About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! From classic farm animals, household dogs and cats, amphibians, and beyond! Most recently, I’ve loved fostering dogs and cats for my local shelter, in addition to spending my free time exploring the outdoors with my own dog. I love all animals, and am comfortable with all ages, sizes and needs your fur baby may have. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with your needs and ideal routine to ensure the smoothest care possible while you’re away. I value clear and open communication to ensure your pet(s) are safe and their needs are met! Whether you prefer close oversight or are more laid back and want someone who can naturally anticipate needs, I’ve got you covered.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and many years of looking after small dogs for family and friends. Whether your pet is a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a professional nap enthusiast, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day—whether that means playtime, cuddle time, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I have extensive experience with cats and am comfortable caring for multiple pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and become their new favorite sitter! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I’m used to planning my days around a schedule. I’m happy to work with your routine and find times that fit both of our schedules. I’m available outside of my work hours and on weekends, and I’m flexible when it comes to coordinating drop-ins, walks, or stays. Just let me know what your pets are used to and what you need, and we can figure out what works! Since I work full-time Monday through Friday, I know how important it is to have someone reliable who can fit into your pets’ normal routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it and keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone.
“Sara was great! She was so sweet when we met her and our boys were comfortable with her right away. She sent lots of updates and pics while we were gone and the boys were happy and healthy when we returned. We have already booked her for another stay!!”
“Again, Diane was wonderful!!! She gave our dogs so much attention and play time; they love her! We give Diane our highest recommendation, and will be booking with her for all our future needs!”
“Lucrecia was great! Our dog is a bit nervous when we leave, so we tend to go overboard on instructions. Lucrecia was very understanding and our Zeus seems very happy and relaxed around her.”
“Briannah did a great job cat sitting! She sent updates regularly along with pictures of all the babies. She also did amazing with the kittens in quarantine, making sure the space was clean, potty was scooped, and kittens were medicated. Very reliable!”
“Johnathan did an amazing job being an emotional support person for my dog, King, who has his own little mental health struggles\! 😂 I was honestly a little nervous about having a male come over because King can sometimes be a little funny around men\. But to my surprise, King didn’t hesitate for a second when he met Johnathan\! He was comfortable with him right away, which says a lot\. Thank you, Johnathan, for taking the time to come hang out with King and give him some love and attention\. I will definitely be having you back anytime King needs some extra support\! 🐾❤️”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening. My home has a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for safe, supervised play. I closely monitor interactions, follow your pet's routine, and can crate them if needed for comfort.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always been the type of person who notices their little routines, quirks, and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, extra cuddles, or giving them a little space. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for like they matter. My schedule gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my week, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m available for drop ins, house sitting, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of check ins. I also don’t mind sending lots of photo updates so you can see how things are going while you’re away. I take pet care and being in someone else’s home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to feeding and medication routines, and pay attention to any changes in your pet’s behavior. I also like to know all the little details ahead of time, including hiding spots, escape-artist tendencies, favorite toys, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have a special place in my heart for senior pets, special-needs pets, and the people who worry about leaving them. I’ve been a pet parent my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for elderly and chronically ill animals, including administering oral and injected medications. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for visits, walks and quality time with your pets. I’ve loved dogs and cats through every stage of life, from energetic youngsters who want to play all day to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m just as happy throwing a ball for the wild child as I am cuddling on the couch with the old soul. My Aussie lived to 17, and I’ve cared for an elderly beagle, an 18-year-old cat, and a pug with chronic illness. Those experiences taught me how important routine, patience and attention to subtle changes can be. I’m also a Rover pet parent myself, so I know what it’s like to be on the other side of the booking. I always preferred having my pets remain comfortable at home, with someone who didn’t just feed them and leave but actually spent time with them. That’s the kind of sitter I want to be for you. My philosophy is pretty simple: their time with us is too short not to spoil them. ❤️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so dogs staying with me get plenty of companionship, attention and potty breaks throughout the day. I live in a house with a fenced yard and share my home with my pug. I’ve spent much of my life in a multi-pet household, so having extra furry faces around feels very normal to me! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dogs staying with me, I work from home, so I’m around throughout much of the day to provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime and attention. I have a fenced yard and a lifetime of experience sharing my home with dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with senior and special-needs pets and have experience administering oral and injected medications. I follow feeding, medication and care instructions closely and will keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and loved.
“Alex was so sweet and caring with our 3 girls and our 6 chickens! He house sat for us and provided excellent care and updates to us multiple times a day. It was exactly what my nervous mom heart needed. He was persistent with trying to win over our rescue dog that took a few days to join her sisters in accepting the kind stranger in her home. He was thorough in reading our notes and asking questions. Communication was excellent. We would recommend Alex to anyone else needing a sitter!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with both dogs and cats, and for the past 7 years, I’ve cared for my own pets. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages, including Chows and Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable walking dogs, administering medications, caring for pets with medical needs, and handling seizures. I enjoy everything from active walks and playtime to quiet companionship and providing extra patience when needed. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as staying in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s specific needs to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, maintain their pets’ normal routines, and keep their environment clean and safe. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything that could pose a safety risk. I also understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own environment, especially when their owners are away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want both you and your pets to feel comfortable and cared for!
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and grew up with dogs my whole life. I just finished 1 year working at a doggy daycare and absolutely loved it! I have experience taking care of all ages of dogs from puppy’s to seniors! I just moved from Michigan to Texas so i’m still figuring out my schedule but I plan to work with dogs as a side job. I currently care for 2 adorable cats. My roommate and I feed them twice a day and play with them a ton! We actually just recently adopted the second one so we’re working on getting the cats used to eachother still and introducing them the right way!

Great pet caregiver with amazing preparation. Karla is very sensitive to the needs of owner and my girls. She comes to see the dogs before the stay to make sure they are all good with each other. She's a great communicator. She walks them and loves on them to their comfort level. My girls are in great care when Karla stays with them. Highly recommend.

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 McQueeney 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 McQueeney 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.
Tip: 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 McQueeney 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McQueeney. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
