“Laurie did a great job with all the dogs. She came regularly and spent a great deal of time with him. She's very commutative and attentive to the dogs. I would recommend her to anybody.”
About: Hello, Please call me Cass & Here's a little about me. I've always loved animals but I personally call them family cause that's what they are to me. I've worked Pet Stores & Even a Pet Bakery where I'd make cakes & cookies to celebrate your sweet babies. I'm a very friendly person, patient & have a deep love for all animals aka family members lol. I'm hoping to find good bookings that can possibly lead to more future bookings. I am new to all of this but if given the chance I'll treat your babies like I treat mine, Spoiled lol but loved 🤗 I'm currently working this job cause I take care of my mom who's in a nursing home dealing with dementia but I've got extra time in my days & I would truly enjoy using that time for cute lil fur babies! I'm really good with pets that I've even been called the animal whisper lol but I feel that pets can tell good people & I'm a funny loving person with a huge heart for pets. I can't even watch the commercials... Breaks my heart.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kyra caring for our dog Dewey and cat Lily while staying at our home. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending my partner and me detailed updates twice a day along with tons of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how thoughtful and attentive she was — she asked great questions, paid close attention to routines and details, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about both of our pets equally. It can sometimes feel like one pet naturally gets more attention than the other, but she made both Dewey and Lily feel so loved and cared for. We came home to happy pets and a well cared-for home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented.”
“Maya is my go to and will continue to be as long I can book her! She genuinely cares and always goes above and beyond for both the home care but especially for doggie care.”
“Shelbi was absolutely amazing while we were away for 10 days. She took incredible care of our dogs and our home, kept us updated, and gave us real peace of mind the entire trip. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Coming home to happy dogs and everything in perfect shape made the end of vacation so much easier. We would 100% book with Shelbi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter.”
“Ziana was wonderful with my dogs! She handled their medication carefully, made sure they got their walks, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely book with Ziana again!”
About: I’ve been around pets all my life! I’ve never lived in a house that did not have a dog or cat present, and it just doesn’t feel like home without one! I’m currently an owner of a 7 year old cat myself, but I’ve always been around dogs of all ages and sizes! I frequently pet sit and stay overnight for family members, as well. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 am-4:30 pm, but I do have an hour lunch break from 11:30 am-12:30 pm, which I can use to check on your pet, take them on a short walk, play, or feed them (if needed!) I do not work on the weekends, so I am 100% available to stay overnight Friday-Saturday and make sure everything is good to go before I leave on Sunday! Before I leave and while I’m there, I always make sure there is nothing left out that an animal can get into, and I always ensure there is water and food that is easily accessible to them. A good play session is something I like to do to make sure they were given enough attention before I leave, or, for dogs, I take them on a short walk to get some of that energy out!
“Abby came through for us last minute when our sitter got sick. She did a wonderful job with our shy puppy. Her communication is outstanding and really made or trip worry free. We will definitely use her again!”
“Anne is amazing! She is super friendly and our doggies loved her! She took care of them two days and the dogs were so happy to see her the second time. Couldn't recommend Anne more!”
About: Hopefully, I caught your eye. Your fur baby is my baby. I have 35 yrs experience with dealing arthritis, anxiety, and cancer. I able to take care of the sick fur babies. I had the joy of having a beautiful blonde German Shepard, Ava she was 120pds of muscle, she was my shadow, my bestie and I miss her everyday. There are other many more wonderful pets I have taken care of. I will always give you not 100% but, 102%! I had the opportunity to train Ava, after we both attend dog training, dog obedience school which at first did not go so well but, after we got the hang of it we did well, 4yrs later Ava became a Service Dog for the State of Texas. I have the time, the patience the perseverance to do this for you and I will not let you down. After, 10years with Ava, she got cancer and she was in so much pain I had to make the very hard decision to let her go 🥲. I am retired and available to take care of your fur babies. I love pets so much, the bring joy to my life every day. I live a beautiful property with beautiful landscaping. we can take lots of walks and enjoy the outdoors. We do not have a dog park.
“I would not hesitate to recommend Noah to any pet sitters. He stayed at my home and watched my two birds for over a week. Was very responsive to my messages and followed care instructions. I have to deeply apologize from my original review. I had misplaced an item and thought the pet sitter might have taken it when he left. Two weeks later the item has been located and all is well. I apologize for any difficulties that my original review may have caused.”
About: Soy técnico veterinario. He tenido perros y gatos desde niña y me encantan. Tengo experiencia en entrenamiento de obediencia así que su mascota estará en las mejores manos. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I work with dogs professionally during the day and I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits in the afternoons and evenings, as well as additional availability on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I would love to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, allergies or medical conditions, and any behavioral concerns. Please also let me know about their favorite activities, fears, triggers, interactions with other animals, and anything else that will help me keep them comfortable, happy, and safe.
“Melissa was an amazing dog/house sitter while we were away for 5 days. I received so many pictures during our vacation and could tell the pups were being well taken care of. She left our house in pristine condition and sheets in the washer! Will be re booking for any future trips!”
“Adam is such a thoughtful and compassionate person. He looked after my home, my 4 cats, and 4 dogs for 11 days, and we couldn't have been happier. They were all looked after perfectly, showed copious amounts of love, care, and fun! They all enjoyed their time with Adam.”
“This was an easy experience. Rachel communicated well, walked the dog and did everything we asked and then some. She has a fantastic personality and is a very caring person. We will definitely use Rachel again and we definitely recommend her to others that are considering Rover's service.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for Charlie! From the beginning, communication was excellent, and it was clear that Charlie was in caring and capable hands. We appreciated the updates, photos, and attention given to his needs while we were away. Charlie was happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s not always easy leaving your pet with someone else, but this experience exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Katherine to other pet parents looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was around 12 years old. I grew up with big and small dogs, and I currently live with my dog Paisley, and my cat Oakley. I rescued both of my babies and they’re my whole world! I also volunteer at Second Chance Rescue in Mansfield so if you are looking to adopt another pet please come visit. :) I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as boarding on weekends. At the moment, I’m also able to provide boarding during the weekdays, depending on availability. I’m experienced in providing care tailored to pets with a range of personalities and health needs. Pet safety is my top priority. I keep a secure and calm environment, monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health, and providing regular updates so owners feel confident that their babies are well cared for. 🤍
“Jaden was amazing. Took great care of my furbabies which gave me peace of mind. She answered all my questions and sent me updates throughout her stay. Definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
“Jada was wonderful with our dog Max. She kept us posted with pictures and updates which we greatly appreciated. She also took good care of our home. We have already booked her again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pantego
This is the second time Laurie has taken care of our girls while we were out of time and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our girls remembered her and were well taken care of. Thank you Laurie, we will definitely keep her as our first choice for a sitter going forward.
This was my first experience with using Rover as well as having anyone in my home that wasn’t family that I trusted to take care of my fur baby. Maya was absolutely perfect even from the initial meet & greet I felt very comfortable with her and how Bubba interacted with her then. Even through my concerns or better yet overbearing , Maya was patient, respectful and super understanding that I was new to this. She is such a great sitter and will definitely use her every chance I can get.
Kaelyn Took such great care of my dog while I was away. I truly appreciated her reliability, attentiveness, and the genuine care she showed my dog. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I will gladly recommend Kaelyn to others. I look forward to working with her again in the future.
Lauren was perfect for our Rose. Rose is an elderly Jack Russell who is not in the best of health. She is also a VERY picky eater. Lauren took such excellent care of our girl and indulged her picky ways enough that she did not loose an ounce while we were gone. Moreover, Lauren took excellent care of our indoor and outdoor plants during some very hot, dry conditions. And finally, Lauren was superb at communicating with us about Rose, the plants and the yard. One last thing about Lauren, she’s just super nice. We were so impressed. You will be too if you’re lucky enough to have her care for your 4-legged family and or home.
We had such a wonderful experience with Kyra caring for our dog Dewey and cat Lily while staying at our home. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending my partner and me detailed updates twice a day along with tons of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how thoughtful and attentive she was — she asked great questions, paid close attention to routines and details, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about both of our pets equally. It can sometimes feel like one pet naturally gets more attention than the other, but she made both Dewey and Lily feel so loved and cared for. We came home to happy pets and a well cared-for home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented.
Zaida provided excellent care for our dogs while we were out of country on vacation for five days. We have a dog who can be fear-reactive to new people, and she took the time to do a drop-in to ensure a positive first meeting before we even booked. We truly appreciated her patience! She was very professional and communicative throughout the entire process. The daily updates and photos were great, and we felt totally at ease. We will definitely book with her again!
Angela was heaven sent. I just recently lost my pug, one week before she was due to take care of both of my babies. Her kindness to my Sheba knowing that she was sad she showed her so much love attention to the point when I got home Sheba was crying for her at door! Angela you’re apart of our pack now Sheba said so lol. She has great heart . Thank you for helping me .
Amber is a wonderful person! She loves our sweet pup as much as we do. She feels like one of the family! She stayed at our home for two weeks and we had no worries. She always leaves things as good as, or better than, when we left. And she is a wonderful communicator in words and pictures.
Reagan was so good with our boy, Ricky Bobby!! Ricky Bobby has a few quirks like most dogs do, but one of his more notable ones is that he tends to anxiety chew on himself when we’re out of the house, and sometimes breaks skin if not stopped. Reagan did a fantastic job watching out for this behavior and kept him calm and content through her time in our home. Reagan was also very communicative throughout the visit and sent multiple pictures and updates of the goings on. Overall, we could tell that Ricky Bobby was very comfortable and happy to be hanging out with his newest bestie Reagan, and we’re glad to have found another trustworthy sitter that loves our dog as much as we do!

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 Pantego 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 Pantego 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pantego 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
