“Jessica was an outstanding cat sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided for our two cats while we were away. Both of our cats are extremely shy around new people, so we knew it would take someone patient and attentive to care for them properly. Jessica did a wonderful job making sure all of their needs were met, even when they weren't eager to come out and socialize. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats of different personalities. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that she paid close attention to their well-being and made sure they were comfortable, fed, and cared for throughout our trip. When we returned home, our cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed. We are very grateful for the excellent care Jessica provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable cat sitter.”
“First time using a sitter for our baby astro and Caitlin was fantastic! She provided top-notch care, ensuring our furry baby felt loved and comfortable. Excellent communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for animals made the experience worry-free. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of kittens to senior cats. I also own 3 cats. Drop in visits are offered for your fur baby in your home. I used to breed eskimo spitz dogs for many years. I am retired so my schedule is open seven days per week except when I travel. I will run errands mid-day and provide visits before and after that time. In the clients home, I will follow instructions after visiting in advance of the sitting date with you to understand your cat’s routine. Drop in visits only.
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”
About: Over 20 years of my life I have had and cared for dogs among other animals. My husband and I love dogs and will give everyone lots of love and attention. We will get at least 1 walk per day. We will follow all instructions you provide along with sending you photo updates on how they are doing. I have had experience administering medication orally and injection. And, if they don't have skin allergies, I'll even give them a bath before they go home if they got messy while playing :). I am currently a stay at home mom for our children (10yo, 5yo, 4yo, 2yo and infant). So please allow our family to give you some piece of mind while you take a vacation at Christmas and other times during the year. Cheers! I am a stay-at-home mom of 5 young children who loves dogs. We are at home a lot of the time and can provide each animal with love and attention. We have a fully fenced in yard. In the summer if it gets super hot the majority of the playtime is indoors. We also love playing outside with the dogs weather permitting. We separate dogs for feeding and if we see any issues. They all get crated if we leave unless they are used to being out.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to making every pet feel like they’re part of the family. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra patience and training, to senior dogs who require a little more care and comfort. I’m also comfortable handling minor medical needs, such as administering medication or managing specific care routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I tailor my care to suit their personality, energy levels, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring they stick to their schedule, I’ll provide the love and attention they deserve. I go to college full time and my schedule varies throughout the week but I have lots of free time in between and after classes in order to give your pets the attention they need. Weather it is snuggles, play or care my priority is meeting your pets needs. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, to make sure your pets stay happy and healthy. In addition to caring for your pets, I also keep you updated on the state of your home. I’ll let you know if I bring in packages, notice anything unusual, or address potential concerns, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide exceptional care for your pets and your home!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a very young girl. I now have my own family and I still love animals of all kinds and have a special love for dogs. I have had dogs from puppies up until their senior years and have had experience caring for the needs of all ages. We love to travel also and understand wanting to know your fur babies are well taken care of and loved while you are away! I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom and my husband works from home so your pets will often have someone with them to keep them company and love on them. We have a fenced in backyard with grass, trees, and access from their own dog door! Plenty of room to run, play, or enjoy the sunshine in. We have space indoors for a crate and prefer to crate your dog(s) at bedtime.
About: i've been taking care of fur babies since i was young. Anytime, neighbors, family, and friends needed help caring for their pets, I was there! I will care for your babies as if they're my own. Pet Sitting/Care is currently my full-time job. I'm always accepting new house sits and drops ins, l make sure to update my calendar every couple of days. I do like to do meet & greets before any new sits/drop ins, even if it's just a quick video chat. I don't currently offer boarding services but If i did, I would make sure to your pet is as comfortable as possible in my home. In clients homes, I will play with your pets, and take them on as many walks as needed for them to burn off energy. I will feed on time and keep your pets schedule as normal as possible.
About: I am very familiar with small to mid-size dogs. I have cared for a Beagle Pit and a Catahoula Leopard dog for nearly 12 years with my family. I am famillar with dog walking and feeding these dogs. I also helped care for my aunt's smaller dogs on my visits years ago, a Shih Tzu, Yorkshire tTrrier, and two other small dogs (all rescues). I am currently only involved in my studies so my schedule is more flexible. Starting mid-August I will have one 3-hour block Monday through Thursday that I will need to be in classes. Beyond this I am flexible! I can only care for pets in you/the client's home as my Catahoula Leopard (as the breed suggests) is extremely territorial. I can do drop-ins or walks for your doggy throughout the day.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner, caring for pets isn't just a job for me—it's a second nature. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat them with the exact same love, patience, and attention to detail that I give my own dog. Because I am balancing my schedule as a college student, pet sitting is the perfect way for me to bring a little joy into my routine while providing top-tier, dedicated care for your furry family members. While I work part-time occasionally, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to dedicate ample, uninterrupted blocks of time to pet care. When I am with your dog, they have my absolute, undivided attention. I do not multitask or take other commitments during our time together; my sole focus is entirely on ensuring your pet is happy, exercised, and completely cared for. As a walker and sitter, my primary goal is making sure both you and your pet feel entirely comfortable. I establish a calm, trustworthy presence right from the start. I strictly focus on finding the perfect balance between proper nutrition, consistent fitness, and necessary rest. Every walk and visit is tailored to your pet's specific energy levels and health needs to keep them safe and thriving.
“Jackson is one of the most excellent sitters in the area. He is super communicative, accommodating of last minute changes, timely, and most importantly, gentle and kind with our Cléo. We had a big chaotic event going on that pulled our attention and focus elsewhere, and we felt very confident and reassured leaving Cléo with him because of his ability to adapt and problem solve if needed while we would be managing other things. Thank you for your grace and patience Jackson!! Cléo and our family appreciate you greatly! 🥰”
About: I have had and cared for dogs my whole life and have lived with cats at one point as well. I’ve dealt with dogs from the puppy stage all the way to 15 years old. I have also dog sat for multiple people’s dogs for extended amounts of times. I have always love animals and taking care of them! I do currently work full time but i am prepared to care for your pet anytime i am not at work! I usually leave for work fairly early and get off fairly early so for a good portion of the day they will have someone with them. I can easily care for your pets the way you prefer me to. I have dog sat for multiple people who have all very different demands and requests. I’m very accommodating!
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I have experience caring for dogs and cats both as pets and working animals. I have a bachelor's degree in behavior analysis and am pursuing my master's degree in behavior analysis. I focus on force and fear-free techniques when interacting with your pet. I implement positive reinforcement to create fun and lasting good experiences! I am home all day, so I have the flexibility to care for your fur babies whenever they need. I know that each pet is an individual and has their own schedule, and I am willing to work on their time I have a fenced-in backyard as well as two dog parks in my neighborhood. I believe that the animal is always right and look to accommodate the pet and their ever changing needs. I approach care without the use of aversives and punishment. I hope each animal leaves our interaction feeling relaxed, safe, and loved!
About: I'm a huge animal lover, and have had everything from cats and dogs to ferrets and fish! I've always watched over other people's animals for as long as I can remember and love every moment of it! From cuddling with a lazy fur baby to going on long runs to let out some energy, I've always been able to match any pets energy! I am a full time college student currently studying at NCTC! I'm usually free for the most part if not in class or the weekends where I get most of my studying and homework out of the way! I'm always willing to abide by any house rules you may have or areas that are off limits or need extra eyes on. I'm more than happy to crate dogs and make sure cats try not to scratch up furniture!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. At one point we had 6 dogs in the house growing up. When I was 11 I began working at a local puppy shop called Diamonds and Doggies. We cared for all the puppies which included feeding/bathing/playing with each of them. I currently own an XL Bully who weighs 115 lbs of pure muscle. I was apart of an organization on campus at the university of Miami known as UPurr. We took sick and injured cats from around campus to foster them and help them recover. I’m currently working part time as a waitress at a nearby restaurant. I’ll have plenty of time to fit your pets into my schedule as I have no other commitments. I’m a very patient and loving pet owner. Depending on your pets needs, I will make sure they have the best time with me as well as get their exercise, play-time, treats, medicine (if applicable) and lots and lots of love. I know how scary it is to leave your fur babies with a stranger, but I will make it the best pet-sitter experience you’ve ever had!
About: I love all of the pets!! My Husband and I have three cats and one small dog at our house and a fenced in backyard. My best friend is a vet so she gives me all the advice and tips on dogs and cats! I can cater to anything you prefer, if you have very high maintenance or chill pets. My dog gets along with other dogs but we can seperate her to a different part of the house with a dog gate if needed! Drop by care is fine or if you’re going on a trip, we would love to have your pup stay with us. They are in greaf hands, lots of backyard play and will be very spoiled! Can’t wait to meet your little guys!! Im home a lot so I have much time to care for the animals here! We have a big back yard and I love going outside with them for exercise! Whatever your care preferences are, we try to accommodate to that! Just communicate with me what your expectations are, we want your dog to have consistency.

We had such a wonderful experience! Dillon took care of our dogs for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the start, communication was great and he kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable when we got back. He followed all of our instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northlake 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 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!
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 .

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

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.
