About: All my life I've cared for animals of many breeds of dogs and cats. The love and connection I share with animals is second to none when it comes to their well being and safety. I'm a big guy so i can handle your large dogs with walks! I've worked for rover alongside with my girlfriend, who's introduced me to the app, and have had a genuinely great time meeting the community and helping with their pets. I couldn't ask for a better task then to be of help for you and your fur family! My schedule is very open and flexible so most times for drop ins or walks should work! I'm currently working part time as a private lessons teacher for about 3 to 4 hours in the evening and I'm a part time student at Lonestar but I take my classes online. 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.

Best Rover ever! Alex has watched our cat Mika several times now and always takes care of her like she's his own cat. He has watched her overnight before and we feel confident she is safe, happy, and has a clean litter box! We get many pictures and updates each day, and we can tell she really likes Alex from all of the pictures of Mika on his lap and shoulders. Great prices and really helpful that he's been able to watch her even on last minute notice. Thank you Alex!

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: Our dog of 14 years passed in 2024 and our dog of 2 years passed Dec 2025. We arent ready for a permanent new fur baby, but our hearts long to love on yours! Our kids love to run around in the backyard to wear your rambunctious puppies out! We also have experience in administering medications to animals and being gentle to older animals. I am a stay at home mom! Pet care easily fits into my day and nights. I am free to care for pee training puppies as well as needy older dogs. Animals have free reign of our house as we love them to snuggle on the couch with us! However, if your rules and training requires otherwise, we respect and honor that!

Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our mama cat and her 5 kittens for a week while we were out of town on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She responded quickly to my request, communicated personably and professionally, and was very flexible with her schedule to make it work. Every day she sent sweet, reassuring updates with photos, including the kittens’ new milestones, which made being away so much easier. We came home to a happy, healthy mama cat and kittens. She even went above and beyond by watering our flowers and letting us know right away when our AC went out so we could work on getting fixed it while we were away. I truly can’t recommend Sarah enough! She is responsible, caring, and clearly loves animals. We will absolutely book her again! ❤️

I can’t recommend Alyssa enough! She took amazing care of my pets. From the start, communication was clear and prompt—she kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She has a nurturing nature about her which made me feel like my pets were well taken care of. She brought a party hat and took a picture of our dog on his B-day. The other dog rolled on something stinky and she gave him a bath. It was obvious that Alyssa not only met all their basic needs but also gave them lots of love and attention. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable dog sitter, Alyssa is the one. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

About: I have over two years of experience working as a kennel technician at a cat/dog boarding facility. I’m able to care for pets of all ages with all different kinds of health issues, including administering shots and medications. Talk to me about any questions or concerns you might have, and we can figure it out from there. Pet care is my priority right now, so I will have plenty of time to care for your loving fur baby. This includes play time! Allowing pets to stay in their own environment while owners are away is an excellent way to reduce your pet’s overall stress. I’m able to check in on your pet as many times as needed during your time away. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is my number one goal!

About: My family has relied on me to to take care and watch over their dogs, whether it be playing with them, cooking for them, taking care of bath time, walks, or simply just someone to watch over them so they won't be alone. I care for my dogs like they are my own family, and I only would want to treat your precious furry friends and members of the family the same way. Im currently in between work, so im using this as a way to keep money coming in. My schedule is open 7 days week and I have a personal vehicle of my own. So if needed I can run errands and pick up any supplies your pets may need, and in case of emergency, you can count on me to bring your pet to a qualified veterinarian. Simply get with me to make the time frames you would want or need for the day of your choice. Am open to pet sitting for more than one day if needed so. And if your not comfortable with a sitter staying in your own home, im a perfectly capable to make constant check ups on your pets through the days your gone My dog is a rowdy and territorial Yorkie. But I love him all the same. A very playful dog who would bring you his toy for when he wanted playtime. My dog gets to have all the playtime he can have and enjoy long walks, while exploring new neighborhoods to mark. I give him foods he would need, along with his dry food that he has access to anytime of the day and I give him treats that are good for building up jaw strength and cleaning his teeth. While keeping his fur, and nails in check as well, once every two weeks. To ensure no grass or stickers get stuck in his hair during his walks. Overall my Yorkie, has loyalty and love for me, as I do for him. I take care of and pet sit my uncles dogs, one is a retriever border collie mix, and the other is a husky. Both dogs are females and have two completely different personalities, one has energy to play at all times of the day, while the other likes to have attention and belly rubs. I've taken care of these dogs ever since they were pups, and they have impressed on me and always love when I visit them. My uncle trust me to watch over his dogs even when gone for weeks at a time.

About: Hi! I’m Andy, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, and other pets—both my own and those of friends and neighbors—and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. Because I work from home, pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick outdoor break, a midday walk, or just being present for companionship, I’m able to fully accommodate their needs without distractions or schedule conflicts. I love having pets around—it makes my workday better, and I make sure theirs is just as enjoyable and stress-free! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions or medications.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Martindale on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,057 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Martindale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Martindale. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
