“Nana O. Did a great job checking in on our sweet Sadie while we were out of town! It made our travels super peaceful knowing we could depend on her to check in while we were gone! Highly recommend her and will book with her on future occasions!”

“This my third time using Chloe for pet sitting my doggies and she is the absolute best!! My dogs love her and get super excited to see her each and every time. It feels so good to have peace of mind and know your fur babies are well taken care of when you’re away.”


“Deann was awesome! She always communicated when she was at our home, took photos so I could see my girls, and was still concerned about them when it got too hot or too many hours before her next visit. I really appreciate the help she provided while I was celebrating my brother and sister-in-law.”

“My pups and I absolutely adore Tisha!!! I chose her originally because of all of her awesome reviews and I couldn’t be happier! Tisha was definitely the right choice! She is so attentive, kind and patient with my babies! She does daily drop in visits for me and it is such a relief to know that my pups are getting the attention and love they need during the day. Tisha always keeps me updated with pictures and very detailed information on how each pup did that day! We couldn’t ask for better and I’m so grateful we were able to find Tisha!! 🐶💖”
“Juanita was amazing! She went above and beyond and all our dogs warmed up to her instantly. Will definitely be regular clients. The pictures she took of our three boys were super cute too and great for peace of mind when we are so far away.”

About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.

About: Growing up, my household always had pets. I had a wide range of dog breeds from a Rottweiler to a Yorkie. In addition to my love and experience with dogs, I would take care of a multiple cat household through the years. I have a huge soft spot for animals and would love to help take care of yours. I am currently a full-time student so pet care fits in well with my schedule. I am able to commit to these pets in between my class schedule. I care for pets by first fulfilling any and all requests and instructions left by a pet owner. No one knows a pet better than their owner! Second, I learn to read a pet and what signals I can pick up through their habits and actions.
About: My name is Hunter J. I had four cats and a dog. My cats names are Starmoon, Cluck, tiger, and mama. The dog is named Sam. Sam is a Rottweiler And all the cats our rescues from a farm. I’m a freelance photographer. I take nature shoots, portraits and also pets. I’m very athletic and can play pretty much any sport. I went to Australia for a month and have been the the US Virgin Islands. I learned some new language and a lot about culture from travel and I plan on continuing. The greatest medicine is some sunshine and laughter. I shall take care of ur pets like I treat mine with lots of love and care. I believe if your pets not happy, neither are you. I work i full time job at millhouse auto body from 8am-5pm. I will be able to stop in before work for potty break or walk. Than I get an hour break so whatever time you need me to take them out, just let me know and I can leave. And then I can stop by after work as well. I moved to an apartment that offers fenced in community as well as dog park stations. And currently have no other animals living with us.
About: At 35, I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by everything from horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and birds to snakes. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing enrichment, and keeping pets active with walks and outdoor time. I’m dependable, respectful, hardworking, and committed to giving every animal the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I recently moved to Corpus Christi to continue my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. My schedule is flexible and open outside of classes, we can discuss availability based upon your needs. As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your pets. I believe in being respectful, responsible, and mindful of your home and your pet’s routine. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I engage with them. I have a passion for training, so I naturally reinforce good behavior, structure, and basic commands while I’m with your dog. I’m patient and attentive, whether I’m working with a young dog building habits or a senior dog who needs a calm, gentle approach. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and more balanced when you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my schedule so I can give each pet my full attention during visits or stays, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home by keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow their established routine closely and pay attention to their comfort, body language, and behavior. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not alone, while also keeping the home tidy and respected at all times.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m patient, attentive, and responsive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle care. I’m very observant and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Now that I’m away at college, I truly miss having animals around, so pet sitting is something that brings me joy in the meantime. I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💛 Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. As a college student, I have structured class times, which allows me to create consistent morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m used to building my day around animals since I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening cuddle time, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. On weekends, I typically have even more flexibility, which allows for longer walks or extra playtime. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I prioritize because I truly enjoy it. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with close supervision. I ensure they have a safe space to rest, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and lots of companionship. Because I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes, especially for puppies or senior pets who may need extra care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to provide consistent, loving, and responsible care. 🐾💛

If I were to care for pets in my own home,I would make sure we have space to play and I do have a backyard that’s fenced , they will get lots of love:)
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for about 6 years ranging from dogs and cats to ducks and pigs. I love taking care of furry friends and adapt well to each animals unique personality. Whether it’s going for long walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or just offering comfort and companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible school schedule that allows me to be home regularly, which makes it easy to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I have a fully fenced backyard and two fur babies of my own, a cat and a dog who are great with other animals. My dog is free roaming, but I also have an extra crate if needed. I make sure all pets get plenty of attention, including frequent walks and outdoor play. Whether in my home or a client’s, I always provide a safe, clean, and caring environment.

My very standoffish snobby cats actually made friends ..Ms Chloe makes vacation 💯 more relaxing knowing they are in good hands. She actually put together new toy that happened to show up while I was on vacation. So pleased I was able to find someone so caring to look after my "kids".

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
