About: With years of hands-on experience, I've volunteered at animal shelters where I gained valuable insight into caring for a variety of dogs. Growing up with both big and small breeds, I've learned how to adapt to each dog's unique needs and personality. Additionally, I regularly take care of my roommate's dog when she's away, further honing my skills in providing reliable, loving care. Whether it's walking, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I'm available on weekends to offer the best care for your dog. Whether it's dog sitting, walking, or just spending quality time with your furry friend, weekends work perfectly for me to ensure they get the attention they deserve while you're busy. Let me know how I can help! I take great pride in providing a comfortable and safe environment for pets, both in my home and in my clients' homes. When caring for pets in my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. In your home, I make sure to respect your pet's familiar surroundings while providing the same level of care. I stick to their routine, offer companionship, and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own, always ensuring they’re happy and well-cared for.
“Olivia was great, attentive, and was a HUGE help jumping in last-minute. Really appreciated how well she took care of the boys, and the flexibility she was able to show.”
“Marisol was great with my boy, and was able to work with me on last minute bookings. Her daily updates and pictures gave me peace of mind that he was safe and well cared for while I was gone!”
“Hannah goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are all taken care of. Absolutely love booking with her and always feel certain our pups are in the best hands. She is awesome. Love the report cards and attention to detail. Thank you Hannah!!!”
“Jacob was absolutely phenomenal taking care of our babies! From day one, he went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for, well exercised, and happy while we were away. He was incredibly attentive, detail oriented, and followed every instruction we left regarding their care. What impressed us the most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to him. Even though Jacob was a complete stranger to them at first, they took a liking to him almost immediately. His kind personality, gentle nature, and genuine love for animals made them feel comfortable and safe right away. It was clear from the start that he has a special connection with pets and truly enjoys caring for them. He kept us updated, paid close attention to their needs, and gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. Knowing our dogs were in such caring hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Hoping he enjoyed our dogs and continues to be our go to person! We will book with him always .”
About: I raised my own furbaby for almost 11 years and I petsit all my family members' animals (including chickens, guinea pigs, and even a horse). As a teenager I was the go-to pet walker and sitter for the neighborhood and I am quite talented at "convincing" pets to take their meds. I also have lots of experience with puppy pads and cleaning "messes". We just moved to FW and I plan on working part time substitute teaching while I work on updating my teaching and music therapy credentials. I'll have plenty of time (and probably energy) to come ensure your pets are staying healthy and loved. I like to keep my eyes on them as much as humanly possible, especially if they're codependent, baby/elderly, or with medical concerns. That water bowl stays full! Exercise, play, and snuggles are highly recommended. I also own a pet stroller for anyone that wants their pet "walked" without them having to actually be on the ground.
“Suzi took great, loving care of our dogs while we were away! One of our dogs is a very anxious rescue who is not a fan of new people. During our meet-n-greet, Suzi let him drive the contact between them, which by his choice was minimal. During the first check-in, she sent a picture of him with his head in her lap! She sent sweet photos of both dogs having fun and enjoying their time with her. Great experience and we definitely will be requesting repeat service!”
“Repeat customer here! Rylee is flexible and communicative, and I feel super comfortable leaving my cat in her care. I can tell he’s thrilled to see her in the pics that she sends! Thanks Rylee!”
“Amazing experience with laralen! She really shined in sending loads of pictures and keeping me updated with my pup while I was out of town. Would recommend her for any future pet needs”
“Emily was great and left lots of detailed notes! I was in town for a wedding and it took a lot of stress off of me knowing my dogs were being taken care of well.”
“10/10 recommend. Ninabelle did a phenomenal job checking in on my dogs while I was out of state. She is incredibly kind, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”

When caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection based on what each pet enjoys most. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm environment and extra cuddles, I adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I am also attentive to changes in behavior and always prioritize your pet's safety and well-being. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep living areas clean and tidy, and strive to maintain a familiar environment so your pets experience as little stress as possible while you're away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to help give you peace of mind. As someone who has grown up around animals and cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to ensure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for during my time with them.

Jill was an amazing match for our cats & took such wonderful, loving care of them. The daily updates and photos were timely and thorough. Our “scared” kitty was downright friendly to her because of Jill’s calming nature with animals. Most definitely recommend!
Rylee did a meet-and-greet with my cat on short notice before I needed to go out of town. She was wonderfully caring and attentive from the start. Her love for my fur baby was a comfort that helped me relax to be present where I was. Rylee truly has a heart of gold!
Kenna was great! She was very responsive and even offered a meet and greet to make sure she and my cat got along. She provided pictures and updates after every visit, and I really appreciate her showing up every day to make sure my cat’s food and water were fresh. Reliable and caring — would definitely recommend!

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
