortable caring for them as well. I work from home and can work from anywhere so pet sitting works well with my schedule. There are only a few days a week where I have meetings at a particular time, otherwise I can work around the pet needs. Lq I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps normal routines as consistent as possible. I follow each pets feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully and make sure doors, and gates are secure. Building trust is very important to me. I take time to get to know each pet's personality, respect their boundaries, and provide plenty of patience, , attention, and positive interaction. I also keep the home clean and tidy, properly clean up after pets, and watch for any changes in their behavior, appetite and overall well-being.
“Paige was great! Our boys really liked her and everything went great with our first drop-in. She even texted us when she found a little burr on one of our babies. We appreciated her doing that!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family often took in strays and nursed them back to health, so I learned from an early age how to give pets the love and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals—from guinea pigs and turtles to cats and dogs. I’m currently a proud French Bulldog mom to my 5-year-old girl, so I understand what it means to treat pets like family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles, I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’ve had my French Bulldog since she was just a few weeks old, and for the past 5 years I’ve been the one to care for her, train her, and make sure she stays healthy and happy. Frenchies can have a lot of health needs, so I’ve gained experience giving medicine, staying up late when she needed extra care, and always putting her first no matter what’s going on with school or work. She’s truly my little sidekick, and caring for her has made pet care a natural part of my daily routine. At home, I currently care for my French Bulldog and two Great Danes, so daily pet care is second nature to me. That means letting them out regularly, feeding them on schedule, giving them plenty of playtime, and of course, showing them love and attention. I believe pets need more than just food and walks—they need interaction, comfort, and someone to check in on their well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I bring the same routine: making sure they’re safe, fed, exercised, and given the love and attention they deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for 8 years. I have helped administer medicine to animals with diabetes. I also have a dog of my own. I am a college student at Texas State and currently have no other job. I am happy to work around my class schedule to provide the upmost care to your pets. I send multiple pictures to the owner of their pets and any activities their pet may engage in. I keep client’s home tidy and look in all rooms with open doors to check for any accidents. I always go outside with pets. On walks I stay on the opposite side of the walkway from other animals or people.
“I needed Karen to take my Galaxy out once every a day as it was going to be long days out of my house and she provided more than amazing great care to my Galaxy. Thank you soooo much for loving my girl.”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my home and life since I was born! I even took care of my own as young as 6! I’ve had many dogs in my life that I helped care for ranging from a small Yorkie to a large lab. I’ve had 3 dogs I’ve cared for personally and my current is a husky mix and a spaniel mix so I’m not scared of an excited dog! I’m currently a full time student so looking to take jobs after class. I am in the band so I have a lot of concerts but i know about them in advance so I can put them in my schedule! I’ve walked my dog on leash both down back roads surrounded by horses and cows to in neighborhoods full of houses! My dog was definitely a puller so I have some experience in it but I worked with her to quit the habit.

About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.

“Bryanna was great with our Gordito! She was careful and patient with him and made sure all his needs were attended to. She was detail oriented with our specific requests. Would definitely get her again!”

About: I have lots of experience with animals, I am currently an Animal Control Officer and before that I worked at Pet Paradise! I have been trained on dog behavior, Dog CPR and many handling techniques. I grew up on a ranch in liberty hill and learned to love and take care of animals from a young age. I rode horses, fed the cows, pigs etc. I often took care of my grandmas 5 dogs. Currently, I have two dogs. My dog loves to have play dates with other dogs! I currently work M-F and am available early mornings/evenings during the week. During the weekend I am fully available. I typically wake up early and get off early in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time to attend to your furbabies. I am happy to provide feeding, water, walks, playtime and overnight/drop ins depending on what your animal needs and for how long you will be gone.

About: I’ve owned 8 dogs in my life all ranging from elderly to puppy age! I am very patient with anxious pups and love playing with the rambunctious ones! I have school from 12-4:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I work during the day 20 hours a week but my schedule is super flexible and I can work around that! Proper pup care is something I am incredibly passionate about. I make sure my dogs are getting all the nutrients they need and all the love they deserve! I love to play with my pups at home and give them lots of snuggles!

About: I have volunteered in multiple animal shelters, i have been trusted not only by family friends, but have also been recommended to all of my community members! i donated absolutely care and love connecting on a personal level not only with the furry friend, but the family of that friend as well! When i was living in my home town i had to incorporate animals into my schedule regardless. I learned to pay attention and make sure that their schedule coincided with mine perfectly. As well as putting my own time aside to volunteer so i got used to having some sort of other responsibility in my life! I work very proficiently with schedules. If pet is in need of crate training I have some experience in that as well, if pet is more of an attached baby, i have no problem with that as well as my pup is like that! I am very understanding and easy going so whatever your pet needs, i am the person for the job!
About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,926 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Martindale. 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 Martindale 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.

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 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.
