“I had a great experience with Oline while I was out of town. She came by ahead of time to meet Goose, and it was immediately clear how warm and comfortable she is around animals. Goose usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he gravitated toward her right away—which said a lot to me. Oline kept in great communication throughout my trip and sent plenty of thoughtful photo updates. It was clear Goose felt relaxed and safe with her, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Oline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was around 13 and I have been recommended by lots of people. I make sure I give your dog the best care and as much love and attention as possible. I think it’s so important to have someone trustworthy watching your doggies while gone to help the dogs feel secure and i’m that person to help do that! I do have a part-time job but I would still have plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, and play time with all your pups I have a big backyard with a fence and 1 friendly dog who would love some friends. If watching at clients home I will take all precautions needed to insure your dogs safety!!
“We absolutely love Ms. Rezvan!!! Our dog Oliver has made a new friend and we can’t wait to have her back! She sends us lots of photos and videos and we can’t wait tell how sweet she is with our fur baby. Can’t wait to use her next time ❤️”
“Miki watched our dogs for a second time and again did a wonderful job. We have a blind diabetic senior and feel completely confident that he is getting excellent care with Miki. I love that I found Rover so that our furrbabies can stay home and their routine is maintained while we are away. We highly recommend Miki!”
About: Hello, my name is Cadence! I am a recent college graduate and am looking to save money for medical school! As a 4-H member, I have had much experience caring for many kinds of animals, from guinea pigs all the way to cows. I currently own 1 dog, 2 cats, and 3 rabbits. I am responsible, respectful, and caring. Your pet will be in safe hands with me! I am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of time to play with your puppies! I am excited to meet some new friends :) When caring for pets, I make sure they are comfortable with me before proceeding into their home. I follow all instructions provided as to where to find things in the home, and then take them out for the walk!
About: I have watched dogs for the last seven years. I have whelped multiple litters from my own dog and helped other people, I find happiness spending time with animals and making sure they are healthy and happy too. I am currently working from home and have lots of time on my hands. I am looking for some cute pets to occupy my time:) We will go for walks and play together. I will be sending you pictures and updates. I have a big fenced in yard, but if your dog prefers to stay inside, then my home is their home too.
“Erin did a fantastic job caring for my new puppy before she was old enough to get out of the house and around other dogs. She made sure to take very good care of her and keep her safe. She also helped continue the training I was doing with her at home.”
“Marta & Marshall G have been wonderful taking care of my Asta. Thorough, attentive and going the extra mile of being flexible when I needed to add an additional day! I can’t give them enough accolades and thanks! I will definitely be calling on them again!”
About: I have accumulated pet care experience throughout my life with my own pets and the pets of my friends, extended family, and neighbors. I have looked after large dogs, small dogs, cats, turtles, fish, and frogs alike. I love animals, and I hope to treat yours with all the love they deserve! My schedule is extremely flexible. Currently, I do not have any job commitments, so if your pet needs a little extra care, I have time for them! I take any job that I have the privilege of landing with utmost care and sincerity. It is extremely important to me that I am considered reliable and responsible by those who have entrusted me with any job.
“we have booked her twice now and she has been amazing with our dogs she will play our dogs and make sure to keep us informed And send pictures. she does her best to work with a schedule that fits you both would definitely be rebooking her again.”

About: I have fostered pets and cared for small dogs! I have also cared for hamsters, kittens, and elderly pets. I am happy to spend time with your pets! I currently have an open availability to care for your pets! My colleague Micah is also available to provide pet care on days/times when I'm not available. Kindly message me for times and days and we can work around that schedule! I make sure to keep my environment safe for pets by putting away cable cords, choking hazards, or anything else that may pose a safety risk to pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richardson
Brooke was great! We met with her a few weeks before we went out of town so she could meet us and our pets, and she immediately made us feel comfortable. She took great care of not only our dog, but also our tortoise and fish, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!
Alexandra was great! This was her first time sitting for us, and she quickly came over for a meet-and-greet and was wonderful with the dogs. She was friendly and kind, and she asked good questions to make sure she knew how to best care for our pups. She gave good, detailed updates every time she visited, like little mini short stories about our pups and her time with them. I felt like our dogs were in very good hands and very well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Alex the next time we need a pet sitter.
Gracen took amazing care of our dog while we were away and truly went above and beyond. Communication was great, and our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home! We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Gracen again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Richardson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Richardson 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 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 dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Richardson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
