“Kenzie took such good care of my cat while I was away on vacation. She sent me pictures every visit and I could tell she was treating my cat well and enjoyed seeing her. She is extremely easy to talk to and is straightforward and clear with her messages. I will be reaching out to her again if I need someone to watch my cat.”

“Lindsey was everything we could hope for in a sitter for our first time using one. Peanut was not ready for boarding. He is slow to warm up. She was extra patient with him and spent extra time the 1st day. He was warming up much better each day. He had a couple of accidents and she helped clean it up. She did not have to be as caring as she was, but we are most grateful and will continue to call on her. Thank you for everything Lindsey! We could tell Peanut really appreciated your visits.”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, etc. my entire life, I’d like to say that I have my whole life’s worth of experience with pets, being that I have had them since before I could walk:)) I’m currently going to community college part-time, usually based in the mornings but can change. Other than school I am always free to do the job!! I will give your pets plenty of love and cuddles while also adapting to their daily needs and activities. I can even brush your dogs’ teeth if you’d like.
“I wanted to share my experience with Rover, particularly with Nicole, as this was my first time using the platform. I was initially apprehensive and nervous about entrusting my pets and home to someone new. However, after coming across Nicole’s profile, I decided to reach out to her. She had excellent reviews and many returning clients, which put me at ease. Nicole was kind enough to meet with me before I officially hired her. She was very warm, and my pets instantly seemed to connect with her. Confident in her care, I went ahead and booked her services, and I am so glad I did. Throughout our trip, Nicole’s visits and check-ins were thorough and reassuring. She truly went above and beyond any expectations I had. Thanks to her dedication and attention, I felt completely at ease being away from home. I will definitely be one of her recurring clients as long as she is available. If you’re considering a sitter on Rover, I highly recommend booking Nicole – she truly is amazing!”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter! We highly recommend her and would definitely book her again. She took great care of my two kitties. She provided videos and photos during each visit along with a great summary of how the cats were doing. One of my cats got sick during her visit and Jessica cleaned up the mess that was left behind on the rug. Thank you Jessica for all that you did! We arrived to home to happy and healthy cats.”

About: I have been doing Rover for quite a few years now and I love it! I am blessed to have many repeat clients who have become like family, along with their fur babies. I have a home with a nice sized yard in Wylie and I am ready to help you with your pet sitting needs. I have 30+ years of experience having pets so I am confident I can help. I do not have any pets currently. My dog passed away a few years ago and I can’t bring myself to replace him just yet so doing Rover makes perfect sense for me right now. I work from home, so I can give your dog the attention they need. I try to keep dogs from one family at a time so they are comfortable and so am II, so my clients love this. Of course, since I only watch one family pet at a time I do book up quickly so it’s a good idea to contact me as far in advance as possible. Thanks and I look forward to meeting & helping you - I work from my home so it is very easy to give your pet my full attention I can take them on walks if they like that too! I care for pets in my home only at this time as I am not doing visits to a clients homes at this time. Thanks!

“Marissa is our go to cat sitter! Rover was intimidating with all the “dog people…” I wasn’t sure if we’d find someone happy to watch our cats! But, Marissa clearly cares for them. She takes the time not just to feed them and check on them but pet and play with them which gives me a lot of peace of mind when we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I am very interactive with pets under my care. I am able to read most body language and will communicate with pets to understand their needs. I provide consistency and take them on as many walks as they would like. Will most likely take them to the dog park, if dog parents allow them. I have a full time job. I’m usually off on weekdays and can watch, walk, and/or take your furry child out while you’re at work. If given over a month in advance notice I can plan around having 4-day weekend to help watch your furry child while you have a mini vacation. I am constantly interactive with my furry children (I have 3) when I am off. We typically go on many walks and/or dog park (depending on the weather). I will provide the same attention to any animals under my care. I have baby sat many of my friend’s furry child, because I am their first go-to if they need someone to watch over their furry child. They trust I keep my eyes on them to stay out of trouble over pet hotels.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by pups my whole life and I’ve spent the last 8 years raising and caring for my own high energy dog, so I totally get the zoomies, the quirks, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with active dogs, love getting outside for walks and playtime, and always make sure each dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, a playmate, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like my own (with lots of love and maybe a few extra belly rubs). I also am very knowledgeable when It comes to reactive pups. I've worked with my dog for the last 7 years on reactive management. Anyone with a reactive dog knows how easily our pups can be triggered and how safety is incredibly heightened. This is something i'm comfortable with and total the person for the job. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and to keep your dog happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! My shift work schedule gives me dedicated blocks of availability, especially Thursday through Sunday, where I can focus on providing walks, playtime, companionship, and personalized care. I love creating a comfortable routine for each pet and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine. I have experience with a variety of personalities, including reactive and high-energy dogs, as my own dog has helped me learn the importance of patience, body language, boundaries, and positive interactions. During drop-ins and walks, I prioritize safety first following your instructions, respecting your pet’s comfort level, and providing plenty of attention, enrichment, and care. I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise, companionship, and consistency they need while you’re away, along with updates so you can have peace of mind.
“Jamie took great care of our two dogs while we traveled. She sent us daily photo updates while we were gone. We will be sure to use her to take care of our furry family members the next time we travel.”

“Lawrence is wonderful!!! He drops in 4 days a week to takes our dog outside for a potty break and to get some exercise. Lawrence is so great with her. He throws the ball and makes sure she gets to play and work off some energy and I love that he sends lots of great pics too. We couldn't be happier and hope he will help us forever! THANK YOU Lawrence!”

So my wife to be and I had a bit of a crazy request for Kimberly, which was come to our wedding venue and hang out with our fur babies. She accepted and what a perfect decision!

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.
