About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was little. I grew up having dogs and cats of all temperaments in the home. I am very active so I am definitely able to handle high energy animals as well as moderate and low energy animals. I like to stick to a schedule so if you like your pet to have routine I am more than willing to work with them! Older animals, anxious animals, hyper animals, I have experience with them all so trust that your furry (or not so furry) babies will be in good hands! I am currently doing Rover as a side hustle as I am in between jobs since moving here so I am available whenever you need me! My animals get regular affection, just about every hour on the hour by their request! I give potty breaks every 1-2 hours as well as plenty of exercise and play throughout the day to keep them enriched and engaged!
“Amanda did a wonderful job checking in on our dogs! We booked last minute and our pets liked her from the minute we had the meet and greet. She also accommodated us on our request for an additional visit. She was very descriptive on drop ins too and that was nice. We will use Amanda again and we recommend!”
“Tasha was so great with my pups. My babies looks so happy and well taken care of after got back from my short vacation. She goes above and beyond and kept my apartment tidy as well. She’s awesome and very passionate of what she does! Thank you so much!”
“Teresa was wonderful with my cat. My shy cat took right to her the first time they met. Teresa came over once a day to care for my cat and spent over 30 minutes with her every time, not just caring for her but petting her and playing with her. She sent me pictures of her and a note to let me know how she was doing. She definitely put my mind at ease about leaving my cat alone for several days. Highly recommend!”
About: Over the past 3 years, I’ve helped a close friend by caring for her dogs while she was away. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, walks, and a consistent routine so they feel happy and comfortable. I offer in-home visits for your pets at times that work best for you. Each visit includes attention, playtime, and care that keeps their routine consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I provide safe and reliable in-home care for your pets. I follow your instructions carefully, make sure your pet feels comfortable, and keep their routine consistent. I also update you if anything important happens, so you always know your pet is safe and happy.
“Brianna was great and very accommodating. She provided great communications throught the week and we could tell our companions were well taken care of. We really enjoyed the numerous photos to allow us tobsee how well they were doing. Our minds were certainly at ease allowing us to enjoy our time away from home. Thanks Brianna!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover, educator, and dependable caregiver who understands that pets are family. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving home where your dog will feel comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are part of who I am. I bring those same qualities to caring for every pet. Whether your dog enjoys playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing with lots of affection, I’ll tailor their care to fit their routine and personality. I believe in keeping pet parents informed, so you can expect regular updates and photos during your dog’s stay. I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My home is a peaceful environment, and I treat every dog like one of my own. Before boarding, I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it’s the perfect fit for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work full-time as a teacher Monday through Friday. On weekdays, I leave home around 6:45 a.m. and return by approximately 4:30 p.m. Because of this, I am best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home without a human during the school day. I have two dogs of my own that could be your pet’s company. I also have cameras that helped me keep an eye on the dogs. Outside of work, I’m home for the evenings and provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. On weekends, I’m typically home most of the day, allowing for lots of companionship and quality time with your pet. I’m committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as much as possible and will provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Every dog is different, so I like to tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s preferences. Before each stay, we’ll discuss your dog’s routine, sleeping arrangements, exercise needs, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. I have a secure, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. My home also has a dog door that can be opened or closed depending on what’s safest and most appropriate for your dog. If your dog is crate trained, I have dog kennels available and am happy to follow your normal crate routine, including during the school day if that’s what they’re accustomed to. If your dog is not crate trained, we’ll discuss the best option to ensure they’re safe and comfortable while I’m at work. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. On evenings and weekends, I’m home to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and affection.
About: I’ve had the privilege to care for animals professionally for over 20 years in the zoo field. My work has given me extensive experience reading animal behavior and providing patient, low-stress care tailored to each individual’s needs. While my career includes working with a wide variety of species, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or just likes things done a certain way, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make each visit a positive experience. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, multi-pet households, and administering many oral medications. I use positive reinforcement, prioritize safety, and pay close attention to details, so you can trust that your pet’s routine will be followed carefully. Communication is also important to me. You’ll receive updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! On weekdays, I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before work and again after 4:00 p.m. Since I work a consistent first-shift schedule (7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.), you can count on reliable availability. My weekends are Sunday and Monday, when I have much more flexibility for visits and walks throughout the day. For drop-in visits and walks, I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, administering approved medications, cleaning litter boxes, potty breaks, playtime, or simply spending quality time with your pet. During walks, I pay close attention to each dog’s body language, the environment, weather conditions, and any potential hazards. I use positive reinforcement and never force a pet into situations that make them uncomfortable. If your pet is shy or nervous, I’ll let them set the pace and work to build trust through calm, patient interactions. I also know how important communication is while you’re away. After every visit, I’ll send you an update with photos and let you know how your pet did, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Melany was fantastic! She was attentive to our pups and provided nice updates and photos from her visits. She was flexible with her schedule and willing to work with us to accommodate what we needed. I highly recommend her (and so do our pups!!) We will be working with her again when the need arises!!”
About: Caring for my own fur babies and loving rescue animals for over 30 years — I will treat your pet like the treasure they truly are. Retirement means I have the gift of time! My days are open and relaxed, which means your pup gets my full love and attention — walks, play, snuggles, and plenty of pampering from morning to night. I don't just fill the food bowl and disappear! It's full-on pampering mode 🐾 — walks, playtime, cuddles, and all the belly rubs your pup can handle. I follow their routine, keep your home tidy, and send adorable photo updates along the way! 📸
“Alexia went above and beyond to not just make sure my two kitties were taken care of, but also managed to keep them comfortable and happy while we were out of town for a week! She cleaned the litter box out and even tidied up and vacuumed when needed. The cats love her and we will definitely have her back”

I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

About: I have taken care of dogs full time for 23 years. I owned and ran a family owned kennel for 22 years where I offered breeding, whelping and obedience and protection training. I have loved dogs since I was a little girl and I have never had a period in my life where I did not have a dog. I work full-time at home (remote). I am home all day meaning I can be with your baby. I look forward to watching your baby! My home is pet friendly and I have several kennels and dog beds in my home. I also have easy access to a very nice, clean, controlled dog park.
“We felt soooo comfortable leaving our Kaiser with Lauren and Justin. They made sure to tell us everything that was going on and sent plenty of pictures, which I appreciate so so much. He had a wound while we were away, and they were so nice to put some medicine on it. Will definitely book again for next time we go out! 100% recommended ?”

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 Midlothian 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
