“Katie was the best! She stayed with our doggos for many days/nights and made sure they felt happy & comfortable. They got lots of play time and I got many many pic and video updates of my girls. ♥️ We will definitely use Katie again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old, caring for pets of all kinds for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve done everything from walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime to staying with pets for weeks at a time while their families are away. I’m a huge animal lover (I always joke that I love dogs more than people 😂), and I have two of my own babies! I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for just like they’re my own. I’m a full-time hairstylist with the flexibility to create my own schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine! I’m consistently available in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can schedule breaks throughout my workday when needed. I’m also available for overnight stays, so your pets can have plenty of company and care while you’re away! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and company while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates for a little extra peace of mind! I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets from veiled chameleons to diabetic cats. My biggest worry when traveling is leaving my pets behind, that’s why I want to pet sit. I want people to be able to relax knowing I’ll care for their babies the way that they would. I am currently working part time and my shifts are only about 6 hours long so I’ll be complete free at least four days a week making my schedule very flexible. I have a dog but he is never left unsupervised with other animals and is always crated when I am not around . He is great with all animals and knows he isn’t allowed to chase any small animals like cats. I also have an extra room in my house which will be used for cats that I board. This is so that your cat doesn’t have to stress about interacting with any of my pets and they can relax in their own quiet room while you’re away. As for dogs this will depend on if they are crate trained or not. I personally crate my dog when I am not at home or actively watching him this is because I spend roughly 4 hours a day training, walking, feeding, etc so he gets plenty of time out of the crate to do things. That being said when I have dogs in my care they are given their own private room if they are not crate trained or crated if they are crate trained when I am not around. I have a separate area in my yard that has a large outdoor kennel where my dog will be separate from yours so that your dog can enjoy the entire back yard for bathroom/play breaks without having to interact with my dog. Your pets safety is my number one concern and I wouldn’t want anything happening even by accident! Thank you! Feel free to ask any questions!
“Jennifer was wonderful! She provided regular updates and took care of them like they were her own pups. One night, my boy got sick. She let me know and provided extra updates the following day. She went above and beyond to keep our pups happy and healthy. We will absolutely book with her again.”
“Paula was awesome! She was very reliable and had good communication. She stayed home with them the whole time she was here, and respected the directions I left for them (they're a little special). The house looked untouched when I got back. I wish I could use her for the rest of my trips this year, but she's already booked! That just shows how great she is that she's so busy. Thanks Paula!”
About: I am new to professional pet sitting. I’ve always owned my own pets and care for them very well. I look forward to meeting you. I’m currently working full time from home. I’m more flexible at the end of the week during the day than the beginning of the week. I prefer specific instructions on how to properly care for your pet. Tell me what they need and I’ll get it done. Feel free to trust me.
“If it wasn't for this nice lady we would not have been able to get away for some piece and tranquility for a few days. We desperately needed some time away from home. She was there when she said she would be there and spent the night with him in our home. Earle, our GSD loved her. He is quite high strung so it was imperative that he get along good with her. And he did. Oh he missed us a bunch and the welcome back from him was unbelievable, but we noticed him looking for Kimberly after we had been home for a few hours. We know who we will call from now on when we need to get away. Earle said so!”
About: We are a close family of all adult children who together breed and train emotional support animals. I am someone you can trust last minute or with extensive planning to make sure your vacation or time away goes off without a hitch. Reliability and Integrity are crucial when it comes to caring for your fur babies and I know how important these qualities are and how rare it is to find. I prefer to housesit in the comfort of your own home and have years of experience in doing so with our local veterinarians. I have cared for aggressive dogs that are very protective of their owner, the ones that attack when you are around, but once you leave cuddle in my lap. Busy pups and dogs that need to play, go on walks, learn tricks, and play ball to lap dogs or those who a little old and slow. I know tiny teacups need you to watch them uber carefully in every way to Large Bernese Mountain Dogs that seem super loud and scary but only require a bit more strength. I am changing my career focus from occupation to avocation. I am focusing on moving my business from the service industry to retail where I will be a delegative manager. My children are all in college in different cities where I spend time away with each one. I keep my schedule updated and flexible so that same day care is available when I am home while allowing me to change my plans to fit your required needs. I prefer to keep pets your pets at home where they are comfortable and to prevent separation anxiety. From my personal experience as a breeder and trainer and having very special fur babies of my own this is my personal preference. My pets do not need to share in the experience and they are kept at home and do not interfere with our arrangement. However, I have a 2200 square foot home with 3 acres that are mostly fenced in. I usually walk pets around the property and those that are well trained are able to stay close by where I can unleash and play. Those that need extra care will be walked for their daily duties. I actively work online and am able to keep busy while hanging our at your home keeping everything nice and tidy just as your left it.
“Kelly took loving care of my senior dog, including administering medication and walking him. She is kind, trustworthy, and connected immediately with Wrigley. She was a great house guest and I would recommend her to take great care of your fur babies.”
“Kassandra was great! When initially meeting my pups, she took the time to ask questions and let them get to know her. While sitting, she sent some great photos of my much missed pups and was a great communicator! Definitely would recommend!!”
About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!
“Jaden took great care of Deekon and took great care of the house while we were gone. It was as if we had never left. It is great to come back to a home after a vacation and know everything will be as you left it. Thank you Jaden!”
About: I spent a few years working at an animal hospital. I am able to administer both oral medication and insulin. I had a diabetic dog myself and gave him insulin shots twice a day for four years. I am also very good with cats and know how to take care of chickens. Animals are my passion. My life revolves around animals. Taking care of my animals is basically what my life is about. I am big in to animal activism; animals are my life. They will be treated like family! I know how to take care of animals properly and keep them safe. I always feed dogs separately and watch them when they go outside.
About: Although my primary job for 10 years (and counting) has been childcare, the families I’ve nannied for have pets that I’ve cared for (including dogs, cats and bees)! Family friends have regularly asked me to house-sit and care of their dogs for week-long trips (and I’m open to longer :). Additionally, I am more than happy to help pickup around the house, help with dishes, prepping meals, etc! I’m currently working part-time so I have great flexibility to care for your pets during the week! Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays are the best weekdays for me but I’m open to other days and extended trips of a week or longer :) I am happy to do drop-ins, be present and play with, water and feed, clean up after, exercise, and crate your pets if needed :)

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 Pecan Plantation 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 Pecan Plantation 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.
Tip: 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 Pecan Plantation 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.
