About: Hi! I'm Riley. I've been pet and house sitting for friends for a while now, and have loved all their fur-babies as if they were my own. I will treat your home with the greatest respect and will always be dependable when it comes to walking, potty time, feeding time, and any medicine your baby will need. I am a college student so come fall and spring my schedule will change and I will try to be as flexible as I possibly can on the days that I have labs and classes. I love animals of any species or breed and always have. By the end of my visit, we will be the best of friends!It is better to text or call me. Just let me know!

I’m looking for my next great adventure after 25 years in the corporate world. I am available most mornings and evenings so will have plenty of availability. I will ensure your pet is walked in a safe manner and will be mindful of our hot summer weather by walking in the mornings and evenings.
About: I have loved caring for animals since the moment my family took us to get a dog and two cats at the age of 10. I have watched animals in the neighborhood growing up and into adulthood for friends, family and Neighboor's. I have owned one dog on my own into adulthood but she is no longer with me. I love watching and meeting new animals and I’m a snuggler and attention giver! I work remotely so I can watch your kiddos at my apartment which has 3 dog parks or I can watch from the comfort of your home or walk at either space! I can go on long walks at my place, go to the dog areas at my complex or come to your home at your pets comfortable level! I am 3 weeks remote out of the month and have plenty of time to give your pet attention, going on walks and playtime. Cuddles included! Pets are free to roam my apartment and sleep in my bed! If crate training I can definitely accommodate your routine to make your per most comfortable
About: I have loved dogs since my first encounter with one when my uncle owned a doberman in MX. I have 2 girls of my own, both rescues. I had 3 all together, but their brother passed on 2 years ago. My girls are spoiled to no end and when we go visit my siblings, my girls come with so they have play time with their dog cousins. I am currently working part time and have flexibility to take care of someone else's pup babies. I can be flexible with any needs your pup may have. I have a extra large backyard and my two girls love to play with new friends I can maintain a schedule if your pup needs it

“Jade is patient with my very timid boxer, and we hope this is the start of a beautiful new relationship. She just did a lunch drop-in today and sent us several pics, which helped us feel at ease and very hopeful that our girl will have a new bestie in Jade. ♥️”

About: I was the kid who would bring home stray animals and begged my mom to keep them lol. I spent most of my teen years volunteering with a NO KILL organization. I often assisted with cleaning out kennels, bathing, grooming, and training animals in hopes to find them a forever home. I have a German Shepherd male puppy who is always looking for new people and dogs no matter the size to play with and 2 year old German Shepherd female who is always down for a game of fetch or tuggawar. I am available 5 days a week and also on select weekends and holidays upon request. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have two dogs my self that I like to take to the dog park to socialize with other friendly dogs. Your fur baby will be within view at all times and will remain on a leash during transitions from crate, outside, or car depending on the service. When around unfamiliar dogs Precautions will take place to ensure the safety of your dog. I will only bring my dog/s for walks only If you the client gives me consent to.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from pint-sized Pomeranians to majestic Leonbergers. For twenty-five of those years, I have been a pet sitter for friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors. I enjoy pet sitting for dogs of all sizes, ages, and levels of health. Because I work from home, I am available 24 hours a day for you and your companion’s comfort and needs! I enjoy walking and being active. I offer a loving, safe, and attention-filled experience for pets in a warm home setting at my home. I have a fenced yard and will be with your dog all day.
About: I’m a registered nurse and animal lover with 7 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter care, playtime, senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and routine oral or topical medications when clear instructions are provided. My nursing background makes me especially detail-oriented about schedules, safety, and noticing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and believe good pet care includes respecting each animal’s personality—whether they want lots of attention or prefer some quiet space. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to send photos and real updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away I’m naturally on a night-shift schedule because of my full-time job, so my response times may be a little different during daytime hours. If I don’t reply right away, I’m likely asleep and will respond as soon as I’m up. I work part-time and keep my Rover calendar intentionally flexible, so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I’m available for drop-ins, boarding, and other services depending on my schedule. I’m especially happy to care for cats, senior pets, and animals who do best with a calm, predictable routine. My availability varies week to week, and I keep my calendar updated so you can easily see when I’m available I’m naturally on a night-shift schedule because of my full-time job, so my response times may be a little different during daytime hours. If I don’t reply right away, I’m likely asleep and will respond as soon as I’m up. Your pet’s safety and routine come first. My home is calm and currently has no resident pets, so boarded animals do not have to adjust to unfamiliar animals in the home. I follow feeding, medication, crate, sleep, and activity instructions as closely as possible and won’t make changes to your pet’s routine without discussing them with you. For drop-ins and house sitting, I’m careful about doors, locks, leashes, gates, and possible escape risks, and I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I only accept bookings when I’m confident I can safely meet that particular pet’s needs. I’m naturally on a night-shift schedule because of my full-time job, so my response times may be a little different during daytime hours. If I don’t reply right away, I’m likely asleep and will respond as soon as I’m up.
“When it comes to promptness, Jill is the sitter of choice. She came at the agreed upon time (two times a day for a week), sent pictures to document my cat's wellness, provided food and water, administered meds, brought in the mail, etc. It is obvious that she has compassion for animals and takes pride in a job well done. I will not hesitate to use her again!”
“Mike was awesome! I felt so comfortable leaving the pups in his care. Between a food crazed 16yr old Beagle and an extremely shy young rescue, Mike catered to both of their needs. He provided fun visit updates and really showed compassion for both dogs. He treated them as if they were his own Archie. We’ll definitely reach out to him for future dog visits. Thank you Mike for everything!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets. I’m a chiropractic student at Parker University and am responsible, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m a full-time student at Parker University, usually finished with classes by 4 PM. I’m available most weekends and have some weekday availability, including Mondays when I only have one morning class. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine! I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and love. I’ll also keep your home clean and treat it with the same respect I would my own.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that each pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping a pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I start classes at UTD on August 24, but I’ll still have time to provide dependable care before and after classes, as well as on many weekends. I also attend church on Thursdays and Sundays, so I plan my schedule around those commitments. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special care requests. I take time to help pets feel comfortable and make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay aware of our surroundings. In a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I was constantly surrounded by animals and learned early on how to care for them with patience and compassion. Since I was five, I’ve had dogs and cats, rescued and bottle-fed baby kittens, trained countless puppies, and even had a hedgehog at one point! I currently have two dogs and a puppy of my own, and I also help my dad care for his dog when he’s out of town—walking her, bathing her, and treating her like she’s part of my own pack. Every animal I care for gets the same level of love and attention as if they were my own. Whether it's senior dogs needing a slower pace or high-energy pups who love to play, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility to work from home or anywhere when needed. I’m off nights and weekends, and I’m also able to step away during the day for morning walks, midday check-ins, or drop-in visits. Whether it's a quick potty break, playtime, or some extra cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I create a calm, loving environment and make sure to follow your routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, daily walks, or bedtime habits. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I'm attentive to details, keep things clean, and always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will have a peaceful space to relax, play, and feel right at home—away from chaos and stress. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or answer questions so you feel at ease while you’re away.

We are so grateful to Zachary for all the updates, pictures and responses to our texts. Tucker always looked so happy and even though Zachary has many clients, he always responded to my texts. Because this was our first time using Rover, I was a bit anxious. We had never let Tucker stay alone but we feel much better about doing it again when the need arises. Zachary is professional and responsible with our property and fur baby. He knows dogs very well and I would use him again. Thank you so much, you really put us at ease.

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.
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 Plano 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 .
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.
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 .
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.
