About: I have been taking care of dogs cats also a dumbo rat at one point since I was young, I also have experience with pregnant cats and dogs as well as older animals too. I currently work full time Monday to Friday , during those days I am available in the evening. I am free Saturday and Sunday all day. I will always make sure safety is top priority no matter who’s pet it is, for my own pets I watch them constantly and note anything unusual especially in hot or cold weather, including things pets should not consume or what type of food they should eat.
About: Fur babies are family! They need love and patience. Growing up I had a Pekingese for 13 years and then a poodle mix for 12 years. So I learned at an early age the responsibility of caring for the family pet. My first adult pet was a mini lob rabbit which I had for 10 years. It had some medical issues in which required regular care from the local vet. A few years ago I was introduced to Great Danes and immediately fell in love! Zoe, my twelve year old Dane lived her best life. She went to parks, family gatherings, car rides, camping. She passed away last year at the age of 12 1/2. I am not ready for another pet just yet and now that I have some free time I would love to give others the sense of security by playing, loving and caring for their pet. I'm recently retired and have a flexible schedule. With that flexibility I have the opportunity to check on your pets or provide over night care with short notices. I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your pet to lay in the sun, run, stretch and play! For over night stays a crate might be beneficial depending on your pets behavior and comfort. For day to day visits I will respect your property and pet and follow your guidelines to ensure our pet friendly visit is successful.
“Meagan was fabulous. She even took the time to find my kitty that likes to hide. I came home to happy kitties and she sent great pictures. She was great with communication. Will definitely book again”

“This was my first time booking with Katie, and she was excellent. She communicated every step of the way and kept me fully informed. She is kind, professional, and has a great personality. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely book her again.”

About: I've had a number of animals since the age of 4. From birds, and fish to Cats, dogs, and rabbits! I have always had a cat or dog in my home and I LOVE ANIMALS!!! I have house sat & boarded pets for 8 years now for friends, family, and neighbors. I treat them like my own and ensure that they're fed, get walked, lots of rubs, and everything I can to keep their usual routine! I'm currently not working and want to do something I love to stay busy. I have an open schedule to handle all your pets needs. I stay in a very spacious 3 bedroom home with yard space where they have plenty of room to roam. There are also parks near to release their energy. I currently have an open schedule. I always update my schedule to reflect any changes. I am very flexible at the moment. Once I have a pet job in place I try to focus on the pet/pets. It honestly depends on the animal. Different animals react differently with new people and different environments. If there's a shy dog, I like to let them come to me and lead with a gentle and dismissive approach. I would encourage them to play or come for pets, but I would not force it because that is not their comfort level. Another may be a big ball of energy and thrive on fun, pets, and praise. I like to make sure they're comfortable and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11. I’ve had three different pets, all of whom have lived to old age and had incredible health. I’ve also served as a dog sitter for neighbors, family, and friends. I’m an avid hiker and runner, which means that your dog will have no problem having someone to keep them active. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays after 6 PM, and I also offer dog sitting on weekends. I start my day early—usually around 6 AM—so I’m happy to take your dog on a morning jog or walk, as well as another walk in the evening. Right now, I’m on summer break, which means my schedule is much more flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day as needed. If I’m in the client’s home, I respect their space, follow their guidelines closely, and maintain open communication. I provide updates and photos to build trust and reassure owners that their pets are happy and safe. Whether feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I handle every task with care and attention to detail.

About: I’m a dog mom myself to a little shitzu princess. I live between Dallas and San Antonio and I know what it’s like for people to find care they trust. I have a big beautiful backyard and I love having the opportunity to cuddle with other puppers when I’m away from my sweet girl. I have been a dog mom for more than 20 years. I work from home and some days I’m in office. Depending on the day, I have flexibility to have a little fun ! Pet care is easy peasy. I’ll have the capacity to have a little fun with your little one when you need it most . I have a fenced in back yard. I keep things off the floor. I ask Alexa about all things concerning pets and I never give anyone’s pet table food unless specifically asked and there is written consent. I walk 4 miles a day myself so it’ll be nice to have company. I also have pet gates and upstairs is off limits for both senior and puppy dogs.
About: I am dedicated to providing the best possible care for your furry baby. I will treat every dog as part of our family. I have had dogs in our family for over 20 years and everyone in our family has pets I am retired and love taking care of little dogs. They bring me lots of joy and company. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood and in the park and your dog will enjoy them also. I love to take dogs for walks, and I have a big backyard for them to play. The safety of your pets is our number one priority while they stay with us.
“Alma is awesome, she took great care of our chickens and our cat. We would love for her to take care of our pets in the future! Rover service is a very convenient way to communicate with your sitter when traveling.”

About: My experience started when I was around 9 years old. My aunt had a cocker spaniel so that was my introduction into what caring for pets looked like. I treated Diamond, her name, as if she was my own. I learned how to bathe her, feed her, discipline her, play with her, and take her for walks. That same aunt then got three more dogs; a yorkie, a cavapo, and a pit bull so I got experience with taking care of three different dogs at the same time. It was beneficial because all three dogs had their own personalities. Also, pit bulls are so sweet and not the monsters the media says they are:). Next, my brother got a husky, Koda who you may see pictured, so that helped me learn what it was like to take care of big dogs. At first, Koda was scary because of his size but I soon learned that he was just a baby who wanted attention🥹. So I did just that. I would go out and play with him, give him toys, feed him, give him treats, and take him for walksies. It was hard because he pulls but I think I got the hand of it lol. Also, one of my cousins has a chihuahua/poodle mix who I’ll see every now and then who loves to do everything. She’s given me the most experience of how different a dog can be but she’s also so chill🥰 Recently, I gained experience with cats. Me and my roomies decided to adopt a cat named Junior who definitely gave us a run for our money. From seeing him when he was 4 months to now all grown up it’s been a ride. He loves to hide, is very mischievous, hates the outside, loves to climb, and picks and chooses when he wants to cuddle. He was definitely crazy but I love him so much. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters from time to time which have had dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. That has definitely helped me expand my knowledge and gave me a lot of insight on how it is to treat puppies, kitties, sick babies, and the elderly ones🥺. So no matter what your fur baby has to offer, I’ll be there to love on them and provide them with what they need while your away🥰 I’m a college student home for the holidays so I will have a pretty open schedule! I don’t start school for another month so if you are looking for someone to watch your babies as the summer wraps up and last minute trips are taken, I got you!!❤️ All I ask for is a days notice at minimum and I’ll be happy to watch your babies. I will follow all rules presented by the owner. I will treat all pets like they are my very own and make sure they are loved and watched over!

“As always Hilary is professional, kind, considerate and comforting when I have to leave my furbies behind while I travel until I return. This was the first time I’ve ever done drop in visits and was nervous leaving the kitties by themsvles but she took very good care of them while calming my separation anxieties. She’s awesome, five stars every time!”
“Ana was amazing! We had a small mix-up with dates and even though she didn't have to make the accommodation since the error was my fault, she went the extra mile to help me! She did an excellent job with Vadar -- she seems to have a knack with connecting with dogs. I was actually puppy sitting for my daughter, but now that I know about Rover's services in general and the extraordinary service of Ana, I'll certainly be requesting her again when the need arises!”
About: The Key Word is Patience, when you first meet an animal you must be calm and patient. Over the years one learned that once an animal realized you're not a threat you quickly become part of the pack. I've raise dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hampsters. All lived and are living Long, Healthy, and Active lives. Proper medication and on time administered is important and I will ensure that it's done to you and your vets specifications. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible sorting the week to ensure adequate time is dedicated to the care of mine and your pets. I prefer to do a home visit prior to the first sitting or walking visit, to get an idea of the environment you're pet is a custom to as well as their routine. This also gives me and your pet a chance to have a brief meet and greet.
About: hello! I have been taking care of pets of my own and other peoples pets for a total of three years. I truly enjoy it, and I tend to have a lot of fun with them. On the weekends I have generally nothing to do besides going to church on Sunday. During the week I work/go to school from 8-5. I have three dogs and two cats of my own at home. I make sure that they are fed accordingly that they are exercised accordingly and that they are taken care of. I understand, that pets need to be taken care of and watched very thoroughly sometimes. So I am willing to do the same for other people’s pets!

(if it’s too expensive DONT PANIC! we can communicate and i will really take whatever you’d like to pay. I understand vacations are very expensive and I don’t want you to have to choose between a fun tour or activity with you family vs having adequate care for your baby while you’re away. If you think i’m perfect for your home and baby, please let me know what you can pay and i will always work it out! I AM WILLING TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL TO YOU (OUT OF STATE) MY MILAGE IS SET TO 100 MILES LETS TALK!)

I prefer to spend my time with them, and will treat them as if they were my own. Our time will be spent playing inside, or enjoying the fresh air outside in your backyard or on walks.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ovilla 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 Ovilla 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 Ovilla with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
