“Q was awesome for our trial run. I have a very active young dog, and from our first meetup she had him under control. I feel very comfortable having her around my dog and in my home. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again.”
About: My lifelong bond with animals began in childhood, growing up surrounded by pets who felt more like siblings than animals. This immersive upbringing allowed me to develop a deep empathy for them and a unique ability to read their subtle cues. To me, pets aren't just animals we keep—they are individuals capable of profound companionship. Animals easily recognize me as a friend, sensing that I am someone who genuinely respects their space, understands their needs, and loves them just for who they are. My sister would drive 10 miles everyday to drop her puppy off with me, despite closer friends and family who wanted to care for him. She knew he would be the center of my attention and she would never have to worry. I own a small chocolate business and chauffeur kids to and from school and activities makes it difficult to have a basic 9 to 5 and I miss being around dogs We no longer allowed pets in our home so any sitting I do will be at the pet owners. The type of pet care depends on the pets demeanor. If they are used to close attention or hate being alone. Then we chilling together, if they are more like a cat but still need supervision I won't cramp their space. They just know someone's around when needed or to keep it off trouble When my sister had her puppy that everyone wanted to sit.. she drove out of her way to bring to me, I was the only one she knew he was in great hands
“Melissa was very personable and professional. We immediately felt comfortable with her watching our 2 kitties after meeting her. We received lots of pictures, and she was always on time for the check-ins. One of our cats has special needs and is VERY wary of new people, but she let Melissa pet her several times while we were gone for the weekend. She clearly has experience and passion for this job. We will definitely be using her services again, and we are so glad to have found her!”
“Sophia did a great job taking care of our 2 cats for over a week while we were traveling. She followed our instructions well and we would be happy to rebook with her in the future !”
“Claire is Fantastic. She was incredibly attentive to our pets, reliable & responsible, and we knew our fur babies were in good hands. She has a great personality, her kindest & compassion for owners and animals comes through. Highly recommend”
“Emma is FANTASTIC! I received a lot of photos and videos which made being away from dogs a lot easier. Emma is so caring with my animals and is the only dog sitter we will be using.”
“Tereza did such a great job taking care of my three cats! She took direction well and was easy to talk to and explain all of the intricacies with my home and cats needs. I really appreciate Tereza going above and beyond and scheduling a meet & greet with us beforehand! Definitely recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you!”
“Kaylan was great with my cat, very communicative and gave me regular updates with pictures. I have peace of mind going out of town knowing Kaylan is checking on Penny!”
About: Do you want someone to love your dog and care for it the way you do? That will be me and my 13 year old daughter. Our pup Coco is good with all types of dogs. It helps she has 11 best pup friends she sees from time to time. I am the one girl who always is asked to watch dogs for family, friends or family friends. I would love the opportunity to play, walk, and dog sit your favorite companion. I hope you choose me and if you have questions please do not hesitate to ask. A dog walks into a bar and hops up on a stool. He looks the bartender straight in the eye and says, “Hey, guess what? I can talk. Have you ever seen a talking dog before? Amazing, right? How about a drink?” The bartender thinks for a moment and says, “Sure, the toilet’s right around the corner.” I work from home every day of the week so I’m flexible with interacting, playing, walking and letting your pup outside when he or she need to. I have a fenced yard and a pup to keeps your company. Spacious backyard and squirrels to play with. So many toys to also keep your best friend busy and happy.
“Excellent! Compassionate, thoughtful, accommodating. Robin was fantastic. Our flight home got canceled and we needed Robin to take care of our pug a few extra times and she was so helpful and supportive. While we were away she genuinely watched our dog's disposition to ensure he was okay. Totally trust her.”
About: I have always grown up in a household full of dogs, having 3 as my childhood pets! I absolutely adore dogs and as I moved away to college, I couldn’t stand not having a little best friend by my side. I currently have a rescue who I adore! Family and friends have relied on me to care for their babies and I hope you do too! I can’t wait to give them all the love!! I currently work 3 days a week as needed in healthcare, so I have plenty of time to play with and love on your pups! I generally work different days every week but I keep my schedule updated on Rover. I am available for play time, walks, feeding, and letting your pups outside. I am pretty flexible and open, just let me know you and your dogs needs!
“Brenda was absolutely amazing!! We came home to happy calm dogs, even our shy old lady of a cat came out to greet her every night! We enjoyed seeing pictures of them while we were gone and seeing how happy they were. I highly recommend Brenda if you are looking for someone you can trust!”
About: I have always loved animals and used to foster and grew up with 4+ dogs at a time. I am eager to do what ever is needed to satisfy you and your pet. I am open to caring for almost all types of animals (yes I have cared for chickens before!) feel free to reach out and ask if you have other types of animals! Side note: if you’re interested in trying Farmers Dog, I have a referral code to get 50% off your first order! ........ I have a remote role now and will have tbe flexibility to care for your animal. I will have breaks to be able to take them out as needed. In my apartment I would plan to go on multiple walks a day or at least do a potty break while I WFH. My complex also has a nice dog park. In my clients home I’m willing to do what ever is needed. I have my husky with me and he is super friendly with dogs but I can plan to take him to my parents home if your dog is not comfortable.
About: My husband works full time while I am home with the dogs. But he works mornings and is home in the evenings! Most of my free time I am home loving on my fur-kids. If I could adopt every fur-baby out there that needs someone to love them, I would. But since I can't, I am trying to find ways to help! I have 4 resident Poms, Kenzie, Dippy, Starr, and Bandit. I also have one resident crested-Pom mix Brenner. I also have a few Foster Poms. We foster for Recycled Pomeranian's. No matter the temperament , breed, age, size, I love them all. I will treat your family member as if they were my own! I would love to take care of your baby for the day or for as long as you need. Your fur-kid(s) will be inside but will be taken out to potty and play outside frequently! We have a medium to large fenced in backyard. They are NEVER left alone while in the backyard. We have dog beds, toys, and crates as needed. You will need to supply the food. so your fur-kid will be comfortable with their own food. Also I can administer meds if needed. I hope you will let me watch your baby for you so he/she can have the time of their life being part of our family!
About: Hi! I am working as a nurse full time, but only do three shifts a week, so I have lots of open days to devote to your fur-baby!!! I have a four year old poodle named Winnie, and she loves to meet new friends. I have always grown up with animals. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and have tons of experience with puppies as my family owns a breeding business. I am also able to administer medications and handle feedings according to your baby’s schedule. I can’t wait to spoil your pets! :) On my days off, I am free all day and can work my schedule around yours! I am definitely open to in-house visits and long walks, just reach out. I have a townhome in a very walkable and pet friendly area. I frequently take my dog to dog parks, if your dog is into that! I allow animals on the furniture and if your dog is social, my dog Winnie will surely keep them busy!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richland Hills
We are so grateful that Rebecca was able to step in last minute and do drop-in visits for our dog! We are always nervous about having someone we don’t know care for her, but from the very beginning, Rebecca made us feel completely at ease. She showed our pup so much care, love, and attention, and we never felt an ounce of nervousness while she was with her. Rebecca was incredibly attentive, a great communicator, and clearly genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. We truly appreciated the updates and knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
Imán have been wonderful, she pays attention do every detail and every concern since my baby is a senior with neurological problems. She is such a calm sweet person and I believe our fur babies can sense that!! So sad she’ll be leaving soon but glad will have the best Vet in a future, I’m so glad for her! Thank you Iman!
Sarah was amazing and so communicative. She showed so much love and care for Bernie while we were away, that we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. This was our first family vacation and first time ever leaving Bernie. He is a senior dog and we weren’t sure how our vacation would impact his health. Thankfully Sarah sent us daily updates and kept us in the loop of Bernie’s daily activities. She is extremely reliable and sees these pets as her own. Anyone hesitant for a dog sitter because of the unknowns, I can not recommend her enough!
Jennifer was so good with both of my dogs! I felt comfortable knowing that she would take care of my babies while I was out of town. I also added an extra visit at the last minute, which she was more than happy to do. I would definitely recommend Jennifer. She has a calm demeanor, and you can tell that she really cares about your babies!
This woman is an angel! She’s so experienced with dogs from all walks of life and demeanors. She’s very professional and communicative and worthy to trust with your home and fur baby. My dog hates most people and they hit it off so quickly! I’m so relieved that I found someone capable of handling my reactive, and often unfriendly, dog.
This was just my 2nd booking with Jessy and Chase. They will be my go-to sitters from now on! Being a Rover sitter myself, with a fur family I cherish, my standards may be inordinately high :). In my opinion, becoming a recurring client is the best review one can provide!
I’ve been very happy with her help with my animals. She drops in once or twice a day as needed and adjusts to my schedule, which is extremely helpful, especially when I like to be gone for church all day on Sunday from like 9 AM until almost 9:30 PM… It’s so nice not having to run home in the middle of the day but yet still come home to all my fur babies, and they’ve been taken care of!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Richland Hills 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 Richland Hills 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 .

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.

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.
