“Wendy is amazing with my cat Meowly Cyrus. When I returned home, I think my cat was disappointed it was me and not Wendy. Wendy is highly organized, sends great photos, and is even able to get my cat to play with her. I am a happy repeat client, and I highly recommend Wendy!”
“Meagan stayed with my kitty for 8 days and she was wonderful. Good communication, left everything neat and tidy and most importantly she loved my kitty which helped me be able to focus on what I needed to take care of. Super pleased!!”
“I cannot recommend Lillian enough! From the very first interaction, she was incredibly attentive to my pet's specific needs and routine, making sure every detail was covered. She was always punctual, arriving exactly when promised, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. What I appreciated most was how communicative she was; I received regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how things were going. If you are looking for a reliable and caring sitter, Lillian is the best choice!”
“We had such a great experience with Isabel watching our cats while we were away! She completed 19 visits for us and was incredibly reliable and thorough every single day. She took care of their wet food, cleaned up their dishes, handled the litter, and gave Chloe her medication and nose drops. She also made sure to spend time with them, play with them, and give them attention, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. One of my favorite things was how detailed her daily updates were. She always left a really thorough recount of what she did during each visit and how the cats were doing, so we never had to wonder what was going on at home. She also takes such great pictures! We looked forward to seeing the photos she sent every day. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our cats and took the responsibility seriously. Being away from them for that long can be stressful, but knowing they were being so well cared for made our trip much easier. We would absolutely book with Isabel again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there! I have lots of experience caring for pets ranging from my own pets to shadowing at veterinary clinics in the DFW area. I am happy to help with walks and check-ins, and I am comfortable working with any breed or species. I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, elderly and young, and can accommodate special needs. For walks I work with owners to establish the safest route according to their pups needs in! For check-ins I can do feedings, administer meds, and play with your pup to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday. I can fit in walks and check-ins before and after work on those days, but Friday-Sunday I generally have an open availability for any help you might need. Each animal is different and requires their own unique approach. I try to respect this when establishing a relationship with both owner and pet. For walks and check-ins, I will work with you to make sure I can properly care for your animal! If you are considering boarding please be aware I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own and we will need to heavily discuss if everyone can blend together safely!
“Anika has dropped in for my dogs three times. She was professional, great at communicating and handled my intense Scottish terriers well. I’ve rebooked her for future visits. Highly recommend.”
About: Fifteen years of experience spoiling furry friends! I've cared for a delightful trio of canine companions over the years, each with their own unique personalities and needs. From bottle feeding, to playful pups to senior sweethearts, I'm comfortable providing loving care for all types of dogs. I'm currently working Part time trying to add more excitement to my rutine taking care of pets lots of availability to spread care and love Comunication and trustworthiness are essential for peace of mind I will provide updates, I enjoy going the extra mile and make sure you feel comfortable with my pet care.
About: I have watched animals since I was younger whether it was my own pets or someone else’s. I have watched many of my family and friends animals and they have recommended me to their friends. I currently am a student-athlete at the University of North Texas, but I still have free time to be able to care and play with your animals! I am usually more available in the evenings and most weekends all day. I’m very attentive to their routines. I am able to take your pet outside to use the bathroom. I am able to crate your pet if needed. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, medication, or bedtime routines so your pet can stay as comfortable as possible. I have a cat at my apartment that is able to keep them company.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! Through my volunteer work at a local animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From energetic pups who love long walks and outdoor adventures to shy, nervous dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance, I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and needs. I’ve gained hands-on experience walking dogs, recognizing behavioral cues, helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable, and providing positive, enriching experiences. I especially enjoy getting dogs outside to explore, exercise, and enjoy their surroundings while making sure they feel safe and supported. Whether your pup loves a good adventure, leisurely sniff walks, or simply having someone nearby for companionship and affection, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind through thoughtful communication and regular updates! Pet care is already a meaningful part of my regular routine! I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and volunteering with animals at my local shelter, so incorporating walks, playtime, and companionship into my day comes naturally. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I particularly enjoy morning and daytime walks, but I’m also happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s established routine and individual needs. Whether you’re looking for regular walks, occasional drop-in visits, or care while you’re away, I value being dependable, communicative, and consistent. I understand how important routines are for animals and always do my best to make their days feel as normal, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. Through my experience volunteering with shelter animals, I’ve learned how important it is to pay attention to body language, recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and adjust my approach to meet each animal’s needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their familiar routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. I take care to ensure doors and gates are secure, leashes and harnesses fit properly, and pets are supervised appropriately during walks and visits. I understand that some animals need extra patience, reassurance, or space, and I never believe in forcing interactions. Building trust takes time, and I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I also believe communication is an important part of responsible pet sitting. I’ll provide updates and photos, share anything important I notice, and make sure you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets and respect your home with the same attention and consideration I would want for my own!
About: 🐶 Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love spending time with them! I have experience around all kinds of dogs, and I have a Yorkie and German Shepherd mix of my own. My family also fosters dogs, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing at the park, getting some fresh air, or simply relaxing and keeping them company at home, I enjoy making sure dogs feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m happy to give them attention, playtime, and affection while keeping their routines and individual needs in mind. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! 🐾❤️ As a college student, I have classes in the mornings and am typically available after 12:30 PM throughout the afternoon and evening. I’m also available most weekends! I love spending my free time caring for animals, whether that means going on walks, playing outside, or keeping your fur babies company while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Because one of my dogs is reactive toward other dogs, I’m unable to board additional pets in my home. However, I’m happy to provide care in your home, where I can focus on your pet’s individual needs, follow your instructions, and maintain their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my priority.
“Ashley was wonderful! She checked in on my cats while I went out of town for a week. I got an update every day and that put my mind at ease on my trip. I could tell when I got home that my cats were well taken care of. I highly recommend Ashley for a peace of mind while you are away!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ever since we rescued my first dog I’ve loved all dogs passionately. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and colleagues to care for their dogs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, love and responsibility to every visit. I am currently a full time student working on a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology. However, I have plenty of time to play with your pets on the weekends and all day Friday! I enjoy outdoor activities and would love to explore with your pets every chance I get! I provide care in your home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities—I’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and never left unattended.
About: I’ma a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Since I was young, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help care for their pets. I’m patient, dependable, and love spending time making sure pets are happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I grew up around pets and currently help care for a Great Pyrenese and three cats so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. I just moved back to Dallas after graduating from Texas Tech, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets while I am searching for a job! I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, multiple pets at once, and keeping up with feeding, walking, and cleaning routines. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Austin was amazing with our three cats! Including one of our older cats that’s special needs & requires medicine. He was detailed with his updates, made sure to spend plenty of time at the house, and left the area in the same condition for when we came home. We knew we could enjoy our time away because our animals were being taken care of so well. Thank you again!”
“Karrington was super!!! She took such great care of our baby and home. 😻🏡 She took time to understand his needs and adapt, balancing playtime with cuddle time. We were delayed coming home and she was flexible in extending. So very easy to communicate with. Could not have been more pleased.❤️”
About: As a vegetarian, I am a certified animal lover. My love and compassion for animals stem from my early childhood. I grew up in the country where I was surrounded by dogs, birds, and even pigs. As your pet sitter, my priority is your pet's safety and your peace of mind. I am a Registered Dietitian and work with patients with intellectual disabilities. I work Monday-Friday 40 hours a week. However, I am willing to work everyday of the week and travel to you! I am 100% capable of providing the same attention, care, and compassion to your pets that I do for my patients everyday! I can offer prompt meals times, filling water bowls, regular bathroom breaks, and playtime. I am also a very clean person and will always treat your home with respect.
“Demariana has truly gone above and beyond for me and my cat. I cannot begin to thank her for the kindness and service she provided during a difficult holiday season. She is a wonderful communicator and really went the extra mile for this sit.”
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs (and 9 other species) in my home, and I truly love all the fur babies in the whole wide world! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. I’m attentive, organized, and detail-oriented (from my teaching background). I will provide expert, dependable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving meds, and helping pets who have special needs. I’m also big on communication (and sending pictures) so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My home is fun, loving, and full of attention. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! My wife is a teacher so she is always home during the evenings and weekends. I work from home and enjoy having the extra company around the house. I have a fenced back yard and a big playful bernadoodle that loves to have friends over. (My dog can be relocated if your animals do not get along with others.) We live around a lake with plenty of great walking trails and big fenced in properties, lots of places to get good fresh air around us. Typically I take my dog somewhere to play of walk in the mornings, relax and get some work done until the afternoon, then try to get another walk in. We have lots of toys to play with and do lick mats and scent training games if weather is yucky.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
