“Alicia was a fabulous pet/ house sitter!!! She kept n touch n sent pics !!! She survived my heathen children and was a kind soul about it!!! I will definitely book her as often as she is available!!!! 💕”
“Nadia was wonderful! She watched our pets while we were out of the country for two weeks and kept in regular communication and always sent fun photos. We recently moved to the area so I feel such a relief in finding someone who I can trust and that my pets enjoying being with.”
“Maggie went above and beyond in every aspect of taking care of Herb. She was accommodating with my late drop off and when I got home from a long day of traveling, she offered to drop Herb off to me to allow me to get settled! Daily updates reflected such a happy and well behaved gentleman— very clearly he received attention and affection constantly During his stay. This is my second time working with Maggie and I have 100% confidence and trust in her abilities as a pet sitter. Trust me when I say your pet will be spoiled and you will be well informed of all details of your pet’s stay. Total peace of mind for me and one very happy pup—thanks Maggie!”
“Super sweet and such a pleasure to work with! She kept me updated on when she was heading over and even arrived 10 minutes early, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time, and she sent me a video of my pups while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsible, thoughtful, and even brought her own food (even though I told her to make herself at home). I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. 🐾💛”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different kinds of animals. Since that time, I’ve rescued a few cats and dogs with mental and physical issues. I’ve learned that each animal has their own personality and needs and am happy to provide what they need. I have a flexible schedule. I am able to give your pet the time they need. Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, or some cuddles. I am able to follow instructions. I understand how important it is to keep your pet on a routine, especially when you are not home.
About: I have lived with pets my entire life, I have a 5 year old dog currently. Additionally, I’ve pet sat for friends and family frequently when they leave for trips and used to help my grandmother foster kittens! I’m currently a senior at Clemson with a light schedule so I can drop by before/after classes with ease! I have time in the mornings and afternoons for walks and am available most days for pet sitting! I have a very active dog and am used to playing or walking outside for enrichment time. I grew up around cats and dogs and am very fond of both! Whether you need someone to play with them or just keep them company I would love to meet your fur baby.
About: I am the owner of a 6 year old Belgian Malinois and an almost 11 year old minature Daushund. Being the owner of a Belgian, I have been opened to a whole new world of dogs. I love to take them for walks, teach them, and find a confidence with dogs. I love cats as well. Senior pets are the best. They need gentle care at times, a bit more patience and a little more time from point A to point B. I am new to being a dog walker/ cat care giver, but my love of animals will shine through. I have taken care of my sisters cats, dogs, bunnies for over 20 years. Just getting started publically, but I will love you pet as if you are still at home! I do not have a fixed work schedule at this time to limit visitations. I am available for most times during the morning or afternoon. I will be glad to clean the litter box as needed and accidents made by the doggos, provide food and fresh water and other reasonable requests pertaining to your cats and dogs. And of course take your fur friends out for walks when needed. At this time, owning a Belgian Malinois, I do not offer home services to be provided in my home.
“Adelyn was wonderful! My doggy was so well taken care of while we were gone, as it was evident when we returned. She regularly communicated with me to coordinate her schedule with Sweet Pea’s needs, and she accommodated me when I had certain crazy requests of her. She’s extremely friendly and quick to understand what we were requesting of her. You won’t be disappointed if you use her!”
About: Pets have so much fun here, they try to come back in during pickup time! My family and friends also help play with dogs and assist with drop off. Look for the yellow sign at 1210. For boarding schedule between 7am and 745pm, only bring dog food. All pickups and drop offs must be before 8pm. No bowls, no beds, no leashes, there are plenty of extras here. Several dogs here play together everyday like a big dog park so I can only take healthy active dogs that do not have any infectious or contagious illnesses. The best fit is a playful friendly dog that wants to run and have fun (not a dog that needs to be alone or the only pet). I cannot take senior dogs that need multiple medications or dogs with mange, or bordatella or heart worms. I provide several services including boarding, training, walking, daycare and more! My boarding schedule is usually 7am to 730pm for pet drop off and pet pickup. However, I take a day off or two and friends or family will substitute for me. I do have some family time at dinner so its best to schedule drop off and pick ups before 5pm or after 7pm to accommodate the time it takes for new arrivals. All pets get to play with other dogs. Every dog gets free time outside daily I ensure all dogs are safe and create a calming environment for them! Puppies and small dogs are welcome and do great here with the friendly group of little dogs.
About: I am very attentive and punctual! I love all animals and enjoy both an active time or a chill day! I love going on walks, playing catch, and snuggling! I am available pretty much any weekday after 2:00 pm except for Mondays! I am willing to watch animals for an hour-overnight stays! I promise they will be in great hands! I take pride in my attention to their little personalities and their needs! I can also be flexible with anything the family requests! Your pets happiness is my priority
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love! I have experience dog-sitting for families, fostering dogs through a local humane society, and working with animals at a veterinary clinic that cares for both small and large animals. These experiences have helped me become comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication as directed, or simply some extra company, I’m happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 As a college student, I have a busy schedule, but caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I balance school, work, and my other responsibilities while staying organized and dependable. I plan my schedule ahead of time to ensure I can give each pet the attention, care, and exercise they need. I am happy to discuss scheduling in advance to find a routine that works best for both you and your pets. My goal is to provide reliable care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 In my own home, I make sure pets have a consistent routine, fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and attention, and a clean, comfortable environment. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions carefully and stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special care they may need. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands! Expect lots of photos and updates while you are away!!
“Colleen was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd. She was so sweet and attentive with him, and she kept us updated throughout her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! I would recommend Colleen 10 out of 10 times and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”
About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.
“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was very thoughtful and communicated well while I was away. She kept the house tidy and the dogs seemed happy when I returned. I would highly recommend her services!”
“It was great having Tyler watch our two chocolate labs in our home. Everything went smoothly and the dogs were happy! Will definitely use Tyler again and hope he will become our regular fur baby sitter!”
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and have been working there for nearly 6 years. I have a certificate in pet first aid and CPR, currently in medical school, and I’m a qualified dog-lover! Even before my employment, I have had years of experience dog-sitting for people in my neighborhood. (Since before I could drive.) But my job has allowed me to learn difficult medication schedules, puppy care, senior dog care, and how to work with dogs as little as yorkies to as large as great danes. If I’m not taking care of dogs at work, then I am at home with my own babies. I have a dog and two cats, and my entire world revolves around them! I work best off of routine, and I will admit that I get a little flabbergasted when I don’t have a good schedule. My dogs are house-trained and fed twice a day during breakfast and dinner. However, when dogsitting I have been given crazy schedules to work with— so don’t feel bad if you think have a lot! My dogs aren’t crates at night and typically prefer to sleep in bed with me, but I understand and value the importance of crating. I don’t mind going on walks, either! My german shepherd goes everywhere with me, so please let me know if your dog enjoys going out. (Downtown, hiking, or just a walk in the park.)
“Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took great care of our Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had pets in my household. At one point, I lived in a home with 12 dogs and 2 cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets, different personalities, and different breeds. I currently have a 2-year-old Standard Poodle of my own who is very loved and well cared for. I am also a mom of three, a nursing student, and a business owner, so I am responsible, organized, dependable, and used to managing a busy schedule. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I make my own work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet walks, drop-ins, and sittings into my routine. I’m also currently in nursing school, so I only work part-time. This allows me to plan my schedule around both school and pet care, making sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. For the Safety, Trust & Environment section, you could put: I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I’m very attentive and will treat your pet like one of my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also respectful of their space and make sure everything is secure before I leave.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northlake
Took such good care of all three of our pups!! Sent daily updates and pictures so we can keep up with what they were up to. Navigated the dynamic between our three pups so well (two of them have some anxieties and dog aggression issues). Would 1000% book again!!
Emilee was outstanding watching our dog for a week of vacation. She clearly cares for the ones in her charge and took care of us by sending regular updates and photos. Our dog is frightened of thunder so when storms came through, she immediately checked with us on how best to make him comfortable. Having someone so dedicated and dependable made it a little easier to be away from our boy.
I just can’t say enough good things about Hannah. She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of Binx and Biscuit. She left our home just the way she found it and cleaned up after the cats and herself. We will definitely use her again when we are away from home for a long time. Our cats loved her too💕
Mary was great house sitting and watching my two high energy dogs (Aussies)! She did daily walks as well as playing in the back yard + was able to accommodate their special needs (prescription food for one and chewable meds for the other). I would absolutely recommend her as a dog walker or sitter as she loved my dogs a whole lot.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Northlake 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 Northlake 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 Northlake 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
