“Lauren did a great job. My dog was excited to go out walking with her each day. A dogs reaction to someone is a true measure of how good of a job they did. I will choose Lauren again next time I go out of town!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have always considered them part of the family.

I’m happy to care for other pets like fish or birds, and I can bring in your mail or water your plants while you’re away. I have two children who also adore animals. Sometimes they enjoy coming along with me to walk or feed pets, but only with your permission. If you prefer I come alone, I will absolutely respect that. I work full-time in education, so I have all-day availability during the summer and school holiday breaks. During the school year, I’m available after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends to care for your furry friends. I’m happy to be flexible when I can—just reach out and we’ll see what works!

About: I have been on Rover for about 4 years since I moved to DFW. I have also owned 2 English bulldogs. I have experience raising a puppy and I currently have a 5 year old, male English Bulldog. I would LOVE to take care of your fur baby!! I currently work a full-time job but I’m happy to make time to care for your fur babies! I am available for cat/dog sitting around Cedar Hill during weekdays and outside of Cedar Hill on the weekends :) I have experience with senior pets and puppies, from low energy to high energy level. Please include detailed descriptions of medication or conditions, if any.
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.

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.

About: Hey there! I’ve been pet sitting for over a decade and have experience caring for animals of all kinds—whether they have fur, feathers, or scales. While I primarily care for dogs and cats, I’m also very comfortable with birds, reptiles, and other non-traditional pets. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every animal I care for. If you have a unique pet or specific needs, I’d be happy to help! Though I work full time, I involve pet care in my every day routine. If I'm up, they're up, if I'm outside, they're outside. I live an active lifestyle. I incorporate them in my daily life, so if they are a dog that enjoys walking, I incorporate that into my routine. If they’re a couch potato then we will be couch potatoes together.
“Great experience with her. Aside from the photos snd descriptive updates I felt like she took care of them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond! Spent time with them and gave them lots of attention and even treats! I felt like I made the best decision booking her. I will always rebook her if she’s available!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ovilla. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ovilla.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ovilla. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
