“Colby is WONDERFUL!! She kept me updated on my fur babies, which helped me know they were okay as I was out of town. Very Sweet! Highly Recommend. I will definitely contact her next time and hopefully she will be available to take care of my babies!! Thank You So Much Colby!!”
“Erica was wonderful with our goody girl Sadie (cat), as always. We were particularly appreciative of her flexibility during this trip, as we had to extend it on short notice due to a family emergency. Thank you, Erica!”
About: I’ve always lived with an animal and enjoy taking care and playing with pets. Growing up, I assisted with caretaking for our 3 dogs and I currently own a cat, Stella, who is my baby. I’m currently a grad student at Tarleton with mostly online classes so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet! I only have classes on Monday and Tuesday and they only last 4 hours each so I have a flexible schedule! I have a sweet cat and we live in a tiny home right outside of Stephenville. I own plenty of cat and dog toys, and have access to a small fenced yard for dogs.
“Kailei was extremely communicative and responsive, and took great care of our two cats during drop-in visits. One of our cats is very skittish and was always hiding, but Kailei diligently found her every day to assure us that all was well. She also gave us updates on the condition of our cat with a chronic disease, which was a comfort. We will definitely book Kailei again in the future.”
“Katherine did a great job with Kasia! It was great to get a nice message on how Kasia was doing and pictures. Kasia was happy to see us when we got home, but Katherine definitely took great care of her while we were away.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I have a Goldendoodle, two Poodles, and three cats, and I’ve been pet sitting for 2 years. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Caring for animals is something I do every day. Between my dogs and cats, I’m already used to feeding, exercising, playing with, and looking after pets. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they’re well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their regular routine, provide fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away!
About: I’ve grown up taking care of pets, I treat every pet like they’re my own, with dependable care and a safe environment young or old. I’m only going to school two days a week and have an open schedule the rest of the week. Even while gone trusted parent home. I have a fenced in yard, three friendly dogs who are comfortable around other pets. Able to crate any pets if needed. Food, water, ect.
About: I went to college to be a Vet and although I ended up in sales I definitely learned the basics on how to take care of your pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. My background as a vet student also means you can trust me to be consistent, communicative, and professional. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m pivoting from sales into marketing and, while job-hunting, I love spending my time caring for dogs. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pup all the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need. 💕 follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles included. 🐾 I’ll also keep things tidy and send photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. 💕
“I would definitely book again, Natasha sent plenty of pictures and communicated how my dog was doing. I plan on booking with her in the future for any future trips we can’t bring our dog along to. 10/10 recommend.”
About: I feel living on a farm, I can offer a dog plenty of exercise and play. I have owned dogs most of my life. I don't have any dogs as of now, so I feel this would be a great time to become a sitter/walker. I try and walk at least 3 miles a day myself, so I would also be able to walk the dog on a leash if that is needed. I am a reliable and compassionate person and love all animals, I own horses as well. I will play with the dogs outside as long as weather permits. I will have fresh water for them and a clean place to lay down. Please consider me when looking for a reliable dog sitter. I am retired, I have a ranch with my own animals, and I think pet sitting would be amazing to get me out of my house. I take care of client's animals in their homes. I will walk, feed, give supplements. I can also stay in the home if needed. It is up to the client's needs.
About: I’d like to think I’m the whole package, ever since I could remember I have been an animal lover and care taker for the furry friends! I would be honored to spoil and take care of your pet as if you were at home doing it yourself! From Mastiff to Chihuahua and even cats I’ve got you covered with your pet sitting needs! Loving and caring for animals is truly what I was made to do which is why I love doing this on my spare time! My schedule is very open, I do work during the day but all my spare time is spent with your pups and giving them all the attention and love they deserve! I’m very flexible with whatever schedules or needs you expect for your pets! For me personally my dogs eat specific additives in their food, sleep in bed with me, and get constant outside time! I know some people are very simple with their dogs routine and others are more complex! I’m here for it either way! I’m as flexible as you need me to be, because the care for your pets is nothing to mess around about!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 189 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Paluxy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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 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.
